Summary
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.

good stories let down by the end
the premise sets up in chaucerian/hyperion style,
first 2 of the 3 stories are really good, but the story gets let down by the last story and the overall ending.

Almost the best Warhammer Book I've listened to.
The first two thirds and the framing story were great. Brilliant stories and performance.
Sadly the third story of this compilation of sorts was atrocious, despite the incredible job the VA did with the material.
Had to force myself through the last third, loved the rest.

Bradley & co are Great, but GW needed Barker
an easy listen, some interesting elements, but even to someone who's horror experience is action movies, and dates with a few goth chicks, its wrote in one key place which rather undermines its value as fiction religating it to 40k lore, and is obvious from the outset only the performance makes it better thank reading a wiki page on it
Its almost an audio drama, with each character given a distinct voice, and as a painting companion its adiquate, but the writing lets it down

The Emperor's House of Horrors
I'm surprised Warhammer hasn't tapped the classic horror portmanteau to date, so it's pleasing to see its been done right. Much like Dead of Night or Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, the individual tales are held together by a framing story that will ultimately reveal the connection between them, and of course the reason for them being there.
The stories themselves are extremely good: predictable to be sure but a true pleasure to saviour. Leading the descent into madness is Doug Bradley, who brings the story of a Commissar struggling to do his duty to vivid and unforgettable life. Its a fascinating introduction to a new and rich seam of 40K and I'm excited to see where this will head. For those who are dreading the coming end of the Heresy series, here's hoping the Black Library will continue to develop this series for years to come.

Overall solid writing , despite some cliche
horror cliché is unavoidable sadly, but it was good stories, particularly enjoyed Valemar adventures in insanity. Despite very obvious ending, I enjoyed fully, the ending for damned and Sinners is the same.

A Spooky good time
My first real look at the new Warhammer horror books and I have I say I was very happy.
Seeing “normal” people dealing with the things that go on in this universe was very interesting.
I’m excited to see what comes next

simply amazing
interesting take on the grimdark universe that is actually grim and dark. audio is not well levelled in the interludes, but performance in the main chapters are captivating.
