Members Reviews: PEOPLE CHECK IN, BUT THEY DON'T CHECK OUT THE PERSON WHO TOOK MY LEGS, IS UNDER THE BED It is black or white on rather you will love or hate this book, and you will do one of the two. If you enjoy slasher movies and/or you are the type to pay extra to see the freaks at the circus, you will love this. If you do not enjoy such things you will hate this. I'M SURROUNDED BY FREAKS. Q: WHAT DO YOU WANT A: I WANT TO WATCH YOU BLEED. If you are still reading then you will love this, so how does this compare to other Konrath scary books? I have read three of Konrath's science fiction books and this is my third scary or dark book. This is a five star book, but I did like Trapped best and then Afraid and then this. I'm sure I should not admit to it, but I have always been fascinated by inbreeding and the results. X-Files has an episode involving an inbreeding family that I liked a lot. Due to Man's silly belief that leadership is in the blood, we have several examples of inbreeding throughout our history with the Kings and Queens and Pharaohs. The premise for this story is a family who has Roosevelt blood and believes they can breed a new president. Through most of the book I was shocked and grossed out, but I will admit toward the end, it did get to the point of enough already. Konrath got to the point where he was just coming up with all the weird oddities he could think up and the story got a bit redundant. I also did not find the Mountain Lion scary, nor did I think it fit into the story that well. I realize that Mountain Lions are nothing to be messed with, but it was just a regular everyday mountain lion. You can not compare Konrath to Koontz or King, these guys have totally different styles. King and Koontz write scary mess with your head stuff, sometimes with character development and usually a political message. Konrath writes dark, gory, shocking stuff, without character development or any messages. He is just trying to entertain. The narrator is very good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/New-Year-Island-Audiobook/B00PZJ7ENC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wow, just wow! Holy Moly was this ever a good book! I mean WOW!!! This is a horror / adventure / suspense / mystery / edge of your seat thrill ride and more. It's like survivor meets the hunger games. It was such a good read, I stayed up way to late just so I could finish it. This book had me on the edge of my seat. Every time I thought the story was coming to an end, something else would happen! It has so many twists and turns in it and some of the characters are really twisted too. If you like Steven King books, you will love this book too! Someone had an idea to make a new reality show on a deserted island and it would only last 2 weeks. The contestants were wined and dined on a huge yacht (that turned out to be rented) and promised the winner of the event would get 5 million dollars tax free. Naturally the contestants all jumped on the idea and signed up. Little did they know that all contestants were chosen for a reason and that reason would be discovered down the road. As the days go by contestants start to disappear and / or die. Everyone is suspicious about everyone else and no one trusts any one! The entire island has cameras every where. Then a few days in, the contestants are told that this is going to be an internet and pay per view betting sensation. People are actually betting on each contestant and what they think the contestants next moves will be. The contestants also learn they have several things in common with one of them being they are are a survivor of something in their past. This book was just incredible! The author, Paul Draker totally blew my mind with this story. So well written and the imagination it took to come up with all the details. The narrator, Teri Schnaubelt is one of my favorite narrators and always entertaining with all her voices and accents! This book itself, is a fantastic bargain at 725 pages in book format or 23 hours in audio... what a deal! AREALLY GOOD LISTEN! Some sections of the book were pretty unrealistic. It is a a work of fiction after all. I couldn't stop listening. You can't ask for a better recommendation. The narration was excellent. Exciting plot and great characters. What did you love best about New Year Island? The story kept going and didn't just abruptly end without wrapping up the story line. What was one of the most memorable moments of New Year Island? Constant plot twists. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, although I rationed it out over the painting job I was completing. A well-performed WhoDunnit with a bit of gore Would you consider the audio edition of New Year Island to be better than the print version? I have not (and may not) read a print book of this size. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Grits-Guns-Glory-Audiobook/B01DAQG35G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My wife said the whole time I was listening to this I was laughing and had a grin ear to ear. Which I agree with and needed severely. What other book might you compare Grits, Guns & Glory to and why? I have to compare it to season 1 because Hartness is really my first "paranormal" guilty pleasure besides Butcher. Grits, Guns & Glory is a great continuation of the Bubba saga for me. Have you listened to any of John Solos other performances before? How does this one compare? Ok this I had a huge problem with this... Feeling like I was about to rise up in open revolt my wife had to clam me down and play devils advocate for this imposter!!! I mean Mr Solo. after a good amount of tyrannical protest in my living room and resisting the urge to use my pad as target practice out back. I gave it a try and loved it. It was a pretty seamless transition. If you could rename Grits, Guns & Glory, what would you call it? Renaming it would be heresy Any additional comments? I've blown though probably 80% of Hartness's work and love it all. It's a good time and can't wait for more to come out... More, please!!! I enjoyed this as much as the first. A great collection of stories. I loved that Skeeter got his own story! I particularly enjoyed Howl. A few people have complained about the new narrator, but I think he did a fine job. Honestly, I thought he sounded more like the Bubba I imagined when I read the shorts. It is certainly a different take on the character than the last book, but after a few minutes I fell right in step with him, and he had me laughing out loud more than once. Great job, Mr. Hartness! Keep up the good work! Great story I wish they brought in the same narrator from the first volume, but John Solo did a great job. The stories were good but there was conflicting information between the first volume and the second volume. (spoiler alert) For example the promise Bubba made to the sasquatch was to kill his father and not to kill his brother. He didn't know his brother was alive. The sword was reported to have been won in a duel during WWII by his great grandfather and made of iron. In the second volume it was crafted from a native American relic and star metal specifically for his great grandfather. I took a star off from the overall rating because of this because these small flubs could have been easily worked around to make the story work without having to rewrite and contradict the previous stories. Overall I did really enjoy these stories and gave it 4 stars. They are great for what they're intended to be. Easy listening and entertaining. these books can be enjoyed by many people This is the second series of Bubba the Monster Hunter. It is composed by several short stories and also the conclusion to Family Tradition. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Gingerbread-Girl-Audiobook/B002VA3ARW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great to listen to during exercise, or chores, because it makes you hyper! On the Edge of the IPOD. This heart pounding thriller which the is also located in the Florida keys (read Duma Key) kept me on the waiting until the end. My wife loved because it is so short. So short attention span people and ADD people rejoice, this is the book for you! Pretty good. Not what I expected. I have been on a "King kick" lately. I am not necessarily a fan of horror, but Mr. King creates characters who are not only realistic, but corporeal. I read his books for his characters. This story was no different. There were not ghouls or goblins in the sense of many of his other novels, but this one was still suspenseful. The human ghoul came out of nowhere, and I couldn't stop until I found what became of the Gingerbread Girl. I also recommend Duma Key and Lisey's Story. Rediscovering King Very enjoyable, fast-paced listen. King was one of my favorite authors in my younger years, but I hadn't read any of his books in awhile -- perhaps thinking I'd outgrown the supernatural themes. This book, however, was not about a supernatural force but a crazy and dangerous serial killer. King writes him well...as he writes everything well. It was a joy to rediscover King. His work has matured along with him, and his female character was well done. My only regret is that I couldn't put it down, and so the enjoyable two hours ended too quickly! Not Horror, but Great in All the King Ways Firstly, great title, Mr. King. Nextly, while the story board was unoriginal, the character and inner monologue of our protagonist was so well-hewn in that satisfying in that uniquely King way that the reader is, as always, quite unable to stop until the end. Not among his best, but I'll never turn down a King story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Garden-of-Fiends-Audiobook/B0723HF133 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book was absolutely terrifying at times. The spiders!!! OMG! The book was also very sad. I actually felt bad for the addicts and what they go through mentally. The stories deal with all types of addicts and are all pretty creepy! Great collection of scary stories from some great authors. Rick Gregory did an excellent job with the narration, even making it sound a bit creepier at times. Loved it! Horrors of addiction I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. This is an anthology about a different kind of horror. It is not the explicithorror we find sometimes in books, but the real one caused by addiction. Sometimes these monsters can be scarier than the ones in our imagination. A Wicked Thirst by Kealan Patrick Burke A man and his insatiable thirst for alcohol will push him to do the unthinkable. It is a rather dark story with powerful images. The One in the Middle by Jessica McHugh In a near future a new kind of drug is causing havoc in society. This tale was imaginative and complex. Garden of Fiends by Mark Mathews This one is longer than the others. Tara is recovering from addiction thanks to her loving family. But her boyfriend is released from prison and things start to go south. She will be tempted, her father's trust issues will push him to do unforgivable things and her mother will drastically change. A vivid example of how drugs can destroy a family. Sad and tragic, and with well written characters. First, Bit Just a Finger by Johann Thorsson This story is a good metaphor for drug use. It has powerful and very clear images about how one can end up if taking this route. Last Call by John FD.

