Title: The Best Ghost Stories Ever Told Subtitle: Best Stories Ever Told Author: Stephen Brennan (editor) Narrator: J. M. Badger, Imelda Pot Format: Unabridged Length: 24 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A big, brilliant, spooky collection of classic and contemporary ghost stories that will make you hesitate before turning off that light. Editorial Reviews: Build up your bonfire, break out your marshmallows, and make sure youve got someone to grab when things get scary...then press play on this classic collection of over 40 spooky stories, edited by Stephen Brennan, who has left no stone unturned in his search for the most memorable haunted tales of the 19th and 20th centuries. Including unforgettable additions from such literary greats as H. G. Wells and Edgar Allen Poe, this collection is guaranteed to thrill and chill. J. M Badger and Imelda Pot prove themselves to be energetic and animated performers, exercising careful pacing to amp up the tension in these ghoulish shorts, guaranteed to creep you out! Members Reviews: A very mixed review Because this is a collection of stories that were written by different authors and read by different narrators, I found that I either truly enjoyed or truly hated each story. There was very little middle ground. In the second half of the book, I gave each story no more than 10 minutes. If I liked it by that point, I listened to the rest. If it did not capture my attention by then, I jumped to the next story. This made the second half much more pleasant than the first. Same ol', same ol'... If you've heard one, you've heard 'em all...great classics that have been told a few too many times, already. So these are the best ghost stories ever told are they? Not sure about some of the stories in this collection. That is to say, I'm not sure that if I were editing them I'd necessarily have included some of them since to my mind they aren't, strictly speaking, ghost stories. I'll give an example. 'Open Window' is more about a woman with a fanciful imatination and a talent for telling convincing lies than about a real ghost. I felt the naration was flat in places and the accents were a mite strange. However they did their best and that's a lot. I'd read it again anyway. If you're an aspiring writer of short fictuion and you'll try your hand at anything then read this one. If you're an aspiring reader of audio books read this one. it'll show you how not to do it. If you just like ghost stories then give it a listen but don't be surprised if you find some you disagree with in terms of their inclusion in this collection. Great stories, poorly read I love a good ghost story, and among my favourite authors are Wilde, James & Poe. However I think this was a poor choice of narrator for such stories. Very monotone, with little inflection or suspense. I am not a anglophile, but I believe, as many of the stories are by English authors, this collection would have benefitted from a British narrator. Skip this tittle Great stories read too quickly with appalling accents... the British and German accents are shockingly bad. It is difficult to follow as a result. The narrator is out of his depth and ruins some classic stories.... Pity a great collection If narrated well .

Title: In the Night Room Author: Peter Straub Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-04 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 168 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: On the same day, author Timothy Underhill, struggling with a new book about a troubled young woman, is confronted with the ghost of his 9-year-old sister, April. Soon after, Underhill begins to receive eerie, fragmented e-mails that he finally realizes are from dead people whom he knew in his youth. Like his sister, they want to tell him something. When Willy and Timothy meet, they recognize each other, realizing that they must join forces to confront the evils surrounding them. Critic Reviews: "Moving briskly while ranging from high humor to the blackest dread, this is an original, astonishingly smart and expertly entertaining meditation on imagination and its powers; one of the very finest works of Straub's long career." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: In the night room I almost didn't get this book because of the review I read. I am not quite certain what his problem was but I found this book rather good and entertaining. The first 45 minutes to an hour, one had to follow closly but all came clear and became more and more engrossing. I am happy that I relied upon past experience with this author and not the listener review. The Perfect Book It took a little while to get into really confusing at first. Then I became totally engrossed. I don't want to give anything away, just get it. Get it now! Before someone tells you about it and messes up all the surprises. Having read 'The Talisman' and 'Black House'.... ....and simply adoring those books I was excited to jump into this book knowing that Peter Straub was the author.... Unfortunately.....this book was nowhere near the incredible stories of the above mentioned books (along with the help of Stephen King these 2 books are fantastic). The story was at times confusing and hard to follow.....there were some pretty entertaining parts such as the mass amounts of chocolate, Coca-Cola, and sugar needed to save Willy from perishing but the continuous use of "Butt-Sex" as the nickname for Timothy Underhill by his so-called 'spiritual advisor' Syrex was just annoying and a bit offensive. The supernatural aspect of the book started out as a great concept but never did hash out to anything spectacular or fascinating. The book-within-a-book concept was also great in the beginning but ended up just fizzling out with a less than climactic ending. I really want to read something else of Peter Straub's to find out how his writing can really reach out and grab you.....it just wasn't this book......but I am willing to give him another chance.....'Ghost Story' will probably be the book to do it for me..... Read It Again I almost didn't purchase this book because of the other reviews. At first I was wondering 'what is going to happen'; When 'it' happened it was done masterfully. This story is a roller coaster ride and definitely worth a re-read if you thought it wasn't a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and cannot wait to read Straub's other book. Good story terrible narrator I really liked this book. At least I really liked the story, but it was really hard to stay focused on the writing what with the narrator, Scott Brick, treating every sentence as a dramatic reading. I had to keep backing up to re-hear passages since in my annoyance I would start thinking of how a normal person would narrate it. What a Drama Queen he is. Author and story were great though.

Title: The Lighthouse Subtitle: Berkley Street Series, Book 2 Author: Ron Ripley Narrator: Thom Bowers Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-16 Publisher: ScareStreet.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 175 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Ex-marine Shane Ryan is a ghost hunter whose troubled past haunts him almost as much as the ghosts he encounters in the line of duty. He's the best. And his reward for excellence? The punishment of being in high demand for jobs to eradicate the worst kind of ghosts - the kind that kill. His latest assignment is an idyllic island setting with sunny skies, crystal blue ocean and a venerable old lighthouse that makes the scenery picture perfect...except for the malevolent, murderous ghosts marring the living portrait. If Amy, the owner, wasn't Marie Lafontaine's cousin, Shane would have steered clear of Squirrel Island and its diabolical dead. But Detective Lafontaine is his do-or-die friend. He'd do anything for her. Even face Dorothy, the undead Evilena who kills anyone invading her unholy domain. Add two shipwrecked couples to the mix and Shane has more trouble than he wants to handle. Shane's mission is clear: rid the island of Dorothy and her band of undead while keeping his new charges alive. But how could he know that staying alive meant facing the worst evil ever imagined? Members Reviews: Terrifying!! So Shane's back but this time he is dealing with something even worse!! He is asked to help with a haunted lighthouse, which seems easy enough, but it's anything but. This island is riddled with the dead. What could possibly happen to Shane on a remote island filled with the dead?? ;) Well, read it to see!!!! Here's me thinking that Berkley Street was scary, well welcome to The Lighthouse!! A place that is so captivating, you won't want to leave, well Dorothy doesn't give you much choice!! If you enter her domain, you are there to stay. When Shane gets there, he realises the scope of the problem, but he knows that he will only be there a day or two and some one will check on him, when no one does though, and two couples wind up washed ashore, Shane sees that there is more going on than meets the eye. With people being killed, can Shane figure things out before it's too late!! Shane is just as awesome as the first book! He visits the Lighthouse as a favour to Detective Lafontaine, otherwise he would have stayed away!! He really grows as a character in this book, he is brave, selfless and does what he needs to in order to survive and help others. In all, this was terrifying!! Dorothy was truly evil!! Finding out what she was like when she was alive was heartbreaking, but pales in comparison to what she does when she is dead! Lighthouses can be creepy places at the best of times, but add in lots of ghosts, and you have a chilling tale that will leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on. Thom Bowers really knows how to bring a terrifying tale to life. He ramps up the tension when needed and did a great job with the atmosphere. Really enjoyed his narration and need to check out more from him. *I received a free copy of this but voluntarily reviewed it. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.* Let's see .... SCARY, FRIGHTFUL, GRUESOME, GHASTLY Would you listen to The Lighthouse again? Why? No, I don't think I want to go back to Squirrel Island...

Meat: A Vampire Novella Audiobook by Michael Bray

Title: Meat: A Vampire Novella Author: Michael Bray Narrator: Jeffrey Kyle Carpenter Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-09-15 Publisher: mr m p bray Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Grueber's, the brand-new all-night supermarket chain with a difference. For its unfortunate customers, the ordinary looking store could be the last trip they ever make; for its shelves are stacked with horrific delicacies made from human flesh, and the store boasts a meat aisle that has to be seen to be believed. The unlikely group of unwitting shoppers must come together to not only survive, but to try to find a way to escape from the store and the inhuman staff who are keen for them to stay forever. Members Reviews: I'm Never Going to the Store Again! If you could sum up Meat: A Vampire Novella in three words, what would they be? Gory, Creepy, Nightmarish What other book might you compare Meat: A Vampire Novella to and why? I'm not sure I could compare it to anything. I've never read or listened to anything like it before. It's a really disturbing story overall. I love scary weird stuff, and this even unnerved me. It's like The Walking Dead in a surreal supermarket setting. But it has a really solid story and creepy vibe to it. I'm hoping that Michael Bray has intentions of doing a sequel to this book, because I still have mixed emotions about Garrett. Which scene was your favorite? I think when "the group" was trying to escape, and were forced to witness their surroundings as they made their way to a hopeful freedom. I could literally feel and sense what they were witnessing along the way. That was pretty disturbing for sure. I really don't want to spoil it for other listeners, so I will just leave it at that. Who was the most memorable character of Meat: A Vampire Novella and why? I liked Lee the most. He surprised me as far as to what type of guy he played out to be. There were a couple other characters that ran a close second, but he is my pick. Any additional comments? The is one crazy, creepy story that still makes me uneasy when I'm forced to go to the grocery store. It's my first take on the author Michael Bray, but it won't be my last, I really like his writing style. The narration was very entertaining as well. I've heard Jeffrey Carpenter read a couple of other books prior to this. He is a talented guy, and I always have my eyes and ears open to his work in the future. Totally bizarre vampire tale. Would you listen to Meat: A Vampire Novella again? Why? I never listen to any audiobook again, as i have so many i want to listen to. What other book might you compare Meat: A Vampire Novella to, and why? This tale is one of a kind. It was like a Twilight Zone vampire story. Which scene did you most enjoy? When Lee blew off Bo's head. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? How far will you go when lives are at steak! Any additional comments? Great story. Warped and gory.

Hell Comes to Hollywood, Book 1 Audiobook

Title: Hell Comes to Hollywood, Book 1 Subtitle: An Anthology of Short Horror Fiction Set in Tinseltown Author: Charles Austin Muir, Brian Domonick Muir, Paul J. Salamoff, Shane Bitterling, C. Courtney Joyner, Jed Strahm Narrator: Graydon Schlichter, Jennifer Knighton Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-13 Publisher: Big Time Books Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A screenwriter pays a ghastly price for inspiration - and begs for more. A director looking for fresh-faced talent finds more than he bargained for. A legendary diva will sacrifice anything for fame and glory. A TV personality discovers the twisted truth behind his co-star's impossible celebrity scoops. A bizarre film by an unknown writer brings bloody chaos to everyone who screens it. A mailroom clerk finds out just what kind of guts it takes to become a top talent agent. Vampiric producers, ghostly actors, psychotic limousine drivers, murderous stunt men and more haunt the streets and back lots of Hollywood in twenty original horror and suspense stories set in the heart of show business, and written by veteran movie and television professionals who went through Hell and back to bring you these tales. Members Reviews: Fun read, Kindle edition a bargain Purchased the Kindle edition at 99 cents figuring it would be difficult to go wrong at that price, and it was indeed a great buy. Most of the stories in "Hell Comes to Hollywood" are good, some very good, and all at least attempt to be interesting. I particularly enjoyed "The Cutting Room" by Jeff Seeman, "Town Car" by Joseph Dougherty, "Pool Boy" by Ann Lewis Hamilton, "Dog Eats Dog" by John Schouweiler, "Trash Day" by William Paquet and "They Go In Threes" by Shane Bitterling. Hooray for horrible Hollywood! Every variety of Tinseltown terror you could wish is in this gripping set of grim tales. Warning: Gore gushes, the comedy is dark and of scant relief, virtue is not rewarded, dreams turn to nightmare, self-loathing trumps self-respect, and endings are not happy. Like a box of nasty chocolates, this is a collection best sampled nightly, rather than consumed in one gut-wrenching sitting. Whimsical chills in Laura Brennan's story about the sheer hell of boredom quickly segue to Andrew Helm's sanguinary salute to low-budget 50s monsterfests that comments supernaturally on the high costs to their creators. Soon we are awash in blood, in John Schouweiler's killer agent saga. The town's hangers-on take care of hideous business in iconic settings (a swimming pool, a studio apartment) in haunting tales by Ann Lewis Hamilton and Sean Yopchick. James Grayford waxes poetic about serial killing. William Paquet's hotel of horrors will make you long for the comfort of Barton Fink's blazing digs. Alan Bernhoft manages to combine a kitschy landmark, Old Hollywood royalty, and sci-fi carnage. Elizabeth J. Musgrave sets up a casting call gone diabolically wrong. Richard Tanne warns of that even astral projection is no match for the worst kind of writer's block. Travis Baker calls down infernal judgment on a Hollywood Hills homeowner. Jed Strahm and Ray G. Ing award a selfish star with her moment of glory on a deep red carpet. Paul J. Salamoff makes you feel great...about missing out on those exclusive Hollywood parties. Jamison Rotch confirms your worst fears about what you have to do to whom, to get a deal in this town. Charles Austin Muir shows us being a lonely old ex-actor is not so bad, unless you are tempted to do something about it. C.

But will making contact destroy them both? "Creature Feature" by Heather Graham: What could be better publicity for a horror convention than an honest-to-goodness curse? It's only after lights out that the hype - and the Jack the Ripper mannequin - starts to feel a little too real. "The New War" by Lisa Morton: Mike Carson is a war hero and a decorated vet. He doesn't deserve to be trapped in a hospital with some black thing sitting on his chest as patients die all around him. His only hope is to take out the nurse before it's his turn. "Sammy Comes Home" by Ray Garton: It's what every family prays for: a lost pet returning home.

"The Brasher Girl" by Ed Gorman: Cindy Marie Brasher is the prettiest girl in the Valley, and Spence just has to have her. Unfortunately, Cindy has a "friend" - a friend who tells her to do bad things. Members Reviews: Poor narration Stories were mostly good but reader should not quit his day job. There were only 5 stories

Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box Audiobook by Mira Grant

Title: Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box Author: Mira Grant Narrator: Mira Grant Format: Unabridged Length: 22 mins Language: English Release date: 06-21-11 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 172 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A new short story from Mira Grant, the author of Feed. Every week five friends get together to play a game - a game they call the Apocalypse Game. It's a fun time, with chips and beer and plotting the end of the world. Except this time, one of them is missing - and the stakes are higher than ever before. Members Reviews: Fun Short Story Any additional comments? Interesting Short story. Enjoyed the twist on the Apocalyptic genre. Was quite impressed with the author's narration. Seems Mira Grant can do it all. A Game I Don't Want to Play. Maybe. Would you consider the audio edition of Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box to be better than the print version? I think I would prefer the print version, just so I could have read it slower to digest it more. Who was your favorite character and why? Probably the narrator of the game. Rita gave a really good performance for her. Have you listened to any of Mira Grants other performances before? How does this one compare? Haven't heard anything else from her. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I think I did listen to the whole thing in one drive. Pretty short, but the perfect length. Any additional comments? The only thing I would have liked (and it may have been in there, but I missed it due to being tired) was a little more explanation of The Game's rules in general. Not for this specific scenario, but just in general, as they had played it for years and should have concrete, established rules. What was the goal of The Game? How were winners determined? Are the players trying to figure out just how to survive the apocalyptic scenarios, or to stop them? I ask this because this sounds like a game I would like to play. An interesting short story Certainly an interesting short story and if it was fleshed out more it could have been a great novel. I Wanted More If you could sum up Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box in three words, what would they be? Edge of seat What does Mira Grant bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She wrote the story so she knew the characters. As she read the text she brought them to life and made me care about them and forget that they were not real. If you could rename Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box, what would you call it? Nothing, I love the title! Any additional comments? Great short story I would love to have more the scenarios done as stories or for a squeal to find out what the group decided. Well Done! Very thought provoking with a Twilight Zone feel at the end. Mira Grant is an amazing author and the narration was flawless. Nice to hear an author reading her own work, and doing it well!

Title: 13 Nightmares Author: Dennis McDonald Narrator: Michael Rubino Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 05-04-16 Publisher: Dennis McDonald Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Thirteen tales of original terror penned in the dead of the night with only the glow of a computer for light. The collection of short stories runs the gamut of horror. Within its bloody minutes you will find a slasher clown, a blood red church, a little girl locked in a closet, a haunted sex doll, etc. 13 Nightmares is a fine collection of terror for the short story lover, but be warned. Some of these stores are not for the faint of heart. Do you dare enter a world where the supernatural, the macabre, and the horrific collide? Members Reviews: Couldn't stop listening... I thought this book was thrilling, suspenseful, vivid and it reminded me of the Twilight Zone. The voice of the voice actor really brought the stories to life. I would definitely want to get an audiobook again from this author. Rollercoaster ride!!!! Would you listen to 13 Nightmares again? Why? Absolutely would read this again. What was one of the most memorable moments of 13 Nightmares? Mr Beasley killing Sarah's horrible abusive aunt I almost cheered LOL What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Narrator read the stories with real interest and brought life to each character. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Pulse pounding original horror. Any additional comments? The stories come to life one by one. inky black What did you like best about 13 Nightmares? What did you like least? I like the originality of the stories they were interesting, but not scary. Also some of the endings were predictable. Who was your favorite character and why? I can't recall names, but I will say that the stories got better as they went along. How did the narrator detract from the book? I don't think he was good for the horror genre, he didn't let you know the story was finished. Not many changes in the voice, or if he changed his voice to show a new character talking, he sometimes wouldn't revert back to the voice when that character was talking, like in that cockroach story. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Only if there was a MST3K Version Any additional comments? I give the author a lot of credit, writing short stories with different twist is not incredibly easy. Great job! This book was really scary but I still could not stop listening! Narrator did a great job playing each short story and character! Overall great book and listen! Loved it every story kept me wanting more..i wish it had more stories! i love every bit

As soon as he was back, Jess found himself embroiled in two suspicious deaths, emotional turmoil with his family, and a supernatural secret that involved them all. The best Welcome Home he received? Winding up in an unmarked grave in the middle of the Coachella Desert. In a tale that spreads from the California Desert to the jungles of Mexico and a town that time has practically forgotten, Descending Son is rooted in the sins of Jess's past and a future that threatens his life. Sure, Jess can go home again, but there's a heavy price to pay. Members Reviews: Easy listen I liked that it was pg rated. The narrator was great. The story was good but predictable. Enjoyable enough to mow 4.5 acres of lawn to. It would be a good trip listen. Unexpected What made the experience of listening to Descending Son the most enjoyable? It was a good story and a good reader What did you like best about this story? The plot did thicken as it went on Which character as performed by Nick Podehl was your favorite? The father Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No Any additional comments? It would have been nice to know that it was eventually a sci-fi book. I don't typically like those types of books and I really thought this book (based on the summary) was a regular book about human characters instead of ghouls

Paul Wilson Narrator: Christopher Price Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 331 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Repairman Jack, F. Paul Wilsons vigilante hero first seen in the New York Times best seller The Tomb, returns in a thriller that thrusts Jack back into the weird, supernatural world that he thrives in. Looking for clues to the mysterious disappearance of leading conspiracy theorist Melanie Ehler, Jack attends a convention of bizarre and avid conspiracy theorists. Its a place where aliens are real, the government is out to get you, and the world is hurtling toward an inevitable war of good versus evil incarnate. Jack finds that nobody can be trusted - and that few people are what they seem. Worse yet, Jacks been having vivid dreams that make him wonder whether hes headed for a clash with his own past - maybe The Tombs evil rakoshi beasts arent through with him quite yet. Critic Reviews: "The Tomb is one of the best all-out adventure stories Ive read in years." (Stephen King [president of the Repairman Jack fan club]) Members Reviews: Kooks, freaks, geeks, and Oh yeah....Jack Would you listen to Conspiracies again? Why? Yes. I love sensible Jack having to go undercover as an alien abduction "experiencer" to solve his case. The truth is so much stranger than anyone realizes. What was one of the most memorable moments of Conspiracies? When the Christian woman makes him hold a cross in his hand to prove that he is not in league with the Devil and it takes every ounce of self-control that Jack has to not roll around on the floor and pretend to be in extreme pain. I love his boyish sense of humor. What about Christopher Prices performance did you like? When the narrator does good, I get so caught up in the story that I don't even think about their performance. Any additional comments? Great series. Start with "The Tomb" and keep going. Thank you Audible for bringing all the Repairman Jack series to us loyal members. I'm done with Repairman Jack I Jack has "lost me." I recognize and appreciate Wilson's imagination, but Jack has lost his sense of humor ... and all connection to reality. This story has several cons I can't get past: 1. Very violent. Yes, I know they've all been violent, but this one seemed to go into overdrive. 2. Waaay too many coincidences. Wilson got away with them (IMHO) until this book. I experienced entirely too many "Wait... what?" moments. 3. I get that these books are dark, but this one is unrelenting. Jack's sense of humor is gone (it's the only way I can describe it.) This book takes itself VERY seriously. Then... it just ended. There was no conclusion - no tying up of loose ends - no sense of completion. It just stopped. And when I thought, "What am I willing to endure in order to find out what happens next?" the answer was, "Nothing." Repairman Jack is a great character whose potential is squandered in favor of boogymen and blood. Rmj is the best Just jack. He will warm your hart and tear out the ones that come close to hurting his and the ones he loves. The best combination of supernatural and thriller and kick ass off the grid fixit guy. Not the appliance type of repairs. If you have a problem and no one else can help you. Call repairman jack. If you are a fan of the nowhere man you will love jack. He is the original fix it guy. Good in his core bad to all that get on his way. Love this series This is my favorite series.

Title: Borne Author: Jeff VanderMeer Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A novel that is simultaneously harrowing, dark, dangerous, funny and uplifting from the author of the Southern Reach trilogy. 'Am I a person?' Borne asks Rachel, in extremis. 'Yes, you are a person,' Rachel tells him. 'But like a person, you can be a weapon, too.' A ruined city of the future lives in fear of a despotic, gigantic flying bear, driven mad by the tortures inflicted on him by the Company, a mysterious biotech firm. A scavenger, Rachel, finds a creature entangled in his fur. She names it Borne. At first Borne looks like nothing at all - a green lump that might be a discard from the Company. But he reminds Rachel of her homeland, an island nation long lost to rising seas, and she prevents her lover, Wick, from rendering down Borne as raw genetic material for the special kind of drugs he sells. But nothing is quite the way it seems: not the past, not the present, not the future. If Wick is hiding secrets, so is Rachel - and Borne most of all. What Rachel finds hidden deep within the Company will change everything and everyone. There, lost and forgotten things have lingered and grown. What they have grown into is mighty indeed. Critic Reviews: Borne he continues his investigation into the malevolent grace of the world, and it's a thorough marvel." (Colson Whitehead) Praise for the Southern Reach Trilogy: "I'm loving the Southern Reach Trilogy.... Creepy and fascinating." (Stephen King) "Hauntingly weird and brilliantly new.... These are contemporary masterpieces and career-defining novels." (Adam Robert, Books of the Year, The Guardian) Members Reviews: There May Be Hope... I love Jeff VanderMeer's mind - his imagination is extraordinary. He writes beautifully, and empathically, and although Borne is set in a bleak and frightening a post apocalyptic landscape it ends on a note of profound optimism. This lyrical, hopeful book asks: What is consciousness? What is a person? What is it to be human and non human? VanderMeer explores profound issues of identity in a novel which is superbly structured, with not a word out of place, with characters that matter to the reader, and with a message of redemption. All this, and it's read perfectly, gorgeously, by Bahni Turpin. Personally I couldn't ask for more. amazing i was so connected to the characters that i didn't want to say goodbye at the end. i had happy sad tears. i didn't want it to end but i was also very content which is hard to do... very clever and meaningful book... thank you Jeff VanderMeer x Good idea just awfully executed Terrible book about being a rubbish Mum badly written and no really story you think its building to something then it ends as depressing and boring as it started bourne was the only good thing in the book and is over shadowed but the whining and pointless story of Racheal DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME I really enjoyed Borne I really enjoyed Borne. If you like weird and wonderful Sci Fi then this is for you.

So Cold the River Audiobook by Michael Koryta

Title: So Cold the River Author: Michael Koryta Narrator: Robert Petkoff Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-10 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 561 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: It started with a documentary. The beautiful Alyssa Bradford approaches Eric Shaw to unearth the life story of her father-in-law, Campbell Bradford, a 95-year-old billionaire whose childhood is wrapped in mystery. Eric grabs the job, even though the only clues to Bradford's past are his hometown and an antique water bottle he's kept his entire life. In Bradford's hometown, Eric discovers an extraordinary past - a glorious domed hotel where movie stars, presidents, athletes, and mobsters once intermingled. Long derelict, the hotel has just been restored to its former grandeur. But something else has been restored, too - a long-forgotten evil that will stop at nothing to settle a decades-old score. And with every move, Eric inches closer to the center of the building storm. Editorial Reviews: Brooding, grainy-voiced Shakespearean stage actor Robert Petkoff narrates So Cold the River, mystery novelist Michael Koryta's icy, supernatural ghost story set in a rural Indiana town built on Pluto Water, a bottled mineral laxative of the early 1900s rumored to cure headaches, indigestion, even alcoholism. Petkoff haunts as cynical, broken Eric Shaw, a failed Hollywood documentary filmmaker who slumps home to Chicago, gets dumped by wife Claire, and starts stringing together freelance photo chronicles for weddings and funerals: "Video life portraits, that's what he called them, an attempt to lend some credibility to what was essentially a glorified slide show." Oh, and Eric also connects with dead peoples' personal belongings. Evil snarls from the grave when grieving Alyssa Bradford hires Eric to shoot an homage to her secretive, dying 95-year-old billionaire father-in-law, Campbell. First assignment - capturing Campbell's humble roots near sparsely populated French Lick, Indiana, where Eric lodges at the improbably located luxury West Baden Springs Hotel (a real registered national historic landmark). But not even its soaring atrium dome can shade him from the rotten-egg stench of sulfur. As Eric keeps digging, an 80-year-old bottle of Pluto Water from Campbell's collection frosts, turning murky, while weather patterns predict a violent storm. He takes a sip of Pluto, and the hallucinations spin - shadows in rumpled suits, railroad trains, and violin strains pouring from a piano. At least Claire believes him. Petkoff softens Eric with undercurrents of grit and exhaustion, so even when he's hysterical with foreshadowing, he's still grounded. The character of Anne McKinney, octogenarian widow and de facto Pluto historian, studies barometric pressure. Fittingly, her voice guides the book's emotional climate. Practical yet nostalgic, Anne nurses a daily gin and tonic at the local bar. Petkoff recognizes she's a creature of habit and tracks her quirky moods with the same steady hum. Eventually the rituals of her chuckles and her leisurely breaks and pauses stop making a difference as the past fades the present into black. - Critic Reviews: "A cataclysmic finale will put readers in mind of some of the best recent works of supernatural horror, among which this book ranks." (Publishers Weekly) "This book builds like a summer storm. Beautiful to watch until it shakes the house and knocks out the lights, leaving you alone in the dark.

The Secret of Crickley Hall Audiobook by James Herbert

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Secret of Crickley Hall Author: James Herbert Narrator: David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-04-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 197 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: There is an old, empty house in Devil's Cleave, a deep gorge that leads from the high moors down to the harbour village of Hollow Bay. The house is Crickley Hall and it's large and grim, somehow foreboding. It's rumoured to be haunted. It's thought to hold a secret. Despite some reservations, the Caleighs move in, searching for respite in this beautiful part of North Devon, seeking peace and perhaps to come to terms with what's happened to them as a family. But all is not well with the house. They hear unaccountable noises. A cellar door they shut every night is always open again in the morning. They see things that cannot be real. The house is the last place the Caleighs should have come to, for the terror that unfolds is beyond belief. Soon they will discover the secret horror of Crickley Hall.... Members Reviews: The SECRETS of Crickley Hall The book should be called "The Secrets of Crickley Hall" as there is much to find out about this depressing and creepy vacation home. Herbert's dark and stormy night tale of tragedy and suspense is narrated perfectly by Rintoul. I found Rintoul's narration in some parts bordering on theatrical, I would score it as 4.5 if we could give half stars. The story has many layers which made it a "page turner" for me. Overall a great ghost story. Great old-fashioned ghost story I don't seek out ghost stories too often -- nothing ever seems to equal Susan Hills's "The Woman in Black" -- the audiobook, not the film. Ghost stores just don't get any better than that. But this one comes close. I'm not sure why I decided to take a chance on it, but I like creepy old houses, especially if a ghost or two might linger, so that was probably it. Glad I did -- I should have known this would be good. James Herbert also wrote "The Fog" and I remember reading that decades ago, and afterward, that book came to mind every single day when the tule fog overtook the Sacramento Valley and I had to navigate around in it. That's a seriously frightening book, too. "Secrets" also has none of the things I don't like in a scary story, which is to say, I don't like stories that merge into science fiction. These are actual ghosts in this book -- real ghosts -- ha! -- not alien creatures or dragons or man-made monsters, or any of that sort of thing. There are truly creepy moments aplenty -- although why people who are already unnerved by odd happenings decide to explore the basement is always beyond me, although I suppose if they didn't, there wouldn't be a book. Special praise for the narrator, David Rintoul -- he must have burned up a thousand calories an hour narrating this. It's a high-energy narration, but in a good way. Just very well done. Highly recommended. And three cheers for Chester -- a real trouper! Perfect Ghost Story!! What made the experience of listening to The Secret of Crickley Hall the most enjoyable? David Rintoul is an amazing narrator! Such an engaging listen. I will definitely seek out his books. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Can't wait for the BBC show! Any additional comments? Enthralling ghost story and a wonderful narrator. A definite "page turner, edge of your seat" kind of book. Loved it! Wickedly well done haunting I really enjoyed this tale. The narration was awesome.

Firewalk Audiobook by Chris Roberson

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Firewalk Author: Chris Roberson Narrator: R. C. Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Izzie Lefevre was the newest investigator for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit when she first came to Recondito, a coastal city that's been shrouded in mystery and legend for centuries. Local law enforcement had requested the Bureau's assistance in hunting a sword-wielding serial killer who'd left a dozen mutilated bodies in his wake. Patrick Tevake was a local homicide detective assigned to the taskforce, and together he and Izzie managed to track down and stop the killer before he claimed another victim. Five years later, Izzie and Patrick remain haunted by what the killer said before he fell in a hail of gunfire. Izzie's ancestors were "mambos", voodoo priestesses who claimed to communicate with the dead and protect the faithful from evil spirits. Patrick's Polynesian great uncle told stories of Recondito's supernatural menaces that lurk in flame and shadow. The killer's last words have brought up a past both Izzie and Patrick thought they'd long since left behind, and neither has been able to shake the feeling that their case was never completely solved. Critic Reviews: "While this series launch would appeal to any thriller fan, the terrific pacing and detailed police work mixed with supernatural elements means that Roberson's novel will serve well horror and urban fantasy fans alike." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Started out as an interesting take on supernatural/"scientific" story First of all, I would have probably rated this higher if I had known up front that this book is the first in a series. And I had no clue until almost the end of the book that there wasn't going to be closure to the story. And I fringing hate that. This book could have worked very well as a standalone. It could have been trimmed up front and had an actual ending put on it instead of a cliffhanger. I was enjoying the story and I usually don't read books that are about what I call "woo-woo" supernatural themes. But this blended some science and some science fiction in and I was liking the path the story was taking. And I liked the main characters - a cop, a medical examiner, and two FBI agents. It just fell all to pieces about 90% into the story. I guess the second book FIREWALKERS is due out in 2018 and I have no desire to keep reading the series. I received this book from Night Shade News through Edelweiss in exchange for my unbiased review. Incredible novel from the creator of Izombie Absolutely the best piece of zombie-fiction Iâve encountered.Â Donât be put off if you arenât into zombies, Firewalk is a first class science fiction crime novel that stands far apart from the plethora of zombie novels cluttering shelves.Â It is a nice blending of investigative fiction and paranormal suspense successful both as a stand alone novel and as the first of a series. Five years ago Special Agent Izzie Lefevre nearly lost her light pursuing a serial killer, the Recondito Reaper.Â The pursuit ended in his death, but Detective Patrick Tevake, who worked with Izzie on the case has called her back as evidence from his recent drug case seems connected.

