Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Gothic horror set during the Black Death. It's like mediaeval post-apoclypse as Lucifer uses the plague as an opening salvo to besiege Heaven and Earth. Fair warning, it can veer into pulp horror sometimes.
A young girl becomes a schizo and sees angels and demons everywhere. As a suicidal knight and despairing priest follow her they're confronted with the increasingly hostile and supernatural as demons roam the land in the wake of the plague. The writing is fine so far and the plot is easy to get into. It's not imo serious horror at times, more like a pulp gothic novel if that makes sense? There's a subplot about for a bit about dipshit guard forcing people naked so they can make sure they aren't Jews lmao
I really liked The Lesser Dead by him and decided to read a couple of his other books and really liked them, Those Across The River then Between Two Fires and thought they were really good. I tried Blacktongue Thief, but put it down, I couldn't get into it.
