In a drowned village, on a dark shore, in a city of white stones, an ancient evil stalks. It has no name, no face, and no desire but to see the death of everything... ...and everyone. Down through the ages it exists, sleepless and void, a relic from the world before humanity. One dead. Every night. Forever. Until nothing remains. The Hecatomb includes four short stories, including previously published horror shorts Let the Bodies and Old Man of Tessera. Each story is set in the same world. It's up to readers to decide the order in which they happen...

Another interesting read by J Edward Neill. Not one, but four short stories connected to a similar premise. Each story builds on the previous from a different perspective. Well written and engaging throughout, the Hecacomb is a sort of dark fairy tale told in a Lovecraftian style.
Old Man of Tessera 5/5
Let the Bodies 4/5
Skeleton Sculptor 4/5
The Circle Macabre 4/5
