Book Review: The Colonel's Monograph (Graham McNeill) Black Library

So I am on a roll reading these Warhammer Horror Stories.
This one is also told in first person perspective. In it we follow Sullo a archivist as she is trying to live after retiring. the son of a very famous Grayloc asks us if she would like to catalog her library and she promptly agrees.

There are some really interesting passages where she is describing about the books the Colonel had (including some interesting nods). Inbetween we follow Sullo as she goes in the nearby city trying to learn more about her benefactor and story of her fall.

I am not going to dwell much on the plot but I enjoy the little snippets in the bottom of the page, put by some inquisitor and warnings. It was a slow building dread as we uncover more and more about the history of the books.

Really enjoy learning more about the world, the wars they were in.

The last dozen pages it's more action filled scenes and we learn more about all that unfold (and the demon within). A spooky tale, more akin to some gothic tale.
