Summary

A Warhammer Horror audiobook

A disgraced warrior-priest who prowls the Greywater Fastness is forced to confront his past when a message from an old friend sends him on a perilous quest. In an isolated village full of untrusting souls, his darkest secrets threaten to come to light.

Listen to It Because:

Explore a corner of the Mortal Realms full of dangerous characters and dark secrets in a tale by Josh Reynolds, master of the sinister.

The Story:

Harran Blackwood was a Warrior-Priest of ruthless virtue. Now he's a man with a scorched reputation, prowling the back alleys of Greywater Fastness, content to fight the petty wars of racketeers for survival. But when a desperate message arrives from an old friend, Blackwood is forced to confront a past he thought long buried.

Summoned to the isolated village of Wald, Blackwood sets off on a perilous trek to ensure the sins of his former life remain forgotten. He soon discovers that Wald is a hostile, secretive place with sins of its own. Deep in the murky marshes, where the cruel chants of village folk echo and the stink of death hovers low, Blackwood must channel his bitterness and rage to defy the ancient darkness that now hunts him before he is devoured, body and soul.

Bleak, grimy, dour. Great!

I was not acquainted with the 40k warhammer games/series, and got this book for 3 reasons. The beautiful, mesmerizing cover art, the fact that I needed to add a book during a 2 for 1 sale and nothing else caught my fancy, and because I was in the mood for a creepy, dark horror story.

I'm glad I picked it! This story is relentless in its bleakness, you can just feel evil dripping off it. It is well written, no clunky language and it keeps flowing without any boring bits. The narrators voice also suits the material really well. I was thoroughly creeped out during many parts, which is exactly what I wanted. I won't spoil the story, but it was pretty easy to follow/imagine even as someone who is not familiar with the 40k universe. Just think of it as fantasy horror. I may start listening to the series now too, but it absolutely works as a stand alone novel as well. Especially if you listen to it on dark, rainy nights.

Dark fantasy meets the Wicker Man and Snake Plissken

This is the best Black Library book I have read and is fantastically dark whilst keeping the reader turning each page with a sense of urgency to discover what the hero/anti-hero will face next. Blackwood has the same attitude towards life as Snake Plissken another anti-hero faced with a formidable task. The sense of foreboding throughout is exciting as are the regular surprises regarding the “dark harvest”. Highly recommended, next for me is C L Werner’s Witch Hunter trilogy. Looking forward to another Blackwood novel!

So good!

Grimdark at it's finest, the story plays out like a bleak noire of sorts with a decent mystery. Completely different look at the Sylvaneth and just what is capable in Age of Sigmar as a setting.

Formulaic, meandering, ultimately pointless

Dark Harvest contains some memorable, atmospheric writing. However: the by-the-numbers scene structure becomes too obvious to ignore. Harran Blackwood slouches through one 1st person scene after another. You will not fear for his life, nor find yourself inspired by his battle against an inimical world. Each scene's crisis is resolved with a low-drama button press. Our Hero effectively has infinite money, infinite combat skill, infinite help from companions - or he is just too important for the mid-level baddies to kill. Everything leads up to the final confrontation between Harran and the terrible being that has pursued him throughout the book. And is that confrontation exciting, dramatic, cataclysmic? I am sorry to tell you that it is not. This lynchpin scene - this scene that carries the whole weight and promise of the book - turns on the *lamest Bait & Switch ever used in fiction*. I won't spoil this scene. I'll just say that - stories make promises, and authors must respect those promises. *Not* fob off their readers with a lazy 'ah, I'll sort it out in Book 2".

A dark damp world breathed life by a voice of pure talent

The story was great, an almost noir esq detective story told in a warhammer setting of old. Jake Urry has single handedly become my favourite audible narrator from this one book alone, i only wish he did more of them in this setting.

Dark, dark, DARK! :D

Awesome and Grimdark! A great look in to not only the Mortal Realms and their underbelly but also the Sylvaneth! Narration is great and it's wonderfully written.

best single narration of the WHH books

Jake Urry does a fantastic job with the voices here and elevates the book to an incredibly high level. The story itself too was great and my favourite of the series so far.

pretty average

story was predictable but had its moments that made it worth listening too, the narration however was quite poor, and it was often difficult to distinguish between characters

An Excellent Entry in Warhammer Horror

I don't think one would need know much about the worlds of Warhammer to enjoy this story. Part detective story, part nature-horror we have a gritty protagonist, a good set up, and a couple of very interesting turns to enjoy. Jake Urry's reading was excellent too, definitely added to the experience.
