This Mortal Coil (Horror Anthology) Reviews

This Mortal Coil (Horror Anthology)





In our youth we grow comfortable standing on the terra firma of life, not realizing how infirma that terra really is. Life is a fragile thing given to each of us in different measures. Some of us have the courage to look off the precipice, so to speak, and wonder what lies beyond this mortality we know so well and gaze, if only briefly, into that “undiscovered country” we will all traverse one day. Others cling to what they feel is certainty, try to cheat death and hold on to life. Here are tales that grapple with life, even while they shuffle up the mortal coil as they do so. Each one speaks eloquently for itself.

Unit 13: The Horrors of Altenschatten





.While a World War rages in the trenches of Northern France, Sergeant T.S. Crake leads Unit 13, a secret elite military force, deep behind enemy lines. The diverse force follows the rumors and vague reports of diabolical medical experiments back to a small occupied village where the Germans have created something monstrous - an unexpected weapon that will fundamentally change the very nature of modern warfare. When one of their own is captured during their escape, Sgt. Crake must decide whether to risk the rest of the Unit in a daring rescue. Reuniting with the Unit's support team, they are joined by two new powerful allies and the question becomes that much more pressing. Do they return to their temporary base in England or do they follow their friend's trail into the very heart of darkness? Crake ultimately decides he cannot leave a comrade to suffer at the hands of madmen and will risk everything to save his friend. Their journey takes them halfway across Europe to the German's main medical facility - hidden in the ancient Altenschatten Castle. Will they survive the treacherous road into the lion's den? And what will they find when they get there? What horrors are lurking in the shadows of Altenschatten?
