I enjoyed that. Dark, creepy and foreboding - ingredients I love - and mysterious, suitably brutal, (I'm fond of those ingredients too) and with many unanswered questions to lead us to follow the journey into the deathly realms.

He told me he's written the next Carrion Knight story. Should be an intriguing journey to follow!

Good story. Seems like it could be at home in Old Moon Quarterly. I’m looking forward to the story in Crimson Quill.

Very atmospheric but for me over-writ and slightly messy and feeling much longer than being one of the shorter tales in this Ezine.

Definitely more story to be told. I'd like to read the complete adventures one day.

Whether a yarn about a dog loving the taste of a good bone (it's not), or a tale of the shell of a man looking for his identity (maybe, maybe not), the brutal environment with a surreal River Styx feel definitely piques my interest. I am interested in learning more about his journey and the array of possible pyrintus variations. I envision a skeletal Death-Dealer and his decaying steed, all eyes glowing from the shadows of death.
