Ashley Carter's Reviews > Howls from the Dark Ages

This is perhaps one of the most unique presentations of a novel compilation I’ve ever seen. Though I love in-depth, and lengthy novels, I do appreciate short stories when well written.

This book is written as if the reader is on a tour in a museum of creepy curiosities. As you make your way around the room looking at objects, the tour guide tells you the creepy story behind each object. The tour is comprised of eighteen objects, and each story that goes along with it has a gothic/torture/ancient horror theme.

If you are a fan of horror short stories, or enjoy all things dark/creepy, castles, curses, monasteries, witches, torture, haunted locations, etc. this will be right up your alley! I want to say that I have a favorite story, but there were actually quite a few that really stuck with me. I also love that some of them have a great moral message along with it.
