Bran Mak Morn: Red Waves of Slaughter
ByPublisher Description
Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today’s top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.
“And about the table where stood the Dark Man, immovable as a mountain, washed the red waves of slaughter.”
Dr. Elijah Blackthorn, a psychometric archaeologist with the Miskatonic Institute of Technology, seeks to validate the Dark Man statue discovered within one of the shattered pillars of the famed battlefield. Watched by an elderly priest and nun, he lays hands on the Dark Man.
Blackthorn is witness to a bloody, second century battle between the Picts and the Romans. Aided by his son, Taloric, Bran Mak Morn fights the Roman soldiers who seek to rescue the bastards of Emperor Diocletian, captured by the Pict wizard Gonar. But the sorcerer needs those of royal blood for a ritual sacrifice… an act which will send arcane ripples down through the centuries.

“4 stars out of 5.
"Bran Mak Morn: Red Waves of Slaughter" by Steven L. Shrewsbury is a quick, intense dive into dark fantasy that’s as gripping as it is gory. It’s the kind of book that hooks you fast and keeps the adrenaline pumping. Shrewsbury has a knack for vivid, action-packed scenes that make you feel right in the middle of the chaos.
What’s really cool is how it left me wanting to explore the original Bran Mak Morn stories by Robert E. Howard. If you're into something that’s heavy on the action and light on the fluff, this is your jam. Plus, it's got me hoping for a sequel to dive even deeper.
Giving it a 4 out of 5 for being an all-around thrilling read that’s made me keen to dig into more of Bran Mak Morn’s world.”
