Publisher's summary

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.

Solid

Alan really killed this performance and a lot of my enjoyment of the book came because of his narration. There are only so many voices one can do, but he makes four very distinct ones, with a few others that are a little muddy but serviceable, and it does a number in keeping characters and everything straight.

The overall novel is fine, but overly long in the teeth by just about every stretch. There were moments where this was a great bit of writing. Frankly, quite a few moments, vignettes or short stories in their own right of the macabre dangers at the hands of another realm our heroes must traverse.

But then the novel went on for another 30 chapters and it felt like the author himself ran out of steam or desire and just had the remaining party trudge forward to the end. There wasn't much of a conclusion, which isn't exactly expected in a horror novel, but great horror still has effective endings.

Still, Mitchell is a relatively new novelist and I will watch his name going forward.

A Medieval Horror Masterpiece

Lüthi's debut novel is a vast and impressive entry into the emerging 'medieval horror' genre: richly detailed, eerie, cerebral, and unexpectedly heart-wrenching at times. Alan Turton truly shines here: his warm, expressive baritone and versatility is a perfect match for this modern epic.