Red Equinox Audiobook by Douglas Wynne

Title: Red Equinox Author: Douglas Wynne Narrator: Susan Saddler Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-16 Publisher: Journalstone Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The Red Equinox has dawned, and the old gods who have slept for aeons are stirring. Urban explorer and photographer Becca Philips was raised in the shadow of Miskatonic University, steeped in the mysteries of her late grandmother's work in occult studies. But what she thought was myth becomes all too real when cultists unleash terror on the city of Boston. Now she's caught between a shadowy government agency called SPECTRA and the followers of an apocalyptic faith bent on awakening an ancient evil. As urban warfare breaks out between eldritch monsters and an emerging police state, she must uncover the secrets of a family heirloom known as the Fire of Cairo to banish the rising tide of darkness before the balance tips irrevocably at the Red Equinox. Members Reviews: Original spin on modern-day Lovecraft Where does Red Equinox rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It was definitely among the better Audible purchases in my library. She gave Becca a solid voice and kept the narrative smooth throughout. What other book might you compare Red Equinox to and why? This is a hard comparison to make. You can't fairly compare this to Stross' Laundry files because those have a more comedic bent than this. If I had to draw a nearest comparison to another title I'd choose Howard's Carter & Lovecraft. Great characters that engaged you. The Mythos tales don't update very easily, but Wynne pulls off a believable heroine facing an avatar/harbinger of Nyarlathotep in a 'modern' Boston. I was hesitant with the clandestine agency (SPECTRA) at first, but that is also played well. Have you listened to any of Susan Saddlers other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my first go-round with Sadler as a reader, but I enjoyed the performance quite a bit. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Dread, but not for anything other than the dread commonly induced by good cosmic horror. The urban exploration stuff had me on the edge of my seat. Well done. Any additional comments? A great tale. Kudos Audible and Journalstone for a smooth performance of this story. Looking quite forward to seeing the sequel (Black January) in this series on Audible. Highly recommended! the narrator sounds horrible.. seriously! she sounds like a cracked out saturday cartoon character gulping helium after smoking enough crack to kill a blue whale. then played at high speeds. i keep losing track of whats going on in the story because shes gking so fast with so few pauses that it all seems like one giant run on sentence, no pauses between sections or scene changes. and in an attempt to make the characters distinct they all have these horribly done stereotypical accents at a shrill screech just below a badly tuned bandsaw running against a chalkboard. im not using hyperbola when i say its just like a bad saturday morning cartoon. Not the best narrator while the story was very good, the voices the narrator chose for many of the characters did sound appropriate for a horror story. some did not even match the accents of the area the area the character was from. Solid modern-Cthulhu Mythos for any Lovecraft fan Wynne's Red Equinox is a satisfying and fun read. Initially, the story does begin slow, but not in a boring way. Wynne spends an appropriate amount of time developing a solid first act and introducing the readers to his diverse group of characters.

But hes about to change that tune In the borough of Queens, just across the river from Manhattan, two clever practitioners of spiritualist hocus-pocus use high-tech tricks to dupe their marks. Perhaps theyre too good: theyve lured too many clients from other mediums and are now under attack. Unable to go to the police for fear of exposing their own scams, they hire Repairman Jack to fix their problem. Jack takes the job, figuring hell straighten out the situation through one of his favorite pastimes: scamming a scammer. But soon he learns that this fix-it job may involve more than just professional jealousies. A sudden earthquake and a tortured scream mark the awakening of something in Menelaus Manor, something that used to be someone - an entity full of rage that was brought back for a specific purpose. But this entity has an agenda of its own.... Critic Reviews: Call a plumber when the sink is clogged, the cops when youve been robbed, but when the you-know-what hits the fan, its time to call Repairman Jack....[The Haunted Air] shakes, rattles and rolls. (New York Daily News) Members Reviews: These are amazing. Where's this guy been hiding. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. I'm not sure how I came across F.Paul Wilson, but I'm so glad I did. I love it when I find a good - no great - author & he turns out to have written 12 books in one series. I love Repairman Jack & I love the combination of fiction/supernatural/thriller which are my faves & I LOVE the fact that there are TWELVE books to read. I'm getting a bit worried though as I'm up to to book 6. Only 6 more to go. Then, god willing, with a bit of luck, ill find another great series What other book might you compare The Haunted Air to and why? He can easily keep up with Dean Koonz & Stephen King & that's saying something. He perhaps better than Peter Straub. What about Christopher Prices performance did you like? He's very good although he doesn't change his voice much like some readers, you still get the different characters & the tension is there when needed. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Neither -I just loved it. An hour before a book is due to finish, I down load the next & I'm ready to start the next book when the Audible voice over at the end of the book starts. I'm ready to start the next book straight away. Any additional comments? I've said it all. These are must-read books. I've missed my favorite tv shows cause I just can't stop listening. Awesome Keeps getting better and better. The story gets more interesting and complex. Simply a must read My favorite repairman jack! Wilson is growing in skill. Others Amy say the plot is contrived and too well placed to be reality. But the addition of "no coincidences" rules that out. Plenty of plot twists. And very much enjoy the differing flavor of this book compared to his previous works in this series. Very well orated as well. All around great title. Jack's the man I liked this book very much. Many times I felt I was right there in the middle. Repairman Jack Light reading and very entertaining. This book was enough to make me want to try the whole Repairman Jack series.

The narrators guide recounts the experience which turned his raven-black hair white in a day. Hop-FrogA pain wracked dwarf bears continual humiliation as the court jester at the hands of his captor owners. The Man of the CrowdA day in the life of a man whose obsession is people watching. Some Words With a MummyThe storyteller is invited to the examination of an ancient mummy by a team of experts, but it is suddenly brought back to life. The SphinxA journey into the mind of one who visits a relative, only to experience a vision foretelling his own doom. The Murders in the Rue MorgueAn account of a bizarre crime accompanied by the grotesque, hideously violent murders of several people. The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor FetherAs this peculiar, often comedic story progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for a visitor to a madhouse to distinguish between the sane and the insane. Shadow: A ParableThis very dark and forbidding writing speaks of our fears of the unknown and nameless threats and terrors that feed upon our doubts and our uncertainties. Silence: A FableThis short work capsulizes the ability of the human soul to better withstand the forces of nature and life. Editorial Reviews: Featuring 10 of Poe's most infamous and twisted tales, The Edgar Allan Poe Collection II is a staple for any fan of Edgar Allan Poe's dark stories of madness and horror. David Ian Davies gives a chilling performance in this compendium of terror. Thrilling and sinister, Davies' voice is perfectly suited for these disturbing scenes of torture and madness. It's uncanny the way Davies is able to evoke and amplify the feelings of mystery and suspense present in Poe's work. Members Reviews: Pure enjoyment This collection is most enjoyable to listen to..One story is as pleasing as another -- I would seek out this narrator and enjoy more of his work... Divinely listenable.. A narrator unworthy of the stories I have never written a negative review for audible before, but this selection tested the limits of my endurance. The only reason I give one star to this collection is that I cannot give any less. I adore Poe; he is my favorite American author. These stories are among his best. The narration, on the other hand, is painful! Poe's stories are liberally laced with French and Latin, with an occasional German phrase. It is essential that the narrator know how to pronounce the words, at the very least. In style, the narration is rushed, sentence upon sentence, without any dramatic pacing or pausing, as if the reader is trying to get it over with. Halfway through I felt as if I had been listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. I persevered, but will never get anything else from this narrator. Poe is worthy of much better than this. Please go elsewhere for your Poe readings if you value his work. Some great tales Some of Poe's best works are to be found in this anthology of tales. Included is a tale of detective work that would do Sherlock Holmes Proud ("The Murders in the Rue Morgue"), an introspective of man's quirks and faults ("Some Words with a Mummy"), and two excellent tales of revenge ("The Cask of Amontillado" and my personal favorite "Hop Frog") that will terrify and amaze you.

Stay quiet, stay alive, but most of all, stay away from the dead. Robert Watts was just a regular family man until a terrible accident changed his life forever. The world, as he knew it, doesn't exist; there is another world, just scratching at the surface. And these scratches are getting deeper, the separation between good and evil more tenuous, the distinction between living and dead less defined. And Robert finds himself stuck in the middle of it all - right in the middle. Torn between two worlds, Robert finds himself chasing his past as well as his future, putting not only his own family in jeopardy, but every living, breathing person on Earth. Robert's accident was only the beginning.... The Haunted Series is a terrifying ghost story with a twist you will never see coming! Members Reviews: INTERESTING STORY, BUT... Enjoyed the story...will probably continue with the series, but the narrator leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. And his characterization of the female lead, Shelley...YIKES. I really have a problem with the narrator with her...the other characters are fine, but his narration of her really grated on my nerves. The narration of this story could have been so much better. Awful Narration The story itself was ok, not my favorite book but I feel it would have been better if I read it myself. The narration was awful, especially SHELLY. The voice for her was reminiscent of Dane Cooks "Screw guys I just want to dance", and I was thoroughly annoyed by it. Why did he make her so snotty? I wanted someone to slap her, but I know its not the books fault it was the reader. I almost stopped listening just for that alone. The rest of the voices weren't too bad but there were clearly only a few that could be done and a lot of them repeated. Book 2 was by far my favorite of the group. I couldn't finish the 3rd one, it lost my interest fast. Book 1 was amazing! Book 1 When I first got this series on Audible, I was looking for a good ghost series. I love some good scary books that can keep my attention as I love to listen to books as I work. It makes me super productive. Boy did I score on this point! The beginning of this book really threw me for a loop. I was actually hesitant at first because of the beginning. DO NOT LET THE BEGINNING STOP FROM YOU FROM LISTENING TO THIS BOOK! The beginning of this book opens up to an amazing story, amazing characters, and an amazing world of paranormal. Do not get me wrong. It is not a documentary. It is a book of characters, paranormal, and all the goodies that go bump in the night. OK just kidding on the bump in the night. It is not that kind of paranormal. It is a great story though. I am SO excited to start book 2. I am SO happy that book 1 was so long. (I do not know how long book 1 was from an audio point of view. I did not even look. It feels like it lasted a good amount of time and I love that!!!). I honestly feel that it covered the story in the perfect time frame. I do not feel it was rushed or drug out at all. All the elements were covered, and I did not feel that anything was left unanswered. I give this book a SOLID 5 stars hands down.

At the same time he has his own investigation to worry about: young people are dying, apparently committing suicide - and they're all linked by the phrase Chaos in the Darkness, scrawled or sent as their last message to the world. Then he's given a note from his dead brother Christian, written before his murder: the three words - They took Luke - opens up a whole new can of worms, because Cass knows immediately who They are: Mr Bright and the shadowy Network. His dead brother has set him a task from beyond the grave - to find the baby, his nephew, stolen at birth. And as Cass tries to divide his time between all three investigations, it's not long before he discovers links, where there should not be. The mysterious Mr Bright is once again pulling his strings, and there's nothing DI Cass Jones hates more... Sarah Pinborough was born in Buckinghamshire, and now lives just a few miles away, after a childhood spent travelling all over the world (her father, now retired, was a diplomat). When she was eight she packed her trunk and left the Middle East for a ten-year stretch in boarding school. The memories provide her with much material for her horror and supernatural thrillers... Members Reviews: Disappointed I bought these books because of the great work the author did in Behind Her Eyes however this had so much profanity and so many disturbing aspects that I was really disappointed and didn't enjoy it at all. Brilliant entrapping thriller I can't wait to get the next book, it is full of twists and turns, two plots running side by side, and occasionally colliding together. Brilliant.

Aside from being freakishly tall, Joe is just an ordinary divorcee taking his son, Danny, to the zoo for his weekend of custody. Everything is going great until a bizarre snake attack sends everybody in the zoo running for cover. It isn't long before Joe realizes that there is a lot more going on than a simple snake attack. And if the hungry lions, roaring gorillas and charging elephants now free from their cages have anything to say about it, there is more bloodshed to come. All of the world's animals are attacking, and no one knows why. What they do know is that man is now on the bottom of the food chain. Members Reviews: Good Story of Animals and Humans Behaving Badly Nothing deep or complex here. Tight plot, action and human drama all within the confines of a British zoo. Well written and a decent performance. Brutal, yet entertaining!!! Of course it is!!!! Any additional comments? SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT. I expected nothing the best from Mr. Wright and he delivered brilliantly!! A reviewer summed up the characters perfectly.... Vix Kirkpatrick... "Joe is good man, his character is flawed and has the IRW usual aspects of heroism laced just enough with, WTF to make him believable. Grace I found irritating, especially at the end. Bill was lovely and I think he could have played a bigger part. Shirley the necessary "nut job" was on hand at all the right moments, not enough back story on her. Mason? hmmmm a waste of space for me." Perfect!!! Two complaints: 1. Victor and Randall...too predictable and soooo boring! I prefer bad guys in this type of story to take me by surprise. I knew they were bad so it was no surprise what they did. 2. Why does everyone always have to die? I automatically know which characters will survive, which dulls a story just a bit. I can honestly count on two hands how many times a story has shocked me by not being predictable in that aspect. Overall: An amazing performer, narrating an amazing suspenseful, brutal, entertaining story from an awesome author (I really do love his stories)! Having them on audibles is a bonus! FANTABULOUS........... I really enjoyed this book, except for the killing off the animals, lol. In my opinion, this was a really well written story, well rounded and very captivating. I cheered, I cussed, I routed, I giggled, I wss sad, I was really drawn in. Imagine being I a zoo with your child when all hell breaks loose.

We all have to face our demons at some point. Psychic Surveys - specialists in domestic spiritual clearance - have never been busier. Although exhausted, Ruby is pleased. Her track record, as well as her down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach, inspires faith in the haunted, who willingly call on her high street consultancy when the supernatural takes hold. But that's all about to change. Two cases prove trying: 44 Gilmore Street, home to a particularly violent spirit, and the reincarnation case of Elisha Grey. When Gilmore Street attracts press attention, matters quickly deteriorate. Dubbed the "New Enfield", the ghost of Gilmore Street inflames public imagination, but as Ruby and the team fail repeatedly to evict the entity, faith in them wavers. Dealing with negative press, the strangeness surrounding Elisha, and a spirit that's becoming increasingly territorial, Ruby's at breaking point. So much is pushing her towards the abyss, not least her own past. It seems some demons just won't let go.... Members Reviews: Hauntings with a difference These books are so full of life and characters. Theyre a mile a minute & the people in them are brilliant. Ruby who runs the business, Ness & Theo who balance things out, who if Im honest are my favourite characters. The interactions are fab. The story this time had a kick to it that really got me going! I didnt expect it to go the way it did. Really good!! The narrator was lovely, a calm voice that kept me interested. In fact I listen at work & talk during the stories not these I pause these. Cant miss a bit. Excellent & well worth your credit or money

Then, with the sudden, unexplained death of Michael's friend, a disturbing truth dawns: the corporation that is funding Katharine's dig has a far greater investment than she ever imagined - an investment in medical terror. And her son may be part of their hideous plan. Members Reviews: Not good What disappointed you about The Presence? I managed to listen to the whole thing, but I found myself wishing it would be over about halfway through. What was most disappointing about John Sauls story? This was not, as implied, a supernatural story and I still have no idea what the titular "presence" was supposed to have been. Rather it was an awful attempt at a medical thriller a la Michael Crichton. Characters weren't developed at all and I found myself just not caring what happened. I have read and listened to a number of John Saul novels and generally like his work. Do yourself a favor and skip this one! What do you think the narrator could have done better? The male narrator did not do a good job with the female protagonist's dialog: he made her sound whiny and annoying. Likewise with the Hawaiian and Japanese accents. Good story though a little confusing at times This was a good listen over all. Very original in theme and he characters where interesting and believable.dragged in a few places and was a little confusing at times but worth he credits. Great book! Awesome story! Loved it. I would recommend this book to anyone... Awesome story, great performance. worth reading. Love john Saul's work I loved this book hope there are more like it. And the narrator had such a great speaking tone. it was ok the story was slow. not very exciting. took a long time to finish. needed more excitment

Twenty years later, the boy, now grown, flees the wreckage of his life and returns to Arden, Wisconsin, in search of everything he has lost. But for Miles Teagarden, the landscape he knew so well has turned eerie and threatening. And the love he shared has become very, very deadly.... Critic Reviews: "Electrifying." (Stephen King) "Compulsive reading.... Marvelous atmosphere, suspense, and a truly grand guignol ending." (Dorothy Eden, author of Sleep in the Woods) "Straub is terrifyingly accomplished in the art of horror." (Entertainment Weekly) Members Reviews: If you could see me now This book was slow moving and the characters were unlikable so I did not connect with the story well. I had to force myself to finish because I did t care what happened...not a book I would recommend but it was not a bad book..just not for me. Great story but.... Great story, intense characters....but a very lame ending. I was highly disappointed by the way it turned out, and wonder if the author just got tired? Very good shape I really like the way Straub weaves his story and keeps the suspense going up to the end, I do believe the ending could have been a little more in-depth, I won't throw any spoilers in here, read the book and you'll understand what I mean! LoL HARD TO REVIEW There's a really good book hidden in here. If you skip over parts where the author goes off on boring tangents, you find an interesting book. Here's an interesting story of an encounter 20 years earlier which changed many lives after. Intriguing & creepy. I actually liked it better than the book it follows. Very creepy 'haunting' story, very interesting resolution. I didn't quite see the point of the flashback/romance.

Saving Grace When CJ Ryan's girlfriend decides life is less complicated without him, CJ travels a destructive path into despair, walking the line between what's right and what feels good. But what feels good is a dangerous slope to travel, especially when Lucifer wages war for his soul. One wrong step and CJ could fall into the devil's trap, becoming no better than the demons he battles. 2. Raven Heart CJ Ryan still can't remembered a thing about his past, but he is determined to have a future with Valerie. Despite his lack of memory, he finds himself ensnared in the cutthroat world of entertainment whether he wants it or not. The push into the spotlight shines a harsh glare on his family and brings with it a plague of horrors that drag him to the edge. 2. Trinity's Wrath CJ Ryan's life seems to have fallen into place, and while the backdrop of his Hawaiian honeymoon provides the perfect healing elixir, the guilt of sentencing his father to an eternity of torture at Lucifer's hands starts to intrude on his happily ever after. When he and Valerie return from Hawaii, a note from the king of hell greets him, outlining in sickening detail his plans for CJ and those he holds dearest. 4. Angel Blood Someone is murdering people, draining them dry, and the police suspect it may be a vampire. When the captain of the York police department turns to Tom Ryan and his paranormal investigation agency for help, Tom takes one look at the crime scene photos and knows the killer isn't a bloodsucker. 5. Angel Fire In the aftermath of his wife's death, Tom Ryan cannot breathe when his three-year-old daughter, Hannah, is out of his sight. His overprotectiveness falls into the realm of paranoia, born from the fear that Lucifer is not done with him yet. 6. Angel Fury Tom Ryan left York. He left everything he loves to safeguard the last angel descendants. Now he's back, still damned, still persecuted. Prophecy says York will burn, and everyone left who matters to Tom is in York. With no time to catch up and reconnect, Tom is thrust into a battle he's destined to lose. Members Reviews: Don't bother with this one! Horrible! I'm not sure if this was written by a college frat boy as an attempt at writing a "novel" for an English assignment or a 35 year old virgin from his mother's basement. Either way, the writers lack of social skills, proper grammatical training, or sexual experience is present with every line! I do not recommend these books unless you are a teenage boy or enjoy hours of mindless garble. Blaaa What disappointed you about The Ryan Chronicles Series: Books 1-6? Not interesting to me at all. Wasted my Audible credit on this one. Has The Ryan Chronicles Series: Books 1-6 turned you off from other books in this genre? I will not follow The Ryan Chronicle Series or other by this author in the future. Have you listened to any of Matt Armstrongs other performances before? How does this one compare? Matt Armstrong has done a fine job with his performance. I have not had an opportunity to experience other performances by him. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Can't think of a single one.

Consider yourself warned. How wrong could it go? Cassie knew exactly what she was looking for when she trawled the world of mobile dating to find the perfect man for an afternoon of rough, kinky fantasy. She only did this once a year, and this time it was going to be extra special. But, there was just one problem... Rich thinks he's hit the jackpot when he meets a hot older woman on a dating app. She's gorgeous and doesn't want any long term commitments, just an afternoon of no-strings-attached kinky fun - what could be better? But can he be man enough to tie her up and play the role of aggressor in her dark, twisted, and violent fantasy? But neither of them knew that things would all go so terribly, darkly, disturbingly wrong. Don't trust anyone Although this is an extreme horror book with graphic scenes of a sexual nature and violence, it is also at heart a compelling story beyond its bloody thrills. For those who like their horror visceral, but with compelling characters and a plot full of twists and turns to match the violence. Brought to you by Crowley Barns: The long-depraved but newly-published Barns Brother. Members Reviews: Feel like I wasted the credit I was really into the story at first but it just totally went flat for me after a few chapters. I made myself finish it since I used a credit on it. Also, The voice the narrator did for Cassie really took away from the story. Instead of an attractive young woman, all I envisioned was Norman Bate's mother.

Horn Narrator: Sophie Amoss Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Witching Savannah series comes the story of a young witch's quest to uncover her family's terrifying history... Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who've relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness - willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic's waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too - caged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine. Yet the more she seeks the truth about her family's troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mother's reach while determining the future of all witches. Members Reviews: Big Disappointment- Too meandering and not enough focus I didnt realize when I bought this book that it was the first in a trilogy and not a stand alone story. My last listen was a bust so I was really hoping for strong story that would hold my interest. This wasnt it. Although the premise for the story is nice, there are too many different points of view and wandering back and forth between characters for my taste. Also, the plot was way too slow to hold my interest in the cant put it down way that I was hoping for. This was slow as molasses and because the point of view kept changing it made the pace even slower and harder to follow. A few times I slipped back in the narrative because I thought I had missed something, but it was just another change of pov which made the story seem choppy and disjointed. I really didnt want to start another trilogy where the rest of the series isnt even written yet because I hate to be left hanging for how ever many years it takes the author to finish. But I would have been ok with that if the book itself made me want to continue with the rest of the story. This was too slow to make me consider another book by this author - thanks Audible for your return policy! Hoping my next listen is a winner. Generational Family of New Orleans Witches! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it was a very well written book that I liked so I know my friends would like as such. What was one of the most memorable moments of The King of Bones and Ashes? I think, several parts in the ending - but, I don't want to give that away. What does Sophie Amoss bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is a thoughtful narrator. And, I am glad she was chosen to narrate this book. Narrators need to have a way to make the characters blend, so you as the reader believe or get lost in the book - and I really did. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Things are not always as they seem to be, those bewitching ways.... Any additional comments? This is going to be another great series written by J.D. Horn!

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Be afraid. This unusual collection of true ghost stories and hauntings has been put together by Simon B. Murik, who is the son of a long line of mediums and sensitives originally from Eastern Europe. Many of the stories come from his own experiences, while others have been contributed by family members and those who have shared paranormal experiences and unexplained phenomenon with him. Here is a sampling of some of stories you will find in this book: The parents of a young girl who drowns in their backyard swimming pool have a painting made to keep her memory alive. The painting takes on a life of its own. A police detective meets the ghost of the last man he killed. Teenage girls playing with a Ouija Board late at night get far more answers than they were looking for. A poltergeist invades a man's apartment and leads him on a ridiculous treasure hunt. A workaholic executive staying late at night to finish a report has an "other worldly" experience that changes his life forever. If you enjoy true ghost stories, hearing about paranormal experiences and real haunted houses then you will love this book. Get ready for a few chills and goosebumps! Members Reviews: Blah The stories are not scary but are rather dull and boring. I have read scary/interesting stories on creepy pasta. Not my favorite Maybe the stories weren't all that bad, but I can't say that for sure... I was so distracted by the narrator's reading style/performance that I couldn't enjoy the stories completely. Not one of my favorites. Sorry! Spooky Collection of Ghostly Tales I was looking for something spooky for a Halloween read. I came across this set of books that looked interesting. It's the first book in a set from a famed author named Simon Murik. The stories told within are true tales shared with him that he has collected and published in this series of books. There is a wide range of tales from differing points of view. Some are frightening, others less so and more genuinely creepy. A perfect read for Halloween. Not terrifying, but definitely entertaining. I listened to the audio book as well while reading this. Narrator Joe Bronzi did an excellent job, with just the right touch of emphasis on each story. A great shorter read/listen. I'll be reading the next book in the series. it was alright I wasn't too keen on the voice of the narrator, his voice was too nasally and high pitched Great for Road trips! we really enjoyed these stories! On road trips we listen to them for entertainment, and these stories were actually really creepy!

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The latest book in the award-winning Black Knight Chronicles is a raucous ride through the city of Charlotte's seedy underbelly with the most unlikely crime lord ever. Jimmy Black's knack for stumbling into the right place at the wrong time has landed him his dream job or worst nightmare - Master Vampire of the City. Almost everyone that works for him wants him dead. His best friend isn't speaking to him. His girlfriend is now his ex-girlfriend. And the Vampire Council has appointed a watchdog who'll decide if he lives past Thursday. He has a kidnapping to solve, monsters and demons to fight, and a whole new crime empire to figure out. Then there's Lilith... . Join Jimmy as he tries to put his (un)life back together and stay alive long enough to save the world. Again. Author John G. Hartness is the Epic and Manly Wade Wellman Award-winning writer behind The Black Knight Chronicles from Bell Bridge Books, as well as the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter and Bubba the Monster Hunter series. In his copious free time, John enjoys long walks on the beach, rescuing kittens from trees, and playing Magic: the Gathering. Members Reviews: Awesome My only gripe about this series, is that the books aren't long enough.. I absolutely love this series and as the story goes on I gets even better..I love all of the characters and find myself invested in them....This book was action packed on so many levels and just an overall great journey from start to finish...Looking forward to the next book!!@ Great Story!! Great Series!! Any additional comments? Story totally pulls you in and you really get to like the characters. Wish the books would come out faster!!! great addition to series. outstanding performance loved it. was never a boring moment. excellent addition to the series. performance, as usual, was spot on. I'd put Mr russo in same league with Jeffrey kafer and Jeff hays, which says a lot. got a bit tacky in a deus ex machina sense at the end, but keep listening and u will understand how the author makes it not only necessary, but entirely appropriate in the context of the book Fun in Black Any additional comments? I'm a big fan of Hartness and this one didn't disappoint. His style of humor carries throughout the story, but doesn't get in the way of the plot. There is lots for our protagonist to do as he is now in charge. Plenty of action as several story lines come together. Narration is spot on as usual. Man Without Restraint What did you love best about Man in Black? Without getting into spoilers this is a John G Hartness novel. There is no status quo and everyone in extremis will react in surprising ways when the crap hits the fan just like real life. I love it. I hate it. I always on the edge of my seat and I love every minute of it even when I hate it. It's one hell of a ride every time. What did you like best about this story? Hartness always asks and answers a question in his novels and short story. The question that this story answers is what would Jimmy Black be like without his friends and family supporting/holding him back. Without spoiling the story we see a very different side of the character. I like it. What about Nick J. Russos performance did you like? Everyone has a unique voice that is well acted.

The Turn of the Screw Audiobook by Henry James

Title: The Turn of the Screw Author: Henry James Narrator: Simon Prebble, Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: One of the most daunting ghost stories to ever be written, Henry James' The Turn of the Screw follows the transformation of Miles (age 10) and Flora (age eight) from well-behaved children to deceitful liars. When a governess comes to their country estate to look after the children, she and Flora are separately visited by a ghost; however Flora denies the experience and Miles claims to never have been visited by one, even when evidence supports an evil plot between the children and the ghosts. Devoid of common ghost story stereotypes, this timeless story is full of suspense, supernatural phenomenon, and thrills to frighten and delight any listener. Members Reviews: Boring nonsense This was hard to get through. The language was archaic and difficult to follow. The plot was ridiculous. Iâve enjoyed other books by James and so wanted to give this one a chance. It just never delivered. It had a silly ambiguous ending so it really was not worth my while to finish it. A huge disappointment. Great story....old fashioned writing. I missed reading this story in my college English Lit. class. Great story....very old fashioned writing. The W. Wyler film "The Heiress" is the masterpiece. Ghosts or a troubled mind? The Turn of the Screw is a well-known Victorian ghost story written by Henry James, whose predominant characteristic is ambiguity. Some modern readers will be disappointed, because the thrilling scenes are very subtly recorded and the ghosts seem to be pretty harmless. Taking in consideration that we get only the governess's account of the story - within the manuscript - we cannot always take her seriously. This novella can be interpreted in two different ways: A) the ghosts truly exist and communicate with the two children, while the governess tries to protect them. B) only the governess sees the ghosts - these supernatural beings are hallucinations caused by the woman's unsatisfied love/sexual life. I find this psychoanalytic approach more appealing, because there are some fading allusions that she was in love with the master (the uncle of the children). For example, on the first evening she saw Quint seated up on the tower, she was daydreaming of encountering someone. Also, she sees Miss Jessel - the late governess - on the other side of the lake. (S. Freud considers water a symbol of the female gender.) the present governess might fantasise of her own desires through the two ghosts: Mrs Grose tells her that Quint and Miss Jessel had an affair and that he (probably) abused Miles. The governess's obsessions of seeing ghosts and of suspecting her pupils of lying or concealing the secret - that they are also visited often by the ghosts - will harm the children in different ways. Personally, I would like to read this book from Mrs Grose's or sombody else's perspective, in order to get a clearer view of what really happened. The Turn of the Screw - The Brilliance of Henry James In this gripping short story, James has presented the extreme belief of good of and evil of his time.. A young governess, doomed by her degree of education to serve in the homes of others teaching and taking care of their children, finds herself in a setting where she is mistress,. She is in a position to express her own goodness and love by protecting the children from evil, but she also needs recognition for this by her employer.

Title: The Darkening Author: Paul Antony Jones Narrator: Laura Copland Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-17 Publisher: Good Dog Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: From the author of the best-selling Extinction Point series "Where has everyone gone?" That's the question 15-year-old Annabelle 'Birdy' Finch is asking. As a 100-year storm descends on Los Angeles, Birdy's not the only one looking for answers to the city's vanishing population. A wheelchair-bound Army veteran watches the world from his apartment window, and what he sees terrifies him. An LA detective has two missing patrol cops, a bloody crime scene, but no bodies. A desperate mother will stop at nothing in her search to find her missing daughter. But the storm provides the perfect cover for an even greater threat; an ancient and terrible evil that stalks the city's residents, mercilessly hunting them within their homes. Together, the survivors must fight to escape their drowning city and the creatures that now roam its streets under the cover of perpetual darkness. Members Reviews: Lazy writing The overall story was entertaining and semi unique; there are a lot of parts to this book that seem forced and lazy. Basically ignoring common logic a character was proven to understand just to put them in simple peril later on in the book. *Chair legs. It was OK at best The book was OK, not that great, I unlike everyone else liked the fact he had chapters where a character was introduced and killed, but the rest was just OK. Finished this in one Day! GREAT book! Holy Cow. I loved this one. Vampires are true monsters here! I read a few reviews that said it was predictable but I had to say I didn't find the story predictable at all. It was truly spooky and delightfully scary. I won't ruined how the vampires end up coming to the U.S. but I'll start with what happens when they're here. A few dead bodies go missing from a plane crash, homeless people start to vanish, L.A. is preparing for a HUGE storm and everyone assumes the missing people are prepping for the upcoming storm. Birdy is a 15 year old parkour protege and being raised by her mother who works two jobs. (I don't know what happened here the author really played up the parkour in the beginning but Birdy never really used it escaping from the vampires I was just waiting for her to do some phenomenal leaps & tricks to escape her imminent doom at the last minute but just one minor scene and that was the end of it) Tyrese is a war vet who has lost both his legs and his wife and hasn't left his apartment in two years. He spends his time in his wheelchair by the window.............not a creepy old man its just his view to the outside world. Birdy's mom is attacked at the gas station she works at and disappears. The police come to her apartment and in order to stave off foster care she says Tyrese is her uncle. Eventually the vampires make it to their building. They call the police and Collins who was investigating Birdy's mother's disappearance/involvement in the murders at the gas station initially thinks Tyrese killed a human.....until he sees her face! Collins/Tyrese/Birdy and a homeless woman named Janine try to make it out of the city before the vampires get them. They're everywhere and have been quietly taking over the city while everyone preps for the storm. They eventually make it to Las Vegas but not everyone survives. I won't give away the ending. I loved this one and I'm hoping Paul Antony Jones turns it into a series.

The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories Audiobook by Algernon Blackwood

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Algernon Blackwood) — Fri, 13 May 2016 16:48:50 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories Author: Algernon Blackwood Narrator: Hugh Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-16 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: An abandoned house whose horrific past is reenacted for those who dare visit; a terrifying trip down the Danube River; a malevolent half-beast creature who abducts a member of a hunting party; and a tale of paranoia, mental deterioration, and all-consuming feelings of doom: Here are four feverish, spine-tingling tales that will chill the blood and make the flesh creep. The collection includes "The Empty House," "The Willows," "The Listener", and "The Wendigo". "The Willows" was the personal favorite story of H. P. Lovecraft, who called it the finest supernatural tale in English literature. Distinguished actor Hugh Ross perfectly captures the chilling atmosphere of Blackwood's writing and the moods of dread and suspense. Members Reviews: Worth the Price of Admission Hugh Ross is good as a Narrator. Perhaps not the right one for the last story on here "The Wendigo." But that is a difficult story to present at best. Especially "The Cry of the Wendigo" which Mr. Ross presents poorly. Otherwise this set of tales by Blackwood is presented in a workmanlike and occasionally inspired way by the narrator. And the stories are uniformly excellent. As is usual with Algernon Blackwood. He can always chill your blood in a delightful way. Beware of the Wendigo! These are old-fashioned (19th or early 20th century stories) expertly narrated by Hugh Ross, evoking a bygone world of hunters, explorers and mythical creatures. The first story, the Empty House, created an atmosphere of terror but ended rather abruptly, and the explanation had already been given away. From there on in, though, the ante was upped, and the final story, the Wendigo, was spine-chilling, dealing with the legend of the Wendigo, a spirit or mythical creature of the North American and Canadian wilderness. The Willows, although very long, creates a similar atmosphere of terror, dealing with purely supernatural events that have no rational explanation. Summary: If you like old-world ghost stories and haven't come across Algernon Balckwood before, give this a go. You won't regret it, though you might not sleep afterwards! Haunted Nights a great listen, great narration and a great variation in stories. #bedtime #scarey #cosy #openfire Struggled through it. I have listened to a lot of horror books from classical horror tales such as h.p. lovecraft and frankenstein to more modern books such as the exorcist. Sadly I really struggled with the works of Algernon Blackwood, I found them to be neither scary or even compelling. I can not understand why i have been led to belive how they are so highly rated as most of the titles contained within this collection are entirely uneventful. As it stands i can not recommend purchasing these books unless you are already familiar with the authors work, in which case the performance by the narrator was quite good, his speech was clear throughout and used enough variation in accent and tone to differentiate between characters by voice alone.

