About this listen
A Warhammer Horror novel.
Many years ago, the Great Enchanter Drachenfels was defeated by brave adventurers. Now, playwright Detlef Sierck plans a production showing these events - at the site of the necromancer's death. But the dead do not rest easy.
It's the original Warhammer Horror novel. Hailing from the late 1980s, it depicts an early version of the Warhammer world and is packed with spine-chilling moments and memorable characters - there's a reason it's still a dearly loved title 30 years after its original release!
Detlef Sierck, the self-proclaimed greatest playwright in the world, has declared that his next production will be a re-creation of the end of the Great Enchanter Drachenfels - to be staged at the very site of his death, the Fortress of Drachenfels itself. But the castle's dark walls still hide a terrible secret which may make the opening night an evening to remember!
A classic Warhammer novel - 30 years old this year - returns in a brand-new edition under the Warhammer Horror imprint.
It includes a new introduction by the author, the horror legend Kim Newman, whose real name is appearing on the cover for the very first time. Written by Kim Newman, writing as Jack Yeovil.
Narrated by Antonia Beamish.

Kim Newman, Kicking butt in the Old World
In a world where good Warhammer Fantasy stories are lacking after the cancer that was the End Times and Age of Sigmar, Kim Newman breathes fresh life into the Old World.
She has a great handle on the lore as well as being a very competent writer.
The only criticism that I'd level at her is how many supporting characters didn't have much substance to them, though in a story with such a large cast this is understandable.
I'll be following her work from now on.
I had very few issues with how Antonia Bleamish brought the characters to life well enough though her strength lay more in the setting and ambience than the characters.

The Old World at it’s best
This is a wonderful story, with deep anti heroes and Floored villains, a colorful setting and good pacing. This is a look back at the lore of the Warhammer Old World, now gone.

Great story. Miscast story teller
Can't help but think the story teller is not really suited to horror. That aside it us a great story. I still recommend it

Horror?
This story isn't bad and it isn't great either;
To put it into the horror section is akin to calling Twilight a horror story.
If you want a decent horror have a look at some of Black Library's other horror titles and avoid this writer for their what seems inability to convey despair and terror.