Members Reviews: Meh Mostly entertaining, but didnt hold my attention. predictable story. Not scary. I prefer a higher reading/listening level. Very very predictable A lot of repetition and predictable storyline, ugh. I am trying to listen to the end of the book but really could care less about every single character in it. Don't waste your credit! Enjoyable ghost story with a twist The premise if this book is a team that has been assembled for a documentary is taken to a abandoned mansion on a deserted island to prove the existence of ghosts and that the place is haunted. The team has a token skeptic, psychic, camera man, and others. Were they really brought to prove the existence of ghosts? Or are they looking for something else for the rich producer who is dying from cancer. Listened to audible version and enjoyed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Grip-of-It-Audiobook/B07493QJ1Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ultimately disappointing I think the best kind of horror stories build. You get to uncover some mystery in bites and pieces. This novel seemed to stall for a long time in the middle. No new information, just the couple being subjected to the same "haunting," chapter after chapter after chapter. Don't Waste Your Time Synopsis: A couple, James, and Julie, move into a more rural area outside "the city." It never really says what the city is, but I assume that it's New York. It very well could be any big city in the northeast, but I doubt it's anywhere west of Indiana. From the beginning, they notice the sound that permeates much of what is going on. They try to get in touch with the formal realtor, but his advertisement is gone and the number on his website is out of service. They notice things that lead them to believe there are ghosts (shadows, Julie is covered in bruises, James is missing time, there is mold growing everywhere, cartoon faces are drawn all over, and more). The entire story switches perspective and makes you believe that one of them may be hiding something or just isn't being forthright. They are both unreliable narrators, but, to be honest their unreliability seems unimportant. The Review: Like I said in the title of the review, don't waste your time. This book wasn't scary if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for a book in the psychological suspense category, technically, that's what this is. The problem is that there usually is some kind of resolution. James and Julie's story just seems like the most boring way to inform the read of some outlandish and crazy moments. I wanted there to be this big reveal and I even had a theory. I'll make this simple and just say that every moment of this book was dull. EVERY moment. I'm very disappointed in this book and sad that I won't be able to get the time I wasted back. The narrators were decent, so I'll give them three stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Whispering-Corridors-Audiobook/B06Y1VNBZV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A better boogie man I really loved the story! So much so that I listened to it all in one sitting. The reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 is that I didn't feel it wrapped up the ending as well as it could've. I have a love/hate relationship with cliff hangers. But I really hope there will be a second book. I loved that the name given to the mysterious entity in the book, "Upside Down Man". I loved how the author took the idea of "what if an urban legend turned out to be completely real". A very freighting thought. I'm glad that the author created its own character with its own mythos. Kept it fresh and new. What a fun spooky adventure that was! Entertaining story for fans of paranormal fiction This was an entertaining ghost story. The plot seemed very familiar and a bit predictable (kids go into haunted house against all warnings to make a documentary.....), but I enjoy ghost stories and stories of haunted places, so I was able to look past that and just enjoy the ride. I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by Joe Hempel, and he did a good job giving everyone a unique and consistent voice. Overall, an entertaining story for fans of the paranormal. Loved It!!!! Hooked from beginning to end!!! Any additional comments? From the very first chapter I was hooked! Very scary stuff. I actually had a very bad toothache the couple days I was listening to the book. But not once during the book did I think of it or anything else except the story. It held my complete attention the whole time. If you like haunted house stories this is for you. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick scare. I was given this book by the author for an honest review in return. Great ghost story. This is a ghost story that has Ambrose's this flare all over it. This is the fourth book I have listen to from this author and I really enjoy her work. She definitely has her own style of writing, which I adore. This is a ghost story but definitely had me scratching my head towards the end of the story but then I realized: it was an excellent twist!

All of the narrators were good but the ones who played Carey and Katelyn were definitely my favorite. Carey and Randall's relationship made me laugh so much and Katelyn had such a great character development. I couldn't stand Jackie, she was a bad friend, and I felt so bad for Meryl, my heart went out to her. fantastic second book in the series if you enjoyed The Unnoticables you'll enjoy this, more of the same giving context to a few charitcers. Hurry up book 3! A Bit Fillery Brockway's characters and their narrators are as spot on as ever. But the story as a whole feels like it only exists to arrange whatever is coming next. Which is okay. Just as long as whatever is coming next is as freakin' sweet as The Unnoticables. Dammit, Brockway.

Members Reviews: Interesting mix of fact and fiction The writing was decent enough. What really interested me though were the biographical details of Lovecraft and Crowley. I feel ambivalence about using historical figures as fictional characters, but I can't deny that it makes for compelling reading when you know something about them. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. For Lovecraft fans! If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft or Alistair Crowley, you'll enjoy this short story about how their paths intertwine. A strange Indian character reached out to each of them to reach enlightenment through Cthulhu. Definitely an unusual tale. Great narration by Rick Gregory! Historical Bios mixed with the supernatural If you are interested in learning about HP Lovecraft or Alistair Crowley, this book will definitely interest you. This is two short Bios that are tied together by a supernatural figure. I did not find it scary, only unusual. Definitely stands out from the pack. The narrator, Rick Gregory, did a great job as usual. I requested a free review copy of this audio book and I am leaving a voluntary and honest review. Huh..Scratching my head right now. It took me a minute to figure out this odd story. A dark journey in the visionary mind of Lovecraft mixed with the dark supernatural practitioner Crawley isn't crazy enough. Add strange Indian, evil spirits and a quest for enlightenment and you've found your book. This story nearly drove me crazy trying to sort the reality, internal madness, and spiritual chaos going on in this book. I requested this book "not realizing exactly what I was getting into" in exchange for my honest review. Honestly, I felt the narration was the best part. I'm sure some of you will love it, but for me these characters were too all over the place. Maybe creating all that chaos was the point? I guess I missed it! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/House-of-Secrets-Audiobook/B01N0RBCBL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The beast survived, and attached itself to Joseph's young cousin, Elise. Garrett writes to beg for their help. Joseph and Sophie travel to meet him at Kensington, a long-abandoned mansion that overlooks a dead town. The house offers a small hope: its original owner had dedicated her life to researching the monster that possesses Elise. Garrett hopes to find a way to kill the creature without harming his daughter. But Kensington is a dangerous building.

Desert Storm is raging in Iraq but 22-year-old Jack has more pressing matters at home. His favorite bar, The Spot, is about to be sold out from under his friend Julio.