The Secrets of Pain Audiobook by Phil Rickman

Title: The Secrets of Pain Subtitle: Merrily Watkins Mysteries, Book 11 Author: Phil Rickman Narrator: Emma Powell Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-17 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Join Merrily Watkins - parish priest, single mother and exorcist - in her 11th chilling tale of murder, mystery and intrigue. The elite warriors of the Hereford-based SAS know all about pain and the enduring of it. Syd Spicer, ex-SAS trooper, has found himself back in the regiment - this time as its chaplain, responsible for the spiritual welfare of the hardest men in or out of uniform. Faced with a case which would normally be passed discreetly to Hereford diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins, Spicer is forced, for security reasons, to try and handle it himself - and is coming close to a breakdown. Meanwhile, the scattered communities along the Welsh border have their own crisis. With recession biting deep, urban crime has spilled into the countryside, and old barbaric evils are revived. When a wealthy landowner is hacked to death in his own farmyard, the senior investigating officer, DI Frannie Bliss, is caught in the backlash, his private life in danger of exposure. With the framework of her own world beginning to crack, Merrily is persuaded to venture into areas where neither a priest nor a woman is welcome to unearth secrets linked with the border's pagan past. Secrets which she knows can never be disclosed. Critic Reviews: "Rickman once again cleverly blends supernatural elements with a conventional whodunit plot.... The writing and characterizations are first-rate." (Publisher's Weekly) "A first-class thriller - with a difference." (The Guardian) Members Reviews: 'They came for me in the darkness' "The Secrets of Pain" is the eleventh Merrily Watkins procedural and the most interesting parts of this novel focus around the middle-aged deliverance consultant and her daughter Jane, who is trying to track down a cockfighting ring within the precincts of her beloved Ledwardine. Merrily herself is trying to figure out why a friend, who was a Special Forces (SAS) chaplain experienced a sudden, demon-haunted death with a twenty-pound Bible strapped to his back. Meanwhile, a wealthy farmer is hacked to death in his own farmyard, and his demise sets off the local anti-immigration yobbos. Merrily's detective-friend, Frannie Bliss works this murder while his estranged wife makes his personal life as miserable as she possibly can. Soon a couple more murders are added to his caseload, this time the beating deaths of two Romanian immigrant sisters. Oddly enough, the police procedural parts of "The Secrets of Pain" are not nearly as compelling as the parts directly involving Merrily and Jane.

This is one of several tales in the Smoky Mountain Horrors collection. Scare yourself silly: listen to more . ©2009 Weston Ochse; (P)2009 Pulp Studios, LLC Members Reviews: silly I am a fan of Joe Ledger, Capt. Nothing and Sandman Slim. This is an attempt at that type of humor. It was just an attempt that did not work for me. There were lots of dirty words, which does not bother me and lots of politically incorrect situations that I usually love. Ochse might have a future, but this sounded like something a freshman in high school would write. To see how this is done well, read Jonthan Maberry, Joe R. Lansdale, Richard Kadry or Steve Vernon. good book I thought this book was very good, I wish that it could've been longer than what it was because it had my attention from beginning to end and I was laughing so hard when he got to the restaurant and didn't know the little girl was some kind of animal see why those kids wasn't scared when he had kidnapped them. Fun story. A little silly for me. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes it was. It's a very short story and it was a fun listen. Perfect for Halloween. Would you recommend Tender Hearts Taste Better in Butter to your friends? Why or why not? If they love graphic gore this is for them. What about Weston Ochses performance did you like? The author does a marvelous job on this. Best thing about the download! If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably not. It's fun but not my type of movie. Any additional comments? If you can stretch your imagination into believing that ghouls and demons are all around us, than this story is right up your alley. Vulgar and not enjoyable. Vulgar and not enjoyable. This does not belong on Amazon. Not a good short story. Can't complain Can't complain it being a free book and all. although the curse words were a bit much it gave the story the effect desired.

UR Audiobook by Stephen King

Title: UR Author: Stephen King Narrator: Holter Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-10 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1151 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Tapping into our primal fears of modern technology, which made Cell a number-one best seller, Stephen King sets his sights on the latest high-tech gadget in UR, in which a mysterious e-book reader opens a disturbing window into other worlds. Reeling from a painful break-up, English instructor and avid book lover Wesley Smith is haunted by his ex-girlfriend's parting shot: "Why can't you just read off the computer like everyone else?" He buys an e-book reader out of spite, but soon finds he can use the device to glimpse realities he had never before imagined, discovering literary riches beyond his wildest dreams...and all-too-human tragedies that surpass his most terrible nightmares. From vintage cars (Christine and From a Buick 8) to household appliances (Maximum Overdrive) to exercise equipment (Stationary Bike), Stephen King has mesmerized us with tales of apparently ordinary machines that take on lives of their own. UR gives this classic theme an up-to-the-minute spin, resulting in a horror masterpiece for our time and for the ages. Critic Reviews: "Firm, gripping, and deftly written by a craftsman at the top of his game, this is King at his crisp, clear, page-turning best." (Amazon.com review) Members Reviews: BRAVO! Just finished UR, and all I can say is WOW! What a fantastic story. I am one of SK's constant readers and still had no idea how this was going to end up until the last word had been read. I had not heard of Holter Graham befor this but he was perfect for this story. Excellent Read!!! LOW MEN IN YELLOW SUITS BLACK TOWER Elements of the Black Tower series and of Hearts in Atlanta are in this short story. If you have read the series or the book, it will enhance your enjoyment. It is not necessary though and reading this will enhance your reading of the book or series. It does not matter where you start. WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW I would hate to pay full price for this, but at $2.00 an hour it's a bargain. Your paying for quality, not quantity. Imagine, if your favorite writer had lived five or ten years longer then you thought and he/she wrote books during that time, never published in our universe, and you found them. The first part of the book, should really appeal to classic literature fans. The second part of the book, deals more with knowing the future and how to respond to that. This of course has been done by multiple authors and King really does not bring anything new to the subject. Still it is an interesting read and trying to guess what is going to happen, makes it more fun. I am not familiar with the narrator, but he does his job so well, you forget your listening and not reading. UR Functions Well What a great little short story about our choices, even if well meaning, and their consequences. Stephen King brings us into contact with the Dark Tower once again and it is always nice to go back there along a new path of the beam. Very good narration. Left me wanting more. If you're a Dark Tower fan, you'll love it I have read the entire Dark Tower series multiple times and its my favorite series of all time. I know Stephen has his detractors, but I really love his stories. If you're a Dark Tower fan, about half way through this quick listen, you'll really appreciate this story. I have to admit that the ending left me wanting a bit more, but I enjoyed the story all the same.

Title: The Fear Subtitle: Cthulhu Attacks!, Book 1 Author: Sean Hoade Narrator: Nicholas Thurkettle Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Sean Hoade Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: For half a billion years, Cthulhu has lain trapped in R'lyeh, dead but dreaming. But now the stars are right, and the Old One is rising. Instant death for hundreds of millions, insanity for many more. And he hasn't even gotten out of the water yet. World governments and a desperate and frightened populace scramble to understand, survive, and ultimately fight back against an enemy so powerful his presence could kill every human on Earth without him even noticing we are here. Buckle up for apocalyptic suspense as you witness what happens when Cthulhu Attacks! Members Reviews: Captivatingly gruesome- a perfect new twist on Lovecratian horror The story is a fabulous account on what would happen in the world as we know it if Cthulhu were to rise from the depths of his slumber. In a world where Lovecraft has become part of our pop culture, it truly drags you in to the terror and psychotic horror that H.P. originally created. Each event feels perfectly in place, true to our world, even as the gruesome awe of what is happening sends shivers down one's spine. The narrator's tone is a great vocal choice to sound like "just the facts, ma'am" until we are introduced to the characters. The characters themselves each have their own unique voice and life, and I easily found myself rooting for them or cringing about what was to befall them. The narrative, while dryly given, seems to heighten the eery, the unimaginable, and the bloody gore perfectly. If you enjoy Lovecraft's stories, you'll love revisiting his world in our present day setting. If you've never read his stories, familiar or not you'll be drawn into this apocalyptic tale which will chill you to the core, reminding all readers how frail we humans are. Where do I start.... Horrible production quality, narrator sounds bored and monotone, and should never have been allowed to read this book. This book is not pulling any punches What did you love best about The Fear? Delivers on Lovecraft. Answers 'what would happen if an old one awoke', in short - it wouldn't be good! Any additional comments? This is part one. I'm hoping to see follow-ups soon! Decent story, lackluster performance. The story is fine. It's the nerve raider that's the problem with this particular production. He is so robotic I had to take a break from listening several times. You're better off buying an actual hard copy of this. Excellent, fun apocaplyse, narrated by a robot Is there anything you would change about this book? The book is great, if you are a Lovecraft fan, you will love the reality/fantasy tie in What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fear? The initial sighting of Cthulhu. Loved all of the WTF reactions of the characters How did the narrator detract from the book? He overdid some of the character voices which could be entertaining at times. The majority of his narration sounded like a male Siri or a text to voice app. Almost ruined the experience Did The Fear inspire you to do anything? Yeah, stay away from the southern hemisphere

Title: Blood Father Subtitle: Blood Curse, Book 6 Author: Tessa Dawn Narrator: Eric G. Dove Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-15 Publisher: Tessa Dawn Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 402 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Kagen Silivasi is a powerful, ancient vampire with a unique gift for healing - he is also a son, a brother, and a loner who has survived unspeakable tragedy and loss. Beneath his handsome, well-mannered exterior lies an alter ego consumed by rage and an overwhelming impulse to "kill them all".... Arielle Nightsong is a brave human, a rebel spirit, and an accomplished healer in her own right. Born into a harsh world of violence, cruelty, and danger, she was enslaved at the age of 10 and given as a gift to the most depraved being in Mhier - the infamous king of the lycans. If not for her enduring friendship with a captive vampire, she might not have survived to escape the slave encampment...or to discover her mysterious role in an ancient blood curse. When Kagen and his brothers voyage into Mhier in search of their long lost father, it will take more than stealth and cunning to get out alive: Secrets will be revealed, loyalties will be tested, and an indomitable spirit will fracture beneath the weight of an impossible choice. Blood Father is where destiny and duty collide. Members Reviews: SIMPLY EPIC!!! Epic is the only word I can use to describe this book. The storyline is epic. The milestone for the Silivasi family is powerful, gripping, and epic. The clash between enemies (lycans and vampires) has been coming for quite some time, and Tessa made it epic. And the main characters' journey of self-discovery and the way they finally come together is just...plain...epic. This book is a keeper. To be read again and again. Eric's narration was also, as you may have guessed, epic. He brought it all to life in full living color. Grreeaattttttttttt! Man is this series good! Each story keeps getting better and better! I haven't enjoyed a series like this in a while. This book continues by telling how the Silivasi brothers go on a rescue mission to retrieve their missing father from the lycans. It turns out Kagen Silivasi, the youngest brother, was there when his father was taken from the vampire realm. He was so traumatized from fighting to save his father his soul (kind of) split and his sprite became dark. This caused him to become withdrawn. Kagen's back story touched my heart and I found myself very happy when he met Arielle Nightsong, a human slave and rebel, who had grown up in the lycans realm. I was glad they found each other and were able to make it back to earth's realm together. The brothers got their father back and managed to kill the leader of the lycans. Eric Dove does a bang up job as always and he really brings the story to life. I also found myself smiling when he sang the lyrics to "Unchanged Melody". It was really sweet. I think this was the last book available in this series on audible, and I can't wait to hear the next chapter. We will be picking up the story with Ramsey Olaru finding his destiny in the reluctant human woman Tiffany Matthews. Well worth the credit! Can't wait for the next book and I hope Eric Dove continues to read for this series. One of the very best stories I have ever heard Would you consider the audio edition of Blood Father to be better than the print version? This is a tough question because Blood Father is my favorite of the series, the print version was absolutely amazing but, to have this story come to life through audio was phenomenal.

Fantastical journy back in time Would you consider the audio edition of Curse of the Ancients to be better than the print version? Although the Narrator brings the book to life it is the same story ,so what kind of question is that? What about Jack Wallen, Jr.s performance did you like? Mr. Wallen has a magical voice that is a delight to hear. He is very good at narrating.He has a wealth of range and is a master at speaking well and clearly.There was never a question of who was speaking. He is very consistent with pitch and tone for each character.I have enjoyed many books that he has narrated. I rally like that he doesn't need soundtracks of ambient noise or music to make a story come to life. His voice is more than enough. Any additional comments?

Lots of frights and shudders. Good old fashioned fun! variable narration Bart Wolffe is amazing, but the other narrators sounded like they were reading the news...

His delivery was like an especially disdainful Sherlock Holmes when Watson has been particularly slow. In fact it didn't surprise me at all to see that he has indeed narrated the Sherlock Holmes books. He sounded supercilious and contemptuous of almost everything, which for me added some humour to the horror. I suppose his delivery is similr to that of Richard E. Grant in 'Withnail and I'. I thought the two female narrators deliveries were totally unsuited to old Horror stories. The first Emma (Topping, perhaps?) sounded like she was reading the East Midlands news on a particularly uneventful day. And Emma Hignett (I think I have the Emmas the right way round) had a voice ideally suited to modern day women's fiction. In short, I ended up listening only to those stories narrated by Bart Wolffe.

Last Days Audiobook by Brian Evenson

Title: Last Days Author: Brian Evenson Narrator: Chris Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Still reeling from a brutal dismemberment, detective Kline is forcibly recruited to solve a murder inside a religious cult that takes literally the New Testament idea that you should cut off your hand if it offends you. Armed only with his gun, his wits, and a gift for self-preservation, Kline must navigate a gauntlet of lies, threats, and misinformation. All too soon he discovers that the stakes are higher than he thought and that his survival depends on an act of sheer will. Brian Evenson is the author of eight books of ction, most recently The Open Curtain, which was a nalist for the Edgar Award and the International Horror Guild Award. He is the recipient of both an O. Henry Award and an NEA award. Evensons writing has been described as dark, violent, philosophical, critical, and lyrical. Critic Reviews: A writer of disconcerting power. (The London Times) Evensons new masterpiece . . . [an] astonishing work. (Paul Di Filippo) Wickedly brilliant. A superb thriller thats a darker shade of noir. Brians writing is scalpel sharp. (Simon Clark) Members Reviews: Red Harvest for the 21st Century Be careful before you pick this book up. It is as violent and nihilistic as anything Ive ever read. It opens with a man reflecting on how he recently had his hand chopped off with a cleaver, and then it gets only darker and bloodier. Its unsettling in what it has to say and in how it says it. It will either give you nightmares from what it says or give you nightmares for what your not reacting to it says about you. If Id had a clearer understanding of what this was about, I would never have picked it up. Its also an extraordinary novel, maybe even a masterpiece, so Im glad I did. I gather Im late to the Brian Evenson party. At least thats the impression I get from the solid appreciation by Peter Straub that serves as the afterword to the edition I read. Apparently quite a few people already admire what Evensons doing. All the better, I suppose; this is so radical and disturbing that Im comforted to feel Im not quite alone in my admiration. As far as Im concerned, this comes as close as anything I can imagine to capturing the spirit of Dashiell Hammetts Red Harvest, arguably the first great hardboiled work of literature. (Of course, after reading this, I feel as if my imagination is fairly limited.) In that one, our Continental Op is a man determined to find justice in a world too flawed to provide it. As a consequence, he embarks on a killing spree that renders him blood simple (the source of the title of the excellent Coen Brothers film). Hell get justice even if it means murdering everyone in the town on Personville. Evensons Klein is not so much after justice as theological certainty. That puts him on the same footing as many other protagonists I think most memorably of Flannery OConnors Misfit from A Good Man is Hard to Find but hes perhaps more driven than any others. Hes taken for a prophet by a group of believers so avid that they mutilate themselves, that they take the number of amputated limbs as the measure of believers holiness. Over time (and I cant quite call this a spoiler) he comes to think he may in fact be a prophet, that he might even be the messiah of this twisted world. Theres something lurid in his theology, something unsubtle and technicolor, but it serves as the residue of something like real faith. Eventually two groups want to crucify him, one as the messiah and one as the thief by his side.

The only question is, does he even want to be set free from the grip of the dead girl in this tale where Fifty Shades meets Hellraiser? Members Reviews: Erotic Extreme Horror Erotic Extreme Horror just doesn't sound right, but that's what this is. Some of it is kinky but most of it is just disturbing and gory. Exactly what you'd expect from a Tim Miller book! This is not for someone with a weak stomach. Extreme horror fans only! lol Good Story!!!! Wish it was longer. Only thing is it needs better production quality. But all in all a great story. Tim Miller never disappoints! The book starts out great and finishes up great with lots of Gore and guts in the middle. not good don't waste your time or money I regret purchasing this book and was not impressed

It is a rumor Rafe does nothing to dispel. Scholarship student Tessa Moss has long dreamed of the chance to study at Rafe's Academy. But she is floundering amidst the ups and downs of a relationship with egotistical art star Lucian Swain. Then, one of Tessa's sketches catches Rafe's attention: a drawing of a young woman in 1930s clothing who is covering the eyes of a child. The suitcase at her feet says Wizotsky. Sofia Wizotsky, the love of Rafe's life, was lost during the Holocaust. Or was she? Rafe suspects Tessa may be the key to discovering what really happened. As Rafe finds excuses to interact with Tessa, they quickly discover they cannot deny their growing attraction to one another. It is an attraction forbidden by the Academy Board and disapproved of by anyone familiar with Rafe's playboy reputation and Tessa's softhearted innocence. But what if fate has other plans for Tessa and Rafe? What if they break all rules to succumb to a passion that defies history? Members Reviews: BORING OVERWROUGHT AND SILLY Don't bother ..it was free so I tried it . Ridiculous attempt at weaving vampires, art and the Holocaust . All. Very clumsy Good listening, but a bit too long Would you consider the audio edition of The Color of Light to be better than the print version? I have not read the print version, but both narrators did a great job and it was very entertaining. What other book might you compare The Color of Light to and why? There are a lot of books about vampire love stories and a lot of books about the holocaust, but I do not any other book combining both topics. Which character as performed by Simon Slater and Jennifer Ikeda was your favorite? I loved Simon Slater's performance of Raphael, but I also liked a lot all of Jennifer Ikeda's narration. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I do not want to give any spoilers, but the last three hours of the narration were especially moving. Any additional comments? It was a very interesting listen, but in my opinion a bit too long. I knew Jennifer Ikeda from the All Souls trilogy and she was perfect as always, but Simon Slater has been a great discovery and I would love to listen to other books narrated by him. Wonderful! I have over 100 titles in my library and this one, along with The All Souls Trilogy (narrated by Jennifer Ikeda as well) are the very best. I just listened for the second time and was just as entranced as I was the first time. I so wish there were more titles by this author on Audible. Amazingly romantic and I love the historical background. I had high hopes I was 1/4 through when I realized I've wasted my time. I love long books, supernatural, romance, art, and Jennifer Ikeda. I figured this would scratch my reading needs for the month but nope. The author gets stuck in details of scenery and skips actual plot and story. Also the twists are cringy, I won't spoil anything but who would be okay with all this happening?? OOH, I know! deathless characters that's who! I kinda really want my money back Well Read But Not My Cup of Tea I have listened to Jennifer Ikeda's reading of the All Souls trilogy three times, so I thought I would enjoy this story. I guess I am just not a vampire story fan.

Red Rain Audiobook by R. L. Stine

Stine Narrator: Michael Cerveris Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-09-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: R.L. Stine, New York Times best-selling author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series - the biggest selling childrens books of all time - delivers a terrifying new adult horror novel centered on a town in the grip of a sinister revolt. Before there was J. K. Rowling, before there was Stephenie Meyer or Suzanne Collins, there was R.L. Stine. Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, he defined horror for a generation of young listeners - listeners who have now come of age. Travel writer Lea Sutter finds herself on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, the wrong place at the wrong time. A merciless, unanticipated hurricane cuts a path of destruction and Lea barely escapes with her life. In the storms aftermath, she discovers orphaned twin boys and impulsively decides to adopt them. The boys, Samuel and Daniel, seem amiable and immensely grateful; Leas family back on Long Island - husband Mark and their two children, Ira and Elena - arent quite so pleased. But even they cant anticipate the twins true nature - or predict that, within a few weeks time, Mark will wind up implicated in two brutal murders, with the police narrowing in. For the millions of listeners who grew up on Goosebumps, and for every fan of deviously inventive horror, this is a must-listen from a beloved master of the genre. Critic Reviews: "I picked up R. L. Stine's Red Rain and for the life of me couldn't put it down. From the opening scene - which is plenty shocking - a terrifying and original story unspools that draws the reader in like a moth to flame. The suspense builds to the breaking point and goes beyond...and beyond. This is a sophisticated thriller with real characters, crisp writing, and a wicked sense of humor. Keep this book far, far away from your kids." (Douglas Preston) "This is the moment I've been terrified of - when R. L. Stine decided he wasn't just going to scare children, but that he would focus his power on frightening the rest of us. Ready to be haunted by the master? Red Rain proves he's got nightmares for us all." (Brad Meltzer) "Red Rain is a slam-bang, stay-up-all-night, leave-the-lights-on thriller. R. L. Stine has scared kids for years. Now it's our turn...." (Harlan Coben) Members Reviews: Definitely RL Stine It wasn't a bad story, in fact I loved the beginning. It became very much like a Goosebumps episode about mid way through however and although I like Goosebumps, I was hoping for something more than a couple of kids who wanted to rule the school. Mr. Stine should probably stick to writing for tweens. If he does attempt another adult novel in the future, perhaps it will be more interesting if he actually centers the story around adults instead of children.

Rushed Audiobook by Brian Harmon

Title: Rushed Author: Brian Harmon Narrator: Eric Michael Summerer Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 07-15-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 107 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Eric can't remember the recurring dream that keeps waking him in the middle of the night with an overwhelming urge to leave, yet he spends each day feeling as if he desperately needs to be somewhere. With no idea how to cure himself of this odd compulsion, he decides to let it take its course and go for a drive, hoping that once he proves to himself that there is nowhere to go, he can return to his normal life. Instead, he finds himself hurled headlong into a nightmare adventure across a fractured Wisconsin as the dream reveals itself one heart-pounding detail at a time. Members Reviews: Great Listen Where does Rushed rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Would not say the absolute best listen, but was a very good listen What about Eric Michael Summerers performance did you like? I really liked how he portrayed each character. The personality of each character came through with his different inflections of each. If you could rename Rushed, what would you call it? Dream Compulsion Any additional comments? This book is by no means one that will keep you awake at night with things that go bump, but, it does let your imagination run wild with the description of the creatures Eric comes across in his day of travel. The humor between the main character Eric and wife is very entertaining. I look forward to the next in the series. A ONE STAR REVIEW in less than 5 HOURS? Hmmm... Any additional comments? Not trying to harp on this ONCE again, but this trend of people POORLY rating audiobooks that came out less than 4-5 hours ago is RIDICULOUS! Not only is it UNFAIR & MISLEADING to the publishers, the Audible site, the author (likely trying to support themselves financially)...but MOST importantly, us the CONSUMERS. I listen to around 4-5 audiobooks from Audible PER week, so I understand getting a DUD of an audiobook now and then. With Audible's No-Hassle Return Poiicy in effect, there is NO reason to poorly review a book based simply on first impressions, and that you have NOT completed (since cramming a 12 hour audiobook into 4 hours is impossible last time I checked). If you are like myself, the most IMPORTANT aspect of whether I use a hard earned credit on an audiobook, is BASED on the REVIEWS...There is a reason Audible's rating sytem is starred in 3 distinct areas; to allow a FULL and knowledged review of the ENTIRE production. There is NO star-rating category for anything like "first minute impressions" or "How good was the INTRO" lol. If you dont like the book after an hour, FINE. If you know the narrator isn't great early on, FINE. But don't come handing out ONE-STAR ratings in categories you HAVE ZERO ground to give out...you MIGHT be able to rate the "perfomance" but your creidbility to rate the Overall & Story categories is NULL in any case...because you did NOT finish the BOOK! FYI - As to NOT be partial in my rating of this title, I will update and provide a FULL REVIEW once I have completed this title. But something had to be said about the unfair, early reviews posted for so many new books lately :) Just ok I felt like the story was just ok. I finished it because I was curious about where the absurd storyline was going to take me. It probably would have been better if there was a better narrator. Idk if it was computer automated or what, but the narration was bad.

Cold Hollow Audiobook by Emilie J. Howard

Scott Bennett Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 12-03-15 Publisher: Emilie J Howard Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 78 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The Barner family relocates to Cold Hollow, a quaint town nestled in a Vermont mountain range. They find it to be quite charming, and the inhabitants endearing, except for a few residents. Odd laws are enforced, confrontations begin, and insanity reigns as a madman sits upon his imaginary throne, trying to keep the threads of his dream from unraveling. Will Sophia and Angus Barner be able to protect their children from the malevolence that lurks within the small township? This is the story of a place you'll never want to visit. Members Reviews: A gripping tale with great surprises This is a gripping, creepy and unique audiobook. Cold Hollow on the surface appears to be just a normal rural town; promising the Barner family the safety and comfort that small town life usually brings, but all is not what it seems. Not only is that safety a façade, but the whole town seems to be riddle with secrets. This story has lots of twists and turns that you will not be able to guess at. Your heart will bleed for some of the characters and others you will want to shoot. The author and narrator draw you into the story and hold you tight in its grip to the very last page. The narrators voice fits the characters well, portraying the increasing tension and generally enhanced the story. This is a thrilling, fast paced story that you wont be able to stop listening to, it is brutal, compelling and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I received the audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion. Gripping tale with great surprises Would you listen to Cold Hollow again? Why? Yes, I would listen again and would love to explore the entire series Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Plot of this story is so creepy. I always find a book set in a tight knit small town creepy anyway but add in even shadier characters and you have the recipe for a great book Which character as performed by J. Scott Bennett was your favorite? Myrna Bradbury, she is just the kind of friend I would love to have. J. Scott Bennett did a great job with the narration. I had no problem following who was talking at any given time Any additional comments? I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review Cold Hollow This was a very unique story.I really enjoyed it and could not wait to read more so I am now on the 3rd book!J Scott Bennet does a wonderful job narrating.A family moves to a town for a new job opportunity,but it is not the place they think it is.Weird laws and fees are just one thing they don't agree with.When they stand up for their rights,they learn they have none.People die mysteriously and go missing.Things would have worked out better had they not questioned the 'norm' I was given this book free for an honest review. Creepy mayor I usually prefer stories with a supernatural or paranormal background. However, the storytelling and characters were so engaging that it wasn't until the final chapter that I realized this book had neither. I never even noticed due to the excellent plot and reading. Excellent. Highly recommended. Even though I received this audible book for free, my opinion is unbiased and honest. Great story! Edit to my review P.S.

Suffer the Children Audiobook by Craig Dilouie

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 155 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Suffer the Children presents a terrifying tale of apocalyptic fiction, as listeners are introduced to Herod's Syndrome, a devastating illness that suddenly and swiftly kills all young children across the globe. Soon, they return from the grave, and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead. They continue to remain the children they once were, but only for a short time, as they need more blood to live. The average human body holds 10 pints of blood, so the inevitable question for parents everywhere becomes: How far would you go to bring your child back? Members Reviews: Brilliant, Well Done!!!!! HIRE SLOW, FIRE FAST This is why I slog through all those other books in which I write all those negative reviews. This is why I don't spend more than three hours with most books. Why spend precious time listening to crap, when you can listen to something as good as this. IT WAS A STRANGE FEELING TO BE IN LOVE WITH A CRAZY PERSON This does not really approach being a horror story until toward the end. Until than it is a heart rending, sad story. This will make you appreciate your children more than ever. You will hold your loved ones tighter after this. The story is a study in how we love our children and what we would do to save them. Do not confuse this with a B rated gore fest. While toward the end it starts to get gruesome, this is a brilliantly well crafted story with in depth characters. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE GONE? I have always been a R.C. Bray fan, but he really out does himself with this reading. I have always admired his voice, but in this, he shows his acting talents. No one could have read this better. NOBODY KNOWS NOTHING I write a lot of bad reviews, so when I say I like a book, you know I mean it. Give this one a try. Completely Surprising, A Horrifying Delight I googled 'Suffer the Children' because I was trying to find the author to the book. But, it wasn't this book I was looking for. When the book by Craig Dilouie popped up I read the description, and I immediately ordered it on audible. I gobbled it up voraciously- which may be a bad play on words.. Dilouie delivers something original, fresh, and exciting. For people who are tired of vampires, no need to worry- reading this sheds another light on thirsting for blood. It's incomparable to Sookie Stackhouse or Bram Stoker himself.. A disease has wiped out every single child and unborn baby who has not reached puberty-- in the entire world. This poses a lot of problems of course. Grieving parents, full graves, rotting corpses, miscarriages, and a stunned world. It seems as though humans will be extinct with no future generation. When some children flutter their eyes and come back from the dead asking for blood.. yes.. blood... desperate parents everywhere try the quite 'natural' remedy and see their children with rosy cheeks and smiles again. But when the cure works for a small amount of time, and more and more blood or 'medicine' is needed to stir the sleeping/dead children, things get ugly. People with money can afford to buy blood from those willing to sell, however regular folks have to rely on their own bodies.. and one pint gives an hour of life.. I have read a lot of scary books, and Stephen King is my favourite author, but this book is completely original.

Dead Coast Audiobook by L. I. Albemont

Albemont Narrator: Emily Beresford Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The origins of the outbreak were never in dispute, although at first almost no one believed the dead were actually rising. When the island nation of Haiti was struck by wave after wave of violent earthquakes killing thousands, the Z-virus lurched spectacularly to life. Early reports of cannibalism from inside the country were disregarded until shocking live video splashed across the world's television and computer screens. Suddenly everyone was a believer. Nevertheless, in many ways it still didn't seem real. Anything could happen out there, in the barbarous realm of the third world, beyond the pale of civilization. There were myriad reasons that it could never happen here. Health and security protocols, a literate, well-informed public, etc., were all on our side. In truth, the virus was already here and spreading like the viral videos sent out from Haiti during the first days after the quake. News anchors and subject-matter experts (yes, there were subject-matter experts on the living dead) speculated and conjectured until theory gave way to the infected, pus-filled reality breaking down doors and smashing through windows with flailing, rotten hands. Members Reviews: Dead Coast, A Review Dead Coast was interesting. I agree with one of the reviews; there was just a little too much historical records. more time should have been spent on the characters. But I didn't skip a word, because the historical parts read like they were lifted right out of the archives, and I find that kind of thing fascinating. The author has shown her great knowledge of not only history, but science, even geology, in general, and tied facts to fiction believably. For me, one of the most interesting aspects of this believable story of the breakdown of society, was the behaviour of all the characters. To me, the author was spot on, and it made me 1. completely grateful and relieved that we do not yet have a zombie, or any other kind of apocalypse, and 2. it helped me understand why/how the suppression and subjugation of women by men, probably happened. The third thing it made me do was fanatically lock all the doors at night. And hate going into the basement. I found Dead Coast to be a fast paced, well written, great story and highly recommend. 5 stars. I was left with some in answered questions I enjoyed the first two immensely. I felt this one was hurried and in conclusive. What happened to Charlie? Did he survive? I guess the end to Bea and David was they were with his parents? I wish these parts of the book were a little more elaborated and conclusive. But overall was a good read. The whole series was. Dead Coast Although I enjoyed this series, I had to give "Dead Coast" 3 stars. It was the ending that made up my mind. After sticking with these characters for so long, I felt cheated. It felt rushed, as if the author was bored and more than ready to put this series to bed. The best zombie books ever Absolutely brilliant. Loved all 3 books. I could not stop reading, because it was that fantastic. You always kept me on the edge of my seat, I caught myself yelling run a few times, crying and rejoicing at others when you showed mercy. I would definitely recommend your books to everyone. Keep up the wonderful writing. loved the series but... Really wanted to love this book as much as the previous ones but I felt this one got bogged down in too much information.

