A Warhammer Horror audio

In the harshest of times, even the most faithful can walk in dark places - as Arch-Deacon Ambrose discovers when drought and plague sweep through his city.

Listen to it because: in the grim darkness of the far future, gods are real and faith is rewarded. Discover what happens when that faith is misplaced and light becomes darkness.

The story: 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.

This is a testament to what you can do with horror in the 40k universe. Narration is superb and engrossing. The only real issue I have is that it feels about 2 hours too short, with everything escalating a little too quickly. Still, it's a story I cant wait to share with my friends.

Proof Warhammer horror can work

An absolutely horrifying story encompassing the transformative love of the rot father. A world lost in the throws of drought, famine, plague and heresy; with only a deacon of the holy emperor to stand for salvation. Emperor preserve those who listens to the deacon of wounds.

It’s a warhammer horror story and it doesn’t follow a beat sheet. If you’re a fan of terror or psychology horror you should like this book.

This is good
