Forgotten

Black Library Advent Calendar 2014 #23

by Dan Abnett

As they travel between warzones, veterans of the Tanith First and Only gather to tell tales and remember victories past. When it comes to Scout Sergeant Mkoll, his story, reluctantly told, is of a mist-shrouded battlefield in the night and a dangerous presence that lurked in the darkness, preying on the soldiers of the regiment. But just what horror could haunt the Ghosts?

Read it because
Scout-Sergeant Mkoll of the Tanith First and Only recounts a tale of a deadly and dangerous foe. But what manner of enemy could out-stealth the famed Tanith recon specialist?

On the twenty-third day of Christmas, Black Library gave to us…a Gaunt’s Ghosts short story by Dan Abnett. A Gaunt’s Ghosts ghost story, in fact, called Forgotten. As the story unfolds, several of the Ghosts are gathered around a fire in a quiet storeroom somewhere within the Ser Armaduke, telling each other ghost stories. At Gaunt’s prompting, Mkoll begrudgingly tells his tale, of a fiend who moves in the darkness and strikes unseen, forgotten by death but stalked in turn by Mkoll.

" The fiend, he was in the darkness, in all of it. He moved, and the night moved with him, to hide him as if it was ashamed of him and didn’t want the light to see him."
One of best short stories I've read in a while.
