Uncover the secret annals of untold history in these eighteen medieval manuscripts. Each tortured scribe will bring you face to face with ancient horrors lurking in cursed castles, wild woodlands, haunted hamlets, and mysterious monasteries.
Including a lineup of authors both established and emerging, HOWL Society Press presents the first-ever anthology of historical horror from the medieval period, fittingly introduced by the writer who arguably started it all: CHRISTOPHER BEUHLMAN, author of the medieval horror epic BETWEEN TWO FIRES.

PRAISE FOR HOWLS FROM THE DARK AGES
“Chilling and horrifying, Howls from the Dark Ages collects multiple stories from a wide range of authors to bring the reader terror that transcends centuries. I greatly enjoyed this collection.”
—Sonora Taylor, award-winning author of Little Paranoias: Stories and Seeing Things
“A thrilling collection that pulls no punches, Howls From the Dark Ages returns the reader to the point in history when the human misery index was at an all-time high.”
—J.D. Horn, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The King of Bones and Ashes
“These stories offer a rhythmic pull, dragging its readers into the past through the lulling lyricism of woven words…you won’t be able to tear your eyes, heart, mind, or soul away from its mesmerizing chaos—nor will you want to.”
—Ai Jiang, author featured in F&SF, The Dark, and The Deadlands
“Howls from the Dark Ages offers a visceral assortment of medieval horror and dark fantasy stories from eighteen passionate new and established authors. I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology, which read like a gruesome sequel to The Canterbury Tales!”
—Christi Nogle, author of Beulah
“Amid crumbling castles and decaying flesh, come walk the wild woods, drag your feet through the black mud of perdition, face beasts from the aether, and fight for life and sanity against dark and terrible powers whose very existence deny both.”
—Mike Adamson, author featured in Weird Tales, Abyss and Apex, and Lovecraftiana
“These stories brilliantly capture the magic, grime, and fever-dream faith of the medieval world. In the hands of these macabre wordsmiths, the Dark Ages truly live up to their name.”
—Eric Raglin, author of Nightmare Yearnings
“Howls From the Dark Ages is a brutal, sometimes heart-wrenching exploration of medieval horror…The stories are compelling and unique.”
—LP Hernandez, author of Stargazers, Cemetery Gates Media
“Moonlit castles, foggy moors, ancient religions, blood smeared knights, corrupt kings, woodland witches, and something unfathomable howling just outside the ramparts. This anthology has everything a Dark Fantasy fan could ask for. Atmospheric and uncanny through and through.”
—Corey Farrenkopf, writer/librarian
