Über diesen Titel
A Warhammer Horror novel
Three travellers are drawn to the Reverie, the wound in the world of the Angels Resplendent. Knight, poet, scholar, each will face their shadows amidst a deeper darkness....
Listen to it because: Peter Fehervari's novels always have a rich vein of dark terror - now he's been unleashed in a Warhammer Horror novel that will take the sinister side of the 41st Millennium and turn it into nightmare fuel for you.
The story: 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.
Nothing natural grows in the Reverie’s snow-swept glades or wanders amongst the unnatural things that do, save for the intruders who trespass on its pain. Some seek revelation or redemption, others dream of winning a place amongst the Resplendent, but all come because they must.
Three travellers are drawn into the conspiracy that wards the wound - a knight haunted by his lost humanity, an aging 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.
Written by Peter Fehervari. Narrated by John Banks.

It has a deeper focus ont he characters, the athmosphere and the mystery.
And it delivers.
There really need to be more Fehervari Audiobooks.
If possible with the amazing John Banks, obviously, as he again does a stellar job and vibes well with the athmosphere.
Amazing Audiobook for Mystery/Horror Fans

Does it work? Actually, yes. But: this won't be to everyone's taste. It's very much about the Astartes, but it's not an epic action romp, more a character study about arrogance, hubris and art which feels positively lovecraftian at times. Combine that with a very flowery prose, and you get a unique experience.
Cosmic Horror, but 40k

But what did the autor do? He basically produced a pale copy of the "Fulgrim" novel by Graham McNeil, that describes the fall of the artistic Emperors Children legion (and their human followers - even that bit was the same) into decadence.
It's not even that I am sorry about the 10 hours i wasted on this, it's the 30 years of space-vampire Blood Angels potential, that was just ripe for the taking, that was wasted - at least, don't put it in the "Warhammer Horror"-line, if you're just doing a boring story about an unknown and unimaginative chapter because there was not a single moment in this book, that was remotely horror.
