Greetings, travelers! We’re back this week with a couple of great stories, and we’re starting things off by going dark. If you’ve been looking for a story that isn’t afraid to put its character through the wringer, and to end up a bloody mess by the end of it, today’s story is one that’s right up your alley. Read on to learn more about Gore, by Kane Szoke.
Kane Szoke delivers a stunning debut in his dark fantasy, Gore. From the very first pages, readers will be able to tell they’re in for a ride. It’s destined to be a bumpy one, too, because Szoke ensures that the road ahead is filled with all sorts of obstacles. The story doesn’t just roil in mud and blood, however. There’s a dark and sinister poetry to the author’s prose, as he paints with dusky shades to turn his canvas into something that fantasy fans will revel in throughout the adventure. It’s gritty, yes, but it’s enthralling, as Szoke is able to so vividly describe a scene, and to get into the head of his characters. It’s certainly the sort of story that grabs hold of its reader, and doesn’t relinquish that fierce grasp.
In a dystopian world teetering on the edge of darkness, where malevolent, demonic forces lurk in the shadows… only one man driven by his tragic past and an unquenchable thirst for redemption can stand against the oppressive tides of chaos.
Born into this God-forsaken medieval world in a pool of his dying mother’s blood and armed with only his exceptional fighting skills honed by years of survival in a harsh, unforgiving landscape – and an enormous black mace, the fierce warrior known as Gore faces a seemingly impossible task. He must confront the evil and powerful demon Goredus, and his army of minions and half-dead rotting corpses… alone.
Driven by a relentless determination to uncover the truth and protect those he holds dear; Gore must overcome his own inner demons and the darkness that threatens to consume him. In a world where nothing is as it seems and danger lurks around every corner, Gore must rely on his wit, his superhuman strength, and his indomitable spirit to emerge victorious against all odds.
As the mysteries of his past unravel and the true nature of his enemies is revealed, Gore finds himself on a collision course with destiny. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Gore must make a choice that will determine the ultimate outcome of his perilous journey—and the course of history itself.
Gore, Volume 1 is the fast-paced, immersive first volume of the delightfully dark and gritty YA fantasy series Gore, which entices readers of all ages with an engrossing story rich in detail and steeped in mystery. From haunted forests to desolate wastelands, each disturbing landscape adds depth to the story and enhances the sense of Gore’s peril.
Are you ready to enter the realm of darkness and uncover the terrifying secrets that lie within?

Before they know it, any readers will soon be reaching the end of the story, still hungry for more. Though Gore’s introductory story moves quick enough to give whiplash to eager fans, there’s hope still shining in the darkness—good news for anyone that want more.
