A thrilling blend of Lovecraft and Burzum; the perfect blend to create a superbly interwoven story based around black-metal's prince. The collection of short stores, all based in a fantasy alternate universe, entertain throughout, introducing a plethora of memorable and stand out characters which literally jump off the page.
Some of the tales do leave a lasting impression, some more than others, as i'm sure everyone will have their favourites depending on your likes and the mood you're in whilst reading, but the stories with heavy c'thulu inspiration (virgins torn apart in a shower of blood anyone?) always promise to deliver!
An excellent addition to the Cummings collection, with stories long enough to fill in breaks at work or ease you off to sleep at night, into dreams of elf assassins, blood rituals and beasts from the darker planes!
