About this listen
A Warhammer Horror novel.
Dark and terrible secrets may be found lurking within the cities of the Old World and the savage wilderness that surrounds them. Genevieve Dieudonné, vampire heroine of Drachenfels, battles to outwit adversaries both magical and mundane, human and beast, in this series of three linked novellas: Stage Blood, The Cold Stark House and Unicorn Ivory.
Listen to it because:
One of the masters of modern horror fiction turns his hand to a trio of terrifying tales set in the world-that-was. If you enjoyed Drachenfels and want to see more of the vampire heroine Genevieve, this is your next stop.
Description:
There are many secrets in the dark places of the Old World. From the cities of the Empire, where men huddle together in defiance of the darkness that sweeps across the land, to the vast, savage forests that house all manner of terrible beasts, everywhere you look there is a dark tale or ancient legend waiting to be unearthed. For the vampire Genevieve Dieudonné, several of these ancient horrors and blood-soaked nightmares are about to come to light, as she is plunged into battles for her life and her very soul across three linked novellas.
Embarking on an odyssey of self-discovery, she must face monsters and magicians, intrigue and evil. Her journey takes her from the depths of an old theater to an accursed mansion under a deadly Gothic spell, and finally to the hunt of a savage unicorn mare through haunted forests.
Written by Kim Newman.
Narrated by Antonia Beamish.

Book 1 is great ,Book 2 is meh, Book 3 is good
So this is a collection of 3 stories written by Kim Newman, who wrote the last Genevieve book as well and like with Drachanfels she knocked the first book out of the park.
Well written, very similar feel to her previous work and she is much improved on writing supporting characters.
The second 2 is where it begins to go off the rails with most character interactions having some sexual aspect to them rather than the survival, political, etc motivations of her earlier work.
This follows on in the third book, which pains me to say because the plot was great, the pacing was spot on and the contrasting characters were awesome.
TW
In the last 10 minutes of the 3rd book, she assaults, rapes and then kills a man.
I'm not sure if Newman is trying to show Genevieve's descent into the darkness but it made me feel sick.
I don't want to throw away the whole book for the sake of a bad scene but if this isn't your thing, you might want to skip it.
Antonia Beamish is working on her voices and is making strides but they feel like caricatures now, as if she's overcorrecting for them not sounding different enough before.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
