Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer Horror novel.  

An Astra Militarum colonel, broken by war and loss, returns to his childhood home to take up the mantle of Planetary Governor - but horrors await in the House of Malveil that will make his experiences of war seem like child's play.... 

Listen to it because: Haunted house stories are a staple of the horror genre. In a grim, dark future where much worse things than ghosts can anchor themselves to reality, a haunted house can do more than just scare you…  

The story: In a bleak corner of the city of Valgaast, the House of Malveil awaits. A place of darkness, its halls throb with a sinister history. Its rooms are filled with malice. Its walls echo with pain. Now it stirs eagerly with the approach of an old heir - Colonel Maeson Strock of the Astra Militarum has returned home to his ancestral mansion. He is a man broken, both by the horrors of war and by personal loss, and he has come home to take up the mantle of Planetary Governor. He hopes he can purge his home world of political corruption and reforge connections with his estranged children. He hopes he can rebuild his life.   

Malveil will feast on these dreams. Strock believes he has seen the worst of the galaxy’s horrors. Malveil will show him how wrong he is.  

Written by David Annandale.

Would make an excellent movie

The only reason I rated this 4 stars overall is purely because you can't quite capture the horror in an audiobook.
The story is fantastic. The characters are not morons and you can understand the decisions they make while combatting the horrors they face.
This would be an amazing movie!

Horrifying.

A truely Awesome horror story.
At first it took me a while to get into it, but once I was fully invested, I was in free fall.
I was held fascinated as I tried to predict what what would happen next, and flinch in shock when I’d be proven wrong.
Now I know the mystery’s, it will be so much better to listen to a second time.
