The beautiful vampire, Genevieve Dieudonne, has been alive for hundreds of years, and has had a host of adventures in the dark forests and cities of the Warhammer world.

レビュー

Kim Newman is always a treat - The Guardian Engaging, breathlessly clever - SFX Strong and highly atmospheric fantasy - Starlog Jack Yeovil keeps up the high standard of excitement and entertainment - Enigma Most imaginitive writing; recommended - Interzone Yeovil excels at the macabre and grotesque - rpg.net Yeovil delivers a tale with bite and just a little humour that will keep you gripped from the moment you enter his world until you're spat out breathless and hungry for more at the end - Enigma

5つ星のうち5.0 Very cool story
2019年5月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Very different from the Vampire Ulrika, Genevive is a unique character all her own. Although she doesn't have to hide being a vampire, she faces many dangers and adventures. Lots of mystery, horror, and adventure.

5つ星のうち5.0 Richly enjoyable collection!

The most difficult task for an author is to re-invent a character (or a type), and yet remain true to the genre. Lots of superhero/heroine-s need "re-boot"-s simply to remain relevant in an increasingly complex world, with shades of grey creeping in everywhere. Kim Newman (using a pseudonym here) accomplishes that task with his vampire heroine with great elan, and in the process delivers some immensely enjoyable stories that belong to different stylistic categories (adventure, horror, murder-mystery, humour). The contents of this book are:

1) DRACHENFALLS: a dazzlingly original take on the classic "journey into the heart of darkness" theme, involving a hero, a heroine, a villain, a genius, and several others. This novel, on its own, should be the reason for you to read this book.

2) GENEVIEVE UNDEAD: A collection of several novellas which are of varying qualities, and have Genevieve in fringe roles. These novellas are:

(a) STAGEBLOOD: the sequel to Drachenfalls, as well as the Warhammer 'take' on "Phantom Of The Opera".
(b) COLD STARK HOUSE: a parody of every gothic novel, evident from not just the plot (bizarrely non-linear), but also from the names of the characters.
(c) UNICORN IVORY: a murder mystery, that doesn't "click" so well.

3) BEASTS IN VELVET: a gripping murder-mystery (with almost no role played by Genevieve, except a cameo appearance) that is the Warhammer 'take' on Jack The Ripper killings.

4) SILVER NAILS: another loose collection of novellas, some of which has Genevieve in it, and some doesn't. These novellas are:

(a) RED THIRST: an action-packed Genevieve adventure, which is the immediate prequel to the second part of DRACHENFALLS.
(b) NO GOLD IN THE GREY MOUNTAINS: a story involving Genevieve's grandmother-in-darkness (but NO Genevieve).
(c) THE IGNORANT ARMIES: the back-story of two characters who had played very important roles in "BEASTS IN VELVET" (but NO Genevieve).
(d) THE WARHAWK: another adventure of Policeman "Filthy" Harald and Scryer Rosanna (but NO Genevieve).
(e) THE IBBY THE FISH FACTOR: a humorous novella which has its chilling moments, but in its attempt to conclude the saga of Genevieve (and the genius Detlaf) on a happier note, with all loose ends tied up neatly, the story suffers to some extent.

Nevertheless, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anybody looking forward towards some escapist fun that has its moments of depth. And I must admit, the world needs heroines like Genevieve. Can the author bring her back please?!!!

5つ星のうち5.0 Dark fantasy... at its darkest!
2008年12月28日に英国でレビュー済み

This was the first Warhammer fiction I'd bothered to read and, believing it would be the generic fantasy version of pulp fiction that most of the D&D stuff I'd read was, I figured I wasn't missing much.
I was wrong!
From the opening sequence of the ill-fated storming of Castle Drachenfels, it was almost impossible to put this book down. The Warhammer setting depicts a world of few heroes, where victory is measured by survival with your sanity reasonably intact, where even the noblest of dreamers can be corrupted by their own desires, and ignominious death is only a heartbeat away as Chaos and evil insinuate themselves into everyday life. These linked stories reflect that dark existence intensely, showing how cheap life is in the Empire. There are many novels which fail to ignite the reader's adrenaline simply because the main characters are immune from death, however perilous their situation. Here though, anyone can fall, and most do, at least some distance. What little levity exists in the author's writing merely serves to punctuate the aura of despair that clings to the book.
I've since read a few Warhammer novels, and most of them are of a very high standard, but none have yet equalled the quality of this one!

5つ星のうち4.0 Read it like a single novel
2011年7月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

"The Vampire Genevieve" is an omnibus collections of Kim Newman's 4 Warhammer books. The title is actually misleading. Genevieve in not the dominant character in any of the stories in the volume and is completely absent from a number of them. The title is mostly for marketing: implying that the main character is a sexy, beautiful butt-kicking vampire helps sell books to the targeted readers, I guess.

Having said that, the book is quite good. It definitely deserves a much wider audience than the Warhammer readership it's targeted to. If you have read any of Newman's other books and liked them, you'll definitely have a lot of fun with this volume.

The contents of the volume are as follows:

Drachenfels (novel)
-- Prologue: 25 Years Ago
-- Acts 1-5
-- Epilogue: Envoi

Genevieve Undead (3 novellas)
-- Part 1. Stage Blood
-- Part 2. The Cold Stark House
-- Part 3. Unicorn Ivory

Beasts in Velvet (novel)

Silver Nails (5 short stories/novellas)
-- Red Thirst
-- No Gold in the Grey Mountains
-- The Ignorant Armies
-- The Warhawk
-- The Ibby the Fish Factor

In this book, there are various stories thrown together which happening at differnt times in the internal chronology. Here is my suggestion: read the stories in the order of the internal chronolgy rather than the order in the book. If you do this, it actually kind of hangs together and kind of feels like a single sprawling novel with various subplots rather than just bunch of loosely-connected stories.

The following is the order that the events happen in the volume:

-- Drachenfels: Prologue: 25 Years Ago
-- Silver Nails: Red Thirst
-- Silver Nails: No Gold in the Grey Mountains
-- Drachenfels: Acts 1-5
-- Drachenfels: Epilogue: Envoi
-- Silver Nails: The Ignorant Armies
-- Beasts in Velvet
-- Genevieve Undead: Part 1. Stage Blood
-- Silver Nails: The Warhawk
-- Genevieve Undead: Part 2. The Cold Stark House
-- Genevieve Undead: Part 3. Unicorn Ivory
-- Silver Nails: The Ibby the Fish Factor

[ As a side note: Be aware that if you've read Newman's Diogenes Club stories or Anno Dracula novels, you may be dissappointed with the Genevieve portrayed here. The versions of Genevieve Dieudonne in those other works comes accross as very worldly and confident -- a strong and distinctive character. I found the Warhammer-universe Genevieve in this book actually rather passive most of the time and doesn't particularly stand out a distinctive personality. But maybe others will disagree with me... ]
