Featuring: Mario Carić, D.L. Foshee, G.W. LeCroy, Bryn Hammond, S.E. Lindberg, Lee Patton, Michael A. Stackpole, and Jacob Gillam.

Every pocket-sized issue of Mordschlag contains a fistful of new short fiction, an article analyzing the genre, and monster stat-blocks pulled straight from the tales and ready-to-play in ShadowDark RPG.

When her mother is claimed by Death a second time, Kateryna is forced to abandon her afterlife and descend into Pandemonium—a shattered underworld shaped by pain, memory, and buried sin. To save her mother’s soul, she must join forces with her estranged father, whose devotion to a fallen goddess set this all in motion. Hunted by Morgana, the Goddess Corrupted and her chosen griffin-riders, Kateryna must journey through the shadows and confront the reality of her own dark past—because in Pandemonium, death is only the beginning.