Title: Medicine for the Dead Subtitle: The Ulrich Files, Book 2 Author: Ambrose Ibsen Narrator: Jake Urry Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-16 Publisher: Ambrose Ibsen Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 105 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The Spirits of Exeter House are Restless Facing tough times, private investigator Harlan Ulrich takes a job looking after a historic downtown building as a favor to an old acquaintance who's out on business. Settling into the elegant Exeter House for a week-long stay, Ulrich's apartment is beautifully furnished and situated on the top floor, giving him a great view of the city. At first, he thinks it a wonderful opportunity. He's got plenty of coffee, good books to read and the whole building to himself. At least, that's what he's been told. It turns out there are others there, in the seemingly empty building. Dark entities that lurk in its shadowed corners. During his first night, strange things begin to occur. As he makes his nightly rounds, ensuring that the old building is free of intruders, Ulrich finds the place transformed. By day, Exeter House is a treasured local institution. By night, it crawls with the frightening souls of the hateful dead. Tormented nightly by a number of mysterious specters, it's all the investigator can do to hold onto his sanity. Can Harlan Ulrich tap into the building's dreadful past and quell the spirits that walk its halls, or will he lose his mind trying? Join him as he seeks answers in Medicine for the Dead, a full-length novel of supernatural terror and suspense. Medicine for the Dead is the second book in the Ulrich Files series by Ambrose Ibsen. Members Reviews: Ghosts are trying to tell you something! Another superb ghost story by Ambrose Ibsen about PI Harlan Ulrich, who now loses his appartment due to money problems. An old acquaintance offers him to house-sit his huge building, Exeter House, for a week while he's on a business trip. Harlan moves in and gets acquainted with a cat and then things starts happining. Ulrich still has to face his fears for the supernatural which he's the only one to believe and he has to get along with the 'creepy' cat as well. Nobody believes what he sees, so he's determined to continue solving the mystery despite that he's scared. However, he finds out that if you don't help the ghosts solving whats happened in the past, they cannot rest in peace. Again, it's a brilliant horror-like mystery with a lots of twists of turns and you're constantly curious for what happens next. I'm awaiting the next book with exitement. The Ulrich Files has the perfect narrator in Jake Urry and I don't even notice much where in the world this story is based and I don't care. Jake is British and does these Ohio-based novels to a 5 star rating and if someone has to pull a scottish accent, Jake is the guy. He has the perfect voice for thrillers, mysteries and horror and knows exactly how to use the right tonal voice performance in the right places of the story. As soon as Jake starts a horror story, I get the chills! *This book was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review. Ibsen and Urry do it Again! Any additional comments? Ambrose Ibsen and Jake Urry might be my favorite supernatural-thriller duo as author and narrator! 'Medicine for the Dead,' book 2 of The Ulrich Files series, delivers a knuckle biting ghost story that won't be soon forgotten. I absolutely can't wait for book 3 of this series!! I would recommend this audio book to any of my friends who enjoy a good ghost story.

The Well Audiobook by Marie Sexton

Title: The Well Author: Marie Sexton Narrator: John Solo Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-17 Publisher: Marie Sexton Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Twenty years after prom queen Cassie Kennedy is brutally murdered, six teenagers break into the house where she was killed to hold a séance. Haven knows his cousin Elise only wants to scare the crap out of him and his friends, but he's willing to put up with one of her pranks if it means a chance to spend a few hours with the new kid in town, Pierce Hunter. But when morning comes, Elise has disappeared without a trace. Twelve years later, Pierce and his twin brother Jordan are professional paranormal investigators, starring in their own ghost-hunting TV show. When Pierce calls Haven, insisting they return to the supposedly haunted building one last time, Haven reluctantly agrees. He's nervous about seeing Pierce again, but he's determined to get some answers. Did they really speak to Cassie's ghost that night? What happened to Elise? And the biggest mystery of all - how did she know the secret of the well? Members Reviews: What I loved the most was how the author blended so many ... One night Haven, his cousins Linsey and Elsie, Linsey's boyfriend Craig, and twins Pierce and Jordan, broke into the home where twenty years earlier prom queen Cassie was murdered in the hope of contacting Cassie to learn what happened to her. Before the night is over Elsie is gone. Now twelve years later, Haven is contacted by Pierce who with his brother are paranormal investigators on television, about checking out the house again. Will they find answers or will they meet the same fate as Elsie and Cassie? To say that The Well scared the stuffing out of me might be a slight overstatement but to say I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end is exactly right. Is there a ghost? Is there lots of coincidences that explain what happened to Cassie and Elsie? Will the answers come from someone they know? Or will they come from beyond the grave? You know me, for those answers you have to read The Well for yourself but trust me when I say you will definitely want to check it out. What I loved the most was how the author blended so many elements together to bring us this story. The romance might be minimal, paranormal is pretty much left open to the reader's interpretation, mystery is everywhere but throughout there is plenty of heart behind the tale molding it all together. I highly recommend giving The Well a read and its a great addition to my Halloween library. Oops, I read the whole thing in one night It takes quite the spooky story to make me afraid of my brand-new, rock-solid house but The Well did it. Great sense of time, history, and meta storytelling---reminds me a bit of my favorite horror movie The Orphanage. The couple was very cute in my opinion. For Josh Lanyon fans: the main character is a writer with a sweet second chance romance storyline. A fine story The Well is a mystery that is 12 years in the making, through the use of flashbacks the reader experiences first hand the events of a fateful trip to a haunted house. The main character is Haven, a young man struggling with his sexuality, at least in the flashbacks. The story is told from Haven's point of view and the reader is given an excellent view of his thoughts and feelings. Enjoyable read I've read a few of Marie Sexton's books and have always found them to be well written with engaging characters. This was no different, just with a bigger cast of characters than some of her other books.

The Consultant Audiobook by Bentley Little

Title: The Consultant Author: Bentley Little Narrator: Ramiz Monsef Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-29-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 759 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: CompWare is in serious trouble after a promised merger falls through, so they do what other businesses have done to bolster their public image: They hire a consulting firm to review and streamline their business practices. But there's something strange about the firm they hire - more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin, wearing a bow tie, and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes. In his first interactions, the consultant asks inappropriate questions and generally seems a nuisance. Over time Patoff gains power to the point where he seems to be running the whole company. He enacts arbitrary and invasive changes to office protocol; he places cameras all over the building, causing paranoia among the workers; he calls employees at all hours of the night; and he visits some of their homes and menaces their families. People who defy the consultant get fired...or worse. The employees of CompWare soon realize they're not just fighting for their jobs: They're fighting for their lives. The Consultant is a biting workplace satire with the horrific touches only Bentley Little could provide. Members Reviews: Disappointed - the book was Great for the first half, from the halfway point to 3/4 it was just so- so and from that point on I simply couldn't wait for the book to end. If you have invested your interest in a book and have 34 minutes left and could care less how it ended that shows pretty much what I thought of this book. The author seems to have quite a few fans and maybe I just happened to pick a book I couldn't get into on my first go round. I personally do not recommend. Not just bad - THE worst book I've ever read. Ever It's not just that the narrator has exactly one voice which he lifts a bit for all the women and shoves up his nose for the child. It's not just that the sex and violence read as if written by an 18-year-old college boy who has never done anything violent or had sex with an actual woman... or anyone. It's not just that the plot doesn't exist and this is just a simple scenario used as a vehicle for adolescent violence and sex fantasies. It's not just that the author doesn't even pretend to know anything about his subject. He knows nothing about corporate governance and nothing about American law - or any law; not labor laws, not contract law, not medical privacy law and certainly not about law enforcement. It's not just that Little clearly knows almost nothing about how real people behave. It's not even just that the premise is promising and the story starts well - The Consultant is brought in to help a struggling software company turn itself around after a merger falls through and the release of a new program fails.

It is patient, monstrous, and bloodthirsty. Perfectly adapted to its hot, steaming environment, it strikes its chosen prey: human. Now Michael Spiers, a marine sniper, the only survivor of a previous encounter with the beast, is going after it again. Against his better judgment, he is made part of a Marine Force recon team that will hunt it down and destroy it. The hunters are about to become the hunted. Members Reviews: A fun and seat gripping I loved the story and how the characters developed in the story. A book of out of this world aliens that are intelligent. You cant go wrong with Tim Curran. The Predator /Alien influence in this one is undeniable, but it definitely has the signature Curran stamp on it. There was even a little Heartbreak Ridge Sgt. Highway going on here. Cool. You cant go wrong with Tim Curran. An entertaining and fast moving creature feature. 3.5+ Stars.

Title: Dark Hollow Author: Brian Keene Narrator: Chet Williamson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-16 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Something very strange is happening in LeHorn's Hollow. Eerie, piping music is heard late at night, and mysterious fires have been spotted deep in the woods. Women are vanishing without a trace overnight, leaving behind husbands and families. When up-and-coming novelist Adam Senft stumbles upon an unearthly scene, it plunges him and the entire town into an ancient nightmare. Folks say the woods in LeHorn's Hollow are haunted, but what waits there is far worse than any ghost. It has been summoned...and now it demands to be satisfied. Members Reviews: Creepy,Funny,Sexual oh and Awesome Great narrative and story keeps a simple horror story with humor and creeps.Keene and Williamson are a great pair. stopped listening couldn't take the vivid animal porno. wasted credit trying to find something scary but not that kind. Just... don't waste money on this. I expected a ghost story thriller. This is NOT that. It is narrated from the point of view from a middle aged over-sexed man who describes his erections and his dog defecating. After the narrator started discussing his dog's sexuality... I was like "what the heck!?" And I had to stop listening. Truly bizarre and disgusting. Please don't think this is going to be a mysterious ghost story.. it's just garbage that creates unwanted mental imagery. Skip it. Intersting theme, not well executed What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A deeper written story with fewer cliches: this tale was a weak linking of several much better written original themes If youve listened to books by Brian Keene before, how does this one compare? I have not What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I did like the attempt the author made to establish "History". It was just a bit shallow You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It was an interesting story, a light read, but not the gripping horror novel advertised A Horror Novel for Fetishists In all seriousness, this was an entertaining read. I might recommend this to some of my friends. That said, reader beware. There are some... ahem... provocative themes.

The Tower of Zhaal Audiobook by C. T. Phipps

Phipps Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 04-12-17 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: It has been a year since John Henry Booth's exile from New America and the fall of the Black Cathedral. Cursed with a slow transformation into a monster, he has begun a doomed relationship with fellow escapee Mercury Halsey as they seek some way to arrest his transformation. Dubious hope arrives in the form of the University, the deranged scientists and cultists descended from the staff of Miskatonic University. Except their offer of help comes at a price. Having sold themselves to ancient aliens called the Yith, they wish John and Mercury to join a group of rogues in hunting down a wayward member of their faculty: a man who intends to release the last of the sleeping Great Old Ones on an already ravaged planet. If they're telling the truth, John and Mercury will be heroes. If. The Tower of Zhaal is the second novel of the Cthulhu Armageddon series, a post-apocalyptic continuation of H.P. Lovecraft's popular Cthulhu Mythos. Members Reviews: Excellent and legitimate As a fan of the Lovecraftian Cthulhu, and all of the mythos and pantheon that entails, I was surprised by the level of dedication here. Not only did Phipps capitalize on the pre-existing characters, but he created plausible NEW Elder Gods, which made me question whether or not they were also pre-existing! Kafer is, as always, an awesome voice-actor, so there was no problem with listening vs. reading. I'll actually admit, I trust his pronunciations more than the ones my brain conjures up (not a hardship, though, as my brain tends toward pronouncing words phonetically, like: epitome...) Anyway, this was a very enjoyable read, with a really good balance of history, fiction, and fantasy! Buckle Your Seatbelts, This Is Action Packed I don't know why I didn't see a sequel coming from the first book, but I'm really glad that Phipps wrote one. The benefit of a sequel is that you've already had time to explain out certain characters and their characteristics, but it also allows you to explain the world a little bit allowing you to jump right into the continuation of a story. Well, Phipps did that for sure. I thought that Cthulhu Armageddon was non-stop action. I would be wrong compared to Tower of Zhaal. Holy cow, I need to catch my breath from this one. Another thing that I really enjoyed was the addition of new characters. Phipps was able to weave new people into the story without them feeling like complete outsiders. The story itself from the first book wasn't normally my cup of tea, but darn it did I still enjoy it. The Tower of Zhaal was the same way. I went into it with an open mind and having read the first book. I wasn't sure what was going to happen in this book, but I was bucked up for the ride. I'm glad that I was buckled up though because this one too me for a ride. Anytime you can get the amazing Jeffrey Kafer to narrator your books, you already have an edge up on the competition. But when you combine Kafer's great narration of this book with Phipps great writing you have a winner. The Tower of Zhaal was even more enjoyable than Cthulhu Armageddon and took me on a roller coaster ride that I wasn't sure I was coming back from.

Title: The First Bird, Episode 1 Author: Greig Beck Narrator: Sean Mangan Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-13 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 449 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Matt Kearns, linguist, archaeologist and reluctant explorer from Beneath the Dark Ice and Black Mountain returns in his first full-time adventure. And this time he doesn't have Alex Hunter to save him when the stuff hits the fan. When a fame-hungry scientist brings an impossible, living specimen of a creature long thought extinct back from the wild jungles of South America he unwittingly brings along a passenger. Something with the potential to destroy every living thing on our planet. The infestation begins, rapidly overtaking medical resources and resisting all treatment. One woman knows the danger: Carla Nero, chief scientist of the Center for Disease Control. She makes Matt an offer he can't refuse and together they join a team heading to the deep jungle in a desperate race to locate the hidden place where the specimen was taken. Only by finding the location of the specimen can the team - and the world - hope to uncover the secret of how to survive the ancient, horrifying parasite that has been released. Members Reviews: Episode 1 was good but # 2 & 3 are not Enjoyed the first episode BUT annoyed that the book was released in three separate segments instead of just one. We have to pay more money this way. Episode 1 was good enough that I bought episodes 2&3 as soon as I finished the first. This was a mistake. Episode 2 became tedious with way too many "monsters" and deadly events. I also wanted more details as to what was happening back in the US. Have started Episode 3 but won't finish it. It lacks the promise of #1 and isn't worth my time. NO CROCODILES HERE, THEY GET EATEN 250,000 ACRES OF UNEXPLORED JUNGLE Remember the old black and white movies they would show on Saturday afternoon. Movies like the Creature of the Black Lagoon. This first episode is a movie like that, only on steroids. I might be a 56 year old man with the heart of an eleven year old boy, but I love this type of book. Also reminds me of Amazonia by James Rollins. An Indiana Jones type runs out of the jungle with a live specimen of the first bird. He brings it back to the United States. Then his skin starts falling off, for he brought back more then the bird. EPISODE ONE I read the reviews, so I was warned. The is not book one, this is an episode and it ends with a cliff hanger. Almost no issues have been resolved when this episode ends. I would have rather it had been a full book with sequels, but I knew what I was getting into and I will be getting episode 2. INSECTS DON'T KNOW FEAR This is good because of the story. The writing is not above average and the characters mostly suck. I thought he over did it with the Macho Man thing on two of the characters and I did not understand the rudeness of the FBI agent in the beginning. The story is always entertaining and it took me back to lazy Saturday afternoons, when I was Eleven. Probably the best time of life for most boys. The creatures are scary, such as the snake that swallows a man whole. A lot happens in this episode and it ends just when they get to the Lost Island scene (Conan Doyle). Narrator does a great job. A strong start This is a classic pulp style adventure into the jungles. Great characters, lots of adventure, very entertaining. When I finished this one, I couldn't wait to listen to the next one. One word of caution: the 3rd installment stinks, but the good news is that its not entirely needed for the story.

Title: Trophies Author: Todd Travis Narrator: Norman Gilligan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-17 Publisher: Cherry Hill Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Young beautiful women are disappearing. Different types, with different backgrounds, most with a lot of debt, few friends, and no close family to speak of. Gone. Someone is collecting trophies. Only one person can see it. Special Agent Emma Kane. Kane knows she'll need help on this ordeal. But the only man who can help her, famed profiler Jacob Thorne, is no longer speaking to her. The clock is ticking and Kane herself is now a target of whoever is doing this. As Kane gets closer to unlocking true cruel purpose the abducted women serve, the real question is not only will she survive what she finds, but can she handle what she discovers about Thorne and about herself? Emma Kane and Jacob Thorne are back in this thrilling sequel to Todd Travis' pulse-pounding debut novel Creatures of Appetite. Members Reviews: So much potential, so little time... Young, beautiful, single women in financial trouble are disappearing. The protagonists Emma Kane and Jacob Thorne are busy beating the pavement trying to find out what has happened to them and who is taking them. Who ever it is doesn't fit the standard profile that says when a man is obsessed with women he has a type that he sticks to. Other then the obvious good looks, the kidnapped women have nothing in common. Not race, hair color or occupation. Special Agent Emma Kane has a theory that that women are being collected like baseball cards but instead of for each player it's for each type and it's been going on for about 20 years. These women are trophies. There are so many twists and when the kidnapper decides to take Emma the suspense ratchets up a few notches. I really like this story and think if it had not been so short it could have easily been a great book. The problem is there is so much packed into this it becomes very predictable. The characters are very superficial and a plot with so much potential is never fully developed. Norman Gilligan does an excellent job narrating. I recommend this book for a quick light read when you are looking for something in between books that are more involved. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Bad!! For some unknown reason I stuck it out through this book, badly written, horrible narration and sounds like something written for a 15 year old. Wow!!! Final a surprise ending!!! Not many books really keep you guessing till the end, but this book delivered on that promise. Only negative that I can say is it had an annoying liberal verses conservative under tone. Is there nowhere we can escape from people airing their political grievances??? Wow!!! Great story!!! Should be a movie!! Fully got enthralled in the complexities of the characters. Thanks for the roller coaster! Want More!!! Much better than expected. Didnt love the narration but it didn't hinder the story. i loved this story. just enough romance and twist and turns. The main characters didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes and everyone wasn't drop dead beautiful (to an extent). if you like a mystery and a good thriller, i believe you'll like this stroy.

The suicides of six women in room six is too much of a coincidence for Nightingale and he is soon on the trail of a bloodthirsty demon. Members Reviews: pretty pointless I know I dont like short stories, i only have myself to blame. good narration though. Well written and entertaining tale Supernatural detective Jack Nightingale faces a demonic killer when he investigates a series of gory deaths in a Brighton hotel. Along with his sidekick Jenny, Nightingale must find a way to tempt the monster into a trap, but what will the shrewd sleuth use for bait? Stephen Leather is a bestselling thriller writer with an impressive track record. This story, however, is my first foray into the world of his paranormal detective, Jack Nightingale. Superbly narrated by actor Paul Thornley, Blood Bath has a running time of about an hour and a half. Its a well-written and clever tale that held my interest and left me wanting more. Its also worth pointing out that the Kindle edition is accompanied by six additional stories penned by fans of the author, whereas the Audible version (which I bought), includes only the title story. love this series great as always . can't wait for the next book hope it's longer . 10 out 10

Rich and manipulative, he wants to convert it into a glamorous getaway destination - The New Hope Experience. But will the restless ghosts of Seamus Ballantyne's 1825 colony allow the project to go to plan? Helena Davenport has an opportunity that could be pivotal in her career as an architect - Felix Baxter has commissioned her to oversee his New Hope vision. But nothing is as it seems in this mysterious part of the Scottish Hebrides. Helena's site manager is the first to go missing with one single eerie scream. Accompanied by the survivors of the last group to visit New Hope, Ruthie Gillespie must travel back to the island one final time to end this ordeal not only for those on the island but for themselves, too.... But is New Hope Island ever worth returning to? And will this concluding trip end a curse that has afflicted all who have had the misfortune to visit it for nearly two centuries? Members Reviews: 3rd time unlucky... Final book in the trilogy and the shark was well and truly jumped. Still loads of exposition, unnatural dialogue etc as well as dubious - "let's split up!" decisions by characters who should know better. The basic outline was a bit shaky - a hotel on an island which has that many deaths associated with it seems a stretch. The worst parts were the dialogues with the various supernatural creatures throughout the book which were laughably bad. All in all a "readable" trilogy which would be much improved by trimming a lot of the dialogue and keeping the monsters a bit more hidden. A very good read FG Cottam never disappoints. David Ritoul is an excellent narrator and perfect for this kind of story. unique Eloquent and a great story teller Francis ... a true artist . everyone a masterpiece his insight into the human mind and his wordsmithery are unequalled

The Stephen King Amusement Park - an unnerving experience, with rides every which way to hell...and a few to glory. A solitary finger pokes out of a drain. Novelty teeth turn predatory. The Nevada desert swallows a Cadillac. Meanwhile, the legend of Castle Rock returns...and grows on you. What does it all mean? What else could it mean? Stephen King is here with a powerful collection of stories - a vast, many-chambered cave of a volume. The long reach of Stephen King's imagination will take you on a roller coaster to places you've never been before. You will lose sleep. But Stephen King, writing to beat the devil, will do your dreaming for you. This edition includes an introduction read by Stephen King plus 'Suffer the Children' read by Whoopi Goldberg, 'Crouch End' read by Tim Curry, 'Rainy Season' read by Rob Lowe and more. The full list of stories and narrators: Members Reviews: Stories fantastic, music terrible, great writing and performance, but no idea why the incidental music was put in. Unnecessary, even if it had been good music, but seems to seep in at pointless moments, adding nothing except mild irritation. The soul of wit Let others pray for world peace: I simply pray for Stephen King to live line enough to write another volume of his fantastic short stories. For me, one of the signs of a great story is when you find the plot and characters coming to mind in the days after you finish reading them. This happened (and is still happening) with this collection. The sight of road works now always makes me think of a teacher with murder on his mind. I loved this collection - and what a fantastic team of narrators! Like a box of chocolates... At the risk of quoting a famous movie line, a book of short stories is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get until you listen to them, in this box there are some delicious and tasty morsels, and equally some which may turn your stomach. But go ahead and try and if you take a bite and don't like it, you can always put it back in the box! Good overall, but a mixed bag What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Some of the narrators are just great, and Stephen King himself crops up more than once to add his own contributions, which is a great touch. In fact, so does his wife, Tabitha King. Rob Lowe stood out as a particularly good narrator, and overall the contributions from such as Whoopi Goldberg and Matthew Broderick added a really nostalgic 80s touch that I really enjoy. The stories weren't all as tight as, say, The Night Shift, but it's definitely worth a listen. Recommended - with reservations. As usual, brilliance from Stephen King Short stories are sometimes dismissed in favour of longer reads. I think these, and his other short story collections, are superb and well worth a listen.

Title: The Vampire Armand Author: Anne Rice Narrator: Alfred Molina Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-00 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Now, travel with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion - and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance you see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood. As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul. The Vampire Armand is Volume 6 of The Vampire Chronicles. Members Reviews: favorite A Rice book but unabridged audio awful Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend only as a shadow of the book, as the unabridged audio is so wrong, What did you like best about this story? Far Too much to get into in such a short space here. What does Alfred Molina bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A wish that he, Simon Vance or any of the other A Rice audiobook readers would read the unabridged version of The Vampire Armand, Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No Any additional comments? I never bother with abridged books. When I was still able to read, this was by far my favorite Anne Rice book - one of my favorite books, period. However, while all the other vampire books are read by very talented readers, the reader of unabridged The Vampyre Armand was awful. There was no evidence of eternal youth or need or abandonment. He could have read a good older vampyre with no wit quite well, but not the man-child seeking love and redemption, feeling unlovable but needing love so much. So I not only bought hardcover and softcover copies of this book (2 softcover, as I marked up the first so much, rereading it often) and the unabridged audiobook, but I did what I never did before - I bought the abridged audiobook. Alfred Molina was still not Armand as I heard him in my head, but he was good. Unfortuneately, so much of Anne's poetry of words and deep struggles, moral conflicts and conflicting needs, sensuality and sexuality were lost in the abridgement of the prose and story. For such an incredible book and study in opposing moralities and exploration of emotions, I wish this masterpiece was given a great reader who could capture the essence of Armand in the unabridged version of The Vampire Armand. The best available audio version but only slightly If you do not need every tiny detail or would prefer brief and fewer depictions of sex scenes and just the essentials then the abridged version is what you are looking for. Molina as Armand is fantastic and easy on the ears even if he does not sound like a 17 year old boy from Kiev. Unfortunately, the other characters are not very distinct as he has little vocal variation. Molina's pronunciation of many words is also grating, for instance he pronounces Lestat as "Leshtaht". Quite annoying. If you absolutely need to experience every detail try the only unabridged audio option available. The narrator (Jonathan Marosz) is terrible as Armand and harsh on the ears although every other character is pretty good and decently distinct.

Out of the flooded streets of Houston, they emerge from plague-ridden waters. Dead. Rotting. Hungry. And as human survivors scramble to their rooftops for safety, the zombie hordes circle like sharks. The ultimate killing machines. They feed... Houston is quarantined to halt the spread of the zombie plague. Anyone trying to escape is shot on sight---living and dead. Emergency Ops sergeant Eleanor Norton has her work cut out for her. Salvaging boats and gathering explosives, Eleanor and her team struggle to maintain order. But when civilization finally breaks down, the feeding frenzy begins. They multiply... Biting, gnawing, feasting---but always craving more---the flesh-eaters increase their ranks every hour. With doomsday looming, Eleanor must focus on the people she loves---her husband and daughter---and a band of other survivors adrift in zombie-infested waters. If she can't bring them into the quarantine zone, they're all dead meat. Members Reviews: Unbelievable! (mild spoiler warning!) I've listened to almost all of the zombie novels available here. This book started out as what I thought was going to be the best written among them, going the extra step in character development where the other stories failed to do. The horror depicted with the aftermath of a series of Katrina-like storms was terrifying enough to stand on its own, even without the zombies! The big failing of the story comes when main character, a kind of dumpy middle-aged female patrol officer, in the midst of what is probably a world ending apocalypse, decides to risk the lives of herself and her surviving family members to take on some veteran hardcore seasoned SWAT team members that she believes looted some money from a submerged/ruined bank! There are mountains of drowned dead, disease, starvation, rioting, the cannibalistic zombies are running amok but unbelievably in the midst of this she gets a bee in her bonnet that 'stealing is just wrong!' She instantly develops a skill set (along with unbelievable strokes of luck time after time) to take on the SWAT team (John McClane would be envious!) and it just really goes downhill from there. The ending was so ludicrous and out of left field that it ruined what was otherwise turning out to be my favorite zombie story from audible. Very disappointing. The narrator could have been a lot better too, because he really has no skill in portraying the female character voices. Mediocre at best While not the worst zombie story out there, it is also far from the best. Slow and uninspired plot, and boring characters , it's an O.K. waste of a credit and a few hours. I found myself constantly checking the remaining time because I wanted to start something better. The reader is one of the WORST I have listened to on any audible title. The story itself is a 3 of 5 star. The performance is a 1 of 5. It would have been a MUCH better listen if he would have read in mono tone. I will really avoid getting anything read by this guy again. Liked the story BUT I really liked the book; so much so that I've listened to this book twice. However, I don't remember than the narrator irritated me so muc the first time around. But I only noticed the issue when Mr. McLaren tried vocals where the characters were yelling. The narrator made me want to throw my tablet out the window to avoid that horrible vocalization.

The grisly murders remind her all too much of her own father's death over 20 years ago. Now there is a killer in town who not only slays his victims, but also takes their skin. Undaunted, Randi prods the police as the murders continue, each more brutal than the last. When a close friend suddenly becomes a target, he is forced to reveal a startling secret about himself and Randi is quickly pulled into a dark world within her own town where monsters exist and prey on the living. Members Reviews: Well done Werewolf tale I was very impressed with this tale about a city full of Werewolves. The narrators were well spoken and clearly understood their characters. Although, I like the narration performace of the female much better than the male. The story was compelling and at times suspenseful. It's a new take on a classic genre. For anyone that like Werewolf stories, I suggest you give this audiobook a try. Will stretch your imagination. Martin takes an especially vulgar, stunningly realistic approach to writing his science fiction. And it's absolutely marvelous if you can get into it. He is an author, as I had learned from his other books, who is ruthlessly down-to-earth with his plots and is willing to kill off any characters that get in the way, whether they have "noble hearts" or not. This leaves you on the edge of your seat at all times, which is quite a contrast to the rather predicable majority of fiction authors. This short story is a wonderful and haunting tale that really brings to life some of the most basic elements of fantasy & science fiction. It recaptures the mystique that has been lately lost by the overdose of generic monsters in modern video games and movies. Skin Trade is a very unusual werewolf story, taking place in modern times and filled with Martin's vivid descriptions and clever twists. Typical of Martin's writing, it has a somewhat slow start, seeing as only one person dies on the first page. :P But don't worry, you'll quickly be captivated by the story if you stick around for the juicy parts. It does not matter if you like werewolves or not. If you like good fiction and don't have a weak stomach, then this book is for you. I have profoundly enjoyed all of Martin's books I have listened to so far, especially the Song of Ice and Fire series. Solid Werewolf Tale... Strange Narration I really enjoyed Skin Trade, despite the fact that it was WAY too short! My only problem with this novella was the fact that it was narrated in a funky manner. Two narrators seem to be tag-teaming the narration which makes this tape sound strange. One or the other, please...Or have the man narrate the male parts and the woman narrate the female parts... But instead they seem to be taking turns by chapter. Very weird. Overall, a great tale. Wish George had made it full length instead of just a short story!! The two readers are the worst aspect of this. If there was only one reader preforming this story it would feel like it had a much better flow. but for as fast as it goes it's a fun time. A gory romp full of werewolves, murder, and mayhem. Loved the handoff reading. I was not expecting a man/woman dual reading experience. Definitely add a lot to a light story.

The Night Parade Audiobook by Ronald Malfi

Title: The Night Parade Author: Ronald Malfi Narrator: Tom Taylorson Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 190 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A father and daughter try to survive the steady decline of all they know in this haunting thriller from award-winning author Ronald Malfi. First the birds disappeared. Then the insects took over. Then the madness began. They call it Wanderer's Folly - a disease of delusions, of daydreams and nightmares. A plague threatening to wipe out the human race. After two years of creeping decay, David Arlen woke up one morning thinking that the worst was over. By midnight, he's bleeding and terrified, his wife is dead, and he's on the run in a stolen car with his eight-year-old daughter, who may be the key to a cure. Ellie is a special girl - deep, insightful - and she knows David is lying to her. Lying about her mother. Lying about what they're running from. And lying about what he sees when he takes his eyes off the road. Members Reviews: Unfulfilling This is my second book by Malfi. I enjoyed the last. This was a major disappointment. It can be summed up easily: man with daughter possessing special abilities eludes bad guys in a pre apocalyptic world. Natural phenomena plagues them and is never explained away. Then the story ends. I kept waiting for something to happen. At hour ten I had the sinking feeling this was it, but hung in their for the surprise twist/ending. Nada. I can only believe this is the beginning of a series. Because the only other reason the book would end so quickly is the author had to escape a burning building. Save your money. Even the bugs were bad. Take half of the story star away above. As emotional a story as he ever told Ronald Malfi is one of the best. My original thought after finishing this book is that Malfi is one of the best horror authors out there, partly because of how he is able to creatively expand the limits of horror, but really, "horror" doesn't feel like an adequate qualifier for his work. I feel others hear "horror" and think of Chainsaw Massacre or Freddy Krueger...though there is a little Krueger mind games in this. They hear "horror" and think the story to come is going to be full of violence. Malfi has a little violence, but is mainly focused, as usual for his stories, on the relationship between parents and their children. His work in this book is an outstanding vignette on loss and the desire to survive and provide for your children in a terrifying world. In The Night Parade, there is a virus that scientists can't explain how it is transmitted, and which turns people mad until they lose it and take their lives. A father has swept his daughter onto a cross country trip as he fears that virus is infecting him. In this aspect, it is unsettling, and as he tries to keep his daughter safe, not only from this virus, but also the collapsing world around them, we are taken on a dark and emotionally deep experience. For me, good horror is that which makes me want to hold my family tighter, and this is one of the best examples I've read. The end brought tears as the unexpected turn opened a flood of emotion I didn't think possible. As to the audiobook quality: the narrator does a great job, and the production is spot on. Mixed feelings Is there anything you would change about this book? The ending was absolutely cliched and incredibly stupid. It ruined an otherwise good book that for whatever reason touched me and kept my interest.

Innocent though they seem, these kids come out at night - to hunt. When Joe returns with his wife and two young children to the peaceful mountain town of Colony, West Virginia, he doesnt expect to find the girl who disappeared when he was a boy. But she remembers Joe and her other friends who left her behind in a deep well within a mysterious barn. Now, she's out for blood. Is she a vampire? Or something more demonic... Whatevers lurking in the old mines under the town has been disturbed by Joes return. Joe did something when he was a boy - something that stopped the terror and evil from erupting. But now, a creature living in darkness wants out. Its going to use the children of Colony to exact its revenge...Its hour has come round at last - in The Childrens Hour. Editorial Reviews: Bram Stoker award-winning author Douglas Cleggs most celebrated novel, The Childrens Hour, becomes terrifyingly real in this nuanced performance by Derek Shetterly. Writer Joe Gardner reluctantly returns to his hometown, Colony, West Virginia, with his family and walks back in to a nightmare. He hides a dark secret from his childhood, and he knows that an evil force is still at large in Colony. Shetterlys characterization and interpretation heightens the terror that suffuses every moment of this horror classic. Called, "the best horror writer of the post-Stephen King generation", Clegg will not disappoint with this one. Members Reviews: Welcome home, Joe. Weve been waiting... A dark and atmospheric novel of small town life and the evil that lives directly beneath the surface. It may have dragged a wee here and there, but it didnt spin me out of the story and the slower interludes didnt last long. Not that this is a fast novel to begin withbecause it isnt. It isnt supposed to be. Mr. Clegg takes his time getting you familiar with the characters and the colorful backstory of Colony, West Virginia. And then all hell breaks loose... Welcome home, Joe. Weve been waiting. All of us. cool story well narrated neat spooky small-town-horror thriller great for Halloween. original and interesting premise executed well. made me curious about the author's other works Spooky! Creepy kids are my downfall and this has plenty. High creepiness factor. Enjoyable narration. Totally worth it. so much potential What would have made The Children's Hour better? There was no focal point. The story was rather disjointed. Tell me why the main character, if there is one, is so "special" and why I should care about him. What does Abaddon have to do with this story? What about Derek Shetterlys performance did you like? His voice is soothing and he doesn't try to do voices. It's annoying when narrators do voices e.g. men mimicking women or worse, women mimicking men What character would you cut from The Children's Hour? John and his family because there was no clear cut reason why I should care about him. very interesting novel Easy to follow plot in spite of having too many characters to keep track of. The author makes the drama feel fully personal.

