LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Test your will with three tales of terror set in the grim darkness of the far future. Each offers a different lens through which to view the horror of life in this frightful galaxy.

THE STORIES

The House of Night and Chain

In a bleak corner of the city of Valgaast, the House of Malveil awaits. A place of darkness, its halls throb with a sinister history. Its rooms are filled with malice. Its walls echo with pain. Now it stirs eagerly with the approach of an old heir – Colonel Maeson Strock of the Astra Militarum, who has returned home to his ancestral mansion. He is a man broken by the horrors of war and personal loss, and he has come home to take up the mantle of Planetary Governor. He hopes to purge his home world of political corruption, reforge connections with his estranged children, and rebuild his life. Strock believes he has seen the worst of the galaxy’s horrors. Malveil will show him how wrong he is.

Written by David Annandale. Narrated by Dugald Bruce-Lockhart. Runtime 7 hours 51 minutes approx.

The Deacon of Wounds

The planet of Theotokos is dying. Drought has wiped out all but the capital city of Magerit. Worse, an outbreak of a terrible plague known as the Grey Tears ravages its populace. Only the charismatic Arch-Deacon Ambrose stands in the way of desperation and anarchy. But as the plague rampages through the streets, murdering its victims with unnatural symptoms, Ambrose struggles to confront the appalling measures he must take to save his people.

Written by David Annandale. Narrated by Christopher Kent. Runtime 5 hours 41 minutes approx.

The Reverie

Exalting war and art in harmony, the warrior artisans of the Angels Resplendent have forged a radiant haven amidst a blighted galaxy. But an ancient sin stains their honour – a wound in their world that will never heal. Ignorant souls would call it a forest, but those who watch over it know better. Three travellers are drawn into the conspiracy that wards the wound – a knight haunted by his lost humanity, an ageing poet who refuses to go gently into the night, and a scholar who yearns to redeem mankind. All must face their shadows in the Reverie, but only one shall gaze upon its heart, where a deeper darkness beats.

The last story.

The house of night and chain and the deacon of wounds are wonderful; however, the reverie is not much.

Maybe knowing too much lore ruins the horror

First book has parallels to the shining, second is like a biblical tale 3rd one didn’t really hold my interest. The voice actor doesn’t really differentiate his voice between the various characters so it can be a little hard to distinguish who is speaking when

All tine worst books in a long time

These were the worst books I’ve read in many years. Performance was substandard on many levels which falls mostly on the performer and the director and production staff
The last performer was the best but the bar on that is very low. The first two couldn’t change their voice to match the characters or did it incorrectly giving females low deep voices. This made the story confusing since there were no guideposts on who was talking. But in fairness to the performers, none of them had much to work with because the authors just don’t have the skill or experience to write a good story
At least the first two were horror stories. One with a psycho house and the second with worms taking over the planet
It’s obvious the author didn’t have a timeline in mind for either of the three. Plots for the first two were weak or nonexistent. The third may have had one but the constant flashes and dreams made it so there may as well not been one. Character development was lacking in all three. The worm story was just a stream of words. No glue. The first one was predictable from the onset (house). Second one became obvious once the worms revealed themselves and no development of their appearance was provided

The third could have been a good story but the author just confused the shit out of me with his abrupt scene changes. The reader tried to make the battle scenes exciting but failed miserably because as written they were just boring and nonsensical.
