Beyond Night by Eric S. BrownMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review: BEYOND NIGHT by Eric S. Brown and Steven Shrewsbury
An epic horror-thriller-historic-fantasy (defying facile categorization), BEYOND NIGHT is a Lovecraftian horror all its own, with a fantastically inclusive metaphysics and living mythology, goddesses resurrected, centuries-old wizards, horrid beasts, and terrors from "beyond night." All this is set in ancient Caledonia [Scotland], where the Roman Emperor is determined to expand his already extensive Empire, wiping out the "primitives" [Picts], controlling an ever-expanding geography. Even the might of the Roman 9th Legion might not be able to withstand the terrors arrayed against their forces, nor the terrors summoned from "beyond night."
