The past is not always buried-and in the Dark Ages, some horrors refuse to die. And who better to unearth these Middle Ages tales from the dark corners of history than a roster of horror's brightest female authors? Bold, brutal, and unforgettable, this collection will drag you into a medieval nightmare-and leave you there, screaming. From cursed castles and plague-ridden villages to rumors of witchcraft and public executions, each story in this collection unearths a terror from a time when survival often meant enduring great sacrifice. Featuring fourteen brand new stories by: MJ Mars, Jeani Rector, Elizabeth J. Brown, Elizabeth Devecchi, Savannah R. Fischer, Lisa Vasquez, Christy Aldridge, Jae Mazer, KK Monroe, Laura Bilodeau, Asia Brito Guerrero, Kimberly Nicole, Ali Jane Sweet and Heather Ann Larson. Foreword by Christina Henry.
