Text extracts:

Describing the Dire Maggot (from Vol 2): In that country, where Death holds sway over all, one sees Life emerge in weird and dreadful ways; there are great bronze-backed flies which lay their eggs in charnel houses, and their worm-children grow fat, first on human flesh and then on their fellows, until they seem great fat snakes or that legendary fish (not found in this world) called lamprey…

Describing the Necronaut (also from Vol 2): The Third Battle of Nevasham Gorge was the turning point of the battles of that summer. The Third Corps had feinted at the Road of Bones and drawn an army into the hills after them, which they proceeded to destroy from their redoubts and positions of strength; but there position was broken when the Enemy summoned forth a great war-engine, unlike any seen up to that time; like all his engines composed principally of dead men's bones, and capable of binding all who fell before it (whether valiant foe or craven slave of the Enemy) to its own obscene will. Rending the wall of the redoubt in two places, it gapped the defences and forced the Third Corps to retreat, ending all advance into the enemy's territory for that year and much of the year after.
