The Barrow

by Smylie, Mark

Description

The Barrow was a 2014 release of pure, unadulterated grimdark with a cast of antiheroes. Vicious, action-packed, brutal with more bad language throne in than Eminem song. And did I mention there's almost a porn-level of graphic sex tossed in as well.But there's some real thrills in this book about a group of characters from different walks of life who band together out of necessity and embark on a quest to rob an evil wizards grave. Of course, shit goes awesomely wrong for all involved.Some good stuff found in this book. Read if you want over the top...everything.