(Charlaine Harris, author of the Southern Vampire mysteries featuring Sookie Stackhouse) Members Reviews: Repairman Jack Early Years Book 2 After being quite disappointed in the first novel in this series, I decided to go ahead and listen to this, the second book, I liked it quite a bit better than the first book..especially since there weren't hanging story lines as there were in the first book... I enjoyed this so much I purchased the third in this series plus the first one in the original series.. Recommended for those who like fix-it type guys with a touch of paranormal Slooooow What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Picks up a bit in the second half, but I'm not sure the payoff was worth it. Actually, I'm sure the payoff was not worth all the hours I put into this. Bottom line, there's way too little of Jack and far too much of the side stories. Too much detail put into characters that are not Jack. Like when Wilson shows us step-by-step how a guy goes about scamming a senior citizen out of her savings. Goes on and on for hours. Literally. Soooo boring. Otherwise well-written and I still count myself a fan. Going to the new world order I find Jack to be the working mans conscience. F Paul Wilson can spin the tail of the street, with the flavor of wright and wrong, walking the fine line in the center of the highway. Loved it. Now comes the whole series. I Loved it. Loved the first and this one, the second books. Now comes the rest of the whole series. Totally Awesome I can't get to the next book fast enough. I already know I'm going to go through this whole series really quick. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Shadowland-Audiobook/B0085CBVLC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

So pleased to find one of my top favorite books finally on Audible. The narrator was very good, and the story is Peter's best! Performance Equals the Story This has been a fav book since I read it in my youth. So vivid, so full of horror and tension...and myth. It is a dark book and full of characters so I wasn't certain how well the narrator would manage it. WOW. He nailed it - from the falsetto of youth to the bored dilettante...so pleased he rendered the tale as I heard it in my head - that, the best compliment. Great performance, okay story, but too long I'm a big fan of Phil Gigante's readings, and he comes through strong in a story with many characters who can easily get muddled together. The weakness in this title, though, is a story that goes on about 100 pages more than necessary. I love a story with twists and turns, but this one seems to spiral instead. The novel could be broken into three separate narratives, and if each were told discrete and consistently, would support the others. But the way in which they are intermingled, they disrupt the narrative flow, without adding to any feeling of suspense or surprise. Not my favorite Peter Straub book I have enjoyed every book I have read by Peter Straub and I'll continue to read his books as long as he writes them but this is honestly not as good as his others. Ghost Story and Floating Dragon(how I wish there was an unabridged version available) are 2 of my favorite books and I was really looking forward to this one, but I was honestly disappointed with this. It's a great premise and it has some great moments but unlike his other books it never really gels together. I would still recommend it but it wouldn't be the book I would suggest to start with. That said I do have to say the performance was perfect and I would listen to any other books he reads. He has a great talent for the different voices, especially the antagonist, Coleman Collins. The character is an actor and plays many parts during the story but the reader can depict each of them differently but you can still tell it is the same person. A perfect performance. Horror Magic I revisited this novel after reading it years ago in high school. It's still as terrifying as I remembered it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Gateways-Audiobook/B00D6T0LCO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(New York Daily News) Members Reviews: One of the Best Repairman Jack books Would you listen to Gateways again? Why? Probably would listen to again if I didn't have anything new to listen to. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? This one had a good plot. Outcome somewhat predictable but getting there not so much. This goes into details about Jack's relationship with his father and just goes to show when you think you know someone (especially one's own parent) there are things you'll never know or may be very surprised to learn. Have you listened to any of Christopher Prices other performances before? How does this one compare? Christopher Price did a great job as usual. So Far My Favorite R.J. story I'm packing to move and have had Repairman Jack running on my iPad for over a week now, one after the other. So far this is, in my opinion, the best story of the first 7. Including The Early Years---this series has kept me interested and helped m not be bored while packing....Don't know what I'm going to do when I get to Book 15! Recommended, but it's best to read/listen in order. Keep them coming If you could sum up Gateways in three words, what would they be? A great "Hump Book: for this series. I am mid way through and thsi one livened up the score a bit What was one of the most memorable moments of Gateways? I accidentally wrote this on The Tomb review thinking of thsi book. The Dog and Alligator incident What does Christopher Price bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Christopher Price is an excellent narrator, I have given up on books that are supposed to be excellent due to poor narration so if I am already on the 8th book, that must say something. He has many talents which I have only seen in three narrators so far. This is over the course of 4 or 5 years now. I am not very forgiving with poor narration so Christopher Price is one of the best. His characters each have specific tones, accents or shall I say Identities, which make it easy to identify who is in play. I will look for books strictly for the narrator and hope they are my style..If the narratoer is so so, then what is the point of listening to the book. One of the best Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Jack and his Dad had a discussion and realized they really had more in common then ever assumed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Winter-Haunting-Audiobook/B012H69HMQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Summer of Night was a coming of age horror story involving a group young boys living in a small rural town who live through a horrific series of supernatural events during one summer of their lives. It was lengthy and nostalgic, but excellent. Winter Haunting is the story of Dale, one of the 11 yr. olds from that summer, who comes back home 40 years later to reconcile memories and face his demons. Winter Haunting is one of the rare sequels that is equals or surpasses the first novel.This second novel is more urgent, more compact, and more suspenseful. This horror novel is eerie and subtly spooky. I couldnt put it down. The narration by Bronson Pinchot was unique and outstanding. As Dale's character begins doubting his sanity and starts to mentally deteriorate, Pinchots voice also deteriorates and reflects the stress and overwhelming confusion Dale is experiencing. I cant believe I missed this novel when it came out, but am so glad I eventually found it. This is one great listen. Been waiting for this audiobook for YEARS What made the experience of listening to A Winter Haunting the most enjoyable? This great ghost story finally making it to audio form. Dan Simmons' best. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Winter Haunting? They all be spoilers Have you listened to any of Bronson Pinchots other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes - excellent as always Not as good as the first, but a solid 4 Where does A Winter Haunting rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's not a bad book, but it doesn't really stand out. Pieces of Summer Night come back to me at various times, but I doubt that will happen with this one. This book didn't make much of an impression. What does Bronson Pinchot bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Bronson does a very good job as a narrator. The only issues I had were the points where the story was taken over by another, more rambling, character. Bronson does a good job at conveying a rambling, verbose type of talker, but it can be distracting (reminded me of Fae in the Grimnoir Chronicles if you've listened to that). Any additional comments? It's a decent book. It certainly had the makings of a good ghost story and it did it well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Walk-Audiobook/B0085WERR2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive. Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He's prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do... that he must do: get home to his wife, Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley. All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it's not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. Aftershocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets. There's no power. No running water. No order. Marty Slack thinks he's prepared. He's wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be... if he can survive The Walk. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Lee Goldberg) Fri, 25 May 2012 13:02:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Walk-Audiobook/B0085WERR2 thebookvoice.com 06:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive. Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He's prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do... that he must do: get home to his wife, Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley. All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it's not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. Aftershocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets. There's no power. No running water. No order. Marty Slack thinks he's prepared. He's wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be... if he can survive The Walk. Members Reviews: I hate walking but liked this walk Would you consider the audio edition of The Walk to be better than the print version? Haven't seen the print version What other book might you compare The Walk to and why? This isn't a typical end of the world type book. It isn't a howto guide. It isn't a political statement. It doesn't involve zombies. So with books doing the rounds at the moment I haven't seen any to compare it to. What about Luke Danielss performance did you like? The way he made me feel as though the world/God/higher power/life was out to get him. The twist and turns as a result of that If you could take any character from The Walk out to dinner, who would it be and why? I take his wife because she sounds hot hehehe Unbearable Premise could have been great EOWAWKI read.... but "Buck" a main character uses 3-4 swear words in each sentence he utters, and his name rhymes with the most constant. There is a fixation on all forms of elimination, reproductive organs and if the female characters have a bra on or not. I was so surprised the writer of the Monk series would ruin a plot with so much needless crud... sure life has some swear words but this is ridiculous. Better books than this on same topic: One Second After, Alas Babylon, Jakarta Pandemic, The Road, 77 Days, The Stand, Patriots, Survivors, Swan Song, Earth Abides... I would sooner listen to The End or Lucifer's Hammer, both books I didn't really care for... this was the worst. Redeems itself in the end For a while I was not sure I was going to stay with this book to the end, it seemed hokey and the characters did not appeal to me, but there was enough action and interesting encounters to keep me involved. Then I actually turned a curve and began to like the book, and the ending is unique and I really liked how it turned out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Bones-of-the-Earth-Volume-1-Audiobook/B01A63G8QK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's been 200 years since the Trauma, a catastrophic event of a now forgotten origin, wreaked havoc upon the Earth, reducing the human population from billions to thousands and leaving the survivors as prey to humanoid hunters.

