Hegel and Manfried Grossbart may not consider themselves bad men - but death still stalks them through the dark woods of medieval Europe. The year is 1364, and the brothers Grossbart have embarked on a naïve quest for fortune. Descended from a long line of graverobbers, they are determined to follow their family's footsteps to the fabled crypts of Gyptland. To get there, they will have to brave dangerous and unknown lands and keep company with all manner of desperate travelers-merchants, priests, and scoundrels alike. For theirs is a world both familiar and distant; a world of living saints and livelier demons, of monsters and madmen. The Brothers Grossbart are about to discover that all legends have their truths, and worse fates than death await those who would take the red road of villainy.

The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart is gory, violent, and filled with more than enough profanity to give my grandmothers simultaneous heart attacks. The very first page is a snippet of conversation analyzing the word “fuck” and it only gets better from there—or worse, depending on your prospecti...
I bought this book at full price (*gasp!*) last year at Barnes and Noble while I was waiting for a movie to start in a theater next door - I think it was Insidious, but I could be wrong.I grabbed this book because the cover art was amazing - I would like to give credit where credit is do and say tha...
I have to start off with saying I do love the cover of this book. I thought it was cool being two pictures in one here.The writing was a little hard for me to get ahold of at the beginning of the book, but not long into the book I adjusted well. There are different point of views given in the book, ...
