A fun short introduction

This 40 page novella is a good, fun introduction to the world of the Darkslayer, similar to a Witcher: a man who wanders the wilds slaying evil creatures for payment. Here we are introduced to Venir (and briefly his companion Melegal), a hard-drinking brute of a man who we find is known as the Darkslayer. He ventures out from the city of Bone into the wilds, partly to earn his keep slaying the wild Underlings (nasty little wild creatures who kill children and keep giant spiders as pets); partly to escape the morning-after realisation of who he slept with.
Not exactly high-brow literature, but a well told, axe-swinging, action-packed tale of one man against the wilds.
As with other series, this introduction was written some time after/during the main series and intended as a nice little introduction. I am expecting to meet some of the characters again as I continue with the main series.

Kudos

Outside and Inside

Cube Zero- is good movie, better than the second one, the second one is good and twisted but you have to watch it multiplte times to fully understand. This one and the first one you probley only have to watch it once to fully understand it, but overall this trilogy is twisted and insane. So the multiplte viewings is a must, cause its soo good.

The Plot: A monitor (Zachary Bennett) decides to help a captive (Stephanie Moore) escape from a structure in which trapped occupants meet ghastly deaths.

While the first two films take place almost entirely within the maze, Cube Zero is set in both the interior and exterior of the cube. The film also reverts to the industrial-designed, colored rooms of the first film, but with a refreshed and redesigned set.

Its a good movie and overall a great trilogy and overall a good horror franchsie. If you havent seen this franchise, i highly reccordmend it.
