Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer Horror portmanteau.

Drawn together by mysterious circumstances, three strangers meet in the mists of a desolate cemetery world. As they relate their stories, the threads of fate are drawn around them, and destiny awaits....

Read it because: It's a classic horror portmanteau comprising three Warhammer 40,000 novellas, each with its own distinct feel - a ghost story, a monster saga and a psychological horror tale - that all draw together through the terrifying linking story.

The story: On a misty cemetery world, three strangers are drawn together through mysterious circumstances. Each of them has a tale to tell of a narrow escape from death. Amid the toll of funerary bells and the creep and click of mortuary-servitors, the truth is confessed. But whose story can be trusted? Whose recollection is warped, even unto themselves?

For these are strange stories of the uncanny, the irrational and the spine-chillingly frightening, where horrors abound and the dark depths of the human psyche is unearthed.

I love 40k but this missed the mark on Horror

These 4 stories were entertaining though the characters were too unlikable to feel invested in their plights. Also the horror they face is too overt. It's easy enough to read between the lines and see what's really going on and for this reason the confusion our characters experience isn't tranfered to the reader and we don't end up with anything scary when it's easily explainable. I think 40k horror should focus on the unknowable horrors of the 40k universe rather than the things that simply kill. The final story touches on this but the character is already a heretic when we start the story so he only further sinks into the arms of Chaos. The fact that all of the characters must be present for the final story kind of takes some of the fear away that they may not make it in their own arcs.

Great Warhammer stories, lacking in horror.

Although fantastic stories, and marvellously read, for the most part the horror aspect is severely lacking.

A fantastic foray into the horrors of the Imperium

Three very well constructed stories, tenuously connected by a narrative device that doesn't quite pay off. Even so, well worth a listen as the individual tales are extremely well crafted and deliciously horrible.