Members Reviews: Imaginative Adventure This imaginative book takes place a long time after the earth sustained The Trauma. This was a post apocalyptic tale, filled with tribal life and customs, spirit animals, witches, magic and conjuring, and mythical, fantastical creatures. Bones Of The Earth was populated with multi-faceted characters with unique, rich histories. My favorites were the strong women...Vrana, R'lyeh, Mara and Adelyn. I especially enjoyed the sister/friend relationship between Vrana and R'lyeh. Animals appeared throughout this story in normal and mutated forms. Could the mutations be from whatever disaster caused the apocalypse? The humanoids had intense connections to the animals living in their world. Vrana wore a genuine raven's skull as a mask, and had a very intuitive pet crow named Blix. Vrana's tribe considered themselves to be excavators and executioners. They believed that they had much to learn and many to kill. A gruesome life purpose, for sure. Vrana had many questions for her elders and leaders, who sent her away on quests. Should Vrana trust and believe her leaders? Vrana learned that lies, when told often enough, became more believable than the truth. An imaginative reading adventure. WOW Wow! That book was a crazy train ride. I liked it! I want to know more of what's going to happen in this creepy world. Vrana is your main character and she has to go through many trials in this book! The book is full of magic, fighting, and all kinds of strange things. It's gruesome, I consider it horror/fantasy/apocalyptic READ MY FULL REVIEWS: http://melissa413readsalot.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-bones-of-earth-by-scott-hale.html https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1345658118 Wonderful tale It took me forever to find out exactly what Vrana and her kind were and even now I'm still uncertain. Intricately woven story with unbelievable characters and creatures. I'm anxious for the next book to find out the real story of the octopus. I was totally mesmerized at points because of the numerous creatures and "people's" mentioned! There are some grammar errors, but they don't hurt the story. Good ideas, needs more work Shows promise, but reads as a somewhat slow, unpolished book. The ideas are engaging, and with a bit of work this could become a great author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Vines-Audiobook/B00O9FZUF2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Movie of the week caliber Formulaic, predictable and devoid of atmosphere. It was almost like Rice was ticking off plot elements on a shopping list and working them into the story so he could meet his quota. The premise was a bit strained, and due to the lack of character development needed to coax the characters into helping my suspend my disbelief, I never did find this one riveting or scary. The performance was good, given what the narrator had to work with. I'm giving the story two stars instead of just one because Rice knew enough to not make this into a 12 hour epic listen. It's a good thing it was short! Not what I expected Not at all what I expected cheeeseie Campy it made the drive easier. Very very Syfy Disappointing. Christopher Rice has been one of my favorite authors since high school, but I thought this book was so far from his previous work.. I wasn't crazy about the last book with the monsters, but the character stories were good at least, but super natural vines? Not a fan. Very creative supernatural story. A great supernatural who done it. The narration was also quite good and kept my attention to the end. Engaging Read....Mystical experience My very first read by Christopher Rice and I was very pleased. I enjoyed the intricate interplay between the characters and each chapter was a mystery waiting to be discovered. I will definitely read more from this fine author! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Town-of-Griswold-Audiobook/B01NBTS2OV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A great sequel to the others in the series! Can be done as a standalone but I would recommend them in order. Great sequel with the ending for more. Keeping it spooky! Poor Shane!! Here's me thinking that The Lighthouse was Shane's toughest job yet, but it's nothing compared to this!! Shane and his girlfriend decide to take a break by visiting an old New England town. They have heard the gossip, "The legend of Abel Latham" but decide to go see anyway. What starts out as a hike, soon becomes a matter of life and death! This has to be the absolute baddest ghost I've read so far!! Abel Latham enjoys torturing his victims and even keeps part of them in his "lair". He let's his victims go in the woods and then huts them down. When Shane comes to Griswald, he is confronted with the ghost of a boy and his dog. They explain who Abel is and that there is no escape. The town is not only home to Abel, but also to his many, many victims. Ron Ripley has never failed to deliver anything other than an incredibly scary and addicting read. This one is a lot bloodier, a lot messier, a lot scarier and a lot sadder than the previous two. Shane has to deal with an egotistical and insane ghostly serial killer, but also his two "best friends". I really thought that Shane wasn't going to come out on top this time, and truth be told, he doesn't, but I'm not going to say in what way because it's a spoiler ;) In all, this was such a scary read. It gave me plenty of chills and spooked me a lot. The plot was well done and well written and I devoured the book. I loved how the author made a reference to his other series too, (which I really need to catch up on because it seems like something major happened in it!!) . Anyway, a suspenseful, creepy, fast paced and exciting read, this series is a must read!! I can't wait to see what this author comes up with next. Again, Thom Bowers brings this book to life. He really brings the atmosphere and spookiness alive and knows how to tell the story properly. I highly recommend you check him out. *I received this for free but voluntarily reviewed it. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.* Ghost Town, Literally Another interesting and entertaining story featuring Shane Ryan, a retired marine who can communicate with the dead. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sparrow-Hill-Road-Audiobook/B00JVUA80W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She was killed in an accident in 1952 and since then has wandered the roads of this world and the spaces between. Sometimes she is helpful, sometimes she is not. But her world and the characters who inhabit her world paint and interesting picture of ghosts in America. While she does at time mention older creatures such as the Black Dog or Hellhound, most of the stories center around the American love of motor driven vehicles and the lore of the road. Interesting book that should appeal to those who love urban fantasy. Probably wouldn't particularly appeal to hard core paranormal romance fans though. If you have to have a HEA tread carefully, although there isn't a cliff hanger at the end of this book. It appears to be the first in a series. Narrator by Amy Landon. This is the first book by her I have listened to. She doesn't have the verve of Mary Robinette Kowal who reads the October Daye books, but she did keep me interested and entertained with no annoying mispronunciations or verbal tics. Compelling The Ghostly Hitchhiker is one of the most classic ghost stories of all time. It's certainly one of the first I heard as a kid. There's a lonely romance to the concept. Even though the story has seemingly endless variations, ultimately it stays the same, fixed as though trapped in amber. I'm never quite sure what brings me back to this kind of story, but whatever that unknown ingredient is, Seanan McGuire has tapped into it in a way that seems effortless. Following our Ghostly Hitchhiker, Rose, and her experiences on the ghost roads, this story is deceptively simple, beautifully written, and creeps into your heart and mind in a way that won't let go. There's an evanescence about it that haunts you, if you'll excuse the unintentional pun. At least, that's the effect it had on me. It's written as a series of encounters, like short stories, but similar to the interconnected webs of ghostly highway she walks, Rose's story becomes something far larger and more compelling than the sum of the parts. This book is not a horror story. It's neither gory nor gratuitous. If you're looking for that, shoot for Clive Barker. This is the other end of the ghostly spectrum that addresses the human side of things. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/What-Dreams-May-Come-Audiobook/B002V9ZEOK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 398 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: But even Heaven is not complete without Annie, and the divided soul mates will do anything to reach each other across the boundaries between life and death. When tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair. Critic Reviews: "One of the most important writers of the 20th century." (Ray Bradbury)"Matheson is one of the great names in American terror fiction." ( Philadelphia Inquirer) Members Reviews: Skip the book. See the film. One of those rare instances where the movie actually is better than the book. Way better. It retains the basic outline, salient points, and aesthetic details (not to mention adding a depth and beauty missing in the book) while dispensing with a lot of the arrogant, legalistic, and codependent baggage contained in the book. I will say that the narrator did a fine job, however I found the book to be a somewhat twisted and disturbing version of the film. If you don't like weak characters, pass on this If you have a low tolerance for weak and whiny characters, this might be a book to avoid. Chris is a man who has died but can't let go of his wife - however he can barely muster anywhere near the same determination about his four children. I am only slightly exaggerating by reporting that nearly every sentence for the first three quarters of the book is some variation of "I needed to see Anne" or "I needed to talk to Anne" or "I needed to help Anne". After his death he sets about disregarding the advice of EVERYONE in the afterlife who he asks advice from and attempts to reconnect with his wife. The narration doesn't help either - it's like a smarmy self help therapist and it grated on me the whole way through. It was an exercise of determination for me to persist through to the end and now that I have finished the wishy washy philosophical mashup of heaven, hell, reincarnation and eternal love of soul mates that is the ending to the story, I offer you one word to sum up this book - twaddle. Wildly unconventional afterlife views and abrasive concepts I bought this audiobook because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Wanting more details, and enjoying the story is much as I did, I assumed that the book would be along the same lines and just as enjoyable. Not only was the storyline completely different than The movie, the way that afterlife was depicted (especially at the end of the book) was completely different from traditional Christian views. That would not have necessarily been a problem, but I found the concepts portrayed in the book somewhat abrasive, and very strange. The two main characters in this story are soulmates, and go through four