Genevieve Undead

Warhammer Horror

De: Kim Newman

Narrado por: Antonia Beamish

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.

More of an Anthology

The first story of the book led me to believe that this would be a good follow up to Drachenfels, and indeed it does give a good bit of epilogue to that story. After the first third however, it becomes more of an anthology of loosely connected stories with our resident vampire as the string holding it all together. Though this starts out well enough, it runs out of steam rather quickly and made the grind to the finish rather difficult. Still, you have the classic Warhammer weirdness, so it's not entirely without charm or merit.

another good book

it was a good book about three stories the 1st was my favorite story

Fun Warhammer Fantasy

I would not call this Warhammer Horror. it has some horror character tropes, but really this is a gun Jaunt through the Old World and feels more akin to the era when WHFB had more RPG influences than tabletop. A great sequel to Drachenfels, with many fun and interesting characters.
