Not just dead things but twisted forms… unholy shapes. And there are rumours, too—of a blasphemous union and of fell creatures that haunt the night. Yet, even as plague and witch pyres blacken the sky, the town remains untouched by the malady that has already claimed thousands and will claim thousands more. It is here, in Enfaire, that an old Franciscan friar and his ward take shelter from a storm. It is here, in a little town on the edge of civilization, that they will have their faith truly tested. His Black Tongue is a tale of medieval horror, plunging the reader into the plague-torn land of 14th century France, when pestilence and death walked hand-in-hand, and life was little more than a sputtering candle, waiting to be put out. But there are worse things than death, than sickness and decay… and it comes upon leathery black wings. Includes The Bone Fields novella and the short stories The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table and Necropolis . Review: It's a collection of short stories - The description makes it seem like it was mostly going to be a tale of francian plague and the supernatural, but this is only a very small portion of this collection of short stories. I must admit to purchasing it without seeing the small footnote, so was quite surprised when it jumped from the story I was expecting to a completely different one! Review: Certainly different! - These short stories were a bit like the proverbial Curate's Egg, something for everyone. The first story, His Black Tongue, was my favourite. It was set in 13th century France, plague ridden and beset by witches and demons. A jolly good tale of the virtues of medieval Catholicism with a wicked twist at the end. Other tales of horror varied from reimagined Arthurian legends, Viking exploits on a remote island that should not exist, Danish folk-lore (echoes of Rosemary's Baby) and a couple of dark sci-fi tales. All in all this was an enjoyable and worthwhile read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 13,620 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in Horror Fantasy 601 in Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 700 Reviews | ## Images ![HIS BLACK TONGUE: A Medieval Horror: 1 (In the Name of the Worm) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sw-RlKyeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ It's a collection of short stories *by P***Y on 6 June 2026* The description makes it seem like it was mostly going to be a tale of francian plague and the supernatural, but this is only a very small portion of this collection of short stories.
