Snagging a copy of Josh Reynold’s Dark Harvest, I’d planned to crush this Warhammer Horror novel (as one does with BL novels). Unfortunately I struggled for many weeks to make progress and it took much longer than anticipated to finish the novel. Hot The ‘city’ of Wald – Most of the story takes place in… Read More Dark Harvest
