This book reprints 11 short stories taken from 3 other anthologies previously published by Warhammer back in 1989-90. I would recommend picking this up though based on the two outstanding stories that I mentioned. The rest of the stories ranged from bad to mediocre to average and all of them were unremarkable. A great story and this combined with the previous story that I described were the high points of the book. This was an awesome story that had all the ingredients of traditional fantasy, a young and bored apprentice looking for adventure, a powerful wizard, neat magic spells, and a journey through a dangerous dungeon filled with traps and monsters in a quest for treasure. My other favorite story just happened to be the one right after "The Song" called "Apprentice Luck". This was a very funny story about a halfling detective and the trouble he gets into one night in a tavern while gambling with a sly elf, and is written in an appealing light hearted style that I found to be superb and a pleasure to read. Now I'll skip ahead to the two best and most entertaining stories in the book that I really enjoyed, the first was The Song. This was a decent story, but nothing exceptional. The next story, The Reavers and the Dead, was much more of a classic fantasy type story about a young man who wants to be necromancer and what happens when his poor fishing village is attacked by blood thirsty pirates and the revenge he wants and opportunity he sees from this event. I didn't enjoy reading it, and was mainly grossed out by the story's graphic imagery. The first story, Laughter of the Dark Gods, which is also the title of the book, was kind of disturbing and gruesome. I'm not going to go through and review every story like the previous reviewer, just give some highlights and my opinions on some of the stories. I recently became interested in the WarHammer fantasy setting, and as a fan of short stories this was a book I naturally bought as one of my first Warhammer books.

Thunder rumbled like the laughter of dark gods. The best on this anthology and in my opinion the best from all the first three anthologies. I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the stories there’s nothing that really shines here. However the background is extremely generic so these sit alone as straightforward reads.

I'd say that this story, along with the fantastic cover art by Clint Langley which appears to depict the story's main character, are almost worth the price of the book on their own! This is immediately followed by another strong entry. This is quite an excellent tale of one man's descent into the dark life of a Chaos warrior. The book starts off with a bang with the story from which this book takes its title, "The Laughter of Dark Gods" by William King.