What happened here, on a historic horse ranch outside Nashville, during the Civil War? And what's happening now? Olivia Gordon works at the Horse Farm, a facility that assists patients with mental and physical recovery; her specialty is animal therapy. She's always loved her job, always felt safeuntil now. People are dying, starting with the facility's founder, whose body is discovered in a ravine on the property - site of a massacre in 1862. And before every death, Liv sees a horse and rider, wearing a soldier's garb, in the night sky. Warning? Omen? Or clue? Liv calls in her cousin Malachi and his Krewe, an FBI unit of paranormal investigators, to discover the truth. New Krewe member Dustin Blake knows they need Liv's involvement in the case, yet he's worried about her safety. Because he and Liv quickly become more than colleaguesand he doesn't want to lose her to the endless night. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Luke Daniels has many characters to field in this addition to the Krewe Hunters series. His resonant voice is perfect for Olivia's romantic interest, Dustin Blake, a new recruit in the FBI's unit of investigators with paranormal powers. Daniels's delivery of narrative is smooth, and his character portrayals and transitions are flawless. Listeners will enjoy this addition to the series." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Predictable I have listened to many of Ms. Graham's books now and though they are generally entertaining I feel they are very predictable. It's like there is a template being used and she just fills in new names and events. It's time to shake it up a little & throw your readers off! Would have been better without the narrator Okay, I'm from the Nashville area and the narrator's accent killed the story. Maybe people sound like this in Hicksville somewhere, but no one speaks with an accent like that here! It killed the story for me, and it was all I could do to listen to the story's conclusion. The storyline was a bit anticlimactic as well for me. I had guessed who the culprit was chapters before already. Not overly impressed with this book. Not this author's best work, but decent The story was good, if a bit too similar to her previous books in this series. I'm not overly fond of this trend in paranormal series in which it seems like the same outline is used repeatedly, with little more than a change of names and locales. if the Krew picks up a new recruit with every single case, with nothing more to recommend them than the ability to communicate with the dead, the FBI is going to be overrun with unqualified agents. My biggest complaint with this book, however, was the narrator. I'm sure he's a good voice actor, but I found the accents and especially the women's voices jarring and annoying. It's hard to stay immersed in a story when you're disliking the characters because of their irritating voice, or jarred by an incredibly fake voice. Beautiful Historic Places Ignite Love and Mystery! This story in Krewe of Hunters was one of my favorites! I love the gentle twist of the "Spirits" collaborating with the investigations. This book in particular offered wonderful insight into this historic area of the country as well as what might happen to our loved ones as they transition into the next life.

What they will find instead is terror in the form of a violent psychopath and his mother, a powerful witch. Members Reviews: Great camping mystery I had never before read any of Laymon's work but I am a fan of C.J. Box, Steven King, Dean Koontz, Blake Crouch, ect, and Dark Mountain showed up as a recommendation. As an outdoorsman and traveler myself, I very much enjoyed the storyline of the camping trip. Laymon provides wonderful imagery in the California wilderness and spins a very creepy tale of two families brought together and forced to try to survive a brutal attack and subsequent satanic curse. The "marked" members of the group begin to experience strange freak accidents and near misses, and not everyone will survive. Though the ending was sort of predictable, it was by no means boring, and was still a fun read. There are twists and mysteries aplenty in-store! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys novels with themes of murder, mystery, and the occult. This was a great read for laying in bed in the dark! Three Stars Good story line but repeated the story line to much just filling in paper Campers Vs. Witch Campers Vs. Witch. "Dark Mountain" is a tedious read. Broken into three sections, this dull tale of carefree campers running afoul of a hillbilly witch and her psychotic son is as painful as the descriptions of the camper's sore feet as they climb toward the supernatural. This book would have made a better novella. Way too much time is spent on descriptions of everything, especially the sex going on between characters. Teenage romance is dragged across the pages; much of the book feels like filler. Laymon apparently gets hot over telling the reader about erections and breasts. More soft core porn than horror going on here. The supernatural elements aren't fleshed out very well. Mommy the Witch and Merle the Psycho Son evidently worship Satan, or something. Mommy has powers and curses the campers when they end up killing Merle. The finale is a frenzy of head bashing and decapitation and naked breasts. Perhaps the author thought this would make a good movie, so the overall impression is that this is a treatment for a screenplay. Not worth wasting your time on. a bit like Final Destination. Good old Laymon. A very nice and suspenseful holiday read. Good old Laymon has never let me down. I really liked the sense of adventure in this book - I felt like hiking there myself. This book is not too scary or gore as compared to his other ones but it reads fast and you can't put it down. When the witch casts a bad spell on the hikers it is a bit like the movie Final Destination. I certainly recommend this one. A Compelling Mess I decided to have a go at a Richard Laymon novel after reading many positive reviews of his work here on amazon.com. After finishing DARK MOUNTAIN, I can say this book is a compelling mess of genres: outdoor adventure, teen romance, witchery and mayhem. The end result is kind of like a novelized EC Comic, with its pulp elements and lurid appeal firmly in place. Laymon does have a morbid, juvenile obsession with the female anatomy and rape that seems to carry through his work. At times, it makes for uncomfortable reading, so be warned if you're sensitive to female exploitation.

I hope to see more in this series!! good read liked the book and the spin off from the other books. good to hear from the other characters and how there lives went Great post apocalyptic series! I have blown through the series in less than a week and absolutely loved it! I hope that there are more books, because Im so attached to the characters I dont want for the story to end! Even if the coming books are about other people I will still read them because I have thoroughly enjoyed the series! I will definitely be checking out the authors other books! My only complaint is that I wish there was more. Any additional comments? I think the author was limited by containing this into one book. I did enjoy it but found myself wishing there was more than one book in this side series so we could hear more about the character. Decent book. Great narrator.

Title: The Ghost Writer Author: John Harwood Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 12-10-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 109 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: In this tantalizing tale of Victorian ghost stories and family secrets, timid, solitary librarian Gerard Freeman lives for just two things: his elusive pen pal Alice and a story he found hidden in his mother's drawer years ago. Written by his great-grandmother Viola, it hints at his mother's role in a sinister crime. As he discovers more of Viola's chilling tales, he realizes that they might hold the key to finding Alice and unveiling his family's mystery - or will they bring about his untimely death, as they seem to foretell? Harwood's astonishing, assured debut shows us just how dangerous family skeletons - and stories - can be. Members Reviews: A modern master of the Gothic In 2004, I took "The Ghost Writer" on a long, dreaded flight. By the time the plane landed, I knew I would be reading everything Harwood published for the rest of my life. Listening to Simon Vance's performance was such a treat. It's like when you listen to a piece of music and love it on an emotional level, then listen again to find the deeper structure and beauty. "The Ghost Writer" is all the more impressive ten years after. Harwood plays fair and respects his reader. All the clues are there but he expects you to pay attention and think things through. His foreshadowing is subtle and well-timed. There is no dumping of information or meaningless backstory, and every scene contributes to the advancement of the plot. His writing is masterful, and as a poet, some of his imagery is arresting, but his prose never calls attention to itself. Add to that compelling characters and layers of intriguing mysteries waiting to be solved, and you've got a writer worth reading every time. In a world of overwritten, self-conscious twaddle we are told is "literature," modern masters like Harwood shine all the more brightly. He provides everything I read fiction for and I hope he will continue to write novels for many years to come. Spellbinding... left something to be be desired. There was so much about this novel that I absolutely loved. I spent most of the novel awestruck at the well entangled composition. Like many other reviews, the last chapter left me feeling incomplete. I read and reread it and finally drew my own conclusions. The ending didn't by any means ruin the rest of this spellbinding novel. I would still highly recommend it. Ghostly Cornucopia If you're looking for a good ghost story for the Halloween season, this one is a good bet. Allusions to creepy literary spinstersHenry James's Miss Jessel and Dickens's Miss Havishamcreate the atmosphere for this gothic suspense novel. The protagonist grows up in Australia with a mother who refuses to speak about the details of her childhood in England. As he grows older, he becomes increasingly curious about his mother's reasons for leaving England and her reluctance to talk about her past. He returns to England and begins to piece together what might have happened, discovering short ghost stories written by his great-grandmother, Viola. These wonderfully spooky tales, filled with supernatural occurrences and séances, are interwoven into the main narrative and offer tantalizing clues about the family's history. The narrative can get a bit confusing at times, as we jump between Viola's stories and the protagonist's life, something that probably is a bit more of a challenge in the audio format.

Title: My Name Is Lydia Author: Stephen Leather Narrator: Paul Thornley Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-17 Publisher: Isis Publishing Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Business has been slow for Jack Nightingale, but an appointment with a Catholic priest leads to an interesting new case. Eleven-year-old Christine Warren has been showing worrying signs of developing an alternate personality, who goes by the name of Lydia. It's up to Nightingale to find out whether she's been possessed, or if there's something more to Lydia.... Members Reviews: Excellent Jack Nightingale short story Jack Nightingale is my favorite Stephen Leather creation. I've read and loved all 6 novels (although the most recent one, SAN FRANCISCO NIGHTS was the weakest of them all and a tad disappointing) and some of the Jack short stories. This one, MY NAME IS LYDIA, is a perfect micro version of a typical Jack Nightingale novel. Jack is called in by a family friend of Jenny's (his girl Friday) to help with her friend's 11 year old daughter, Christine, who has started behaving oddly. Jack susses out the situation pretty quickly and then has to figure out what to do about it. To say more risks unnecessary spoilers. If you are looking for a very quick bedtime read (31 pages, about 30 minutes or so), you can't do any better than this. Highly recommended. JM Tepper Great read This was a great read that was unicorn and extremely entertaining. I have enjoyed every one of the Jack Nightingale stories to this point. TOO FRUSTRATING! BUT here's the thing ... I'll never read another Jack Nightingale short story ... They're so good and suspenseful and then THEY DON'T HAVE AN ENDING!!! I need another complete book! Great ending I'm a big of JN and this short story was up to its usual high standards. I'm hoping that there I'd a new novel soon. Best of the Jack Nightingale short stories. A Jack Nightingale short set in London prior to "Lastnight." Good solid story that introduces a Proserpine plot thread that has yet to be fully developed. I'd like to see Lydia reintroduced in a novel-length Nightingale story in the future.

Chills Audiobook by Mary SanGiovanni

Title: Chills Author: Mary SanGiovanni Narrator: Chris Abell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: True Detective meets H.P. Lovecraft in this chilling novel of murder, mystery, and slow-mounting dread from acclaimed author Mary SanGiovanni.... It begins with a freak snowstorm in May. Hit hardest is the rural town of Colby, Connecticut. Schools and businesses are closed, powerlines are down, and police detective Jack Glazier has found a body in the snow. It appears to be the victim of a bizarre ritual murder. It won't be the last. As the snow piles up, so do the sacrifices. Cut off from the rest of the world, Glazier teams up with an occult crime specialist to uncover a secret society hiding in their midst. The gods they worship are unthinkable. The powers they summon are unstoppable. And the things they will do to the good people of Colby are utterly, horribly unspeakable.... Members Reviews: Atmospheric, bone-chilling cosmic horror Kathy Ryan has problems. Her brother is a psychopath who tried to kill her when they were young, and now a band of cultists have unleashed an otherworldly invasion on the otherwise quiet town of Colby, Connecticut. Kathy is also emotionally drained from her job battling supernatural monsters. Guarding the inter-dimensional gateway against ancient intruders is difficult work, described in Chills as: âIt was science and science fiction and magic and religion and physics and mathematics all sort of rolled into one.â And: âThis here is the language of creation and destruction itself, the language that echoes the sound of the Convergence, the substance between dimensions and the space between the stars.â It is no wonder that Kathy drinks. Heavily. Mary SanGiovanni creates an otherworldly winter wonderland in Chills. Described as âH.P. Lovecraft meets True Detective,â Chills reads more like a road episode of the X-Files, if Fox and Mulder or combined into one powerful female protagonist. Kathy has help on her quest to shut the inter-dimensional doorway and keep the world-eating Old Gods out. Teagan not only provides a romantic foil for Kathy, he also helps her solve a linguistics problem (who knew Old Gods spoke Gaelic? Top oâ the morninâ, Cthulu!) Detective Jack Glazier loses a loved one, but saves the day, surviving a face-to-tentacle brush with the Old Gods. SanGiovanni makes magnificent monsters, from her Blue People, to her fish-headed assassins, to the messy tentacle-monsters at the novelâs conclusion. But her finest achievement is the way she transforms the weather itself into a fully flesh-out character in Chills. The snow is alive, spawning screaming creatures who âsound not much different in timbre from the waling gust of wind.â Old Man Winter is a mean bully. âThe creatures, though, had raised an incredible din. It sounded to Jack like wind and thunder, and it was growing louder.â The backbone of this novel is Kathyâs relationship with her damaged brother, Toby. SanGiovanni does an excellent job describing Tobyâs detachment: âEverything is happening around you and youâre in the center of it, but youâre not real, not really there. Youâre just . . . superimposed on the world.â And the suffering of individuals with mental disorders: âIt was unsettling to watch anyone die slowly of intellectual malnutrition in the deserted wasteland of a broken mindââ SanGiovanni is at her best when sheâs world-building (or, other-world building, as the case my be).

Silence in the House Audiobook by Natasha A. Salnikova

Salnikova Narrator: J.K. Carpenter Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Natasha A. Salnikova Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A chilling tale for everyone who enjoys dark supernatural stories with a twist. When Lana ran away from her abusive husband, she never would have believed things could be any worse. Then, she bought a new house, the house of her dreams. But the house of her dreams could turn out to be her biggest nightmare. Will she survive? Members Reviews: Sorry but narrator was terrible! The book would have been much better and easier to listen to if the narrator wasn't so robot like! Why would you chose this guy to read to us! After spending money on the book you have to listen to it, it was hard to get through. Narrating should be as good as the book, this guy made the book horrible. Domavoy Crossing Ahead!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Most definitely so. It has suspense and solid character development, along with just enough "Believe-ability" to make it an entertaining story. What other book might you compare Silence in the House to and why? This book was unique enough in the storyline that it's hard to compare it to an existing book.It has the classic haunted house vibe thing going on, but the Russian style story-telling keeps it refreshing. For what its worth in comparison...maybe a softened version of The Amityville Horror? What does J.K. Carpenter bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I like his ability to drift from one character to another in the story, while making it flow and keeping it entertaining. His rendition of Spike was priceless for the character in the story. If you could take any character from Silence in the House out to dinner, who would it be and why? I think it would be Lana's friend Allison. She has that no nonsense approach towards life in general. She pulls no punches, you pretty much know where you stand with her at all times.And then there's her cynical sense of humor that really adds to the story. But best of all...she doesn't put up with any of Spike's BS. Any additional comments? I think listeners will really enjoy this story. If you like suspense/thrillers with a good plot and unexpected twists and turns...you've found the right audiobook. The narrator is AWFUL!!!! The story itself is pretty good. However, the narrator is the most Ausel I have ever heard!! The author of this book should be embarrassed by his performance and ask someone else to do it! RUN RUN RUN... from thIS "narrator"! I've heard lots of bad recordings, narrators, etc. I have heard readings of books that sounded like they were being narrated in a bathroom. I have NEVER heard such a ridiculously, HORRIBLY BAD narrator. He sounded so hokey and juvenile. I'm not sure the story was bad so much as I know I cannot finish it because of this. He read it like a 2nd grader would read a book report...over enunciation and pronouncing the word picture as "pitcher". He would chop sentences and pause in the most annoying places. Bottom line: If you see anything read by J.K. Carpenter, PLEASE KEEP LOOKING. Narrator An excellent horror story that was partially ruined for me by absurd voices used for the women characters.

Title: The Haunting of Winchester Mansion Subtitle: Book 1 Author: Alexandria Clarke Narrator: Tia Rider Sorensen Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-17 Publisher: DBS Publishing LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The small town of Black Bay appears quaint and friendly at first glance, but newcomers Bailey and Bodhi Taylor soon discover that all is not what it seems. Their house is haunted, there's a murderer on the loose, and none of the locals seem to know what really happened to the beloved Winchester family 20 years ago. It's up to Bailey and Bodhi to figure out what secrets Black Bay is hiding. Members Reviews: An enjoyable read.... Well done. Well written and edited. Hard to tell what is real and what is not. Kept me guessing until 3/4 way into the book. Another cliffhanger. I would have preferred they just complete the novel. Guess I will have to see if there is another one out yet. But in all an enjoyable read. A very haunting, entertaining read ! A young couple who flip houses, and write a blog for a living buy an old house in a cozy little town. As they begin to renovate, strange things begin to happen. Could this wonderful little town hide much more than it seems ? Easy Reading I have so enjoyed the first two installments and looking forward to the third. Of course it ended in a cliff hanger. I am happy to see Bailey and Bohdi working out their marriage issues. I will report back after #3. Great 2nd book. I was sucked into this one and found it very hard to put down. Somehow I knew who did it but there are other characters I can't quite figure out yet. Onto the 3rd book.! Best book ever Hillbillies! I want more. Just finished book one. I can't get book 2 yet.this is the best set of stories I have read in a long time. Can't wait to get book2.

Title: Brother Author: Ania Ahlborn Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 149 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he's sure that someday he'll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he's immediately smitten. For a moment he nearly forgets about the monster he's become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place.... Critic Reviews: "This relentlessly grim tale is most definitely not for the squeamish, but it's nearly impossible to put down." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Very messed up book! Book grabbed my attention from the start and flew through it in 3 days. Definitely recommend if looking for a jacked up book to keep your mind wondering! Worth the credit. In my love them or leave them world - this was a love them book. I notice many reviewers seem to leave a critique of the book - and if I am supposed to do that - pardon me. I feel as though my responsibility to another potential reader is not to provide a step by step "grading" of the book but to simply state if I personally enjoyed the book and thought it was both time and money well spent. In this case Brother meets both of those criteria and I am glad that it is now a part of my library. Why??? It was so close Great story. The narrator was the death of this book. I won't listen to anything else he narrates. ATE IT RIGHT UP Another great Ania Alhborn title. With finely realized characters and a hefty dose of place and time, Brother is suspensful and subtle (but not too boringly subtle), and will certainly appeal to fans of horror and dark suspense. The novel may not appeal to those who need a solid line between the bad and the good, but I think most will find this novel well worth the price of admission. meh What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? it had the potential to be a good story...maybe...it just wasn't very good What was most disappointing about Ania Ahlborns story? So predictable, you could see early on what was going to happen then it took FOREVER to get there. What didnt you like about Paul Boehmers performance? it was almost too dramatic You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? None come to mind Any additional comments? Aspen's don't grow in West Virginia...the author might want to research her locations a little better...little stuff like that just bugs me.

Title: The Daylight Gate Author: Jeanette Winterson Narrator: Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-25-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The Daylight Gate, an instant best seller in the UK, is award-winning Jeanette Wintersons singular vision of a dark period of complicated morality, sex, and tragic plays for power in a time when politics and religion were closely intertwined. After the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, every Catholic conspirator in England fled to a wild, untamed place far from the reach of London law. On Good Friday, 1612, deep in the woods of Pendle Hill, amid baptismal pools and low, thick fog, a gathering of 13 is interrupted by the local magistrate. Two of their coven have already been imprisoned for witchcraft and are awaiting trial, but those who remain are vouched for by the wealthy and respected Alice Nutter. Shrouded in mystery and gifted with eternally youthful beauty, Alice is established in Lancashire society and insulated by her fortune. Yet she is also plagued by rumors of a dark and torrid love affair with another woman, the matriarch of the notorious Demdike clan. As those accused of witchcraft retreat into darkness, Alice stands alone as a realm-crosser, a conjurer of powers that will either destroy her or set her free. Members Reviews: waste of time. Probably could have been a suspenseful thriller if it had been given more thought and time to develop the characters. I pretty much went away disliking all the characters and hoping all of them would end up being drowned as witches.

Title: Audrey Rose Author: Frank De Felitta Narrator: Matt Godfrey Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 08-21-17 Publisher: Valancourt Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The Templeton family's peaceful lives are plunged into chaos when their young daughter, Ivy, begins to be stalked by a strange man who believes their daughter is the reincarnation of his daughter, Audrey Rose, who died in a fiery car crash. Frank De Felitta's Audrey Rose (1975) was one of the best-selling horror novels of the decade, selling over 3.5 million copies, and it remains a chilling classic of modern horror. Members Reviews: Old-School Horror Any additional comments? Well this was a seriously pleasant change of pace from my normal horror listens! I could tell that 'Audrey Rose' was written in the past based on some of advancements in society, not based on how relevant it is to today. I think this story very much holds it's own in 2017. It starts out as a good old fashioned stalker story but quickly turns into a merry-go-round of what's possible in the human mind. A large portion of this book takes place in a court room and asks that the listener, along with the jury, ponder the feasibility of reincarnation. While the trial takes place, there is no shortage of spooky/paranormal happenings for the reader. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror/thriller/paranormal genre content and who also enjoys a good classic! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Excellent narration for a so-so story *I was given a free audio book in exchange for an unbiased review by Valancourt Books* I completely concur with others who have complained that the story gets bogged down in the second half by the courtroom drama. I found it extremely dull. The first part was very riveting and well written. I was especially impressed with the atmosphere created by the author (remember when it wasn't so easy to reach people by phone??? And when you have an emergency what do you do??) Matt Godfrey's narration is, as always, fantastic. On a side note, I think someone needs to write a sequel: the dystopian future where the courts have ruled reincarnation is real and families are broken up because of it...... INCREDIBLE READ I am at a loss for words, which is unusual for me. It was difficult to stop listening to this remarkably written and narrated work. All I can say is, "just read it." I was terrified, creeped out and sitting on pins a Audrey Rose is a serious and well written story about a small child who died in a fiery crash and has come back reincarnated as Ivy Templeton. Audrey father, Elliot Hoover has spent years learning about reincarnation and Hinduism and more to find peace and determine if a psychics words that Audrey is alive and well, living in New York is true. Hoover becomes a weird stalker type trying to convince the Templetons that he needs to be in Ivys life as she is his Audrey Rose. As good parents, the Templetons try to stop Hoover but ultimately during the court case, psychiatrists are called in and there discover the truth the horrifying truth. As a parent whose son was born within minutes of the Space Shuttle exploding in 1986 (I was grateful he was born first!), I understand the fears that parents can experience. Frank De Felitta plays on those fears and many more.

But there is a far deeper vein of horror running through this village; an evil that, once invoked, has no intention of relinquishing its grip on the modern world. Rather, it watches and waits with a focused intelligence, leaving ward sister Becky and police officer Toby constantly checking over their shoulders and jumping at shadows. Just who invited in this malevolent presence? And is the demonic woman who possessed Magda back in the 16th century the same one now gazing at Becky whenever she looks in the mirror? You may need to sleep with the lights on after listening to this...Are you ready to meet Magda in this final installment to the trilogy? Are you sure? Members Reviews: The worst thing is that it is over Awesome series. I enjoyed each book very much. They tied together so well and the characters were amazing. A totally unique experience. Wonderful End to a Great Trilogy Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes, so spooky and fun! I'd recommend this trilogy for a great Oct. read! What does Henrietta Meire bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Henrietta Meire is spectacular in all her books! Loved the entire trilogy! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes Who was your favorite character and why? All the characters were believable and sympathetic Any additional comments? I can't wait to read more from this author! Chillingly and hauntingly good! This story kept me on the edge of my seat. I never listened to it at night, only during the day! Great final book to this disturbing trilogy This book tied things up well to end the series coherently and answer the lingering questions left from book 2. Although I love detailed character and scene development, I really like Sarah Englands style of briefly describing incidents like exorcisms, and the trauma of Ruby and Alice, she gives you enough detail that you can picture/imagine the rest. The end is like that too, really liked the way she closed the series. Having left it open enough to carry on the story, I hope she will start another trilogy, perhaps about Molly...

This book was a new listing and didn't have any reviews. I was in the mood for a horror/scary book and thought I'd give this a try. Oh what a waste. The format of this story is written as a script to a movie, or 3 movies it seems. I just couldn't get into it. Occasionally I could visualize the story and thought Ah ha! Now it's going to get better. But unfortunately those moments were fleeting. I had to start and restart the novel several times and found that I would zone out I was so bored and have to relisten. I only made it about 1/3 of the way through this aubible book before I couldn't take it anymore. The story had interesting parts and if written in a different form may have succeeded. And it might make a good scary movie but as an audio book it was awful, spare your credit and choose something else Don't do it!!Written as a movie script frustrating Written as a movie script. Really frustrating to listen to. Could not get into this book, even though I like the story concept. No idea why they wrote it this way!

That's a question that needs answering quickly when the gates to Hell open up all over Earth. Taking place across the globe is an apocalypse like no other, as humanity finds itself at war against a smart and merciless foe. Follow the struggles of survival with several characters, as things go from bad to worse. Humanity is dwindling. Vamps has never been anything more than a kid on the streets, but when those streets become a war zone, he and his childhood friends are forced to step up and become heroes - not an easy thing to do for a bunch of gangsters. It doesn't help matters that a rival gang is also out for their blood and that a group of humans seem to be helping the enemy. Hernandez is a US Navy Lieutenant with a bright, neatly planned future. That is until the world ends and a chance encounter with a rogue Coast Guard Captain leaves his future in disarray. It will take a lot of hard work, planning, and manipulation to take back the reigns of his destiny, and punish those who have crossed him. Richard Honeywell is a police office at a time when being a police officer is the least safe thing a person can do. The world is at war, but Richard still has a duty to keep the peace and protect the citizens of the United Kingdom. Yet, how can he do that when his own family are in danger? People are looking to him for leadership, but how do you lead army of civilians to certain death? The world must come together and fight back against the unstoppable Legions of Hell, because no one is coming to help them. The monsters are real and they will not stop. Welcome to Hell. Members Reviews: Book 2 What did you like best about this story? This is book two of the Hell on Earth series. Legion takes place parallel to events in book one. We see what these smaller, but not less interesting, characters were doing during book one and we see their stories catch up to present. Good follow up in the series Loved book 2!! I devoured book 1 of this and couldn't wait to listen to this one as 2 ended on a cliffhanger of sorts. Well, this was just as good!! While this is book 2, it also tells the stories of some of the minor characters from book 1 from when the rocks first appear and continues on the stories of the major characters of book 1. I absolutely loved that the author did this!! It was awesome to figure out Vamps' story and get to know his ragged group more. We meet Hernandez, whose life doesn't go according to his plans. We meet Richard, a police officer trying to do his job, all the while trying to keep his wife and son alive! We also get to see how Guy, Rick and a few of the other characters are doing. As with the first, the author sure knows how to tell a tale!! His characters are amazing. Vamp and his buddies are thugs but step up when things go to hell. Hernandez is crazy and boy does the author write him well!! Richard was awesome. He is brave but is also just a man. He knows his job is to protect civilians, but he also just wants to grab his wife and son and run and hide. Each was so well written and developed' Again, the plot was fast paced and addicting.

The two things that conjured up that horrible night, were his run of luck at the Wheel of Fortune, and the mask.... Meet Johnny Smith. A young man whose streak of luck ends dramatically in a major car crash. Followed by blackness. A long, long time in cold limbo. When he wakes up life has been turned upside down. His fiancée has met someone else. And Johnny is cursed with the power to perceive evil in men's souls. He's had these hunches since he had an ice-skating accident as a child. Now he has an ability to see into the future. An ability which will bring him into a terrifying confrontation with a charismatic, power-hungry and dangerous man.... James Franco is an actor, director, artist and writer. His film appearances include Milk, Pineapple Express, Spring Breakers, Howl, and 127 Hours, which earned him an Academy Award nomination. He is the author of the novel Actors Anonymous, the collection Palo Alto, and the memoir A California Childhood. His writing has been published in Esquire, Vanity Fair, N+1, The Wall Street Journal, and McSweeney's; and his art has been exhibited throughout the world including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and MoMA PS1 in New York. Members Reviews: W.O.W. ! ! ! James Franco read this book suberbly! I enjoyed it tremendously and will be listening to it again very soon!! The Bright Light of a Master Story-Teller! Stephen King is a master of his craft. For me he is at his very best when he is at his most epic so books like It and The Stand are my personal favourites. This is smaller in ambition and scope but still produces an ultimately satisfying read. King imbues his stories with incredible details and the everyday is often imbued with ominous portent. Themes and icons repeat, twist and develop gradually revealing their full relevance to the reader. This plot is a relatively slow burn, King is in no hurry to bring his two main protagonists together. Their stories are built and gradually threaded into each other as a humble English teacher is propelled towards dangers and evils through unfortunate accidents and the psychic abilities they leave him with. This is writing as good as anything in the genre. The narration by James Franco is a natural fit for the atmosphere of the book. Occasionally it feels languid and he doesn't have the greatest of ranges of voices but he delivers the most important scenes in excellent fashion. While it may be seen as a slow burn it is also an incredibly bright one as it moves to what I thought was a fabulously handled conclusion. Possibly the greatest book on audible!!! Wow what a fantastic book!! I urge you to read it!! The narration is fantastic, and the story is fantastic, it's well worth your time and money to buy this!! King could of done better. Franco the difference. For King OK (Not his best) mid portion more climatic than the final chapters. James Franco smashed this one out of the park! What a paring! Fabulous story. Amazing performance. Hooked from start to finish. Relentless momentum built and a thoughtful finish. I recommend this if you know the plot. I'm jealous if you don't because this is a great way to hear the story.

Murray Abraham Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-00 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 360 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Interview with the Vampire is Volume 1 of The Vampire Chronicles. Critic Reviews: "Unrelentingly erotic...Sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable." (The Washington Post) "An unmitigated terror trip not meant for the weak of heart." (The Cincinnati Enquirer) Members Reviews: Where's the ending???? So, the interviewer (the boy) goes "down to the corner bar where his car was parked" and then Audible goes to the music and says I hope you have enjoyed this audiobook ????? Wha??!! I have listened to audiobooks for several years now and abridged ones on many occasions but this one is ridiculous! Where is the ending??? The attempt to shorten the book is alright considering they wanted to do so but what the heck??? There is no ending! Audible...you messed this one up! And why is the unabridged version NOT available?? Thanks but no thanks..I want my credit back! Disapointed with Reader I loved this book when I originally read it years ago. After reading all the rest of the Vampire Chronicles, I was anxious to revisit this one. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The reader came off like an old Dracula movie, not the all too human vampire that Lestat was in the book. In addition, the abridged version left way too much out. If an unabridged version comes out with a better reader, such as the man who read The Vampire Armand or Memnoch the Devil, I will gladly trash my copy of this version in favor of a better rendition. Disappointed I loved this book the first time that I read it years ago. I was very unhappy, however, with this abridged version, and the sound quality was far below what I have come to expect from Audible. Too much missing The story is ok for an abridged version but it's missing a lot of good stuff. My all-time Favourite Anne Rice story If you could sum up Interview with the Vampire in three words, what would they be? Riveting, fantastical and sumptuous. What other book might you compare Interview with the Vampire to and why? I would make a comparison on the way Rice captures the age and time of Paris, New York and the ol' South to the way Dicken describes it in his 'Tale of Two Cities'. What about F. Murray Abrahams performance did you like? I think the narrator was great. Who was the most memorable character of Interview with the Vampire and why? Louis, but of course. His character reveals itself in its true form throughout the book and its his emotional tale that pulls at the heart strings in this first installment in the trilogy.

A girl with a second head that changes into different historical and fictional identities tries to find her father while figuring out how to handle Mom and the book club. A blog documents society's slow, unexplained, but inexorable end, or is it only a collection of pixel-sized paranoia?

Powerful, emotional and unforgettable; these are stories that work their way into your brain and into your heart. Highly recommended." (Ann Vandermeer, Hugo Award-winning editor of Weird Tales) "These finely crafted, often oblique stories exhibit formidable analytical intelligence. . ." (Paul Witcover, Locus Magazine) "These deliciously imaginative stories are grounded in reality but have fantastic sci-fi twists that amplify the anxiety and loneliness felt by humankind.

Title: The Dead Man, Vol. 6 Subtitle: Colder than Hell, Evil to Burn, and Streets of Blood Author: Lee Goldberg, William Rabkin, Lisa Klink, Anthony Neil Smith, Barry Napier Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A shocking accident gave Matthew Cahill the ability to see a nightmarish netherworld that nobody else does...Pitting him in a fight to save us all, and his own soul, from the clutches of pure evil in these three exhilarating tales of dark humor, nonstop action, and pure horror in The Dead Man series. Matt is trapped on a traffic-choked interstate in a hellacious blizzard thats Colder Than Hellchasing an escaped psycho killer while battling a mutant virus so virulent and horrific that it even terrifies Mr. Dark A crippled Matt, badly injured in a bloody bus crash, is in a race against time across a blasted desert hell to prevent a massacre that will give Mr. Dark terrifying new powers and plenty of Evil to Burn. Matt is tormented by puzzling nightmares that draw him to a town that is covered in Streets of Blood by a dark force, one more powerful than Mr. Dark, that is driving people to commit insane acts of unimaginable violence. Members Reviews: another great book Once again this series entertained me and kept so interested I flew through the three stories. It's helpful if you have read the previous books but not necessary in order to understand the story. Each story follows the basic plot of a good man fighting evil but the writers vary it enough to keep each story unique and avoid feeling that you have read it before. Well worth the money for the three volume set or you can buy an individual story and decide for yourself. There are frequent sales for this series which is how I first got interested in it. Guilty Pleasure There is nothing about this series I should like but I can't stop reading it. Violence and mayhem within a plot that makes little sense. I suppose its a testament to the writers that I keep coming back. More Cahill please. A fun read! If you like the series you'll enjoy this. Nice addition to the series Iâll admit to a certain amount of envy of authors Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin for the entire concept of The Dead Man series of books. Like them, I grew up reading pulp series. Among my favorites were The Executioner series by Don Pendleton and the Richard Blade series by Jeffrey Lord. Goldberg and Rabkin have captured that spirit with Matt Cahill and The Dead Man books. Each volume contains three stories by three different authors. Matt, killed in an avalanche, discovered alive after months buried beneath the snow. He returns with impressive healing ability as well as an ability to spot evil in others, which appears as both visual and olfactory rotting from the inside out. With his trusty axe he must stop the evil and battle a mysterious evil clown he refers to as Mister Dark, who can exploit anger or despair in others and make it blossom into homicidal rage. Volume Six of The Dead Man features stories by Anthony Neil Smith, Lisa Klink and Barry Napier. All are very talented writers and to their credit, the character of Matt Cahill seems consistent across all three stories. In Colder Than Hell, something other than the typical work of Mr. Dark is in play as stranded motorists in a severe blizzard are possessed by a mysterious impulse that leads to bizarre, occasionally homicidal behavior that frightens even the evil Dark.

