Audiobook Review // The Haar by David Sodergren
Ancient sea creature. Elderly woman. Bloody horrible body horror. And somehow… a love story.
I went looking for some contemporary folk horror and The Haar by David Sodergren kept appearing everywhere.
So I gave it a listen.
And bloody hell, I enjoyed it.
A slimy creature, spectacularly gruesome deaths, a surprisingly emotional relationship and a story that has me wondering how I can steal the whole bloody concept for Sector 102.

Audio Review // Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth by David Bishop
What happens when a fictional serial killer steps out of the pages of a book and starts murdering people in Mega-City One? Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth brings back one of my favourite oddities, Slick Dickens, in a wonderfully twisted Judge Dredd mystery. I've also been thinking about how this whole idea could sneak its way into Sector 102... because apparently I can't read a Judge Dredd story anymore without stealing ideas for my own world!
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen by Guy Haley
The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen surprised me. Rather than focusing on Horus himself, Guy Haley gives us a planetary governor facing an impossible choice: betray the Emperor or watch his world be crushed by the Warmaster. A short, character-driven story that shows the very human cost of the Horus Heresy. A fitting end to my journey through Eye of Terra.
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: Stratagem by Nick Kyme
Aeonid Thiel's journey reaches its conclusion in Stratagem, a short but rewarding audio drama that reunites him with Roboute Guilliman after the events of Calth and the Shadow Crusade. Along the way, we witness the early foundations of the Codex Astartes and the transformation of the red helmet from a mark of censure into a symbol of leadership. It may only be 21 minutes long, but there's plenty here for Horus Heresy fans to enjoy. Here's my full review.
Audio Review: Eye of Terra: Red-Marked by Nick Kyme
Red-Marked follows Sergeant Aeonid Thiel as he defies orders once again to hunt down traitor activity on the fringes of Ultramar. Nick Kyme delivers a fast-paced audio drama packed with action, sharp character moments, and more of the Horus Heresy’s best maverick Ultramarine.
Audio Review // Horus Heresy: Chirurgeon by Nick Kyme
Excited to dive into another Fabius Bile story. As one of my favourite villains of 40k, it is always enjoyable to experience the 30k "Loyal" version. I'm keen on Reynold's version of him, so I genuinely hope Kyme does him Justice.

Book Review // Horus Heresy: Black Oculus by John French
Bridging the gap between Angel Exterminatus and the Battle of Tallarn, this short story focuses on the Navigators assigned to Iron Warrior Legion fleet. After their journey through the Eye of Terror, many of their number are... changed. This story also contains some hints as to the Iron Warriors motivation for their attack on Tallarn.
Book Review // Horus Heresy: Daemonology by Chris Wraight
The Death Guard have already embraced treachery, but this story follows their Primarch as he continues upon the road that will eventually doom his Legion to a plague-wracked damnation.
Book Review // Horus Heresy: Allegiance by Chris Wraight
This story continues a pair of stories from Chris Wraight's Heresy novels, and shows how loyalty and allegiance is never easy during a civil war, and how one event can change the way a warrior views the universe – and himself.
Audio Review: Judge Dredd: Get Karter
A revenge run to Brit-Cit, a crime boss with a death wish, and Judge Amy Steel’s final reckoning. Get Karter brings her story full circle in a tense, personal Judge Dredd audio drama — and proves once again why these Big Finish releases are so sorely missed.
Book Review // Horus Heresy Gunsight by James Swallow
A killer loose aboard the most dangerous ship in the galaxy. A loyal crewman trapped among the corrupted. And a mission that’s failed every time it’s been attempted. Gunsight is a slow-burn descent into the shadows of the Vengeful Spirit.
Book Review // Horus Heresy All That Remains by James Swallow
Drifting through the warp with the Imperium’s broken and forgotten, one ship becomes the unlikely birthplace of a legend. When a mysterious Space Marine arrives with orders older than treason itself, the truth behind the Grey Knights begins to surface.
Audio Review: Judge Dredd – Trapped on Titan
Time for a quick audio book review. Once again it is a Big Finish production about Judge Dredd. I truly love these dramas, but they are becoming increasingly hard to find. So let’s dive into this one.
Judge Dredd: The Big Shot! (Big Finish Audio)
Judge Dredd’s worst assignment yet? Babysitting a narcissistic film director.
In The Big Shot!, Dredd trades street patrol for VIP protection — and it’s every bit as chaotic as you’d expect. A sharp, fast-paced Big Finish audio full of wit, explosions, and classic Dredd grit.
