A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus: The Dark Coil Revealed

Cracks in the Imperium’s Foundation

Beneath the gleaming facade of humanity’s greatest defenders, something rotten festers and spreads. While the galaxy’s elite warriors stand vigilant against external threats, insidious corruption eats away at the Imperium from within. Chaos weaves its malevolent influence through the sprawling web of the Dark Coil, an interconnected network of tainted worlds and cursed events that spans across space and time. Meanwhile, xenos threats grow bolder and more dangerous with each passing day, exploiting every weakness in humanity’s crumbling defenses. This omnibus collection exposes the fractures that threaten to shatter the Imperium’s carefully maintained illusion of invincibility.

Horror That Connects Across the Void

Peter Fehervari stands as the undisputed master of psychological horror within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and this collection represents his magnum opus. The Dark Coil wraps its insidious tendrils through every story, creating connections that reveal themselves slowly, deliberately, terrifyingly. What initially appear to be separate tales gradually coalesce into a nightmarish whole that proves far more sinister than any individual piece. Fehervari plunges into the deepest recesses of both human consciousness and the darkest corners of the galaxy, uncovering horrors that lurk where faith meets madness and duty collides with damnation.

Explore the Shame of Fallen Angels

The Reverie tears away the veil of glory surrounding a supposedly noble Chapter of Space Marines, exposing a dark secret that corrupts everything they stand for. Once this terrible truth comes to light, follow the censured warriors through The Crown of Thorns, The Sins of My Brothers, and The Thirteenth Psalm as they desperately attempt to atone for sins that may be beyond redemption. Watch as these transhuman heroes grapple with the crushing weight of their failures, questioning whether salvation is even possible for those who have fallen so far from the Emperor’s light.

Descend Into Urban Nightmares

Nightbleed drags you into the bowels of a hive city where billions live stacked upon billions in endless industrial squalor. Here, a disgraced medicae haunted by past mistakes encounters a street preacher whose fevered visions may hold terrifying truth. Their fates become inexorably intertwined as they navigate a labyrinth of desperation and decay. Nightshift Nineteen presents an even more claustrophobic horror: a cursed maintenance crew working the depths of another hive city, plagued by a series of seemingly random misfortunes that gradually reveal a pattern too terrible to comprehend.

Witness Faith Tested to Breaking

Requiem Infernal and Aria Arcana thrust you alongside the Adepta Sororitas of the Last Candle, warrior nuns whose unwavering faith will be tested in ways that defy imagination. When remnants of a decimated Astra Militarum force arrive seeking aid, deeply-held secrets buried beneath layers of religious devotion begin to surface. These stories explore what happens when absolute faith confronts absolute horror, and whether even the most devout servants of the Emperor can maintain their convictions when faced with truths that should not exist.

Hunt Heretics Across the Stars

The Walker in Fire follows a Deathwatch Space Marine of the Salamanders Chapter on a deadly mission into unknown territory. Tasked with locating and eliminating a pair of rogue Adeptus Mechanicus agents, he discovers that hunting tech-heretics involves confronting mysteries that challenge everything he understands about the Omnissiah’s servants. The pursuit leads him through worlds where the boundary between man and machine has been violated in ways that turn his stomach, even as he must press forward to complete his sacred duty.

Experience Ritual Turned Nightmare

Nightfall presents a masterclass in mounting dread as young men participate in a ritual whose true purpose they cannot begin to fathom. What begins as tradition spirals into terror as the Night Lords emerge from the shadows, transforming ceremony into carnage. This story captures the essence of Warhammer 40,000’s horror: the moment when ignorance gives way to horrifying revelation, and ordinary humans realize they are nothing but prey for predators beyond their comprehension.

Complete Story Collection

This comprehensive omnibus delivers two full-length novels alongside seven short stories that weave together into an unforgettable tapestry of terror. The collection includes The Reverie, The Crown of Thorns, The Sins of My Brothers, The Thirteenth Psalm, Nightbleed, Nightshift Nineteen, Requiem Infernal, Aria Arcana, The Walker in Fire, and Nightfall. Each story stands as a haunting experience on its own, but together they reveal the true scope of the Dark Coil’s influence across the Imperium.

Peter Fehervari’s Defining Work

Peter Fehervari has earned his reputation as Warhammer 40,000’s premier author of atmospheric, psychologically complex horror fiction. His distinctive voice transforms the familiar grimdark setting into something more personal, more unsettling, and infinitely more memorable. This omnibus represents the culmination of his vision for the Dark Coil, offering both longtime fans and newcomers an opportunity to experience the interconnected nightmares that have made his work essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the true horror lurking beneath the Imperium’s surface.

From the Community:

Countless stories occur all across the galaxy, with seemingly nothing linking one outburst of violence and heroism to another, but Peter Fehervari has found the threads linking together a series of disparate events in The Dark Coil: Ascension. This anthology brings together novels The Reverie and Requiem Infernal and eight short stories, all trapped in the sprawling web of the Dark Coil.

You can order it in paperback format next week.