Hater Audiobook by David Moody

Title: Hater Author: David Moody Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 09-03-09 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 245 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by J. A. Bayona. Critic Reviews: "The novel moves at a deliberate, relentless pace, feeding readers just enough information to keep them perplexed and paranoid....Moody creates some truly chilling scenes, but there are also flashes of black comedy." (Kirkus Reviews) "Originally self-published, Moody's nail-biter of a debut plausibly creates a nightmare world....this intelligent, well-written chiller heralds a significant new talent." (Publishers Weekly) "It's a risky undertaking, giving literary form to a type of story that is traditionally told in pictures, but Moody completely pulls it off." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Terrifying! In the spirit of King or Koontz There aren't so many good horror books around these days--I look at the horror section and see the Southern Vampire Mysteries or Twilight. Those aren't too bad, but they are NOT scary. I want scary. Hater gave me enough scary to last for a couple of weeks. It has the classic structure of early Stephen King, where we meet the main character and The Bad Situation slowly spreads, giving the book momentum. By the end you're completely unable to stop listening. The Bad Situation, in this case, is that normal people are suddenly going plain bonkers and killing family members, coworkers, even random bystanders. These once-normal people are the Haters of the title, and from the first description you're wondering how long society will last before the breakdown. Danny McCoyne hates his life as a minor civil servant, but the Haters eventually get past even his rock-solid insulation. He comes off as a bit of a whiner for about the first quarter of the book (not helped by the slightly-whiney narrator), but later on he loses the tone and you start hoping nothing bad's going to happen to him. Like all good speculative fiction, Hater draws parallels to our own society. It points out how sharply divided we are over things that seem pretty small in the long view. It doesn't offer incisive commentary or anything, but the metaphor gives Hater a good hook. I give the book four stars because some parts could have been edited out without changing much about the story. Also, one caution--some scenes are extremely violent, and I hope the upcoming movie goes a little easy on those. But overall, at 7+ hours, Hater is a good time investment that will return a LOT of scary for your credits! Not too bad This book was entertaining enough. I like the concept and sorta cared what happend to the main character. I could relate to his bad days and frustrations. It even made me want to get away from the main characters kids, they were pretty annoying. It's not scarey but it takes a lot to scare me. Narrator was ok, someone else could have done worse, someone else could have done better. All in all, not bad but I probably won't remember it in a week or two. Too Successful for Its Own Good This book is read and written perfectly for what its intent is. However, as its intent is to set up character(s) in a world where society is consently pounding them into submission, hearing the setup is as painful to me as to the narrator as it really is successful at setting up the tension (I'll use that word for lack of better one as I don't want to spoil the plot). I did have trouble early on listening to the book because of that, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

Visionen Hörbuch von Edgar Allan Poe

Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> Titel: Visionen Autor:: Edgar Allan Poe Erzähler: Christopher Lee, L'âme Immortelle, Iris Berben Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 2 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 10-13-06 Herausgeber: Lübbe Audio Kategorien: Fiction, Horror Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Christopher Lee, L'âme Immortelle, Iris Berben, FM Einheit, Ulrich Pleitgen, Katharina Franck, Jan Josef Liefers, Alexander Veljanov ("Deine Lakaien"), Hannelore Hoger, Subway to Sally, Kai Wiesinger, Secret Discovery, Anna Thalbach, Vince Bahrdt ("Orange Blue"), Gudrun Landgrebe, Die Jungen Tenöre, Dietmar Bär, Dero ("Oomph!"), Mara und das Berliner Filmorchester. Diese Künstler stehen Pate für VISIONEN und setzen das schriftstellerische Werk von Edgar Allan Poe neu in Szene. In ausgewählten Gedichten, die sachte musikalisch inszeniert sind und in Songs, die inspiriert sind von den Worten Poes. Erstmals hat Christopher Lee ("Dracula", "Der Herr der Ringe" oder "Star Wars") eine Aufnahme in deutscher Sprache gemacht und leiht darüber hinaus seine Bass-Bariton-Stimme dem eigens für das Album produzierten modern-classic Song "Eleonore". Und dass die unzähligen Erzählungen, Geschichten und die zu unrecht viel zu wenig beachteten Gedichte des Amerikaners auch zu musikalischer Umsetzung animieren, bewies bereits 1976 Alan Parsons Project mit dem Album "Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe". Anlässlich des 30jährigen Jubiläums dieser Aufnahme gibt es als einzige Coverversion "The Raven" interpretiert von Den Jungen Tenören - alle übrigen Musiktitel sind brandneu für VISIONEN komponiert worden. Die Vielfalt der Musiker und Schauspieler spiegelt auch das umfassende Schaffen Edgar Allan Poes wider: Mal sehnsüchtig melancholisch, dann schaurig beklemmend oder grotesk gigantisch. Edgar Allan Poe war schon immer viel mehr als ein Schauer-Poet, VISIONEN gibt einen Einblick in das geniale, wenn auch verstörte Seelenleben des Schriftstellers.

The sound editing is terrible and it is nearly impossible to hear the story over the cheesy sound effects. The voice acting is also incredibly overdone. NOT RECOMMENDED! Good stories ruined by poor mixing I was really excited about this one at first, then things just dropped off and never picked up again. The stories were actually fine, there are some great authors in that list. The opening story had a lot of promise. It used the whole sound effects and voice actors gimmick really well. It seemed as if the opening story had been written for that exact purpose. Then things become a little repetitive and the mixing goes a bit weird. Voices are coming from all sorts of places and there are too many sound effects drowning out the dialogue. There are also quite a few places where you need to fast forward. Of the 6hrs or so of story telling there is at least 90mins of looped music and credits. Maybe even more. I got really sick of hearing the name K. Anderson Yancy over and over and over again during this audio book. It appears to have been a very self indulgent creation for this performer and writer. When the stories have a particular theme e.g. Mummies, there is some really poorly selected music that is looped and played far to loudly and frequently. This eventually became distracting then quite frustrating. I was really looking forward to listening to some H.P. Lovecraft and the production here destroyed the story. I'd recommend this to someone who actually doesn't want to focus on the stories and just wants to hear some gimmicky sounds and lots of voices butchering some great stories. Otherwise save your money/credit and treat your ears to something else. I toughed this out in the hope that it would get better. I'll tell you now that it doesn't. if your a huge K. Anderson Yancy fan get it. Absolutely awful! The effects are really bad and the narrator/voices are even worse!! Audible...release this from your library & send it FAR FAR AWAY..PLEASE!! AVOID!!! Please don't make the same mistake as me and buy this. It is utter drivel 'performed' and written by the biggest bunch of amateurs I have ever had the misfortune to hear. Why on earth this is for sale is beyond me. It really is bad and I wish someone had written a review to warn me before I wasted my money.

Cava Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Here you have found a book so foul, so repulsive, so horrifying...that you will undoubtedly find yourself running to the nearest bathroom in an effort to both relieve your bowels and scrub your hands clean of their putrid filth. Though these attempts will be in vain - just as the authors of this demented book of short stories have planned. I speak of none other than the intolerable Mr. Vincent V. Cava and his dimwitted pen pal, S. R. Tooms (the pair oftentimes billed simply as hideous and handsome). They have finally released this humorous collection of terrifying tales, despite the bitter public outcry that demanded these pages never see the light of day...and perhaps for good reason. Inside this tome you will hear such stories as the much talked about "Gas Station Bathroom", which has been known to cause many travelers to rethink their next rest stop pullover. The psychological masterpiece in "The Horror of Knowing" will never allow you to gaze upon your friends in the same light again. "A Favor for a Favor" depicts an unparalleled moralistic look at the true nature of mankind - complete with an exquisitely satisfying finish that will have you shaking your head with sinister disbelief. These are but a few of the many finely crafted tales lurking within this haunted collection. To those of you with a few screws loose in the noggin or those with a twisted smile (and crooked tooth or two), I bid you enter this haven of horror.... Members Reviews: amazing Love, love, love everything about this audio book!! Mr. Creepy Pasta U Rock!!!! He truly make stories come alive. Very Entertaining Stories & Narrator Quite a fun story & well read! I finished it in 1 setting, and I didn't plan to! Give it a listen if you like Creepypastas. First of all, I would like to point out the great performance of Mr. Creepypasta. If you're familiar with his work, then you know what you'll be getting out of this book; if you don't know who he is, then I can highly recommend giving HIM a try. As for the stories themselves, both authors bring a novel idea to the table: mix horror and comedy. It takes a very standard approach in alternating scary and comical stories, working as an effective method of relief at times, having just gone through a creepy little tale. These shorts are very entertaining, to say the least, and they have the potential to leave you feeling uneasy. Definitely worth a shot. Epic Loved it to dead Wish more narrators would use this much love in there story telling FANTASTIC Great book with dark humour, made me chuckle, highly recomend this if your taste is a little darker

Paranormal romance at its best by international best seller Tara Brown. The moment her lips utter the soft wish into the cold darkness, Ophelia is forced down a road she cannot survive. Her wishes become reality, her pains becomes others' suffering, and her nightmares take on shape. Something lingers in the dark, stalking her, hunting her from the shadows. But the gift of a snow globe changes everything. She discovers she is the last branch in a magical bloodline many have been searching for. For Aimee and Ari, Ophelia couldn't come at a worse moment. Just as they find her, the girl they seek, Giselle is made royalty of something dark and seedy. It proves to be a task more daunting than anything they can imagine her undertaking. The haunted house at the end of the tree-lined street fills as the Roses ready to fight their last battle. Members Reviews: Amazin In the fourth book of the Devil's Roses series you are introduced to 17 year old Ophelia. After letting her younger sister Abby talk her into going to a party Ophelia starts to have weird things happen to her. The first of which happens at the party when the kids are playing with a Ouija board. As well all know people can be cruel. The girls from the party are no exception. Ophelia here "the plastics" talking about her. She hears the way they are making fun of her. The only problem is they aren't speaking out loud. In a state of rage over what is being said and confusion from not knowing what is going on Ophelia makes something happen that everybody suspects was her, but they cannot prove it at all. Throughout the story you learn of who she is and what she is capible of. She has an emensly important role in the world and needs to be protected at all costs. She finds refuge with the Roses as they prepare for the war that is to come. This story like the others will completely draw you in. A definite must read and a great follow up to Hyde. Another five star story! Tara Brown is sooooo good! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series up to this point! Can't wait the the next book. She has kept the original character and kept them true while at the same time added so many others you would think it would get confusing but she does a great job of keeping everything lined out and straight. One thing Brown does well is character development. This book had me fighting mad, laughing, and suffering right along with the characters! Any book that can draw out emotion like these do is phenomenal. The romances/relationships in this book/series are just...love, breaking up, death, bonding, unbonding, steamy...they keep the emotions roiling! Definitely recommended. The books need to be read in order--Cursed-Bane-Hyde-Witch. Tara Brown if you are reading this you seriously need to get an editor. The grammatical and spelling errors seriously take away from your books. I would be happy to proofread for you! I gave this book 5 stars because it deserved it but in all honesty with the lack of editing it should be knocked down to 3 or 4 stars. The end has come. Ophelia is a typical teenager, until right before her 18th birthday. She then learns of another world within the world and her place in that world. Strange things begin happening around her, things she has wished for.

Title: Nocturnes Author: John Connolly Narrator: Jeff Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-15 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: In his first collection of short fiction, New York Times best-selling author John Connolly offers a selection of dark, daring, and utterly haunting tales. Here are lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts. In "The New Daughter", a father comes to suspect that a burial mound on his land hides something very ancient and very much alive; in "The Underbury Witches", a pair of London detectives find themselves battling a particularly female evil in a town culled of its menfolk. And finally, private detective Charlie Parker returns in the long novella The Reflecting Eye, in which the photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mailbox of an abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer. This discovery forces Parker to confront the possibility that the house is not as empty as it appears and that something has been waiting in the darkness for its chance to kill again. In these stories, Connolly ratchets up the tension to almost unbearable - and irresistible - levels. Nocturnes is a deliciously chilling collection from "one of the best thriller writers we have" (Harlan Coben). Members Reviews: Great story- but some suggestions Loved this collection. As with other audible collected works though, it would be nice if the chapters often book indicated what story they are related to. If you only listen once, great, you'll never notice. But why then would you buy the book? This version is also missing the last four stories found in the print volume. Scary stories! Nice work Mr. Connolly! unexpected classic horror with a Charlie parker novella transitioning between novels 4 and 5. Will read again. short scary stories I've always loved scary stories told around a campfire, this is a collection of a bunch of crappy scary stores that will give you some nightmares. Jeff Harding does a fantastic job. very interesting I really enjoyed it. really enjoyed it will Def buy more.. it held my attention . very happy I bought it Bland Each story is almost formulaic--a woman dies and the man is left to live his life. The deaths are really only fodder for the remaining protagonists' motivations. The first story is perhaps the most compelling, but otherwise the tales do not bring much to the genre of "horror" or neo-gothic, as it were.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Enter the new dimension of intensity! Book one of the post-apocalyptic horror that (very easily) could become real. In the first audiobook of the trilogy, I Devour, Therefore I Am, an ancient order must perform a sacred ritual at Stonehenge; the remnants of an ancient prison known to the order as "The Circle of Captivity." Arlana Tristus spent her entire life defying her own destiny, but now she can run no longer. The ritual at Stonehenge has failed, the prison bars have been shattered, and what lies within is unleashed upon the Earth. It spreads like an epidemic, faster than anyone could have imagined. It infects in seconds, silencing the heart and taking control. It feeds on the memories of its hosts, learning about humanity more and more with each person it devours. Meanwhile, a depressed father drinks away his sorrows in his homeland of Ireland. He is trapped a world away from his son and estranged wife, when the quarantines go into effect. He will witness firsthand the power of Earth's newest denizen. Two people, one destiny: to stand against an evil that has waited millions of years to be free. Fail, and it will mean the end of everything you know. Members Reviews: Poor narration.. The lackluster narrator was really hard to get beyond. Her monotone voice made it difficult to distinguish between characters, action, story progression..

Members Reviews: not as good as others Another weird Nightingale short story, not as good as others. It felt as if it was not completed & the author has had a basis for a tale but didn't know how to finish. Very strange. Five Stars Another good read by my favourite author Stephen Leather. Five Stars great, Too bad it's so short. We need more novels. Three Stars Not his best work. Rather rushed. But the story was good enough to forgive the disjointed writing. Rushed Rushed but then that's the curse of the short story. His novels are much better pieces of work.

This is the British Army of the future. Soldiers brought back from the dead to fight as robots. The zombie army can learn. They can kill. The only thing they can't do is die. Even if they want to.... Members Reviews: Good Short Story, Where Soldiers Never Die, No Matter How Much They Want to Dead Brigade is a short 126 page length (for the large print edition) story published as a standalone book. It's around the same length as the Quick Reads series books if you're familiar with those. A brilliant little story it is too. Basic tale begins with a depressed and suicidal Sergeant Dex Hammond, and his career that in recent years was going nowhere. You see Hammond was a passionate solider, who outlined his fears of an imminent attack to an incompetent lazy captain if they took a shortcut down a hill rather than walk a couple of hundred metres around a probable ambush site. Of course Hammond was right and his patrol was massacred, with himself and the incompetent sergeant the only survivors. A depressed and disillusioned Hammond has been spending the years since ordering supplies and handling invoices for a UK base's kitchen. Until one day that incompetent sergeant, now a Major visits him with a new assignment, which is posted at a top secret military scientific research base. Hammond has no idea what possible role he can play at the facility, even more so when he's shown a room full of dead bodies, he touches one and to his terror it grabs his arm. This is a really good story, you sort of think you know where it's going at times but it never does. This is not your typical mindless zombies eating flesh or brains of humans type story. As Hammond says "Zombie's have no mind of their own. My lot have.."

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Volume 1 features two episodes from the first season, including "Man on the Ledge" by Joe Maggio and "The Hole Digger" by Larry Fessenden. The series was produced by filmmakers Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely. In "Man on the Ledge", written and directed by Joe Maggio, a man reflects on his life - and imminent death - while perched on a ledge overlooking Manhattan. Through a series of surprising reveals, what begins as a touching soliloquy on human frailty slowly devolves into a psychotic screed as our ledge-dwellers misdeeds are slowly brought to light. Starring Vincent DOnofrio as the man on the ledge, with Larry Fessenden as Bill Coley, the officer charged with talking him down. Featuring John Speredakos, Nick Damici, and Greg Amici. "The Hole Digger", written and directed by Larry Fessenden, concerns "the summer that everything changed, that summer in Cape Cod when me and my brother first found the hole dug down in the dunes in front of our house. Whether it was for a grave or a treasure, that hole changed our lives for good." Larry Fessendens haunting tale stars James Le Gros and Owen and Tobias Campbell, and features Kevin Corrigan, Heather Robb, and Joel Garland. Critic Reviews: "ONE OF THE YEARs TOP 10. The team at Glass Eye Pix and the filmmakers theyve assembled are very much crafting great little spookfests that remind us why we love horror storytelling in general. (Fangoria) "Fans of shows from A Prairie Home Companion to This American Life [who] take their stylistic cues from radios glory days should enjoy these macabre R-rated tales." (The New York Times) Members Reviews: Reaction to an unendurable:
no risk's over the top There are losses whose solutions we evolve in the darkness of the of the unconcous heart. When one's need will not be denied, honesttt ignorance begets the unintended. A story well conceived, and written, one told at just the right pase to pull a ADS FOR OTHER TITLES INTERRUPTING YOUR STORY????? What would have made Tales from Beyond the Pale, Season One, Volume 1 better? the stories are not that bad, however, right in the center of the action, comes a trailer for other titles you can purchase in the series?? really? how cheesy!! i would have probably bought all the titles if it hadn't been for this! very distracting!!!!! What was most disappointing about Joe Maggio and Larry Fessenden s story? the trailers for other titles to purchase!!!!!! Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators? the narrators were fine You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? the stories were good, narrators were fine, can't get past ads for other titles in the middle of a story Any additional comments? re-release without ads!!!!!

Now, a new batch of stories have come alive. Come to a place where mice gain the ability to speak, where super humans work middle-class jobs, where a mythical man grants chances to feeble victims, and where science has created murder rooms or genetically mutated monsters. Discover worm holes, the supernatural, and a bit of lunacy. Encounter the unexpected. Contents include: Members Reviews: Always worth a second look So many good short stories all rolled up in one. The only thing I feel the book needed was for the narrator to say the chapter # at the beginning of each story. There were a few that I didnt realize had ended. I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator. Maybe it is worth a second look.... .... as for me I probably didn't get it the first time around I suppose. A few stories were entertaining and creative, but I am not too enthusiastic about the majority. Most of the time I found it difficult to know what is going on - and I don't mean language-wise. Some of the stories I found quite surreal and sometimes it was hard to know the end of one story from the beginning of the next. The voice of the narrator sounded the same most of the time / was kind of monotonous to me. So maybe that is why. Or maybe the book is just not down my alley at all. I did not like the book too much - but maybe you do. Feel free to give it a try and prove me wrong. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. Never a dull story... I enjoyed this book immensely! Every story was different! I can't wait to read more! This is the first of Roberto Scarlato's books for me, but I plan on reading many more! The narrator, Mark Sando, did a fantastic job bringing each and every story to life! I can't choose a favorite one! They were well written and I lost myself in each story!

She reveals the never-before-disclosed name of his father and warns him of grave danger. Driven by a desperate sense of need, Ned explores his dark past and the astonishing legacy of his kin. Accused of violent crimes he has not committed and pursued by a shadowy twin, Ned enters a hidden world of ominous mysteries, where he must confront his deepest nightmares.... Members Reviews: Mystery eech! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A better paced story... this seems to crawl and ramble nowhere in particular. What was most disappointing about Peter Straubs story? That Peter Strab wrote it. I always seem to have a problem with his writing. But a friend told me this was about a character who had dealings with H. P. Lovecraft like beings...and I LOVE H. P. Lovecraft. Thought I'd give Peter one more try. But, I'm still fighting my way through Peter's weird writing style to figure out just what the heck is gong on. Would you be willing to try another one of Luke Danielss performances? The reader was very good. Very dramatic. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I do so very much LOVE all the "Eldar Gods" mythos stuff. I dig all the under dog becomes the razor clawed leather winged destroyer of the human race. Any additional comments? Perhaps I will give it another try...

sickEST B*stards Audiobook by Matt Shaw

To understand this short story and wrap up the events of Sick B*stards, you need to listen to the previous two titles. sickEST B*stards continues on from both Sick B*stards and SickER B*stards, bringing the story to a shocking conclusion. Members Reviews: the whole story is told from his mothers POV This is a review of the third book in a series, please read them first before reading this as there will be spoilers here to what happens in those. No I dont know about you. But I thought that sickER Bastards did a pretty good job of wrapping this highly disturbing series up. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out about this third and thankfully shortest addition. sickEST Bastards picks up right where sickER leaves off. Brother is now at his original home with his real parents. Now he finds himself in a situation I dont think he ever dreamed of. Having killed is real father, he is now the man of the house and decides to become the partner to his real mother. Yes. In all ways. Especially in the perverted ways. What I liked most about sickEST is that the whole story is told from his mothers perspective. Letting us in an all of the thoughts and horrors going on within her mind. Wrestling with what has just happened in her life. Finding that all her son seems to care about is eating flesh and extreme insetual assult for his own pleasure. Being only 51 mins long it is hard to say more than this without giving everything away. I find myself wondering who is really the sickEST person here. Matt Shaw for imagining and writing all of this down, Chris Barnes for speaking it out loud or myself for willingly allowing myself to be subjected to the most horrific and perverted stories in existence. You be the judge. I will say that sickEST is an iron clad finale to this series of total wrongness, or maybe it simply starts the entire circle of perversion all over again. I have sang many praises over pretty much every performance by Chris Barnes. His performance here is no different. I knew to expect a phenomenal listening adventure with him and the helm. I will always expect this until I am disappointed and I do not ever see that happening. Just because I have agreed to review books that might question my character. I in NO way condone or approve of any questionable sexual experiences. Audiobook provided for review by the narrator. Please find this complete review and many others at audiobookreviewer dot com [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] one sick m.f. and so it ends as it begins, gore extreme horror, just fantastic. wraps the series up nicely Awesome but left wanting more I loved this to the end, however I was left feeling like there is so much more that I wanted to know about those behind the experiment.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Out of the shadows and meaner than ever, volume three of this award-winning horror series packs international star power. Featuring 10 brand-new stories by the legendary Guy N. Smith, the prolific Adam Millard, master of horror Nicholas Paschall, plus Nathan Robinson and others, this collection is certain to keep you up at night. Take care as you reach into these dark places, for the things here bite, and you may withdraw a hand short of a few fingers. Full list of authors includes Richard Ayre, S. J. Deighan, Duncan Bradshaw, and Nathan Robinson. Members Reviews: Outstanding horror, with Guy N. Smith! This is a great book. Ten stories, ten authors, all great horror. I've been following this series from the beginning, and must say that it doesn't disappoint. With each new volume, the horror gets more intense, and the themes push new boundaries. And the lead-off story written by the legendary Guy N. Smith was a great start! Get it - you won't regret it. Note: I received a paperback advance reading copy prior to the book's release for the purposes of writing a review. Impressive horror lineup, fantastic stories I absolutely LOVED this book! I think my favorite story was the one by David Hughes, about the painter who gets revenge on everybody who abused him. If you like horror that isn't afraid to push the envelope, get this book! Excellent Anthology Shadows and Teeth Volume 3 is the latest in a horror anthology series published by Darkwater Syndicate. There are some familiar authors included whose books I have covered before, including Guy N. Smith, Adam Millard and Richard Ayre. The ten stories in the collection bring us a variety of scares without an overarching theme throughout the book. The first story, Cannibal House by Guy N. Smith, starts the collection off strong. Itâs a tale of residual evil that remains locked within a house and the new tenant who has to try to deal with it. Tree Huggers was another story I enjoyed. It had an unusual scenario and situation that our teens found themselves in. Itâs always nice to read a really fresh take. Adam Millardâs story, The House Wants What The House Wants, brought a bizarro and completely unexpected plot that was as creepy as it was excellent. One of the stand out stories of the collection was Bernadette. Itâs a tale in the form of a letter. Itâs set during the time of the Spanish Inquisition and involves possession and a djinn. It was outstanding. Another stand out is Richard Ayreâs story about a man returning to claim his family estate in Scotland. The mystery and bloodshed that comes along with the land builds to a gripping climax. Another favorite was Cruciform, which is the tale of a summoned and trapped demon. As you can imagine, that does not happen without consequences and retribution. As Iâm sure you can tell based on the number of favorites I have, this is a great collection. This is one of the strongest anthologies Iâve covered, full of tight and diverse entries, and with no drop in the quality from one story to the next. The stories cover a range of horror. There is something for all tastes from the more subtle, supernaturally inclined, to cannibalism and monsters.

Her biggest concern is the rowdy summertime revelers making their way up from Massachusetts and New York. With most of the town's residents in neighboring Ashland, for the Fourth of July fireworks show, Refuge is quiet. That is, until the Baptist Church's bell starts ringing - on its own. The bell chimes faster and faster, reaching a frenetic pace, as though rung by the Devil himself. But the bell is just the beginning. The air shimmers. The night-time sky fills with a burning red aurora. The moon, previously a crescent, is now full. And just hours after dusk, the sun returns to the sky, revealing an endless desert where there was once a mountainous pine forest. Rule must guide the confused and frightened residents of Refuge through the first terrifying hours of acclimating to this horrifying new environment, while protecting them from inhuman dangers both inside and outside of the town's newly clean-cut borders. In a world gone haywire, only one thing is certain, no one in Refuge will ever forget the night of the blood sky. Refuge is a serialized novel, co-authored by #1 Amazon.com horror author, Jeremy Bishop, and five other authors, including Amazon.com best sellers Kane Gilmour and David McAfee, USA Today best seller, Robert Swartwood, and newcomer Daniel Boucher. Members Reviews: Night of Blood Sky,bk 1 Any additional comments? This is a monster story of the old fashioned kind.LOVED it! Jeffrey Kafer does a wonderful job narrating this book! A small town,a sheriff,fireworks and an unexplained phenomenon..who can ask for more! "I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com." Must know next installment! Would you consider the audio edition of Night of the Blood Sky to be better than the print version? The audio version HAS to be better, because it is full of the storytelling vocal paintings of Jeffrey Kafer. Looking at the printed word cannot compare to the imagery created by this narrator. Who was your favorite character and why? Sheriff Rule was my favorite character. She was a no-nonsense, kick-ass law enforcement officer, with courage and dedication to her community. Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafers other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first listen of Mr. Kafer's work. It will certainly not be my last! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The suspense regarding the question of what was actually going on in the town kept me glued to my computer. Any additional comments? Mr. Kafer is a masterful storyteller! I cannot wait to download the next installment in this epic. Full disclosure: I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and forthright review. An interesting setup for this mystery Would you listen to Night of the Blood Sky again? Why? Yeah, I would listen to it again. It was interesting enough to hold my attention, but short enough that going through it again wouldn't take up too much time and I could really hone in on the details.

Braunbeck, Joe McKinney, Harry Shannon Narrator: Gregory Zarcone Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-16 Publisher: Journalstone Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: "The world is a stage, life is a play, and we are the puppets. It's better not to ask who pulls the strings." How lucky do you feel? That question echoed through the world's underground, scrawled on bathroom walls, spray-painted across subway tunnel exits, written on paper that fluttered through bleak side-streets in the winter wind, printed on cheap business cards tacked to corkboard displays in darkened hallways. But always beneath one name - Limbus. Matthew Sellers revealed the truth of Limbus, Inc. to the world, and in his tales of time travelers, intergalactic beings, and human sacrifice, he thought he had told it all. But the story of the shadowy employment agency that operates on the edge of the abyss, always finding the perfect person for the perfect job - no matter what the cost - had only begun. This shared-world anthology continues the story of Limbus, Inc., as told by five masters of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. But beware, for once you learn the truth of Limbus, Inc., your world will never be the same. So it's time to ask yourself.... How lucky do you feel? Members Reviews: Great! But... The story and the series itself are fantastic. Engaging, mysterious and fun. Not quite horror, but rides the line between horror and thriller. Only complaint is the narrator. The way he pronounces certain words (like clandestine) is seriously irritating. Otherwise, its a good listen for fans of the genre.

Konrath Narrator: Patrick Lawlor, Angela Dawe Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 160 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? When Blake Crouch (DESERT PLACES, ABANDON) and Jack Kilborn (AFRAID, CHERRY BOMB), face-off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psychopath win. F. Paul Wilson says, "SERIAL reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes." Along with the reinsertion of additional material cut from the original version, SERIAL UNCUT also has a vastly expanded beginning and ending, including an extended section that originally appeared in the novella TRUCK STOP by J.A. Konrath. If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk. But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead. The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read SERIAL UNCUT. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a result of reading SERIAL UNCUT. They will not cradle you in their arms, rock you back and forth, and speak in soothing tones while you unsuccessfully try to forget SERIAL UNCUT. You have been warned... Members Reviews: EMOTIONS MONTAGE YOU BROUGHT YOUR TOOLBOX, RIGHT? This is Throw up Scary. Another reviewer hits it on the head with Splatterporn. Each chapter is like s separate story and they kind of come together in the end. The first two chapters provide unique twists. The first six chapters were excellent. Then the story ran out of places to go and basically repeated itself. The gore becames less of the story and more gore for gore's sake. REGGIE BAR I thought the beginning of this was clever and witty and a little funny. Toward the end the gratuitous violence and gore just got old. It became like two guys trying to gross each other out with more and more sick stuff. I like sick stuff if part of the story, but sick for sick's sake is boring. I did how ever like the last chapter and the epilogue. Skip to the last chapter if you get bored. Fans of Matt Shaw and Jack Ketchum will enjoy this. Patrick Lawlor This guy does the majority of the narration. He has been around for a while and he is very good. He does J.A. Konrath's stuff perfect. Scary, gory with a hint of humor. Sadistic, Graphic, Twisted Fun - They Nailed It! If you enjoy gory, sadistic, bloody murder stories that are actually clever and written above the high school level, you've hit the jackpot.

Title: Deathgrip Author: Brian Hodge Narrator: Dave Cruse Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-17 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: His touch can heal or harm. His fate is solitary. His agony belongs to us all He was born on a day of pain: November 22, 1963. He came of age in agony: that moment of tragedy when fun-loving rock-and-roll deejay Paul Handler discovered the inexplicable power in his own hands. It is the power to make the wounded whole again. The power to make the lame walk and to heal the sick. It is a power that will sap his soul and plunge him into the world of a famous faith healer. It is a power that can turn to rage, even murder. It is a gift that makes Paul Handler a living, breathing human sacrifice. For thousands of years, a secret cabal has guarded the lineage to which Paul is heir scapegoats who have been forced to bear humanity's anguish upon themselves. Now, while the cabal searches for him, and one man seeks to destroy him, Paul makes a lonely, frightening journey to the core of his identity and to his destiny to all the pain his soul can bear, to all the redemption he can give, to the freedom that is death. Review Quotes A wonderfully complex book which works on many levels; not only is it an entertaining read, it also makes insightful observations about everything from love and self-sacrifice to the living habits of your average bachelor deejay. Cemetery Dance "Enjoyable storytelling with a heart." After Hours "A long, thoughtful examination of the corruption of power and the perversion of innocence, enlivened by first-rate characterization." Science Fiction Chronicle "I can honestly say, without any reservation, that Deathgrip is the best novel I've read this year full fruition of the promise shown in his earlier novels." 2 A.M. Members Reviews: Wow I read this after a recommendation from Barb Hendee. It was surprising and flowed very well. It established sympathy for even the other side. I liked the main character, I liked the past episodes, although some are confusing until you read further on and see how it all connects. It was a quiet struggle between good and evil, while stating that the lines being blurred is perhaps what leads to good becoming evil. That we need to shore up our personal morals against erosion. I liked the tabloid journalist a lot. His story line was one of the most delightful surprises in the book. I hope you take a chance on this amazing, original and thought provoking tale. brian hodge is a master i have yet to be disappointed by anything i have read by Mr.Hodge,i have read several of his books and loved everyone. this book is a very interesting read! Why am I the only person to ever review this gem? Great story about a guy with the power to heal....or hurt. Hodge is a great writer and this is one of my favorites of his. Very hip, very cool, very good.