different lifetimes together, changing identity and relationships each time, one of which had them both as female, another as siblings (portraying incestual and gender ambiguities that give the story a confusing twist.) There is no God figure, no sense of justice, and no rules in the afterlife. The combination of all the above was so entirely different than the movie, that I completely lost interest in the story, and have no desire to keep it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Part-10-Audiobook/B01DE2BI6K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I'm still loving this series I am never disappointed with this book series I'm always entertain and in suspense, this book gets better and better as it goes with the dynamic of the cats changing which keeps me intrigued keep them coming R. R. Haywood ehhh getting expensive I loved this series but it's starting to get pretty expensive getting all these books 1 for each day of the story. there's really been no type of resolution or anything happening other than the same type of thing every book...find more bad people, kill more zombies, etc...some of the story line is getting ridiculous too. will this go on forever? for what I'm paying I should very at least 2-3 books for the price of 1 or in gonna stop buying them. I'd like to see some type of outcome with this whole apocalypse thing, he can't keep writing about the same stuff everyday. Excellent entertainment! As a blogger and a lover of books, this series is amazing!! The Undead is like that amazing little coffee shop you go to everyday because it has the best coffee and isn't some corporate machine. Unlike other zombie books, this book has a mild sense of humor, inserting comedy at just the right, rare moment. You wpuld be crazy NOT to try this book put! great book have heard all 10 books. it was well worth it. good stories and I like how it ended. I this series-no spoilers. I was unsure about this series when I first started, but it grew on me quickly and now I can't get enough. I end each book wanting more. I dread the day the series ends and I hope it won't be anytime soon. This particular book had some slow moments but overall it was a solid read. I can't wait to see what the next one has in store for us. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot-Audiobook/B00E1QJD5C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Typical Military Zombie Sci-Fi I don't have a whole lot say about this, it is a typical Military Zombie story, with a high body count. Some may not be happy with the Taliban connection, I make no judgement. I did not get this for free and I never do, cause I can not be trusted to be enthusiastic about everything I read. It's your money. WTF, Love the Series Where does Whiskey Tango Foxtrot rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This was my first audio book. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character in the book is Sergeant Brad Thompson. Sergeant Thompson finds himself in the worst possible position a soldier could find himself, alone in the desert with his convoy with no radio at the beginning of a zombie apocalypse. With no base camp he must lead his surviving unit through the desert to find other survivors. I love zombie novels that include a lead character with military experience. You just know these combat trained men and women just stand a better chance of making it. What about Eric Vincents performance did you like? Mr. Vincents narration flowed. I did read that one of the problems with audio books is that sometimes the voice will change, which could be an indication that there was a correction made in the tape editing. I heard none of that. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? WTF:FUBAR Any additional comments? I am a huge fan of W.J. Lundy and his WTF series. His third book in the series, Only the Dead Live Forever, is supposed to be out sometime in October (cant wait). This series is great because the books are so original and different from other zombie novels I have read. Mr. Lundys series contains everything that I like about the zombie genre. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to WTF and did so in one sitting. I really respect this author, not only does he serve our country he also donates a portion of the proceeds from his books to the Wounded Warrior Project. Mr. Lundy is a great writer, dedicated military man, and a super nice guy who truly appreciates his fans. Seat of the Pants Entertainment! If you could sum up Whiskey Tango Foxtrot in three words, what would they be? WHAT THE FOXTROT. This is a new twist on your standard zombie book. I really enjoyed it. What did you like best about this story? The realism, the way the soldiers come together to survive, Even the warring parties get against their differences to join a common fight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Funhouse-Audiobook/B00QZ9V0SQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Early, not so good, Koontz I like most of Koontz, but this book is far from the best of Koontz. I would have to review my reviews to see if there is any Koontz I liked less than this one. That said, it is still better than most in the genre (but that is not saying much). This is a new release to Audible, but an old Koontz book published back in 1980. He has some good early work, but there are a few early stinkers. This is one of those. Usually Koontz has great characters, a compelling story, some interesting surprises, a satisfying ending, and superior prose. All of these features are lacking in this one dimensional surprise-less story. Early in the book the outcome is foreshadowed, and then it happens, and then it is over. I was totally unsatisfied by the abrupt and uninteresting ending. Occasionally Koontz does a story with a simple good (God) vs. evil (Satan) plot, and this is one of those (which I find among his least compelling styles). This book has more frank and explicit sex and drugs then most Koontz so it might not be great for younger readers. I do a lot of Audible and have become, over the years, very forgiving regarding narration. I appreciate great narration, but if I can hear and understand the words, I am generally not distracted by poor narration. This was an exception, the weak characterizations, annoying whines, intoxicated drawls, and baked speech patterns were too much for me. This is one Koontz I would not recommend. I read this 35 years ago! 5 minutes into listening to this "new Dean Koontz novel" I realized I had read it before. Memorable, only because of how mediocre it was. With just a little digging, I found that this had been published under the name of "Owen West" (a Dean Koontz "pen name"...who knew?). Not so good the first time around. We should be warned when they dust off old works and try to pass them off as new. Not Koontz's best and bad narration I'm late in my love of Koontz. I've been devouring his books for just the last few months. It felt like discovering a diamond mine in my back yard. Phantoms, Lightning, and A Bad Place were all just amazing. So I was excited about a new release by him. Funhouse in not the quality of the other Koontzes I've listened to. The book started out strong. I loved the first couple chapters. It was creepy and I was instantly invested and excited for the ride. The two girl characters who were the main characters in the 2nd half of the book were annoying. They were young and dumb and uninteresting, so I didn't care what happened to them. The action and the bad guys were interesting. The development of the story was good. I believed in the "evilness" of the bad guy. He carried the story well. There was either too much editing, or the writing was lazy, because there were big details and big moments missing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Lawnmower-Man-and-Other-Stories-From-Night-Shift-Audiobook/B002UZMNEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Glover Steals the Show This is an odd collection of the leftovers from Night Shift, all of the stories either feature the mystical or criminal element. While the writing is top-notch John Glover is really the standout giving a versatile and dynamic performance across all the stories contained here. He actually might have more characters to work with and these five and the other two collections of Night Shift combined. the one complaint here is the music. Although absent from the other two collections of Night Shift except during the interludes the music here tends to arrive for the crescendo of each story sometimes more than that and remain through the end. While the music itself is actually quite good it sometimes overshadows Glover's voice making it difficult to hear. A great conclusion to Night Shift. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this, because these stories are truly terrifying. What other book might you compare The Lawnmower Man and Other Stories From Night Shift to and why? I would compare this to the other volumes in Night Shift. The other volumes have great stories, but they are not as scary. Which character as performed by John Glover was your favorite? I loved the lawn mower man. He is really creepy when he sets his lawn mower on the main character. I also thought the main character in the ledge was really well written. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? If you want to be really scared, just listen to the story the ledge. Enjoy the SK Classic Shorts Again in Audio! I loved these short stories when I was a teen and have had a wonderful time revisiting them again on audio! Great Narration! night shift Ok early King. stories in this batch have all been turned to movies or shorts in movie collections. All are better as stories for sure! Esp The Lawnmower Man! Where the hell did they get the movie that included retardation and virtual reality out of this short, short story? I really enjoyed the Lawnmower Man story here pretty strange and wonderful. the rest were just OK, including pretty decent performance of mangler with machine sounds and music. My favorite King Collection thus far This was my my favorite collection so far. The stories created a range of emotion...during lawnmower man I laughed and during quitters Inc I was on the edge of my seat. I love Stephen King, and this is a great collection for anyone whose just getting started with him and doesn't want to commit to a 1000 page book, but still satisfy the hard core fans. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Ruins-Audiobook/B06W526SNT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a continuation of the original series The Last Survivors. I highly recommend listening to that series first so you'll know more about these characters and the world they live in. The Last Survivors was my favorite series last year so I was very excited to see T.W. Piperbrook continue the series! So far, book 1 of The Ruins is just as good! I'm very happy to see Sean Runnette is still narrating this series. He does an excellent job with each of the characters. This book picks up right where the last series left off. Kirby, Bray, and William have left Brighton. They go looking for Kirby's old settlement only to encounter two new groups of people and more twisted men. I wonder which of these two groups is the true danger. Maybe both! Looking forward to book 2! Nice continuation from The Last Survivors Thanks TW Piperbrook for continuing the story :-) Thanks thanks thanks (8 more words were required XD) Great continuation. If you liked the original series you will like this. highly recommended. And as always Sean is the best narrator. Hurry up book 2 What made the experience of listening to The Ruins the most enjoyable? T.W. really makes you feel like you're right there with the characters, making plans with them What did you like best about this story? I love it when they describe the places they are at and I'm trying to figure out where they are at. Have you listened to any of Sean Runnettes other performances before? How does this one compare? yes. his voice brings the characters alive Any additional comments? loved it love the next chapter in the saga so exciting I would hope that if you are thinking about reading this book then you started with the last Survivor series. if that is the case then this next phase of the story is so extremely exciting and leaves you wanting more. I can't wait for book two. