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.

It's been a long time since I played any Warhammer but it was a familiar world to step back into with this book.

It was gruesome, dramatic and detailed, just as Warhammer should be. A very good book, but I would only recommend it to people with at least a basic understanding of the Warhammer universe.

A good story from the Warhammer universe

loved this story as much as I did as a teenager. The narration was alright, but I think I'd have preferred a man, just because so many of the key characters are male. I felt the narrator struggled a little with the range needed.

excellent story

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.

Reminded me how much I loved the old world. Action packed, dark and satirical. Outstanding.

Strongly recommend it. Slow start but it eventually picks up and you really enjoy the main protagonists.

An enjoyable story.
