About this listen

The fourth novel in the acclaimed cult-favorite series starring necromancer Johannes Cabal

Horst Cabal has risen from the dead - again.

Horst, the most affable vampire one is ever likely to meet, is resurrected by an occult conspiracy that wants him as a general in a monstrous army. Their plan is to create a country of horrors, a supernatural homeland. As Horst sees the lengths to which they are prepared to go and the evil they cultivate, he realizes that he cannot fight them alone. What he really needs on his side is a sarcastic, amoral, heavily armed necromancer.

As luck would have it, this exactly describes his brother.

The use of Cockney accents, particularly for Horst, an established refined German, was terrible. Johannes Cabal has a German accent at the beginning which slowly dissolves away completely while his brother is given the annoying cockney accent from the start.

Why on earth was this decision made? I can se a narrator would like to make a reading their own, but this is terrible; just too different from the well established, fitting, voices in Book1.

I jumped to bk4, after bk2, which wasn’t much of a Johannes story as just a Victorian WhoDunIt, because I saw Horst was back, but this was a great disappointment. I didn’t get past the first hour.

Cockney accents for the Cabal boys? Oh dear!