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Best-New-Horror-Audiobook/B002UZHZ7E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Disturbing and great! I actually listened to this audio book for the first time a few years back. At the time I didn't know who Joe Hill was and I didn't really listen to audiobooks. I accidentally downloaded from iTunes and fell in love with it immediately! It was so dark and creepy I loved it, I started doing audiobooks because of this book! After a year or so I lost it on my iTunes account, this happened to all the books I bought through iTunes actually (thank you Audible for existing!) but this story stayed with me for years after. Then I bought Horns by Joe and was pleasantly surprised when I found out he wrote Best new Horror too!!! I love all of Joe's books and have not been disappointed yet! This is a short story but a great one! I absolutely loved this story!!! This is true original horror at its best. Great background story on all the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-House-on-the-Borderland-Audiobook/B00D2WGZAM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One of the greatest stories I have ever heard Wow! Lovercraft and Ashton Smith take their hats off to this story with good reason. William Hope Hodgson describes ... I can't tell you. It would spoil your enjoyment. The narrator is superb Felbrigg Napolean Herriot. Truly enjoyed this book and will listen to it again and again as I get older. Poor Pepper! Good story, fair reading. Good, atmospheric story of cosmic horror. The reading, although clear, is largely uninflected and monotonous. Interesting but anitquated I can kind of understand why this was so important to so many writers. The cosmic, hallucinatory kind of horror was pretty much unexplored at the time, and so it was really breaking new ground. But the writing itself is very boring, and not at all cohesive. I don't understand why the narrator was selected for this either. The protagonist is meant to be an old man but the narrator sounds very young and effeminate, which is really jarring with the tone of the novel. Needs more swine Is there anything you would change about this book? More swine! I was really into the initial set-up where the main character is maybe going mad or maybe being attacked by swine creatures. But then the swine recede and there's never any real follow-up on them. What was most disappointing about William Hope Hodgsons story? The lack of any follow-up on his potential insanity. Is he off his rocker or is this William Shatner's Twilight Zone episode? We never really know. Any additional comments? This was a fine performance and I am sure fans of H.P. Lovecraft would want to read/hear this as it is so clearly an influence on his writing. For me, I was pulled in early but then got kind of bored. If you are going to read/listen, I recommend a dark and stormy night for full effect. Good narrator, funny, author smoked the good stuff... Overall, I'm glad I read this book. At times, story seemed to drag on, but was very interesting. Some creepy moments. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Books-of-Blood-Volume-3-Audiobook/B00G3IV3EU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It will keep you wondering what's going to happen This is the second book from Bart Hopkins that I have read and listened to the Audio version also. The first one is "Dead Ends". A combination of short stories which gives you the feel of having landed in the twilight-zone. "The Bends" is a supernatural thriller has an actual connection to the story "Recalculating" in Dead Ends. It is not necessary to have read "Recalculating" but it was fun to have that connection. You get some hints along the way but it will not become clear till near the end of the book. Seeing this book is named "The Bends: Kane Montgomery #1" I'm hoping to see a Kane Montgomery # 2 in the future. This book was narrated by Luke Daniels. He did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to listen to the story. This will keep you up, past your bedtime This will keep you up, past your bedtime not because it was scary but because I wanted to hear how it ends and not be bothered by a pesky thing like sleep. As you can tell I really enjoyed listening to this story, the narrator was really good and I think was perfect for this story. As for the actual story you found you really liked all the characters (well the goodies anyway) and you are just hoping everyone makes it to the end of the book and the three missing child are found safe and well. With a few twists and strange happenings you are kept guessing as to what was happening and what was going to happen. I hope this is just the start of a Kane Montgomery series, as I will be looking out for more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Sudden-Light-Audiobook/B00M9J1L8A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the summer of 1990, 14-year-old Trevor Riddell gets his first glimpse of Riddell House. Built from the spoils of a massive timber fortune, the legendary family mansion is constructed of giant, whole trees, and is set on a huge estate overlooking Puget Sound. Trevors bankrupt parents have begun a trial separation, and his father, Jones Riddell, has brought Trevor to Riddell House with a goal: to join forces with his sister, Serena, dispatch Grandpa Samuel - who is flickering in and out of dementia - to a graduated living facility, sell off the house and property for development into "tract housing for millionaires", divide up the profits, and live happily ever after. But Trevor soon discovers theres someone else living in Riddell House: a ghost with an agenda of his own. For while the land holds tremendous value, it is also burdened by the final wishes of the family patriarch, Elijah, who mandated it be allowed to return to untamed forestland as a penance for the millions of trees harvested over the decades by the Riddell Timber company. The ghost will not rest until Elijahs wish is fulfilled, and Trevors willingness to face the past holds the key to his familys future. A Sudden Light is a rich, atmospheric work that is at once a multigenerational family saga, a historical novel, a ghost story, and the story of a contemporary familys struggle to connect with each other. A tribute to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, it reflects Garth Steins outsized capacity for empathy and keen understanding of human motivation, and his rare ability to see the unseen: the universal threads that connect us all. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Garth Stein) Tue, 30 Sep 2014 00:54:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Sudden-Light-Audiobook/B00M9J1L8A thebookvoice.com 11:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not racing in the rain What did you like best about A Sudden Light? What did you like least? The story was a disappointment, but his writing is still marvelous. This was not my kind of story ang I longed for the connection I felt with the dog in Racing in the Rain. It is rare to make that connection so I should not expect it again. For those who like fantasy this will probably be an enjoyable read A Ghost of a Story It's October; who doesn't like a ghost story this time of year; Garth Stein has a pretty impressive track record (The Art of Racing in the Rain); lots of high ratings; fellow well-credentialed authors gave some enticing blurbs...if it sounds like I'm thinking aloud, I'm trying to figure out where I went wrong -- because this was the wrong book for me. I'm not sure whom this book is for. My biggest complaint, and one that is consistent when I'm duped, is that it is presented as one thing, "a ghost story," but is something very different, but what I'm not sure. It could be a message about conservation, a spiritual philosophy, a Puget Sound Broke Mountain (melodramatically, "the dark past of his forefathers"), but it's not a ghost story. The *ghost* element seems more an excuse, or a utilitarian connection to history; the ghosts themselves limp and (NPI) lifeless -- dancing in ballrooms, turning out the lights, writing messages through human Ouija boards. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Voice-of-the-Night-Audiobook/B002V0POY4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Chicago Sun-Times) Members Reviews: Another Koontz hit!! I have always found Dean Koontz to be an entertaining writer. He does not fail to entertain the reader and kept me wanting to read more in this novel once again. Although he stretches a couple of the scenes to be unbelievable, he recovers to keep me involved in the story and at times I had difficulty stopping to return at a later time. Horrible narrator The book wasn't so bad, but the narrator was agony! He read much too slow and too deliberately, sounded like he was reading a pre-school story to children...for 7 hours! Just terrible Did Dean Koontz really write this? Maybe the narrator had something to do with it, as it was like listening to 7 hours of Gilbert Gottfried. I wanted everyone to meet with a gruesome end. I just hated every character even the whiny main character who spent most of the time arguing with himself. But I really wanted to wring Roy's neck. Badly. Disappointing This was disappointing in 2 respects - first, it lacked the usual "Koontzian" flare (written in 1980); second, the narrator was annoying to me. If you're expecting a nailbiter, pass on this book. An unusual Koontz An unusual Koontz. The characters are teens, there is no supernatural intervention, and there is (in this case thankfully) no dog. The narration was very good, and the story was interesting. This kept me involved in the story, but it was not Koontz at his best. There is a lot of setup followed by a swift conclusion. It was missing some of the high tension character development that Koontz does so well. It is still better than most in the genre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Long-Ride-Home-Audiobook/B01FRG8B2U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I bought this introduction after buying the first book in the series at the $4.95 sale. But, it wasn't essential to the series. And the series' main first book should be in the romance category, not sci-fi/fantasy. Not continuing with the series, and might not finish the main first book of the series - the whole "shirtless-hot-sweaty-cowboy" romance thing isn't very sci-fi and there's just too much of that romance stuff in a juvenile young adult level of writing coming up in the main first book.

