Sword Songs: An Anthology of Dark Fantasy - Volume 1

Welcome to the Grimdark side of fantasy.

Insane, murderous Gods. Warriors who, willingly or not, find themselves on quests. Cursed stones and haunted manor houses. Sacrifice, slaughter, and horror. Ancient, evil creatures. Sorcery, treachery, bloody battle and unexpected love.

This is the wild ride that is Sword Songs.
Your carriage awaits!

Volume 1 contains four tales of swords & sorcery, doom and horror:

The Crow Feeder
Tal Cádu is not a hero; he is a killer, a kin slayer,
the bane of the living. He is the Crow Feeder, and he wants
nothing more than to kill the twisted entity that dwells within
him and demands slaughter. But all endings come at a cost.

A Plague God Laughs
In a desperate attempt to save a community, an
offering is made to a long-forgotten demigod. But
perhaps some things are better left sleeping; perhaps
there are worse things than the plague.

Night’s Red Mantle
When a motley band is recruited to aid a village
under attack, they discover that the enemy is not
what it seems, and that one of their number has an
agenda that could cost them all their lives.

The Stone Beneath
A mercenary, a massacre, and a haunted manor.
Pieter Hertgers survives the destruction of his
regiment in the forests of the Spanish Netherlands,
only to become the weapon of an ancient spirit that
dwells beneath a terrifying house.

For fans of Robert E. Howard, Karl Edward Wagner and Lovecraftian horror.
