Slow Death | Warhammer Horror Review | AstraDaemon

Life in the wild places of Shyish is not as life elsewhere in the Mortal Realms. How could it be, when Shyish is the Realm of Death itself? For one inhabitant of that benighted land, the dream of life within death becomes a nightmare when dark invaders come to Shyish and takes their skull for the pleasure of a dark god. Yet even death isn't always permanent in Nagash's domain, and the sole warrior has the chance to fight again and avenge themselves on their foes…

SKULL THRONE by Jake Ozga is a great mix of suspense and horror. The POV offers a thrilling twist towards the end.

I recommend both this short and Ozga's story, ABERATION.

As always,

Poison Within | Warhammer Horror Review | AstraDaemon

A young woman finds herself the guest of a vampire from the Vyrkos Dynasty bloodline. Will her dark romance lead her to take the Blood Kiss? Or will she resist her host’s supernatural attraction?

ABERRATION by Jake Ozga comes across as a Warhammer version of Beauty and the Beast, only much more lurid and gruesome. A young girl is accused of being a witch after her family home burns down. With visions of a hanging in her mind, she makes her way to the only sanctuary she can hope for.

Needless to say, the situation is more complicated than she can imagine. While I did enjoy the battle of wills, I found the ending a little confusing. However, I'm still recommending this one to anyone who loves gothic horror, even if you've never read any Warhammer before.

As always,
