40K: Black Library Advent Roundup – Iron, Blood, Shadows, And Skulls

There’s a theme to the first wave of Black Library Advent Stories. And right now you can grab nine of them (and subscribe to the other 15)–so whether you’re looking for a short story or an audio drama, the Black Library has you covered.

And that theme is Blood and Iron and Skulls and Shadow–which, given one of these appears so often on the covers for these stories makes it more of a leitmotif, but hey, who’s counting, aside from the literary critics out there. But we’re talking Black Library advent stories right now, so if you’re looking for a bildungsroman, you’re about ten years too late to put in an appearance on Frasier but I hear they have conventions you could look into. If you’re looking for tales of adventure and excitement in the Grim Darkness of the Distant Future or the Mortal Realms, however, scroll on friends.
