Brooklyn’s Reviews > Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror > Status Update

I have to wait until Thursday to pick this book up again bc I need book tabs to mark all the interesting things 😩

You know what I love about medieval horror, is that it tends to read like epics and I LOVE epics. A ragtag group of non believers, Jews, Christians, and a Muslim get sent to Hell. Who will survive? Who will die? Zero idea but I’m so here for this ride.

Look, the beginning is slow but the build up is phenomenal and when Dietmar encounters the first great monster *chefs kisses*. The payoff is so worth the slow burn. Unapologetically gory, steeped in Greek, Roman, Christian, Arabic, and other Pre-Islamic myths and history, I literally feel like I’m in each and every scene. Gold Star so far.