Survivors Series 01 Audiobook by Matt Fitton, Andrew Smith, John Dorney, Jonathan Morris

Title: Survivors Series 01 Author: Matt Fitton, Andrew Smith, John Dorney, Jonathan Morris Narrator: Lucy Fleming, Ian McCulloch, Louise Jameson, Terry Molloy, John Banks, Carolyn Seymour Format: Original Recording Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-16 Publisher: Big Finish Productions Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: It begins with just a few people falling ill. Another flu virus that spreads around the globe. And then the reports begin that people are dying.... When most of the world's population is wiped out, a handful of survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Cities become graveyards. Technology becomes largely obsolete. Mankind must start again.... 1.1: 'Revelation' by Matt Fitton. When people begin to die of a new strain of a flu virus, newspaper journalists Helen Wiseman and Daniel Connor investigate. They uncover a terrifying story - but will anyone ever get to read it? 1.2: 'Exodus' by Jonathan Morris. Billions of people have died across the globe. Cities are rife with secondary diseases, and the survivors attempt to make their way out of London. 1.3: 'Judges' by Andrew Smith. After a storm wipes out much of their community's supplies, Greg and Jenny go in search of new provisions - much to Abby's disapproval. 1.4: 'Esther' by John Dorney. Greg, Jenny and their new friends are trapped. Will they ever make it out alive? Note: Survivors contains adult material and is not suitable for younger listeners. Members Reviews: Wonderfully entertaining.... I have become a huge fan of full cast audio productions. So much that now when I look for my next listen, I try to find one with at least multiple narrators if not a full cast. The Survivors series was a great addition to my widening library. Although some of the situations were a bit far fetched, just listening to the production itself made it worthwhile. The voice acting was above par and the added music and sound effects brought it even more to life. I will definitely be continuing the series. A eye opener! Would you listen to Survivors Series 01 again? Why? As a kid I watched the 1st Series of Survivors on 70's TV. I only caught up with series 2/3 on DVD in 2016. But now I wish I never bothered. It's actually Big Finish who belatedly carry on Terry Nation's vision. I have series 1 to 5 on CD. But I re-bought Series 1 & 2 of these Big Finish audio's to put on my Kindle. Good writing and production deserve to be rewarded to continue. That's how good, telling and impact memorable this series is to listen too again! Who was your favorite character and why? The montage of characters are all great. All having a history to impact into later recordings. Stick with it. Which scene did you most enjoy? You can't pick one scene when there's a great arc depicting all the Horrors and Honourable Highs of Human Nature. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Morals and Ethics should always Survive! Any additional comments? Terry Nation would have been Proud. Had this remained the tone of the TV series, he would never have left! Jenny, Abby and Greg return As a huge fan of the 70's TV series I was pleased to find this new audiobook series. It's great to hear from Jenny, Abby and Greg. A believable story that ties nicely into the original. As mentioned in at least one review I did have issues hearing certain parts of the audio whilst driving and had to turn the volume up. Overall I'm more than happy with the story and performance excellent. I remember well the original TV version.

The Chosen Seed Audiobook by Sarah Pinborough

Title: The Chosen Seed Subtitle: The Dog-Faced Gods, Book 3 Author: Sarah Pinborough Narrator: Tristan Gemmill Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 05-31-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 47 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: His nephew has been kidnapped and, as he works desperately to save Luke, Detective Inspector Cass Jones has been framed for murder. He's on the run, being hunted by former colleagues, and is unwelcome wherever he goes... until he gets help from a very unexpected figure from his past. Detectives Hask and Ramsey are on a different case - searching for the killer behind the lethal Strain II virus currently sweeping its way through London... a search which throws up an unexpected clue that suggests Cass might be innocent of murder after all. But when they're ordered not to investigate further, they realise the mystery behind the murder is far greater than they thought. Somehow it's linked to Mr Bright, and to the Network which manipulates everyone from the shadows. A rift is growing between these rival factions as Strain II takes a firmer hold on the city, and as the Interventionists warn of a final battle which will bring them all together - or, once and for all, tear everything apart. Cass Jones is going up against The Bank and its sinister employees one last time. He needs every ally he can get, and this time he means to find answers - even if he has to uncover the true history of humanity to do it. And the more he learns, the more everything hinges on finding Luke... Set in a future that's close enough to touch, Sarah Pinborough's series combines the streetwise grime of a George Pelecanos mystery with the near-future dystopian setting of Richard Morgan. Members Reviews: The series you love to hate This is the third book in a series. I wanted to like this book but then again I wanted to like each book. I kept reading the next book hoping it would make the ones before it make sense. They really didn't. A satisfying climax It's tricky to review the chosen seed as a stand alone novel because unlike it's predecessors, it really requires that you have read both "A Matter of Blood" and "The Shadow of the Soul"; without them it will make little sense and, critically, You will have great difficulty sympathizing with the hero. Spoilers make the rest tricky, you've probably figured out who Mr. Bright and his cohorts are by this point, but if you haven't I don't want to be the one to tell you! Suffice to say, I was wondering how she could possible rap the trilogy up in any sort of satisfying way and I'm pleased to report that she does. Taken as a single book, which it really is, "The Dog Faced Gods" trilogy is easily the best thing I read last year.

The Haunted South Audiobook by Nancy Roberts

Title: The Haunted South Subtitle: Where Ghosts Still Roam Author: Nancy Roberts Narrator: Kevin Stillwell Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 07-27-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: This collection features such stories as "Passenger Train Number 9"; "The Little People"; "The Phantom Rider of the Confederacy"; "The Demon of Wizard Clip"; "Room for One More"; "Tavern of Terror"; "The Surrency Ghost"; "The King's Messengers"; "The Haunted Gold Mine"; "The Singing River"; "The Gray Lady"; "Railroad Bill"; and "The Haunted Car". Critic Reviews: "Kevin Stillwell's old-fashioned delivery is ideal for Nancy Roberts's ghost stories, which range from charming to frightening. 'Room for One More' is set in the 1950s, when New Yorker Elise Barnhardt visits the South. Stillwell's dazzling description of Spanish moss and a sprawling mansion provide verisimilitude. Things become scary one night when Barnhardt looks out her window to see a stagecoach and a footman who calls out, 'Room for one more....' At the storys climax, Stillwell's delivery furthers the creepy mood. Most sad is 'The Haunted Gold Mine,' in which Skinflint McIntosh owns a mine, which he claims is safe. The story of the miners' uprising and the death of spirited Joe Magee is heartrending. At the end, his ghost proclaims, 'I'll haunt McIntosh forever.'" (AudioFile magazine) Members Reviews: Four Stars Good October read! Fun to read stories about place you know I use to check this book out of the local library, a lot when I was younger, fun to read Ghost and goblins beware! I love a ghost story enough said! There was so much evil done in slavery that it will leave us. There are some good haunted stories here that I have never read before. eloquent stories of Ghosts in Georgia! Nancy Robert has done it again!Her books always keep you in suspense and glued to the pages.I prefer georgia ghosts,also written by her.But this was a very good book by an exceptional author.I just wish the book was longer...It is worth reading..I suggest her other book first Georgia ghosts,but I WILL read anything written by her,I have even visited several of the places mentioned out of the curiosity from the tales told!Its that compelling.......

Skitter Audiobook by Ezekiel Boone

Title: Skitter Subtitle: A Novel Author: Ezekiel Boone Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 92 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: First there was the black swarm that swallowed a man whole, the suspicious seismic irregularities in India that confounded scientists, the nuclear bomb China dropped on its own territory without any explanation. Then, scientist Melanie Guyer's lab received a package containing a mysterious egg sac; little did Dr. Guyer know that almost overnight, Earth would be consumed by previously dormant spiders that suddenly wanted out. Now tens of millions of people around the world are dead. Half of China is a nuclear wasteland. Mysterious flesh-eating spiders are marching through Los Angeles, Oslo, Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, and countless other cities. According to Dr. Guyer, the crisis may soon be over. But in Japan, a giant, glowing egg sac gives a shocking preview of what is to come, even as survivors in Los Angeles panic and break the quarantine zone. Out in the desert, survivalists Gordo and Shotgun are trying to invent a weapon to fight back, but it may be too late, because President Stephanie Pilgrim has been forced to enact the plan of last resort. America, you are on your own. Critic Reviews: "A globe-hopping, seriously creepy read." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: B movie creepiness and action at its best Any additional comments? Hugely entertaining, suitably creepy, plenty of action. Middle act of this trilogy where ancient spiders have reawakened and humans are rapidly waking up to the reality of no longer being top of the food chain. Boone returns to the ranging narrative, jumping from California to DC, Peru to India, Scotland to Japan. From marines to a con-man preacher, mystery author to a survivalist, arachnologist to Presidential chief of staff, television producer to FBI agent. Stories of the military trying to burn out egg sacks, scientists attempting to figure out the mechanics of the infestation, civilians trying to flee, individuals noticing patterns, and everyday people struggling to survive in ingenious ways. The action may lull as the first wave of spiders have died, but the tension constantly ratchets up. And when the next wave is imminent, those in the know have a growing sense of dread. The United States is fractured, the world is on a precipice, and something has woken up. Recommended, but maybe not if you live in a place replete with spiders. Not even close to the first book, dull I hate leaving books unfinished but that's the only reason I finished. It was dull, too many characters and none of them particularly likable. It was OKAY... The first book had me sorta riveted. Though the take on spiders wasn't completely original, the story was suspenseful and the character subplots were decently written and made sense. Mostly. Then there's this book. Way way more viewpoints. It was a bit scattered but was overall okay. Until chapter 30/31(?). Anyway the one with the guy who says chicken biscuits. You'll know. I mean wtf! That almost, and maybe it did, ruin the book for me. I won't spoil the scene. I guess Boone needed a way to introduce the spiders to that city but it shouldn't have been with this scene or character. Completely illogical and unrealistic human reaction to a bloody dire situation. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Unless! Unless Boone was writing an example of the dumbest person on planet Earth then he sold me. Besides that it was okay I guess.

Z-Burbia 5 Audiobook by Jake Bible

Title: Z-Burbia 5 Subtitle: The Bleeding Heartland, Volume 5 Author: Jake Bible Narrator: Andrew B. Wehrlen Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-15 Publisher: Jake Bible Fiction Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 124 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The American Midwest - a bucolic ideal that hasn't quite translated to the zombie apocalypse. Instead of open arms and welcoming faces, there are now open mouths and ravenous Zs. The blue collar drive to work hard is now a red-mouthed hunger for flesh. Jace Stanford, as well as the remnants of the survivors of Whispering Pines, and the rag tag bunch of private military contractors, laborers, and former (everyone hopes) cannibals now must face the vast, exposed space of America's Heartland in order to get to the possible sanctuary of The Stronghold in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Boulder, Colorado. Just a simple convoy from point A to point B, right? Yeah, right. Not for these folks. Z-Burbia 5: The Bleeding Heartlands is full of blood, guts, puss, and snark as Jace and company are forced to deal with yet another whacko group of crazy survivors, zombie hordes on a scale they have never seen, and the mystery of who keeps skinning folks and leaving the butchered bodies as some type of bloody warning. Yep, just another fun time in Z-Burbia for the Stanfords! Members Reviews: The Zombie Apocalypse Just Got Worse, Smelling What could possibly be worse than experiencing the zombie apocalypse? Try experiencing it with a stomach bug! Jace and the survivors are hit with a flu that affects half the camp, and bodies are emptied through both ends of the digestive track. Not bad enough? Throw in a Midwestern blizzard and watch what happens! Yes, things start out pretty gross (see how I declined to use the clichéd pun?), but get worse as Jace's constant head traumas remove his mental filter. Imagine dealing with that guy like him with Tourette's. Now, triple it! This series continues to deliver the laughs, and Andrew B. Wehrlen remains the perfect narrator for this adventure. Short Pork has gone insane!!!!!!! If you could sum up Z-Burbia 5 in three words, what would they be? "I don't know"..... I'm really sick of Jace thinking out loud, however it had to be so in order for banter between Jace and lizard Jesus. Have you listened to any of Andrew B. Wehrlens other performances before? How does this one compare? No, but he does an exceptional job. Don't listen out of order like me Here's my update at 2% in on Goodreads: Just started listening to the audio... one of the guys is sick and is constantly throwing up. The narrator actually makes a sound that sounds like someone throwing up... I'm going to get sick myself if this keeps up. Ugh... 2% in. That's not a winning start. Fortunately, this does not keep up for long. I would have shut it off it that were the case. I just cannot handle that noise! What's worse is that I did not know the characters. All of them are sick at the beginning of this, but I feel like a friend of a friend is telling me about this story. I have no vested experience with them so if a favorite character dies, I am not going to care. It was really hard getting into this, for the reason above, and a few others. The story feels like it is keeping me at arm's length, but I also just finished a zombie novel with the same premise, cult leader, child of one of the men stolen, etc. There are so many reasons why this one did not work for me but I think it mostly circles around the fact that this is book five. I'm sure had I known the characters that I would have enjoyed the story more.

NOS4R2 Audiobook by Joe Hill

Title: NOS4R2 Author: Joe Hill Narrator: Kate Mulgrew Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 04-30-13 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 148 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Summer. Massachusetts. An old Silver Wraith with a frightening history. A story about one serial killer and his lingering, unfinished business. Anyone could be next. We're going to Christmasland NOS4A2 is an old-fashioned horror novel in the best sense. Claustrophobic, gripping and terrifying, this is a story that will have you on the edge of the seat while you read, and leaving the lights on while you sleep. With the horrific tale of Charles Manx and his Silver Wraith, Joe Hill has established himself as the premiere horror and supernatural thriller writer of his generation. Members Reviews: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... Any additional comments? If the cat wasn't already out of the bag about Joe Hill's semi-secret parentage, this book would have freed the feline for sure as this could easily have been one of his dad's mid-80s books. "NOS4R2" particularly channels "Christine", with a hint of "IT" (which it even references). So, if you're a fan of King's, or of Hill's for that matter, whether to pick this up or not is an easy choice. Oh, and I was surprised to find that this Audio-version actually contains an epilogue (hidden in the audio-book production-credits) not found in my e-book version - and it's also very well read by Kate "Janeway" Mulgrew, so if you're wondering which version to get, Audio is it. I enjoyed this story very much The narrator did a great job and the story had enough action and "nastiness" to keep you interested. The idea of teeth shaped like fish hooks has stayed with me. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone interested in this genre. This was fantastic Kate Mulgrew works well with this book. Its so creepy and dark and she captures all of it. I didnt want to turn it off. Easily one of my favorites. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY excelente historia, excelente narración ha sido de los mejores libros que he escuchado, se los recomiendo! si eres fanático de Stephen King esta historia Té va a encantar! I Loved It - Great Story and Wonderful Characters Would you listen to NOS4R2 again? Why? I would listen again. A horror story where the villains and heroes are all characters and the story is a great listen. Bing and Mr Manx are despicable people who I almost liked.My first and hopefully not my last Joe Hill book. He's taken over where his father left off with horror some years back. Thank you Joe!!! The narrator was just brilliant - unlike some other books that I've heard recently, she was able to give the male and female characters - character plus. What other book might you compare NOS4R2 to and why? I've recently listened to Doctor Sleep (by the authors father). Both books reference each other once and the stories have a similar main stories of vampires after special children. I'm afraid they are different classes of books - Joe's book beats his dad's by a country mile. The narration of the female characters in King's Doctor Sleep reminded of a drag queen in full cry. NOS4R2 was made even better by Kate Mulgrew. With Doctor Sleep I ended up caring less if the protagonist (Danny) lived, died or went to Tahiti. I have 'known' Danny for about thirty years now, and I wanted know about the man. Every character in NOS4R2 I had some likeness for - even the bad ones.

The Happy Man Audiobook by Eric C. Higgs

Higgs Narrator: Matt Godfrey Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Valancourt Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Charles Ripley has a good job as an engineer, a pretty wife, and an expensive house in a fashionable San Diego suburb. But it isn't until Ruskin Marsh moves in next door that Ripley realizes how passionless his life really is. Marsh, a connoisseur of the arts, high-powered lawyer, model husband and father, and effortless seducer of women, is so supremely alive that Ripley finds himself irresistibly drawn to him. But after Marsh's arrival, local girls begin to vanish, marriages end violently, nights are split with endless, desperate screams, and horribly mutilated corpses are found. Soon, Ripley becomes caught up in an accelerating maelstrom of sex, drugs, violence, and ghastly, unimaginable rites...and begins to see the beauty of life. From its profoundly unsettling first pages, Eric C. Higgs's The Happy Man (1985) reveals the nightmare underside of the American dream and brilliantly echoes the Gothic horror tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and Roald Dahl. "The Happy Man is an essential '80s horror read: smart, sharp, unforgiving, unlike anything else in the genre." - Too Much Horror Fiction "[A] grisly shocker, understated for the most part but carrying the impact of a fist to the stomach...a most promising debut." - San Diego Union "A thoroughly engrossing Gothic horror story." - South Bend Tribune Members Reviews: Was He Really Happy? THE HAPPY MAN: A TALE OF HORROR is one bizarre piece of work from the 80's, brought back by Valancourt Books. I finished this book on Saturday and I still am not sure what to make of it! A couple moves in to a new housing development in a suburb of San Diego. Charles Ripley and his wife are mostly on an even keel, despite a tragedy that occurred shortly after the move. Then, the Marsh's move in next door and even though they don't know it, the lives of the Ripley's are soon about to change. First-the good. It is very difficult to put this book down. The chapters are short, (heck, the BOOK is short), and fast paced. Once things start happening, they don't stop happening until the very end. Second-the baffling. I'm not sure what the point of THE HAPPY MAN is supposed to be? I'm pretty sure there's some commentary going on here about housing developments, suburbia, immigration, sex, monogamy, corporate America, family dynamics, the decline of morals in society and so on, but was that the point? I don't know! Perhaps it's this simple: A man thought he was happy and then was shown that he wasn't? Or that it didn't take all that much to turn a happy, regular guy into something else altogether? Maybe everything is just as much a facade as was Charles Ripley's demeanor? Charles wasn't that good of a guy in the first place and it only took a small nudge to send him down the road of....well, you'll have to read this to find out. I'm going with a 4/5 star rating because I'm still thinking about this short novel days later and also because it was VERY difficult to put down once started. I'm also going with RECOMMENDED, if only so that you and I could talk about it and I could see what you think, when you're done! *I received an e-book free from Valancourt Books in exchange for my honest review. This is it!* The way horror should be written What a great pleasure to read this re published story some 30 years after the initial print run .

Hearing Voices? Don't miss the rest of the series! ©2005 Jack Ketchum (P)2005 Borderland Press Members Reviews: More Ketchum Please I wouldn't bother to review this had there been anything else by Jack Ketchum on audible, but this is the best you're gonna get from one of the best authors. Ketchum has earned quite a cult following (thanks to backing by better known authors like Stephen King) and has had three of his books turned into movies ('The Lost', 'The Girl Next Door' and recently 'Red'). He's one of the best contemporary authors working in this genre, or any genre for that matter. Until audible decides to crank out an audiobook of Ketchum's better novels (The Girl Next Door, Ladies Night or Off Season) this will have to do. The first story here, Forever, (which lasts until 25:55 in the 37:36 minute:second length of this audiobook) is very uncharacteristic of Ketchum. Its not horror or even a dark fic, its a love story, albeit a terribly well writen one, about a man losing his wife to a terminal disease. It feels authentic but its not the better of the two. The second, 'Father and Son' which is about an old man stuck in a room, losing his mind, is what most Ketchum fans will want to listen to. And despite it lacks the depth of 'Forever' it'll be the one you'll probably enjoy more for that very reason. In closing both of these are well-written and you're not gonna get anything better for this price. I'd definitely recommend it, at least until they publish something else by Ketchum. Irritating Music Killed it I love Ketchum, but this production was awful. The music is so loud, that you can't hear Ketchum's words. The music is irritating and constant throughout. A friend and I was listening and we had to give up, cause we could not understand it. I hope to be able to hear these stories in another recording. This is my second Dark Voices production and this irritating music seems to be their MO.

Title: Occult Assassin: Dark Missions (Books 1-3) Author: William Massa Narrator: James Foster Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-16 Publisher: Critical Mass Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The forces of darkness have a new enemy! Enter the terrifying world of former Special Ops soldier Mark Talon and occult expert/tech billionaire Simon Casca. Two men, united by tragedy, with one goal - to keep the world safe from black magic occult threats. Their chilling missions will take them across the globe and pit them against apocalyptic cults, cursed relics and supernatural terrorists bent on world destruction. The edition includes the first three books plus a bonus novella. Experience a series that listeners are describing as a perfect mix of action-adventure and paranormal horror. Damnation Code (book one) After a decade spent fighting the enemy abroad and keeping his country safe, Delta Force Operator Mark Talon is ready to settle down with the love of his life. But Talon's world crumbles when his fiancée becomes the victim of a murderous cult. The military man now has a new foe in his crosshairs, and this promises to be a very different war. The person responsible for his beloved's death is a Silicon Valley tycoon allied with the forces of darkness. Fusing cutting-edge computer technology with an ancient evil, the enemy here cannot be stopped by bullets alone. If Talon is to be victorious in his mission of vengeance, he will need to master a new method of warfare - the arcane arts! He must become...the Occult Assassin. Apocalypse Soldier (book two) At age 15, Nicole Robertson was possessed by a demonic entity. She survived this ordeal, thanks to a successful exorcism. Now, eight years later, Nicole is still haunted by the memory of the demon. But the nightmare isn't over. She is about to become the target of an apocalyptic cult led by a former elite soldier with a chilling plan for her future. Only one man can save Nicole from a fate worse than death. Only one man stands between her and the apocalypse. His name is Mark Talon. And he is about to go up against his most dangerous enemy yet. Spirit Breaker (book three) The former Delta Force Operator must confront an evil psychic cult leader and the spectral forces of the afterlife that he commands. Fortunately Casca's SPIRIT BREAKER program has been developing cutting-edge technology engineered to combat ghosts. A terrifying battle between the living and the dead awaits. Ice Shadows (bonus novella) Talon heads to Norway to stop a Black Metal musician who plans on using an ancient Norse ritual to trigger a frozen cataclysm. Members Reviews: Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets James Patterson What did you love best about Occult Assassin: Dark Missions (Books 1-3)? I liked the high sound quality. It was very professionally done. This book contains four quality occult action stories--Damnation Code, Apocalypse Soldier, Ice Shadows, and Spirit Breaker. This series is full of well-written scenes. One memorable scene was the way the Satanic cult murdered Talon's fiance with a stun-gun and knives. What other book might you compare Occult Assassin: Dark Missions (Books 1-3) to and why? These books are like a cross between the t.v. show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and any book by James Patterson. The occult theme, special ancient spiritual weapons, the computers being a medium to pass on evil curses and the constant struggle against dark forces are reminiscent of the Buffy series.

NA paranormal fantasy at its best by international best-selling author Tara Brown. Someone is drugging the fairest of them all and hurting them in the dark corners of the forests around Port Mackenzie - shrouding the town in mystery and darkness. But nothing is as it seems. In the dark corners of the small town, there is also a light, a cure to what ails the sick. But everything comes at a cost, a price that must be paid. Aimee James discovers that cost the moment she dies. She discovers there are worse things than dying. She finds herself cursed. Discover how the Devil's Roses all starts because in the end it is the beginning that chooses who we will become and what side we will take. Note from the author - This is the newly edited version. It won't ever be perfect because this is where I started; this was my first book. I don't even recognize the style of writing anymore, I have changed so much. So it is nice for me to be able to look at this and see where I started, how much I have grown as an author. We have gotten it as close to perfect as we can without ruining the experience of a debut novel by me, Tara Brown. Hope you enjoy, and thank you so much for listening to my beginning. Members Reviews: idk it just was so less than I expected I thought I would love it. and then it just skipped to a completely different path and forgot to clean up. I'm not sure I want to continue with the series. I hope questions are answered but then again I don't want to waste my time .. New fave This is the first time I have read anything from the series, I rather enjoyed the seemingly teenagy love story. It kept me in enthralled cursed or no cursed Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely I would this is a very gripping and intense story What did you like best about this story? it took you from come on hurry up to holy crap really and then OMG What Who Where ? Have you listened to any of Julie McKays other performances before? How does this one compare? I love her in this but have never heard her before Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? it made me laugh ,cry and get nervous and then angry it was an awesome book. Any additional comments? goin to read all the devils roses series Love it! great read! great characters! I have already read it now listening to it ! ! Teenage love story, wrong man, gone wrong... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Not for me. In the first line of the book description it says a "NA paranormal fantasy"..Ok, didn't really know that NA was New Adult. What? I thought that was Young Adult? Well I'm an old adult and the book rambles on about teenage feelings, and popular vs. nerd, and I've always loved him, oh yeah and someone is a serial rapist and there are some really incompetent immortals hanging around. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? The story in the description is very interesting. This is not that story. This story is about a teenage girl who made some bad decisions and has even worse luck. Have you listened to any of Julie McKays other performances before? How does this one compare? Narration was good Did Cursed inspire you to do anything? Never get a "NA paranormal fantasy" again

Title: The White Road Author: Sarah Lotz Narrator: Sam Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A cutting-edge thriller about one man's quest to discover horror lurking at the top of the world. Desperate to attract subscribers to his fledgling website, Journey to the Dark Side, ex-adrenaline junkie and slacker Simon Newman hires someone to guide him through the notorious Cwm Pot caves so that he can film the journey and put it on the Internet. With a tragic history, Cwm Pot has been off-limits for decades, and unfortunately for Simon, the guide he's hired is as unpredictable and dangerous as the watery caverns that lurk beneath the earth. After a brutal struggle for survival, Simon barely escapes with his life, but predictably, the gruesome footage he managed to collect down in the earth's bowels goes viral. Ignoring the warning signs of mental trauma, and eager to capitalize on his new Internet fame, Simon latches on to another escapade that has that magic click-bait mix of danger and death - a trip to Everest. But up above 8,000 feet, in the infamous Death Zone, he'll need more than his dubious morals and wits to guide him, especially when he uncovers the truth behind a decade-old tragedy - a truth that means he might not be coming back alive. A truth that will change him - and anyone who views the footage he captures - forever. Critic Reviews: "Dark and unsettling...Lotz knows how to develop suspense and horror.... The supernatural elements keep one engaged and guessing." (Kirkus Reviews) "An expertly fashioned, spine-tingling account of danger, both physical and mental" (Booklist) "Oustanding...Lotz excels at making you feel like you're there.... Fans of Dan Simmons's The Terror will be pleased." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Boring Maybe it's just me but this was the most boring book I have listen to so far. I couldn't stay focused, the people were boring the story was boring, I kept listening only because I thought it had to start getting better, but I was wrong. Starts out strong Book starts out very strong. But thereafter it just plods along and is unsatisfying. Narrators are great, especially the male. No closure I kept waiting for this book to get creepy or a little scary, but it never happened. The end lacked closure.

The Travelling Grave and Other Stories Audiobook by L. P. Hartley

Title: The Travelling Grave and Other Stories Subtitle: Valancourt 20th Century Classics Author: L. P. Hartley Narrator: Guy Bethell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-17 Publisher: Valancourt Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Though best known for his classic novel of Edwardian childhood The Go-Between, L. P. Hartley was also a master of supernatural and macabre fiction, the best of which is collected in The Travelling Grave and Other Stories. This volume demonstrates Hartley's versatility, ranging from traditional ghost stories like "Feet Foremost" and "The Cotillon" to the wonderfully black humor of the horror masterpieces "The Travelling Grave" and "The Killing Bottle". Originally published in 1948 and long out of print, this collection features 12 of Hartley's best tales. Members Reviews: Quiet Supernatural Horrors An excellent collection of supernatural and quiet horror. Almost every story works perfectly to reach the right pitch and deliver a clever twist or reveal to sum up the whole experience. I think anglophiles and fans of classic ghost stories will enjoy this collection a great deal. Practical Jokes and Other Things Gone Terribly Wrong! I very much enjoyed this collection of Gothic and creepy stories originally released in the 1940's. I generally prefer short tales that pack a punch, and these are definitely not that. However, they often have a good deal of humor and that sense of atmosphere in which I love to wallow. The standouts to me were: A VISITOR FROM DOWN UNDER was, for me, a beautifully told ghost story/tale of revenge. PODOLO A nice little day trip to the island of Podolo takes a nasty turn. This one reminded me that feral cats may not be worth the effort. THE TRAVELLING GRAVE was quite the funny story involving a misunderstanding involving perambulators. (Is that word even used anymore? It's a shame if it's not because it's a word that rolls nicely off the tongue.) Anyway, the humor of the situation quickly changed to horror at the gruesome ending. Always be careful playing hide & seek! CONRAD AND THE DRAGON I wasn't sure what to make of this fairy tale like...tale. It didn't have the usual fairy tale ending, but I found it to be totally charming. THREE OR FOUR, FOR DINNER was another tale involving some humor and a practical joke gone wrong. This was my first experience with L.P. Hartley and I'm so glad I gave this collection a try! Recommended! *Thank you to Valancourt Books for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. This is it.* A collection of twelve gothic tales! THE TRAVELLING GRAVE AND OTHER STORIES, by L.P. Hartley, was originally published by Arkham House in 1948, and is now offered in all formats by Valancourt Books. This volume contains twelve of Hartley's stories of supernatural and macabre fiction. Despite being a single author collection, I found that Hartley's stories varied from your gothic ghost-revenge tales, some dealing with unknown events, and even a few laced with unexpected comedy and dark humor. Some of my personal favorites were: --"Podolo": Where some tourists visit an unpopulated island . . . ". . . She loves it so much . . . that she wants to kill it . . . " --"The Travelling Grave": A devious host tries to play a dangerous game with an unsuspecting guest. "And his shoes were full of feet . . .

Too Late Audiobook by Sean M. Thompson

Thompson Narrator: Louise Cooksey Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-18 Publisher: Sean M. Thompson Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A woman on death row. A couple stuck in a snow bank when a beast looms near. A man recounting working with a notorious serial killer. A pair of thieves in a ghost town in the Old West. A writer afraid he might be possessed by a demon. Try to run. Try to fight. In the end, its all too late. Members Reviews: You won't make it; it's too late for you! "You never believe in us. You assume we are made up, to explain the nature of man. Child, we are the nature of man, because we have infiltrated humanity, time and time again. Every foul act you blame on your evolution, on your 'human nature' we take pride in under veils of delicious shadow, and hate, and psychic refuse. We bask in the glory of your undoing, one rape, one child murder, one genocide at a time. And you say 'God is dead.' You couldn't be more right. The battle for the world was lost long ago, and as your preachers thump the pulpit with bloody fists, we throw another body on the pyre." Right out of the gate, Sean M. Thompson comes swinging with his debut collection of stories, Too Late. In just 62 pages, Thompson manages to violate and decimate you with tales of lust, betrayal, murder, urban legends, and demonic possession. Thompson's visceral, hardcore prose will bludgeon you until you are at the threshold, leaving you a whimpering, bloody pulp. And if you manage to survive, his stories will linger within you long after you are done reading them; trauma locked away deep down inside you. Thompson's collection technically contains five stories, but a sixth story is added as bonus material. While the stories are not related to one another, there is a sense of cohesion, as they all take place in various parts of Massachusetts; this makes the stories, I think, more intimate for the reader, thus having a stronger impact. Thompson's stories are about very real, very flawed people who find themselves in unreal situations that challenge their perceptions of reality. There are terrible, unfathomable things on the fringes that are hungry for both flesh and spirit. The first story in the collection is Fickle Mortality. A serial killer is on death row, and during her final 60 minutes of life, she reflects on her crimes and how much she enjoyed them; the thrill of the hunt, and taking pleasure in her victims' final moments of life. Our killer also hints at something greater at work, indicating that she will be reborn and live on. Is she telling the truth, or is she just insane? That's for you to decide. With some commentary on childhood abuse, and the celebrity status of serial killers, Thompson starts off nice and slow, tying you to a chair and giving you a small taste of what is coming for you. The next story, and my favorite of the six, is Stranded in the Storm. Josh and Karen are driving in the middle of a snow storm, on their way to party. Their car spins out of control and crashes into a snowbank. Josh calls for a tow truck to get them out, but is told it'll take about an hour for it to arrive; in the meantime, Josh and Karen sit tight, but have no idea that something is out in the woods, something huge and unnatural, and it's stalking them. Thompson's detailed descriptions of the snow, cold, and the menace that is looming over Josh and Karen, really help to dial up the dread, making you anxious and shaky.

Without functioning navigation or communication equipment, they are lost and completely alone. One by one the men fall prey to a mysterious illness. Deckhand Noah Cabot is the only person unaffected by the strange force plaguing the ship and her crew, which does little to ease their growing distrust of him. Dismissing Noah's warnings of worsening conditions, the captain of the ship presses on until the sea freezes into ice and they can go no farther. When the men are ordered overboard in an attempt to break the ship free by hand, the fog clears, revealing a faint shape in the distance that may or may not be their destination. Noah leads the last of the able-bodied crew on a journey across the ice and into an uncertain future where they must fight for their lives against the elements, the ghosts of the past, and, ultimately, themselves. Members Reviews: Odd But Compelling This is an untidy story more in the paranormal fantasy realm than adventure. I think I was expecting more of the latter than the former. There is suspense and some action but theres also a lot of repetition that should have been edited out that made the story longer than necessary. The plot is unique and held my interest though the telling wasn't as crisp as it could have been. The narration was fine. Great Story, just incomplete Loved the characters, not a perfect book, but it will hold your interest. The ending needs re-work; it is incomplete and we are left with so many questions that should be answered after spending 11 hours with these characters. Great idea but just couldn't develop it It took awhile for the story to get going. When it finally did, I thought this turning out to be a great story. I was disappointed that it never really went anywhere after the big reveal. The captain and first mate characters weren't believable to the point of distraction. Having said all that, I found the setting to be engaging. The premise of the story was fresh and compelling albeit under utilized. It kept my interest until the end. Expert writing - Developed Characters - Scary This is so well written, it's refreshing. Don't know anything about the author, but he's good. The narration is wonderful. Touching in parts, very scary in others. Human nature at its best and worst. Left me with some plot questions but that didn't seem to matter in the end. Wonderful look at the many facets of each life and the mystery of our existence. Going to go see if MacLeod has anything else out there. Unique Twist on a Trapped in the Ice Story Nothing about this book is boring. I've never read anything by MacLeod before, so I was pleased to be grabbed by the throat on page one and pulled through the storms and ice and horror of the novel by a master of pacing. The deckhands and roughnecks of STRANDED are quick to jump to conclusions or violence, but the same force that stretches the suspension of disbelief never once takes your attention for granted with long, tedious passages of forty different ways to say it's cold. MacLeod knows you get it. He doesn't have to prove it over and over.

