Suspended between life and death for over six hundred years, Genevieve Dieudonné is beautiful, powerful, resourceful and courageous. In the crowded cities and dark forests of the Warhammer world, Genevieve and her companions battle the forces of evil and insanity. But the vampire blood running through her veins means she must constantly fight the urge to surrender to the evil within her. The Vampire Genevieve collects all the tales of Genevieve and her unusual allies in one thrilling volume. Genevieve joins a young prince on a quest to find Drachenfels, the Great Enchanter, and put an end to his reign of terror-an adventure that both ends and begins at the Enchanter's fortress, where a playwright intends to stage a recreation of Drachenfels' death. But the castle hides secrets that may close the curtains on Genevieve and her friends forever. In Genevieve Undead, three linked novellas offer up the dark secrets of the Old World, as Genevieve's adventures take her from the daemon-haunted passages of an old theatre to the spell-ridden maze of an accursed mansion to a unicorn hunt in an enchanted forest. In Beasts in Velvet, a disgraced watchman comes out of retirement to hunt down "The Beast," a serial killer who dispatches women on the streets of Altdorf-and who seems to be two creatures in one body. Also included is Silver Nails, a collection of five tales, plus a new introduction by the author.

The Vampire Genevieve (A Warhammer Fantasy Novel)

BL Publishing

In 1968, George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" and Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" brought a new slant to the horror film, bringing zombies and witchcraft into a contemporary setting, and much closer to home than the cardboard Transylvanias of earlier films. This work is a critical overview of the horror movie genre from the late 1960s with a discussion of over 2000 films - masterpiece and monstrosity alike. Kim Newman is a film critic and broadcaster and contributes to BBC Radio 4's "Kaleidoscope" and BBC TV's "Cover to Cover".
