Inferno! #1 by various authors. A collection of Short Stories set in the World of Warhammer, written well and will appeal to fans of the series. Simply not for me, Thank you for giving me a chance with this series.

A cracking collection of stories that deliver the goods page after page. Insane action, hectic storytelling, and enthralling characterisation makes Inferno a must read!

In the link below you can find my review in full. But it needs to be said here that this was a great time filler for me. The stories read easy enough and I had a lot of fun going through them. If you are a fan, this will be for you. I want to thank both Black Library and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.

A copy of this book was received from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Inferno is a collection of eleven stories of varying lengths from various worlds – it truly has something for every Warhammer reader. My favorite story was ‘A Common Ground’ by Mike Brooks, a Necromunda story with nice depth of setting for its length and characterization that captured my attention from the first line. I also very much enjoyed ‘The Firstborn Daughter’ by Filip Wiltgren, an Astra Militarum story that featured a very memorable main character (that I totally hope to see again!) and a handful of evocative flashbacks. All the stories, however, held their own and kept me reading.

Frequent readers of Warhammer stories should be aware that this collection contains several stories that are also available for purchase as individual stories. I did initially find this annoying, especially as I already owned one of the stories, but after checking publication dates discovered the anthology was published before all but two of the stories. Another element that potential readers should be aware of is that the final story in the anthology, entitled ‘At the Sign of the Brazen Claw’, by Guy Haley, is actually the first installment in a serial. It does have some sense of closure to it, so one could potentially read it and never read another in the serial, but it seems that parts of the story are released in each Inferno anthology, and readers who wish to read the complete story will need to pick up each book in the series.

Overall, I found Inferno volume 1 an intriguing, multifaceted romp through the various Black Library worlds, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to readers who enjoy short stories and aren’t too stuck in one particular Warhammer age or another. I for one have already ordered the second in the series, and can’t wait to see what lies in store!
