ABOUT THE STORY
The Hounds of Hübschdorf (formerly called 'Grauwald's Game') is an epic fantasy audiobook by Audio Epics that has been released on Halloween, since it has serious dark fantasy and grimdark vibes. This brand new Witch Hunter Tale is the direct prequel to Witch Hunter.
If you like a dark adventure story you'll probably enjoy this grim journey in the original fantasy setting of Hruda, inspired by everything we love: RPG settings like the Old World from Warhammer fantasy, eighties fantasy movies and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth (amongst others).
PLOT SUMMARY
When three Witch Hunters fail to return from a routine investigation, Master Ludlov and Initiate Tolfmann find themselves in a small village near the woods. While investigating the strange disappearance of their Brethren, it becomes obvious the mayor is not so keen on their arrival, and the villagers seem to prefer the distraction of the Graunacht festivities to their nosing around. When their inquest reveals a dark mystery involving evil magic and undead, Ludlov faces the true cause of the threat in a place more disturbing than he could have imagined.

Inside a recent episode
The Hounds of Hübschdorf - Episode 10
Published 26 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Considering what he had been through, he looked well, but he was burning up with a fever and he had a cough. Ludlove removed his wet bandages which had been reduced to dirty wet strips of cloth. His wounds were burning, but somehow the dry heat of the fire eased the pain, at least for a bit. Exhausted, Tulfmann spoke little and simply enjoyed the warmth of the hearth until he fell asleep. The stranger slept as well and kept on sleeping. His body was burning up from what was likely a serious infection. Upon further investigation, Ludlove discovered that the stranger had indeed contracted a severe abrasion on his thigh, which did not look too pretty. […]
