By: Alec Worley

Narrated by: Matthew Hunt, Deeivya Meir, Melvin Rawlinson, Richard Reed, Toby Longworth, Andrew Wincott

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.

A well-written yarn with an excellent twist!

A terrific story filled with dark, oppressive ambiance.
It had the sort of classic, dark, creeping horror of Lovecraft, Poe, Serling or Hitchcock, where even if you see the twist coming its evolution keeps you (the reader) happily engrossed.
The voice actors are superb too (as usual)!
Highly recommended!

Excellent Grim Dark story.

The story showcases the dark reality of the forty first millennium. Shows the human element to cruelty.

fantastic voice acting and satisfying conclusion

I highly recommend this to any fan of 40k. the voices actors are stunning, the story is phenomenal for its length, and the ironic conclusion is the bow on top.

Absolutely gripping

This story has me in absolute suspense and is one of the best side stories I’ve ever read.

A must listen for 40k fans

As a fanof both 40k and horror, I was a little nervous to see if this woukd be worth my time. I have never been a fan of audiobooks/dramas....until this one. The story voiceover and everything was top notch. Highly, highly recommend.
