'The Beast smelled the fog and crept out of the man-shell, claws extending. It tasted the blood in the air and howled for joy. With each night the city became more hospitable. Tonight would be magnificent.'
In the Imperial capital of Altdorf a killer stalks the streets. Nicknamed "The Beast" by those who have seen the remains of his victims, all evidence points to the haughty members of the Imperial court, the wealthy and privileged who are a law unto themselves!
With the gruesome murders mounting, the disgraced watchman "Filthy" Harald Kleindeinst is reinstated for a single assignment: to stop the Beast's reign of bloody terror and discover its true identity, whether it be man, woman or an unholy creature of Chaos!
Jack Yeovil is a pseudonym for noted horror author Kim Newman and 'Beasts In Velvet' includes many of his favourite 'Warhammer' characters including the vampire femme fatale Genevieve, star of his previous novels 'Drachenfels' and 'Genevieve Undead'.
