This story is told from the perspective of Derfel, a young soldier and loyal follower and friend of Arthur. There are many intriguing and complex characters that are woven into the tale. The battles are quite grisly, and things can be quite brutal at times, but I guess it would have been living and fighting through the dark ages.
As a Lord of the Rings fan, this is my next favourite ‘fantasy’ trilogy. If you liked ‘The Vikings’ or ‘The Last Kingdoms’ series on TV, I would highly recommend that you give this trilogy a read.

Ellison, played by Ethan Hawke, is a true crime writer looking to write the next big hit book and moves his family into a house where a murder took place... and that is about all I'm going to say about the story.
It takes a lot to creep me out, and give me the jitters but this one did, genuinely on the edge of my seat not knowing when the next time I would be shocked, holding my breath awaiting the next moment...
The story might be standard horror movie fare, but the frights are paced perfectly to give you the high points at the right times...
If you are disappointed with normal horror films lack of horror, give this one a try.
