The Accursed (Anthology)
| |
The Accursed is an anthology of short stories published by Black Library in 2021 as part of the Warhammer Horror imprint.[1]
Official description
Sentient darkness presses against the inabitants of the Mortal Realms and the Imperium of Man. In dystopian streets, anarchic desires surface, and the impressionable and malcontent find distraction in the wrong places. Lone families in heathen wastes risk their sanity to survive. These hardened souls, inured by long wars, face their greatest trials yet as evil seeks to weaken their resolve.[2]
What will these people do when horror is upon them? What violence will they incite? What anguish shall they endure? And will they shoulder their fate like heroes or drag others down in their storm? Either way, this darkness cares not. For all cries of the accursed lend it strength, and this is precisely what it wants most...[2]
