About this listen

A Warhammer Horror audio drama.

On a world cut off from the Imperium, towering spires are lashed by endless rain. As citizens flee from the drowning city, a sadistic Imperial interrogator seeks a lowly data-drone with a terrible secret. But when disaster strikes, the pair must rely on each other for survival as the Watcher in the Rain awaits them.

Listen to it because: Hear a world in peril, with a magnificent soundscape acting as the backdrop to a thoroughly frightening tale of two enemies forced to work together against a darkness that will consume them both.

The story: In the far reaches of Imperial space, a ferocious warp storm approaches an Administratum world, cutting off the entire planet from the rest of the Imperium. As their towering grey spires are punished by endless rain, countless administrators, tithe-masters, and book-keepers are forced to evacuate. Among them is Greta, a lowly data-drone with a terrible secret, wanted for questioning by the sadistic Imperial interrogator Stefan Crucius. As disaster strikes and the pair are left stranded in the depths of the drowning city, captor and captive must cooperate to stand any chance of escaping. But a mysterious presence stalks them through the abandoned, flooded towers, a dread entity each must confront but which neither dare acknowledge, a Watcher in the Rain.

Written by Alec Worley. Running time 74 minutes. Performed by Matthew Hunt, Deeivya Meir, Melvin Rawlinson and Richard Reed.

I haven't listened to an audio book in a few years and needless to say i'm very impressed by the overall audio production. Voice acting is very convincing and evokes great emotional responses. The little bits of foley and atmospheric music really brings a lot of tension to the plot. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this and felt like I went to the cinemas as it all played out like a movie in my head. Very much unlike the rudimentary space marine novels that most Warhammer 40k tend to be and definitely worth the time!

Gripping thriller well executed!!

I can't recommend this title enough. A must for fans of the grim dark. It is absolutely captures how truly messed up life in the 41st Milennium is, gonna steal its themes for sure.

Fantastic!
