Pilgrim

A Medieval Horror

By: Mitchell Lüthi

Narrated by: Alan Turton

Set in 12th-century Jerusalem, Pilgrim follows the treacherous journey of a German knight and his companions as they return home after seven arduous years battling for God in the Holy Land. Within this sprawling tale lies a tapestry of medieval horror, intertwining history and folklore, encompassing both a metaphysical and literal odyssey.

Inspired by a rich blend of Arabic, Christian, and pre-Islamic traditions, Pilgrim delivers a pulse-pounding story of action, adventure, and bone-chilling horror.

An instant medieval horror classic

The narration is well above average, and does a lot to help give the listener a better understanding of the characters.

The story is amazing to the lovers of the medieval horror genre and is now tied with Between Two Fires for my personal favorite book. Most of the characters are well developed, in truth I would give the story a 4.5 stars instead of 5 if I was able to because, there are characters who are mostly ineffectual to the story and some are kinda 1 dimensional and it seems that when the author doesn’t really know what to do with the weaker written characters he just makes them go away. If you are not that into real history, especially the crusades, then the first 3ish hours of the book will be a drag as the author takes his time setting up the plot by using and explaining actual crusader politics. If you like history and middle eastern religious lore, then you’ll love the book all the way through.

My favorite thing about the book is how much knowledge and work the author put in to making real life legends fit into each encounter and the overall plot. I found myself looking up and researching every unfamiliar name and location I heard in the story and I learned far more about the location and religious stories these things are based on.

Incredible read!

Great feel

This was a great ride. Steady tempo leading you deeper and deeper into madness and then out again

Enjoyed it, but hard to explain why.

Narrator was great, the story was good, and liked the themes of philosophy and theology and the unknown.

Great writing and narration

The writing itself was just a pleasure to listen to and the narrator was perfect.

Strange but enthralling

I was especially impressed with all the conspiratorial and accepted theology in creating the other planes. The characters are ones you pity, empathize, detest, and forgive after it all. Love the mules!
