《Bloodborne》19 - Horror in the town square
Advertisement
This blood ministration he’d had not only healed him, it had given him superhuman strength and a miraculous ability to heal and come back to life. He was still unable to grasp the extent of his ability. He decided to continue on his way and watch out for that mob he had just witnessed from above. He went up the street and observed the deserted houses and what used to be Inns and shops left and right. Then he saw them. Crucifixes were fixed on the ground on each side of the serpentine street. These crucifixes were on fire and seemed to hold something that had been long dead. On closer inspection, Surgit observed with horror all the corpses of what looked like men-beasts. These people had bandages on their eyes wore only undergarments to hide their private parts. They were fully transformed into beasts at that point. Only their humanoid body remained. Fur had covered their skin and their open mouths showed canine teeth. They were bound to the crucifixes by nails and chains.
He could see a light emanating from a window on his left, and a lantern similar to the one he’d seen on Gilbert’s window hanging at the entrance door of the house. He approached the door and knocked. A man’s voice could be heard on the other side: “Who would open his door to an outsider like you? Be gone from here.” This was definitely a Yharnamite. All tales about them being unfriendly was true. Surgit had gotten used to people treating him in that fashion. Though irritated, he decided to carry on. The thought of the patrol still haunted his mind. And all the corpses on fire made him feel uneasy and hunted. He needed to get out of this street and fast.
He reached what seemed to be the end of the street. He could see more carriages parked on each end of it. The street turned left and Surgit, following the road found himself facing a harrowing image. He was standing in what appeared to be the town square. Stagecoaches were parked on the side of the road and in the middle of the square stood an enormous crucifix. A huge werewolf was tied to the crucifix and was being burned. It looked like a witch execution but with werewolves instead of women. Around the crucifix stood around twenty men, all of them were armed. None of them had noticed Surgit. They were all looking at the beast burning. Surgit could see that beyond the crucifix there was a closed door. Something terrible was banging at it. On top of the door, a long bridge seemed to take carts and cars to the other side of the city. “That’s where I need to go” he whispered to himself. He started walking slowly backwards and thinking of a way out of the place. He could see two railings surrounding the square. Both of them took to the other side of the big barricaded door. “Click!” with the corner of his eye, Surgit saw a man behind him pointing a gun at his head.

This story answers the question, Is Larin all right? with a resounding yes, and some storms on the horizon.It also raises the question, What happened to her down there? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Falling Down, about Larin's ordeal in the Nine Hells. Praise for Waking Up and Falling Down: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great!The difference between Waking Up and Falling Down is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing.The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact.And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well.-- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face. The first is the goblin, the small green humanoids that often cause problems out on the frontier. The second is the slime, the sneaky ambush predator that likes to drop down from the ceiling and seems to be just about everywhere. And then, there's the giant rat, the plague of the sewer and the tavern cellar. But they're nothing but a petty annoyance, right? Right? Wrong. Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive. But not if The Ratter has anything to say about it.

Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
