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.

The story was fine, as you'd expect to come from Warhammer Horror, gruesome details and daemonic powers, especially given Drachenfels nature.

Loved the narrator and her voice acting, however I felt her dwarf voices were quite the ways off though. Not nearly as hardy enough or Northern enough.

Highly enjoyable, excellent narrator.

A fantastic horror story that builds to a crescendo, great characters, and I enjoyed the audio version just as much as having read the novel around three times since it's release.

Not a typical how done it but not far off. I like the way vampires are portrayed in the world that was. Just another species of human that have the right to live as much as any other abhuman. Genevieve is a special character and I look forward to her other books

An introduction to an interesting character

The only con is that the book is oriented somewhere between mystery and horror but does not quite fall in any category. The plot is good, the acting is also fine and for any Warhammer fun it is a must read

Enjoyable, action/mystery/horror

I'd never read this book when it first came out. I was surprised how much of the lore was already in place back then. It was very enjoyable adventure cheese. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of the setting.
