Series: Vampire Genevieve, 1.
The first novel to ever come out in the Warhammer setting, set in their Fantasy universe, is also one of the first novels by renowned novelist, film connoisseur and vampire enthusiast Kim Newman, who would later be better known for his Anno Dracula novel series (which is still ongoing) as well as being a staple on horror DVD and Blu-Ray special features as an ubiquitous talking head.
For the first novel for a medieval miniature game this is an amazingly entertaining, fun and innovative novel. Influenced by Dracula but also influencing the later Anno Dracula novels, the story tells of a playwright/actor, Detlef, who is hired by an important noble to retell the story of the killing of the wizard Drachenfels years ago. As the play starts being produced the story of the fiction and that of the real events start mixing together as those involved in the death of Drachenfels are brought together.
Divided into acts and with a memorable cast, particularly the Vampire Genevieve who would take centre role in further novels in this and other universes, the book is, in good Newman tradition, full of references to other tales, movies and events, this is also a one off story, completely self-contained and really satisfying by itself. This is not always the case in these kinds of novelizations, so that's refreshing. A definite recommendation if you are a fan of the Anno Dracula series particularly, but generally if you like a good vampire novel.
TL;DR: 8/10