Can Such Things Be? Audiobook by Ambrose Bierce

Author: Ambrose Bierce Narrator: Roger Melin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-17 Publisher: SAGA Egmont Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: 24 short stories in fairly typical Bierce fashion: ghostly, spooky, to be read (or listened to) in the dark, perhaps with a light crackling fire burning dimly in the background. Stories of ghosts, apparitions, and strange, inexplicable occurrences are prevalent in these tales, some of which occur on or near Civil War fields of battle, some in country cottages, and some within urban areas. "Can Such Things Be?" implies and relates that anything is possible, at any time. ©2016 SAGA Egmont (P)2016 SAGA Egmont Members Reviews: Excellent...if abbreviated I know more about Bierce himself than of his stories, except for the classic, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", which is quite well known, and rightfully so. But Ambrose Bierce is one of those writers whose persona was at least the equivalent of his tales. I'll leave that to you to discover as I did, however; the joy is in the hunt! This rendering of "Can Such Things Be?" is excellent, a collection of Bierce's creepier tales. Some are better than others, and the whole was a bit spoiled by the absence of his "Missing Persons" stories, most pointedly the infamous "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field". The complete edition can be found as an ePub on Google Books and can be converted to Kindle format rather easily if you're so inclined, but it lacks the attention to formatting and corrections this one has--all in all, a wonderfully done piece. As such, even with the omissions it's still a VERY worthwhile read with some wonderfully gruesome twists that will stay with you a long time. If you've never read Bierce, this is a terrific introduction and a wonderful free download; it was, in fact, the first for my new Kindle. I suspect you will enjoy it at least as much as I did! Nice collection of short horror/ supernatural stories Nice collection of short horror/ supernatural stories. Of course it includes two stories that are the origins of names/places that were used by R. Chambers for his collection book The King in Yellow, which is to say Carcosa and what has been continued and influenced many authors (namely HP Lovecraft) and the lore used in the first season of True Detective. They are still loads of fun. Nothing like and old-fashioned ghost story right before ... Fans of HBO's True Detective are discovering Bierce and Chamber's short stories about Carcosa. Fans of HP Lovecraft have known about these authors for years. For me, True Detective awoke a desire to revisit these gothic horror stories that I read in middle school. They are still loads of fun. Nothing like and old-fashioned ghost story right before bed! Interesting Stories Ambrose Bierce was at his best with his horror and civil war stories. This collection of short stories includes both but focuses more on the horror. H.P. Lovecraft was fond of the opening story "The Death of Halpin Frayser" and this is an interesting tale, but I'd say the best stories in this volume are "The Monnlit Road", "Beyond the Wall", "The Middle Toe of The Right Foot", and "John Mortonson's Funeral". "The Damned Thing" ended up in the TV series "Masters of Horror". These stories have a unique flavor and transport you to 19th century America. A Must-Have for TKiY Fans! Bierce's "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" and "Hata the Shepherd" were both major influences on "The King in Yellow" by Robert W.

New questions arise as he travels through the white wasteland. Will he survive the remainder of The Great Storm? More importantly, does he want to? Members Reviews: great read loved it . fast paced! Really loved this series of books. Maybe it will continue! can't wait for the next one! Go Tom Go. LOVED LOVED LOVED the ending. make sure you listen to the epilogue!!! Sets the stage for part 6! Tom is still alive and the whole book is him trying to save as many people as he can. I can't wait for the next one. awesome story I would recommend this series to anyone that likes werewolves and trying to survive the horror. A must read! I listened to all 5 books in less than 2 days. I wish that there was a book 6 to wrap everything up. What a great job on this series! Keep up the amazing work! WOW.......... Book 5 did not disappoint having finished book 5, in my opinion, it was a wonderful wrap up of the series. The narrator was the same in all 5 books, which you me is a BIG plus. Troy did an excellent job work the characters. He was great in keeping the suspense of the story, sometimes I'd be on the edge of my seat, lol. Mr. Piper did a fantastic job with the story, he kept me very engrossed, cheering for Ton as he made his way through the new world he was thrown in. You'll cheer for the good guys and cuss the bad. He also ended the series well rounded. Thanks four reading my review.

Title: Children of the Night Author: Dan Simmons Narrator: George Ralph Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 07-01-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 168 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: For a dedicated American doctor, he promises the medical breakthrough of a lifetime, as well as a very special love she's never been able to find. But he also conceals a shockingly intimate link to a clan of vampires and their legendary leader - the fiend the world calls Vlad Dracula, who, for centuries, has triumphed over countless rival tyrants, including death itself. Critic Reviews: "Count Dracula kicks off the coffin lid again in this updated vampire tale....the book offers a mesmerizing tour through the ghostly, gray tatters of Romania." (Publishers Weekly) "Neatly ties the vampire legend into political history to create a new and clever twist to the idea of the vampire's craving for blood." (Library Journal) "Toothsomely well written." (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: needs a different reader I read the print version a few years ago & quite enjoyed it. When I got the audiobook, I was looking forward to many hours' worth of chores being vastly more entertaining....but. The audio version bogs down occasionally, such as during the longer, more detailed CDC research discussions (& I'm a biologist & researcher myself!). The real problem with the audio version is the narrator. Mr Ralph has one of those whiskey/smoky gruff voices which I usually like, but his leaves me wanting to cough & clear my throat repeatedly. Also, he never pauses at appropriate spots --such as when between chapters or drastic scene jumps-- and it can leave the listener disoriented for a moment. Worst of all, when he alters his voice for the male characters, some end up sounding just like Rodney Dangerfield. I kept waiting for ex-husband Tom, who shows up a lot, to say "I don't get no respect!" or "Take my wife --please!" Jerks one out of the dark, suspenseful world of the book, to say the least. Masterful! Don't let the bad reviews scare you off Im shocked and disappointed that this book got so many bad reviews. I have never read a Dan Simmons book that was less than masterful, and this book is no exception. As always, his research is impeccable, which allows him to make a distant world vivid. The characters are compelling (one of them is from Children of Night, where he is much younger). Other reviews have complained of boring stretches and romance. Some parts go into biology details, but I found these parts fascinating (and they are important to the story). As for the romance, well, I have no idea why a love interest is a bad thing. The characters are human, after all, and humans have love interests, so its quite realistic. But even if you dislike a bit of romance, dont let that deter you from reading, because its actually quite a small aspect of the book. I enjoyed the reader. None of his voices are irritating, and one of them is done exceedingly well. I feel that his performance enhanced my reading experience. Gory story meets Chick Lit This is like two books in one. You got this really gross gory story about Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) and then you have this chick story. They are thrown together, but not very well. I understand that DS has researched his stuff and this is kind of a historical fiction. I was turned off from the start, as DS decides that he must put down rich people who go to foreign countries to adopt children.

Dark Screams, Volume Five Audiobook

Title: Dark Screams, Volume Five Author: Kealan Patrick Burke, Mick Garris, Del James, J. Kenner, Bentley Little Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: "Everything You've Always Wanted" by Mick Garris: It was supposed to be the night of his life - a celebration of his one hit slasher flick. But the price of admission is higher than this has-been filmmaker ever could have imagined. "The Land of Sunshine" by Kealan Patrick Burke: Although she was mute long before the affair that nearly wrecked their marriage, her silence has tortured her husband ever since. Now he will seek out what he has lost or be driven mad by remorse. "Mechanical Gratitude" by Del James: Arnold loves his '68 Camaro almost as much as he loves his wife, and he's willing to do anything to protect them both, especially after hearing strange noises coming from his garage. "The One and Only" by J. Kenner: When he was seven, Will Underwood's nanny told him she had the Sight. Years later, a broken heart sends him to New Orleans, but it's fate that leads him to Madame Darkling's Voodoo Emporium. "The Playhouse" by Bentley Little: A real-estate agent is drawn into a children's playhouse behind an abandoned property she's trying to sell and finds herself strangely reluctant to leave. Members Reviews: Hope This is not the Last of Dark Screams Up first is âEverything Youâve Always Wantedâ by Mick Garris. This is the first story by Mick Garris that I have read. I must say that I enjoyed this story of a film Director, Jack Tarrington, a one-hit wonder who directed Taxed and is traveling to Indinapolis for HorrorThon, at which he is a guest of honor. He relishes the fact that people remember his small budget classic and over the course of the weekend, he finds that everything youâve always wanted comes with a cost. Horrifying and hilarious, this story sticks it. Next, is âThe Land of Sunsineâ by Kealan Patrick Burke which is about a man who had an affair and has been banished in to the land of darkness and wants to figure out the way back into the land of sunshine. This is a brooding and depressing tale of atmosphere and dread. I liked this one too. Third, is âMechanical Gratitudeâ by Del James. Arnold Rinaldi had his two loves, his wife Betty and his 1968 Camaro SS. When Arn died, Betty took the wheel. This was a nostalgic tale that I really enjoyed. Fourth, is âThe One and Onlyâ by J. Kenner. This is the first story by J. Kenner that I can remember reading. This one is a story of New Orleans and its voodoo and black magic. Will Underwood left for New Orleans to forget the girl of his dreams, Jessie, who dumped him mere days before he was set to propose. His old nanny, Miss Aimee told him he would always end up in New Orleans...and she was right. This one was very vivid and dreamlike, another winner. Finally, there is âThe Playhouseâ by Bentley Little. Lois had a new listing dropped in her lap and went over to see it for herself. In contrast to the perfectly manicured front year, the back yeard was a disaster. A playhouse stood in the back yard. A playhouse that would be right at home in the Twilight Zone. This was a fun story. A perfect book end for the fifth volume of Dark Screams. This was the second best volume of Dark Screams.

The stakes - and the darkness - are rising. Dani Harris thought there wasn't much left that could surprise her after serving as a forensic psychiatrist in East Salem. And Tommy Gunderson has faced few challenges in his life that he couldn't overcome by either physical strength or his celebrity status. But as they race to uncover what's really happening behind the high walls of St. Adrian's Academy, it becomes clear that supernatural forces have been at work here for generations. And now their focus is on making sure Dani and Tommy don't interfere. When the unseen becomes seen, faith is the only weapon strong enough to fight in a battle involving not only murder and betrayal - but angels and demons. Members Reviews: Way too wordy! Very slow and labored... although she is articulate, she doesn't have enough of a story line to support that much descriptive language. Recently discovered author, want to read them all! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely, if they like the mystery/thriller genre. This is a mystery/ thriller that grabs you in the first page or so and won't let you go. When it's over you want more. I recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this (Waking Hours.) The first book sets the stage. I read the first book in the series when it was given to me as a gift. I read almost non-stop for 24 hours! What was one of the most memorable moments of Darkness Rising? Just before and during the time when they all begin to believe that some of them are angels and they are vanquishing demons. What about Devon O'Days performance did you like? She does a good job of changing her voice and intonations for each character. You almost know which character is which simply by her voice. Who was the most memorable character of Darkness Rising and why? I can't decide, but if I must choose one, I would choose Carl. Any additional comments? I just discovered Lis Wiehl (a Fox News Anchor.) Her writing on this series is great & I plan to read her other books.

Limbus, Inc. Audiobook

Talley, Joseph Nassise, Benjamin Kane Ethridge, Anne C. Petty Narrator: Gregory Zarcone Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-16 Publisher: Journalstone Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Are you laid off, downsized, undersized? Call us. We employ. 1-800-555-0606 How lucky do you feel? So reads the business card from LIMBUS, INC., a shadowy employment agency that operates at the edge of the normal world. LIMBUS's employees are just as suspicious and ephemeral as the motives of the company, if indeed it could be called a company in the ordinary sense of the word. In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi pool their warped takes on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the fringes of society. One thing's for sure - you'll never think the same way again about the fine print on your next employment application! Members Reviews: I Wanted to Like It Would you try another book from the authors and/or Gregory Zarcone? I really wanted to like this listen but just couldn't get into it. I expected more depth in character, plot and story - seemed like a group of stories all thrown together for a quick hit press, not what I expected from such quality writers. Also the narrator was weak - sounded like he wasn't really getting into it ether. Half hearted. Love the book, needs a better narrator. The book is great. The narrator is so bad it makes my brain hurt. Mispronounced words are cringeworthy enough, but this man has clearly never met a punctuation mark that he didn't hate. Seriously, he made half the book sound like a run on sentence. And slow down, dude! This isn't a speed reading competition. You're narrating, not trying to punch a speed bag. What a Trippy Ride Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I'm not sure if I would recommend this audiobook as most of my friends have very different taste than myself. And this book is a bit of an acquired taste. What other book might you compare Limbus, Inc. to and why? I would say it sort of but not exactly reminded me of Stephen King's book Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Only in they both had multiple supernatural and sort of macabre style of short stories in them. But Limbus, Inc. is different from Stephen King's book in the way that Limbus has all tied with one common story line... Limbus, Inc. Employment Agency. Did the narration match the pace of the story? No. The narration was lacking. Within each story there were break indicators in the book to show that a shift of scenes was happening. At those breaks the narrator should have paused to indicate to the listener that we were now shifting to a new scene in the story. The narrator would read the last sentence in the last scene but not stopped at the period but rather just ran on to the next sentence that started the next scene. He read it all like it was a run on sentence; which was confusing to me the listener as I tried to listen as I was driving to my destination one afternoon. I had to pause the audio until I came to a stop so I can read the digital book I had of Limbus Inc. to make sense of it all. Because at one moment of the story the character is lying on the floor after making his great escape from the alien shop and the next in the same breath we hear that the character is talking about tasting fruit loops on his teeth and tongue.

Those who survived struggled to rebuild, creating makeshift societies with harsh new rules and harsher punishments. Some would be leaders, others slaves. But none would ever be safe from the walking death. Off the coast of Texas, an island research facility offers sanctuary, supplies, and hope to a desperate trio of survivors. But when they learn what the scientists are doing, how their experiments could unleash armies of the undead, they have no choice but to fight back. Members Reviews: Editor wanted: apply within Mr. McKinney's ideas are good, and his writing is decent, but this book DESPERATELY needs an editor. Redundant adjectives, phrases, and thoughts occur repeatedly. With concise editing, this book could be 100% better, and probably 30% shorter. Take your time do it right Independent writers either need to learn how to proofread and edit and/or hire someone to look it over. I cant believe that software programs wouldnt have helped too. When I see books like this, I cringe. My understanding is that this author for a quick minute was signed. Maybe Im wrong because when you put something out that has this many issues, you obviously dont respect your readers.

Though the search for his missing wife and child continues, his heart now lies in Edinburgh with Bonnie Jean - a beautiful Scottish werewolf whose friendly pack and flourishing pub have given him a place he can almost call home. But from the rocky heights of Sicily, the diabolical Francezci brothers plot the wolf-pack's destruction; and down in the terrible Pit beneath Le Manse Madonie, an ancient evil schemes. The vampires conspire. They reach a decision. They choose a vector. Mafia thug Mike Milazzo is no good to anyone, anytime, anywherewhich makes him perfect. Disposable. The brothers infect him with a deadly poison - an engineered plague that even a werewolf could never survive - and they offer him a terrible bargain: successfully contaminate the wolf-pack, and receive the antidote. Fail, and die! Mike has everything to lose. So does Harry Keogh. But the Necroscope lost everything once before, and he isn't about to do it again.... Members Reviews: Finally!!!!!! I have been waiting for Brian Lumley to land on here! The Necroscope books are among my favorite and i hope to see all of them on audible Not a full novel, not even close to lumleys best This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Anyone craving the necroscope will be seriously disappointed. This is not even a complete short story. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. I'm a huge fan of the necroscope books and this little tidbit just makes me depressed. Any additional comments? Where are the rest of them? The vampire world trilogy now please! :-) Only worth it if you have read Necroscope or more This is a nice re-visit to Lumley's world. I was happy to listen to it. It will not be much fun for people new to The Necroscope series. This is NOT Lumley's best work, and the narration is fast, I think rushed, perhaps for Radio. The novels are not available, they would be popular. I would love to hear them in audio format. Great story. Happy the Necroscope continues! Love the narrator. Listen to this book often. Look forward to Mobius Murders. Lumley has great attention to morbid detail. lived it one of my favorite authors. loved this book. Hope the rest of Brian Lumley Necroscope series will be in english soon .

Title: My Family Author: Matt Shaw Narrator: Chris Barnes Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-15 Publisher: Matt Shaw Publications Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 86 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Warning: This is an extreme horror novel. There is gore. There is bad language. There are scenes of a sexual nature. But hidden underneath it all is also a chilling story. Please do not purchase this book if you are easily shocked, disgusted, or offended. This book is not for you. Would you give up your child if a stranger asked? No? What if they offered money? Still no? What if they threatened the rest of your family? Give your child up or lose your entire family in the most horrific way possible. What would you do? How would you protect those you love and at what price? Members Reviews: Don't answer the door! This is another amazingly twisted book from Matt Shaw. A nasty thunderstorm wakes the entire family one night, so they all gather in the living room to calm everyone down. A stranded couple sees the lights are on and decide that is the house to ask for help. Would you let them in your house to use the phone to call for help? Seems like the nice thing to do right? I can honestly say that I dont think I will ever open my door to a stranger after dark again after listening to this book. This is every parents worst nightmare come true. And its not entirely unbelievable. Watch the news. You see tons of people who think they are entitled to something just because they want it. What is to stop them from believing they can adopt a child just because they ask? Do you think someone like that is going to take no for an answer? Chris Barnes is easily one of my favorite narrators. He always breathes life into the story, and makes it a pleasure to listen to. He also narrates my favorite genre, so its a win win for me :) Realistically Terrifying To me, the best kind of horror novel deals with situations that could happen in real life. My Family is one of those kinds of books. During a particularly nasty thunderstorm, Jeff and Dawn show up on Cathy and James's doorstep after their car breaks down. James, being the nice guy he is, invites the couple into their home, allowing them to use the phone to call for help. The couple immediately shows an interest in Cathy and James's five children. Luckily, help comes soon enough and Jeff and Dawn head out. The next day, Cathy and James are approached by the two strangers who want to adopt two of their children because they can't have kids of their own. They try to convince the parents that five kids it's just too many. Of course, Cathy and James refuse the offer and that's when their lives take an unimaginable, dark, and twisted turn. My favorite audio book narrator, Chris Barnes, brings this disturbing tale to life and his narration can only be described as chilling. His passion for narration combined with the intensity of the story comes through in every word, and the saying, "Waste not, want not" will never be the same again. This is another excellent tale from Matt Shaw that combines a well-thought out story with excellent characters and scares you won't soon forget. A disappointment The best thing I can say is that Cris Barnes brings his usual excellence to the table in this book. Aside from that the book is slow to get on with itself and never reached anything close to what matts other books attained.

Title: Dream Woods Author: Patrick Lacey Narrator: Joe Hempel Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Patrick Lacey Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: When Vince Carter takes a shortcut to work, he notices a billboard that nearly sends him into an oncoming van. The ad is for Dream Woods, New England's answer to Disney World. It closed decades ago, but now that it's back in business, Vince is eager to take his whole family, hoping the magic he remembers will save his failing marriage. His wife, Audra, isn't so sure. She's heard the rumors of why the place closed. Murder. Sacrifice. Torture. But those are just urban legends. Surely there's nothing evil about a family tourist attraction. The Carters are about to discover that the park's employees aren't concerned with their guests' enjoyment. They're interested in something else. Something much more sinister. Members Reviews: Solid Story, Excellent Performance Lemme tell you... I'm slowly making my way through Joe Hempel's library of narrated works because his voice is a joy to listen to. He's great at urban fantasy but so far where he really shines is horror for me. He's got this quality to his voice, which is so unique. It's like he's sitting at a campfire, gesturing for all of us to 'Come round, come round, I've got a story to tell you', and then proceeds to act out the story in a way that's terrifying: hushed, urgent, spooky, and wonderful. Listening to Mr. Hempel narrate horror is like revisiting those old childhood campfire ghost stories. I cannot recommend him enough. His voice was a perfect fit for this tale. The basic summation of the story is this: a father sees an ad for "Dream Woods", a themepark he'd attended when he was a child. In an attempt to make his family happy (and hopefully saving his marriage, as his wife is teetering on the edge of leaving him), he books a family vacation to a place he loved so much as a child! Except... well, time colors all memories, and while he thinks he remembers some maybe spooky things happening there, in reality, a LOT of people went missing from this park. One survivor of the horrors encountered there also sees an ad for Dream Woods, and is determined to go there to stop the dark forces behind the dire theme park once and for all. Interesting premise, and the first half... I was glued. I seriously was glued to it. The tension and suspense was so thick you could cut it with a knife and it had the hair on the back of my neck standing on edge. Why? Because it took simple things and twisted them *just* enough to make them terrifying. Why I can't give the story 5 stars is that once the splatter started, it lost that tense quality for me and became more... banal. So, maybe I'm jaded when it comes to horror. Maybe I need more blood, guts, gore, or what-have-you to really get spooked when it comes to splatter... but the first half of this audio book where it WASN'T gory was the scariest part! Still would heartily recommend this for a listen. You won't be disappointed! Creepy amusement park filled with evil? Yes please A creepy amusement park filled with evil creatures? I'll take one ticket please! This is the first of Mr. Lacey's stories that I have experienced and I must say it was a blast. The story mainly revolves around one family's horrific experience at a creepy amusement park with a dark past. This fast paced story features interesting characters and a wonderful locale.

Members Reviews: This Quickly Turned into My Favorite Book in Genre What made the experience of listening to SEAL Team 13 the most enjoyable? I LOVED SEAL Team 13 by Evan Currie. This led me to read all four of his Sci-Fi series. It also brought me to SEAL Team 666 & its sequel, Age of Blood; but Im Jonesin' for the next SEAL Team 13 Novel! None of the rest does it for me like this Hit! Chock full of our .50 Caliber, Beowulf M4 wielding, ST 13 Favorites, taking the heads off of every Supernatural BG in sight per single trigger pull! This would make many of my friends and me big time buyers of SEAL Team 13 - Part 2! I'm already on my 3rd listen through! Can anyone tell me if a sequel is in the works? Being Dyslexic as a Philosophy & Pre-Med Major at U.C. Berkeley - Cal. And an MBA from Haas there as well, I had to push through 10-15 heavy books a week for 7 years. In order for me to ingest all that info properly enough to maintain a 3.72 GPA there all the way through Graduate School, I had to read each paragraph 3 times before moving on to the next. Audible lets me close my eyes and just listen to all of my favorite, and new favorite, books. It is, for me, like sitting 'round the Campfire, with the sky full of stars, while listening to my dearly departed Grandpa tell me each story. It is amazing! I did not pick up one solitary book to read since I Graduated in 1999, and now that I discovered Audiobooks in February of this year, I have enjoyed well over 50 Novels, with a huge amount to go. Thank You! enjoyed this story quite a lot This was a great story I enjoyed this story very much I'm hoping Evan Currie will write more of these with seal team 13 Told ya he was getting better! ;) I said early on that Evan Currie was going to get better with each book, and he hasn't disappointed me yet! Aside from the books he's turning out at a pretty steady pace, I really like a lot of things about the Author "personally" (I don't know him personally, I just know what I've SEEN that he's DONE)... He doesn't just 'write about' "Perseverance" and "Courage" and the usual things; He displays those qualities himself! The First book I read by Currie was "Into The Black", which he'd originally Self-Published. As I said while reviewing that book, "Some people have a story inside them that they believe will connect with readers, if only they can get that story in front of the intended audience. For a new author, getting a book published the traditional way is very often a lesson in 'Why you can't', punctuated by stumbling blocks that seem almost designed to say 'give it up, you don't believe in it enough'".

I Know Who Did It Audiobook by Stephen Leather

Title: I Know Who Did It Author: Stephen Leather Narrator: Paul Thornley Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-17 Publisher: Isis Publishing Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Jack Nightingale was always happier dealing with criminal cases or even divorce than he was with matters of the supernatural. So when a client came with a simple request to uncover the meaning behind her father's last words, he was happy enough to take the case. Little did he know that the investigation would lead him to one of the vilest demons to ever walk through the gates of Hell. Members Reviews: Jack has a devil of a time with a cold case I KNOW WHO DID IT is the most recent (published June 30, 2015) Jack Nightingale short story. One could read it as a one-off, but then one would be missing all the fun of the backstory regarding who Jack is, and how he got to be where he is now (in this short story); a London PI, ex-cop, who has (at the time that this story takes place) already had several close encounters of the first kind with black magic and demonology. If none of that makes any sense, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of NIGHTFALL, the first of 6 major novels and a handful of shorts featuring Jack and company. In I KNOW WHO DID IT, Jack is hired by the surviving sister of a young woman who was found dead of an apparent suicide 40 years earlier at a posh English boarding school. On his deathbed, the two girls' comatose father suddenly sits up and screams "I know who did! it", prompting the surviving sister to hire Jack to find out what happened in this extremely cold, cold case. Jack being Jack, and Leather being Leather, Jack takes on this seemingly impossible request (he is in between cases, and novels, NIGHTSHADE [#4] and LASTNGHT [#5], at this point) and of course, all hell breaks loose. Fans of the series will rejoice in seeing Jack back in London with Jenny, the MG and other old friends. Leather is clearly not done with Jack, and is as comfortable writing Nightingale short stories as he is with the full novels. I'm waiting for novel #7 in the series, but while you're busy with Spider Shepherd Mr. Leather, perhaps you'll throw us Jack fans a bone with a Jack Nightingale novella, set back in London with Jenny, Marlboros, bacon sandwiches, a cranky MG and Robbie Hoyle. I think there's more to the Robbie story than we know at present. Highly recommended (both for fans and for tyros as well). JM Tepper Addicted to this series! I am loving this series by Stephen Leather. I haven't read his other series because I am not really into spy/assasin novels but now I am seriously re-thinking it! These books keep you on the edge of your seat. I've read every one to date and can't wait for the next. Jack nightingale conquers another demon Fast paced read. Jack uses his private detective skills in an old murder mystery with weird facts and scary intrigue, a surprise, a ritual and he faces a new demon. Loved it. More please. Four Stars Pretty engrossing, I found this book to be a very good read. Awesome!

The Tell-Tale Heart Audiobook by Edgar Allan Poe

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar Allan Poe) — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:44:49 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Tell-Tale Heart Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection. The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares: Premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now. Also in this collection of Poe's tales of mystery and imagination: "The Black Cat", "The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar", "The Cask of Amontillado", "Ligeia", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Premature Burial", and "The Raven". Editorial Reviews: Listeners obsessed with all things gruesome, gory, and gritty are in for a treat with this eerie recording of Edgar Allan Poes infamous "The Tell-Tale Heart". This best-known of the spook-masters macabre offerings is narrated by a nameless and possibly deranged killer obsessed with proving his own sanity while simultaneously describing in great detail the meticulous murder and subsequent disposal of a similarly unnamed acquaintance. Voice actor William Roberts crisp, resounding tones perfectly complement and compound everything terrifying about this masterful tale, and his precise manipulation of dramatic tension creates an engrossing, utterly unstoppable, and wholly hair-raising audiobook experience. Critic Reviews: "Those who thought only Basil Rathbone could narrate Poe are in for a surprise and a treat. The no-nonsense William Roberts narrates a production mercifully free of frills. No unnecessary music or sound effects interfere with the brilliance of the writing or the purity of the performance." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Perfect delivery. loved it! a well delivered rendition of my favorite of Poe's works. Definitely worth the purchase. Creepy... Um... creepy. But of course it is... it's Edgar Allan Poe, the original creepy writer from the USA.

Maplecroft Audiobook by Cherie Priest

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/365/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Maplecroft Subtitle: The Borden Dispatches, Book 1 Author: Cherie Priest Narrator: Johanna Parker, Roger Wayne Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The people of Fall River, Massachusetts, fear me. Perhaps rightfully so. I remain a suspect in the brutal deaths of my father and his second wife despite the verdict of innocence at my trial. With our inheritance, my sister, Emma, and I have taken up residence in Maplecroft, a mansion near the sea and far from gossip and scrutiny. But it is not far enough from the affliction that possessed my parents. Their characters, their very souls, were consumed from within by something that left malevolent entities in their place. It originates from the ocean's depths, plaguing the populace with tides of nightmares and madness. This evil cannot hide from me. No matter what guise it assumes, I will be waiting for it. With an axe. Critic Reviews: "Cherie Priest is supremely gifted and Maplecroft is a remarkable novel, simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. It is at once a dark historical fantasy with roots buried deep in real-life horror and a supernatural thriller mixing Victorian drama and Lovecraftian myth. You won't be able to put it down." ---Christopher Golden, author of Snowblind Members Reviews: The lengthy build up is worth the mystery. Would you listen to Maplecroft again? Why? Yes. I think it will become a yearly treat for the Halloween season. Who was your favorite character and why? Lizzie - she has this practical side, complete loyalty, and that axe. What does Johanna Parker and Roger Wayne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? They imbued the storyline with emotions, wonder, anger, pride, lust, sisterly love, etc. By the way, GoodReads says the two readers are Roger Wayne and Meredith Mitchell. Which is it? If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? It came from the deep, finding humans easily manipulated. That is until it met Lizzie's axe. Any additional comments? Lizzie Borden and her older, disabled sister Emma live in Fall River, Massachusetts. A few years back, they went through trying times when their parents died in an unexpected and rather gruesome manner. Despite the trial and a verdict of innocent, Lizzie is still treated with suspicion by the townsfolk. Hence, Emma and Lizzie moved to a manor house, Maplecroft, on the outskirts of town. While their parents may have been the first to succumb to a madness that originates from the depths of the sea, they are not the last. Hence, the need for Lizzies axe. This tale was rich in character development and suspense. Indeed, I felt it shared a kinship with Mary Shelleys Frankenstein and Bram Stokers Dracula. The tale opens slowly as one becomes acquainted with Lizzie and Emma. The story is told through a series of journal entries and personal letters, giving the narration a very personal note. With each letter, each journal entry, we got another small glimpse that something wasnt quite right. Emma, a renowned biologist (although she has to use a male pen name in this time period of late 1800s), studies the progression of the madness and ultimately the creatures themselves. Lizzie, having to take a more practical stand, has muscles gained from the need to swing an axe (for wood or defense), carry her disabled sister from room to room when she is ill, and the general running of a manor house.

Shadows and Teeth Audiobook

Title: Shadows and Teeth Subtitle: Ten Terrifying Tales of Horror and Suspense Author: Antonio Simon Jr., Trevor Boelter, Mia Bravo, Mark Meier, J.S. Watts, Paige Reiring, Rich Phelan Narrator: Wyatt S. Gray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-16 Publisher: Darkwater Syndicate, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Prepare for extreme horror. This collection of 10 stories features a range of international talent: award-winning authors, masters of horror, rising stars, and fresh new voices in the genre. Take care as you reach into these dark places, for the things here bite, and you may withdraw a hand short a few fingers. Members Reviews: Horror you can sink your teeth into... What made the experience of listening to Shadows and Teeth the most enjoyable? These stories are really scary, and many types of horror are represented: slashers, serial killers, and supernatural paintings just to name a few. Each story brings a new crop of unexpected (and often gruesome) twists. The narrator's performance really puts you in the action. His storytelling is nuanced, subtle where it needs to be to build tension, and outright dramatic during the heated spots in the book. What did you like best about this story? This book is a collection of stories by 10 authors from all over the world. Their creativity and ingenuity really shine in each terrifying tale. Which scene was your favorite? Hard to say, all the stories are great. The book starts off on a strong foot with the lead story, "Water Ice And Vice," which is a supernatural horror tale. From there the book proceeds to many different types of scares, from the true-to-life serial killer to demons who turn a victim's home into a diabolical death trap. "The Final Spell" is a chilling tale told - interestingly enough - in second person, and done very well. And the novella that closes the book, "Crying," is a great take on the haunted painting motif. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Terror ten ways - a horror buffet. Bon appetit. Any additional comments? This is a book you can sink your teeth into, but just be careful it doesn't sink its teeth into you first. Horror with humor .. The author writes that everything that scares you has shadows and teeth . I've never thought about that, but yes it's usually true. I enjoyed this collection immensely , I was skeptical about 10 short stories read by one narrator. Wyatt S. Gray was not a narrator I am familiar with, but a fan now. Each story is completely unique and great. Every one has it's own theme. And all terrific . From the description of the authors , each one has published mostly for magazines or other short articles. That I was also a little pessimist about. But put these authors together and it adds up to a perfect compilation. I am very glad I selected this book. I enjoyed all of the stories except one. And only because it was a genre I'm not fond of. In a word read this collection if you enjoy real people in horrific circumstances , but are able to find a way to use your wit to turn the situation around . 110 Octane Nightmare Fuel Dear reader: press on if you're a fan of a good scare and sleepless nights. Ten flavors of horror brilliantly narrated What made the experience of listening to Shadows and Teeth the most enjoyable? The ten stories in this book are genuinely scary. They'll keep you up at night! And since ten authors collaborated in this book, you get as many distinct interpretations of horror.
