Summary

A Warhammer Horror novel.

Seven families arrive at an ancient castle, expecting a grand feast - but each guest brings the weight of their own expectations, not to mention hidden agendas and a thirst for revenge that will push them into darkness as evil approaches.

Listen to it because: Experience a Warhammer Horror take on a classic setup - people gathering for a meal, each of them carrying their own secrets. It's sure to terrify and delight you in equal measure.

The story: Guests are arriving at the ancient castle of Mhurghast, summoned by the reclusive Count von Koeterberg. They expect a grand feast, and something more. The ambitious Baron expects to inherit the Count's wealth; the wife of a broken swordsmith hopes to revisit happier times; the fallen priest prays for a chance of recovering his faith.

Seven families, each with their own dark secrets. Each with their own hidden agenda. Each marked for revenge. Doomed to discover the depths of horror and despair, it is not a night of revelry that awaits them, but a night of unprecedented terror. Son will turn against father and daughter against mother, as daemonic evil descends upon Mhurghast.

Written by C L Werner. Running time 7 hours and 1 minute. Narrated by Claire Wyatt.

A reasonably decent story ruined by awful narration.

The story is an interesting set up, but so difficult to engage with. Cartoonish accents. Grating narration. Particularly disappointing given the narrators voice is actually quite clear, could have been a much better book.
Definetly listen to the sample before buying.

Really enjoyed this tale

Good story, hope mhurghast is tied in with the other horrors. Good survival horror really got into it. Some aos stories can be a slog and feeo like they could have about a 1/3 of the story cut out not this.

Another great Warhammer horror

Interesting and fleshed out characters and some good tension throughout. The ending is a bit predictable though if only because it's a horror novel, Voice performance was very good which is the norm for GW's audiobook range. If you feel like the current Warhammer isn't Grimdark enough for you I would suggest giving this and the other Warhammer horror books a read.

Good listen if you want some filler

This is a reasonable listen. The performance is great but the story is a formulaic slasher story with a warhammer twist. The characters are engaging enough and the story makes sense. It isn't anything special but that doesn't make it bad.

Ending left me feeling annoyed

Let me say that for the vast majority of this book I was completely engaged in the story, it flowed well even if predictable and the narration was outstanding but I felt the ending a bit bland and way too predictable

An Enjoyable Read!

Castle of Blood is a fun Gothic / Slasher addition to the Warhammer Horror range. It deepens the mysteries of Mhurghast and is an enjoyable throwback to 70's Horror movies and certainly read as such. The story itself was not mind-blowing however C. L. Werner's prose is, as always, a delight to read and listen to!

Thrilling and dark

I always have low expectations of these but this one surprised me. It was very thrilling and exiting. Dark and bloody, moody and timeless.

Would recommend this to people who enjoy dark and grimy stories. No pre knowledge of Warhammer is necessary to enjoy this experience.

The production of the audio was great and the reading was good.
