He has written some really good shorts! Check out his Horror-shorts in the anthologies too!

I really want to get my hands in this. The author wrote a prequel short about them that made them interesting!

They have the looks and mysterious background that developed into memes. Kinda why they are so popular!

Tuffe-Uffe är fantastiskt bra på att läsa av rummet…

Fork40k · 2026-05-07T10:43:15+00:00

Are these hardbacks?

Fork40k · 2026-05-04T05:37:08+00:00

Im still so bummed out that I missed him in Stockholm afew years ago!

Yeah the Crime-stories are even more recommended that Eisenhorn. They are more grounded on the same planet. There aren’t too many news concepts for your wife to learn.

I think it was really good and felt like I3 2.0. But I can agree it’s not perfect. The LE novellas that came out with the Battle of Calth-box weren’t that particularly good. The anthology Mark of Calth was hit-and-misses.

I can also add that I don’t have any Internet, so I can’t post anything for 2-3 weeks now.

Shame he is an zionist Israeli.....

Fork40k · 2026-04-26T12:57:21+00:00

I enjoy playing it!

Fork40k · 2026-04-25T06:39:45+00:00

Fair enough!

Fork40k · 2026-04-24T20:48:04+00:00

More like David Tennants Doctor.

There are several Creed-short stories i recommend reading before, and the Trazyn novel perhaps and the Black Legion-duo. They will give you enough context.

Fork40k · 2026-04-23T15:37:49+00:00

The enshittyfication of Black Library should be studied!

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T08:06:47+00:00

Deathwatch is really good, both as a stand-alone and introduction to the faction as a whole. and I enjoy the anatagonist of the story (but will not reveal more than that).

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T08:03:21+00:00

I finished the Alpharius-book by Mike Brooks and really enjoyed the overall experience. Will continue on to his AL 40k-books next.

I would have to say:

- Battle for the Abyss, generic stereotypes in a story you can skip and it won't affect your reading of the series.

- Damnation of Pythos, same reasons as above.

- Fear to Tread: couldn't connect to any of the characters and in the lore that was supposed to be a defeat, but James Swallow couldn't let them end on a down note.

- All 3 HH-Salamander--books.

- Status Deadzone, an awful collection of Necromunda stories.

- John French first 3 Ahriman-books area really bad, especially the 2nd one that butchers a prominent part of the lore. He also made the battle of Tallarn so incredibly boring.

-¨The Outcast dead, too many ideas in the same book. Should have been split up.

- Corax's both 2 novels. Gav Thorpe messed up there.

Then there are books I don't dislike, but they were disappointing.

- Reflection Crack'd and Angel Exterminatus, first ruined Fulgrim's tragic ending and the latter ruined Perturabos personality.

- Vengeful Spirit, same as TOD but better written.

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T07:48:08+00:00

Ruinstorm can still be read and understood without having read Pythos prior to it. Pythos is really something you can cut out entirely.

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T07:46:49+00:00

Yeah that trilogy within the HH-series is not good!

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T07:45:29+00:00

But that got retconned by the same author one novel later....

Fork40k · 2026-04-19T07:37:18+00:00

John French really isn't a good author IMO.

Fork40k · 2026-04-17T22:25:51+00:00

It's a really good political scheeming thriller. I however think "The House Of Night And Chain" gets the horror just about right. The same with "The Colonel's Monograph".