The title of the book makes it sound less serious than the book actually is...but Vaughn does a imaginative and thorough job describing the fictious werewolf culture and other paranormal subjects. Characters are well developed, and Kitty is really likeable. The mystery in the story is captivating. It is another great escape for readers in the Kitty series. Recommend reading in order to see the development of each character. Narrator is great. Best combination of story teller I have ever hear Carrie Vaughn's writing combined with Marguerite Gavin's reading have created the best combination of erotic love story I have heard in a long time. Marguerite Gavin's voice made me fall in love with Carrie Vaughn's character Kitty. This is the one of the best love story thus far in the series. There are time when the tension just drove me crazy. I developed a real antagonism toward the sherif and prosecutor. McCormick really seemed like a real person in this novel. I was glad to see his character develop. Ben added the sizzle. If you have read this book it is still a good buy just to here Marguerite Gavin read it. What a joy to listen to. Let us hope the fountain of inspiration continues to deliver copious amounts of the height standard of literature Carrie Vaughn has been producing. The stories are the best. Kitty holiday goes from cursed to worse I love the Kitty Norville books but I HATE the covers. They are everything the books arent: clichéd, wannabe-glamorous, vapidly sexual and totally unoriginal. If I wasnt reading the audiobook version, Id have to add a Dont judge me by my cover sticker to the front. Why do the publishers do this? Sigh. Underneath the cover is another good read in the Kitty Norville series about the werewolf host of The Midnight Hour the talk show that isnt afraid of the dark or the people who live there. Except, in this novel, Kitty is taking a break from her show so she can write an autobiography, hence the Kitty Takes A Holiday title. I like the way Carrie Vaughn adapts move titles for her books, its inclusive some how, inviting the reader to a peer-to-peer relationship based on a common culture. Or that could be nonsense that I make up when my over-used brain takes time off to write book reviews. Dont be mislead, this isnt a jolly jaunt to the seaside. Kittys holiday starts off feeling like a self-imposed exile that isolates her from her fans and the energy and focus her show gives her. Kitty is so bored by the countryside and so blocked in her writing that she ends up calling in to a newly established rival to The Midnight Hour and pretending to have a problem to discuss. Then things get worse: curses, corpses, and a creature with glowing red eyes and very evil intentions. Kitty Takes A Holiday is darker than its predecessors. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Torment-of-Rachel-Ames-Audiobook/B01ITRTU60 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The ending unfortunately felt like patchwork I made it through to the end because I needed to piece the story together. I was interested enough and needed the ending to help tie the story together. It fell apart for me about 3 -4 chapters near the end. Then there was an attempt to pull it together but sadly I was disappointed. I love a good psychological suspense /horror story but this fell a bit flat. You Are Now Entering..... So yeah, this would have made a perfect Twilight Zone episode (well, double episode). I've always loved this kind of mindbending, 'just sit back and enjoy the ride' story, but it's been so long since I've read (well, listened to) one, that it took me a while to recognize it. The Torment of Rachel Ames is an excellent production of a most excellent trip through psychosis, but if you need your t's crossed and i's dotted, don't bother. It is what it is. Ummm, before I go, just let me say that the story is extremely unpleasant and harrowing. It's the kind of story I would normally have returned unfinished. I suppose it's a testament to author Jeff Gunhus' mastery of storytelling that I not only finished it, but stayed up into the morning hours to do so. Excellent! 5 stars! Loved this story! It even made me cry! Not horror in a scary sense. This is a journey into tragedy, love, loss and the frailty of being human. A deeply disturbing delight I loved everything about this perfectly paced novella. I'd leave it at that, but a review requires at least fifteen words. Less a mystery and more like a Twilight Zone episode I found this book in the mystery section, and it was not at all what I expected. It was like a really disturbing episode of the Twilight Zone. I think the narration took away from the story also, sometimes I think she didn't correctly capture the feeling of Rachel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ghostly-Deceits-Audiobook/B01KWBLURS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I enjoy this series for the most part I enjoy this series for the most part. But got a little tired of the hopping into bed at the drop of a hat. It seems that Harper and Jared's relationship is based on sex. And then you throw Zander into the mix just hopping into bed with them is ridiculous. If I was Jared I would have said 'No Way'. No boyfriend would stand for that. And shouldn't. If I had a 'Zander' I would never allow him to climb into bed with me and a boyfriend. Really?. These people are adults for gosh sakes! And now I started book 3 with hopes that someone has grown up a little bit. Nope. Some high school boyfriend (10 yrs ago) shows up and tells Jared he's going to win Harper back. Sounds like High School to me. Tone down the 3 in the bed, it's ok he's my best friend. can't have a relationship without him part of the story. I like the ghost thing. but move things along. Give Harper and Jared something other than bubbles,soap and sex, to build a relationship on. OH! And Molly just needs to tell Eric off. LOL! Happy reading everybody! Repetitive once again. Too many repeated phrases. There is the constant I .... again. The author needs to stop doing that. It's very distracting and annoying. Also, she uses the expression "deadpanned" constantly. That is also very annoying. The last thing I didn't like is the nickname for Harper, Heart, that just is so amateurish. I could've come up with a better nickname than that. The author has some changes to make in her next book. It's getting very predictable and boring. Wonderful Mystery and Characters For mystery lovers it is the perfect vacation. A week in a mansion hotel located on a small island, with a murder mystery event to fill the time. Only Harper finds a ghost, and a real murder to solve. This murder was truly fascinating and heartbreaking. But I missed Harper's sidekick Zander, who only played a small part in this one as Harper was on holiday with her boyfriend. None-the-less it was a great story. Great installments! Love all the characters and the adventures that the Ghost Hunters come across. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Curse-of-Wendigo-Audiobook/B004DPJYEG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great book for fans of monster horror books I was delightfully surprised how good this book was. The scenario is set up well and the author did his homework on Wendigos and you really feel the fear and paranoia that the characters go through. I really liked the two main characters of the story and cared what happened to them. I would recommend that you read the first book but it is not necessary but it does give you a background on the characters so that it is easier to follow. excellence This is Book 2 of the Monstrumologist Series. It is fantastic. The narration is superior to most audiobooks. The story perfectly continues the series, the characters mature and new characters do not disappoint. Although this series is a dark one and it has plenty of violence and gore, it is incredibly interesting and a lot of fun to listen to. even better than the first book the way the book is written can be confusing at some points, but is also enjoyable as it expresses the conflict of The emotions of of the characters and the Supernatural fear and terror that they experience. overall the story is more enjoyable than the first one as it focuses Less on just killing the monsters but more on understanding the monster and its background and how it hunts and how the hunter feels and how the hunted feels. hooked oh my god I love this book just like the first one I was hooked from the very start, though this one wasn't as grotesque and having me dry heave like the first one did ((which is a good since I listen to these books at work lol Very fun series! Great narration! This was just as fun to listen to as the first one,if not even better. I will definitely be listening to the third! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Spookshow-Book-1-Audiobook/B0170OE838 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Frustrating The story isn't bad but it just stops. I realize it is a series but I expect each book to have a beginning, middle, and end even though the story will also continue. There was no resolution to anything. I feel cheated that I didn't get a whole story that left me wanting more. Instead it stopped like a chapter ending bit there isn't a next chapter. Definitely Youth Fiction This reminds me of the Goosebumps books I read as a kid. As an adult, I found it very hard to stay interested in this story. SPOOKTACULAR! What did you love best about The Spookshow, Book 1? This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I have this book on Kindle as well as an Audible. The story was engaging, the characters were developed well. What does Caitlin Gallogly bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I enjoyed Caitlin Gallogly's narration of Spookshow Book 1. Her voice was clear, animated, and pleasant to listen to. I did notice a couple of glitches...twice a sentence was repeated. I don't know if the original recording had been stopped and then repeated where it was left off. This did happen twice but seemed to be the only problem. Any additional comments? My only complaint about the story is that Books 1 and 2 seem to be reversed, that is--book 2 should be book 1 and vice versa. Story jumps to a "prequel." I have downloaded books 3 and 4 in this series but have not had the chance to start them yet. It is my hope that Book 3 will continue the story in Book 1. Other than that, I think it's a great story and am looking forward to continuing the series. I envision this as becoming a movie some day! I enjoyed listening to this well written story. the narrator was fabulous I loved it! the story was extremely intriguing! I'm glad I purchased this book! ehhhh... . it was just okay. I was very disappointed in where it ended. This should have just been the middle of the book. It felt like the author wrote a whole book, split it in half or maybe thirds, or maybe fourths and the published them as if each would be a whole book. I will not be buying the rest and risk paying multiple times for one book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Dark-Tower-IV-Wizard-and-Glass-Audiobook/B008A02YHY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Loved the flash back of Roland's first love, at first I didn't want to leave the present and the main characters of the series, but then I didn't want to leave Hambry and come back. Frank Muller gets 5 stars for narration! Tough going A good continuation of the story, if only because it is a continuation albeit split in two, but the extended flash back that took up the largest portion of the book was odd, unevenly paced, far too long and not really enjoyable as a story, especially compared to the last two books. There is of course some wonderful world building all over it and the rest of the book outside of the flash back make it an essential read for those insisting of getting into these books. Here's hoping the next one is better. Good Flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks flashbacks nothing but what I said Roland and Susan Another richly imagined world full of memorable characters that blur the boundaries between good and evil. This is the basis of all Stephen King stories. It makes you ponder the grey areas of ethical decisions and the hold that Ka seems to have on all of us. A must read for the whole of Roland's story. Everyone loves a flashback episode I really enjoyed this book, it tells an excellent story from the formative years in Roland's past without truly revealing as much as it brings up new questions. We really get the 'western' feel from this story, which blends beautifully with the medieval upbringing of Roland's childhood and immediate future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Bird-Eater-Audiobook/B00J33C4GI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Terrible Narration Would you try another book from Ania Ahlborn and/or Peter Berkrot? I will absolutely try another book by Ahlborn, but I will avoid this narrator at all costs. How could the performance have been better? I couldn't even listen to it--I read most of this book on my Kindle. The narrator felt the need to make every single sentence sound scary--save it for the scenes that actually require it! Terrible. Left a lot to be desired. Would you try another book from Ania Ahlborn and/or Peter Berkrot? Perhaps. This book wasn't bad by any means and would be willing to try another from the author (Ania). The narration wasn't bad, but it seemed forced - to be more creepy. He was also very breathy and once I picked up on his heavy intakes of breath, I couldn't un-hear it. What was most disappointing about Ania Ahlborns story? The fact that I was left questioning so much of what was going on with the story. I felt like no questions were answered. I assume this was to add a scare factor to the book, but it ended up just making it shallow and unbelievable. It lost all horror value because there was no real reason given to why what was going on was happening. