A Warhammer Horror portmanteau

Drawn together by mysterious circumstances, three strangers meet in the mists of a desolate cemetery world. As they relate their stories, the threads of fate are drawn around them, and destiny awaits…

READ IT BECAUSE
It's a classic horror portmanteau comprising three Warhammer 40,000 novellas, each with its own distinct feel – a ghost story, a monster saga and a psychological horror tale – that all draw together through the terrifying linking story.

THE STORY
On a misty cemetery world, three strangers are drawn together through mysterious circumstances. Each of them has a tale to tell of a narrow escape from death. Amid the toll of funerary bells and the creep and click of mortuary-servitors, the truth is confessed. But whose story can be trusted? Whose recollection is warped, even unto themselves? For these are strange stories of the uncanny, the irrational and the spine-chillingly frightening, where horrors abound and the dark depths of the human psyche is unearthed.

Written by Josh Reynolds, David Annandale and Phil Kelly

This title will be available to order from the 23rd March 2019 as a Paperback.

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.

READ IT BECAUSE
The uncanny, the strange and the downright terrifying await you in this thrilling anthology packed full of darkness and horror.

DESCRIPTION
An arcane evil has awoken in these worlds defiled by endless war. Perhaps it was born from the madness of violence. Or else it has always existed, hiding among restless shadows with eyes half-closed. But now, it slithers and creeps into the wreckage of people’s lives, those who have already survived the unthinkable. It covets the lost, the lonely and the hopeless, pushing them down their fateful paths — a reclusive historian, searching for a ghostly ship; the crew of a ruined craft who must brave a slow, inevitable death; an old woman seeking redemption in a hostile wasteland. For these are the stories of journey taken, choices made and the power of the human spirit when dark forces come hunting.
