Ask LuvemBooks about Lindsey Priestley

Lindsey Priestley is a senior editor on Games Workshop's Black Library fiction line rather than a conventional author, and the single book we've reviewed, Tales of Heresy, shows what that role looks like in practice: seven short stories by series regulars like Dan Abnett and Graham McNeill, curated into one anthology as the Great Crusade draws to its close. That anthology holds a 4.7/5 reader rating from 136 Amazon ratings, a strong aggregate for the tenth entry in the Horus Heresy series.
Where should I start?
Tales of Heresy is the only Lindsey Priestley book we've reviewed, so it's the natural starting point. As an anthology of seven short stories, it offers a varied sampler of Horus Heresy authors — Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill, James Swallow, Mike Lee, and more — rather than a single long narrative. It holds a 4.7/5 reader rating from 136 Amazon ratings.
What's their writing style?
Lindsey Priestley's contribution to the book we've reviewed is editorial rather than authorial — as senior editor on the Black Library line, Priestley co-edited Tales of Heresy with Nick Kyme. The result is an anthology approach: seven short stories from multiple established series writers, assembled to illuminate corners of the Horus Heresy universe that full novels don't reach. It's a curator's sensibility rather than a single-voice narrative.

What does an anthology editor do?
In Tales of Heresy, Lindsey Priestley and co-editor Nick Kyme assembled seven short stories from established Horus Heresy writers — Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill, James Swallow, Mike Lee, and more — into a single collection. Rather than writing the stories themselves, the editors shaped an anthology that illuminates corners of the Heresy universe full novels don't reach.
