Mordenhof Volume 1 eBook Stephen Barnard
Growing up, I was a huge fan of the fantasy genre. Give me some Robert E. Howard or Piers Anthony and I could read the day away. But.... Eventually it all started blending together. If it wasn't some noble hero on a quest to save the kindom, it was a "real world" person, or persons, finding themselves in aome magical realm, in which they are the "promised one."I lost interest.
Until now. There has been a new wave of dark fantasy taking place. Whether it's the Warhammer series, or books like Andy Remic's Clockwork Vampire trilogy, fantasy has taken a decidedly darker turn.
Stephen Barnard's Mordenhof Volume 1 stands out as a nice little slice of the dark fantasy genre. Barnard is obviously a fan, and has channeled that into three finely crafted stories. In just 41 pages, Barnard creates characters with depth, and paints scenes with such clarity, you can feel the freezing cold and smell the rotten stench of decaying flesh.
Fans of dark fantasy should definitely give this a try. Barnard is an author to watch.

Mordenhof Volume 1 eBook Stephen Barnard Reviews
Stephen Barnard's Mordenhof is a short but effective trio of stories, each of them putting a subtly horrific twist upon the fantasy genre. The world of Mordenhof is one of dark magic, darker monsters, and darkest deceptions.
In Sigdom's Idol, a cursed dagger turns already uneasy allies against one another, eroding what little desperate trust exists between them, and putting them at the heart of a battle that extends deep into the spiritual world.
In Dead Meat, a group of condemned men are offered a chance at survival, if they can just make it through the night and across the haunted ruins of Mordenbald. It's a tragic tale, one where hope seems to triumph against all odds, but where a cruel twists adds a note of finality.
In Uraboh's Curse, nothing and nobody are quite what they appear to be, with the rescue of a young boy proving to have unintended - and potentially world-shattering - consequences.
At just over 40 pages, the three stories can (and probably should) be read in a single sitting, as the shared world, themes, and atmosphere links them nicely together. Although definitely dark, the inclusion of a little morbid humour manages to keep the collection from being depressingly grim, giving it a guilty-pleasure kind of edge instead. Here's hoping Barnard has another volume to offer up soon.