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I didn't like how breathy and forced the narrator was. He sounded like a movie voice over for a trailer and it was hard to listen to. I liked the emphasis and pace that was read, I could easily understand what he was saying. What character would you cut from The Bird Eater? Hazel. She was very pointless and right when you think she might actually have something to offer to the story, she gets pointlessly cut from the story. Any additional comments? The book wasn't bad, I am not upset I listened to it. It just made me wish there was more explanation, such as, why did the child eat birds? Why was he in this home? What caused this family curse? Instead it was all just empty and then ongoing. It felt unfinished and not well thought out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lord-of-Misrule-Audiobook/B002V1LYOM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why or why not? Let me just start by saying that I'm hooked on the series and am going to keep going with it. This book wasn't terrible or anything; it was just sort of... eh. Rachel Caine is great at writing character-driven plot lines, but this book was mostly descriptions of action - them moving about town, going through dark tunnels etc. It was kind of boring, and a lot of it could have been cut out. It was also totally confusing, but that's possibly because I got bored and wasn't listening that carefully. I honestly couldn't tell you exactly how or why most of the stuff happened, and it doesn't really matter. All the books in the series end in cliff-hangers, so it's more like all the books are chapters in one giant book. This book was worse about that than most though, ending pretty much right in the middle of the story, right after a big event. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Annoyed that the book ended there. This really should've been part of a larger book. What about Cynthia Holloways performance did you like? She does a great job with everyone's voices and makes the characters come alive. This one was little slow. This one was a little slow for me and I found that the mind was wondering while listening to it. I hope that this is not an indication that the series is going down hill.. Great Read... Listen... Cynthia Holloway's voice is wonderful and the story flows so well. So much conflict! The time line is so close to the previous books that you feel like you never left Morganville. #6 In The Morganville Vampire Series Just a quick note to those of you who saw that this was a sequel to Glass Houses - it is indeed in the series, but it is book number 6. So if you were to go from Glass Houses to Lord of Misrule, there would indeed be much of the story history eluded to that would leave you frustrated and confused. Unfortunately, books 2, 3, 4 & 5 are not available through audible.com (or iTunes or Amazon or ANYWHERE for that matter), so my best advice would be to listen to Glass Houses and if it appeals to you, read the other four books in the series and then have Lord of Misrule read to you. I have actually enjoyed reading the series in that way - seeing what I notice and infer of the characters and sotries when I read the words myself as opposed to listening, and on the flip side seeing what my imagination conjurs when I listen to someone else read the story to me. As far as the actual story of the Morganville Vampire series - it is an appealing young adult (older young adult for sure) world, and the action is non-stop. The characters appealing and not one deminsonal. I am not a teenager (or even in my 20s) anymore, and I remember wishing that they would write more novels like this when I was. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Sinner-Audiobook/B01LZGQ9SA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is more of a ghost story and if it were a movie I would have watched part of it through my fingers, haha. I purchased this book on sale and it is the only book in the series that I have listened to. Admittedly, that is not the wisest on my part but I still enjoyed the book, the mystery, and who done it. Even though I liked this book and am glad that I listened, I doubt that I will listen to the other books iin the series. Shivers Any additional comments? More a "head" book, not so blood and guts. The narration is just right, and is Ms Hvam's usual superb job. This book is sneaky. It lures you along until you are suddenly checking the locks and wanting a warmer sweater. The people are people, not characters. You feel embarrassed with them and frightened with them, and want to check on their safety. One fault is Amelia's "too stupid to live" behavior in some instances. This series hooked me. I want to know why Devlin is such an ass, what's up with the mother and aunt, why Amelia is always is left out in the cold, what is with the family history and "gifts". Oh this book, and the series, is a tease for the next bit of information about Amelia. All that is outside the current mystery or investigation going on in each book. I will be reading this series and checking on anything else the author writes. Thrill Ride In The Sinner by Amanda Steven's the character Amelia finally has embraced who she is. I adore whom Amelia has grown into, despite her being extremely fearful in the last book. In this book she plunges head long into another supernaturally touched mystery. This book in total was a great listen and the author thrilled and chilled me, but at the same time left the scratching my head. The head scratching would reveal spoilers which I won't do. I felt the ending came out of left field. For those who love Devlin, he is absent from this book. I know it was hard on this reader too, but the author left Amelia high and dry and nursing a broken heart. The book starts about a year after the Devlin dump. Which was the most unemotional break up in history. As a reader I know how much Amelia love's Devlin but no real emotional reactions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Road-Rage-Audiobook/B002V8KT7S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice work Both stories are great. The collaboration between father and son was enjoyable and I liked their twist on the original story. This is worth a listen. I enjoyed the narrator in Heart Shaped Box and these stories. Fun Story The Matheson story is great! and it is read very well. The King story is OK, but works very well with the Matheson story. Not the best from either author, but not the worst Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I do not feel sorry for purchasing this book and listening to it, but I probably won't remember listening to it 3 years from now. Two forgettable stories by some great authors. Still, it was a good way to waste a couple of afternoons. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Performance was very good. Narrator got the tone of both stories just right. If this book were a movie would you go see it? "Duel" is the rare case where the movie was actually better than the book. But don't hold it against Matheson: it's hard to compete with young Steven Speilberg. No Doz for your Road Trip I downloaded a copy of "Road Rage" (2009) to listen to on a trip from Southern California to Arizona. If you want to make sure that you'll be hyper vigilant for semis and motorcycles, and in no danger of falling asleep on a long and lonely stretch of I-40 or 89A, this Audible will do it for you. "Road Rage" is a themed collection of two novellas. The first story is Richard Matheson's "Duel" (1971), which pits a salesman with an appointment to keep against an ancient tanker truck with a mysterious driver. The salesman duels across the desert with a tanker driver intent on killing him. When I Googled "Duel" to get the original publication date, I learned it had been adapted into a 1971 Emmy award winning television movie - directed by Steven Speilberg. I plan to find it on line and watch. "Throttle" (2012) by Stephen King and Joe Hill clearly was inspired by, and a tribute to Matheson's "Duel".

Members Reviews: Narrator was a computer? If you could sum up The Vampire With the Dragon Tattoo in three words, what would they be? Good, Captivating, Interesting What other book might you compare The Vampire With the Dragon Tattoo to and why? None yet. Did the narration match the pace of the story? He sounded like a computer reading. Not very many emotions. If you could rename The Vampire With the Dragon Tattoo, what would you call it? Why would I do that? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Books-of-Blood-Volume-4-Audiobook/B00HEP7Q7Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Vol 4 Another good collection of imaginative and utterly fantastic short stories from Barker. I especially love the last one the age of desire, very bizarre and horrific as all Barker fare but also ver y tragic and sad for its main protagonist Jerome. The rest are good too but this one stuck with me. one complaint for me in this and all books of blood, the English accented narrators are harder for me to listen cuz of there strong and sorry boring tones. I kno Barker is English and most stories are abroad from me in the US but the others with American accents are much better to me. series Would you consider the audio edition of The Books of Blood: Volume 4 to be better than the print version? I will not say much about this book as I've already reviewed others of this series. This is more of the same and if you like the others you will no doubt like this I did not find this to be as good as some of the others. Any additional comments? One of the best series of short stories ever. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/They-Thirst-Audiobook/B00FEJIRIY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are few writers that can keep me entertained for 19 hours. Off the top of my head they would be Robin Hobb, James Michener, Stephen King, Bryce Courtenay and Robert McCammon. He even dinks one of his earlier works in this book. I also appreciate getting this in one volume. This was written in 1981 and had it bee written today by another writer, he would have added 10 boring hours and made it a trilogy. See Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain, The Fall, The Night Eternal (a good series, just would have been better done in one long book.) The story is about Vampires and McCammon stays true to all the legends. Only instead of being dark and secret, they launch a campaign to take over the world, starting with Los Angeles. It is well done and will not bore you in any part. If you are a fan of Zombie books, give this a try, it is very similar. Ray Porter is by far one of the best narrators around. That being said I will say he only has one female voice. I also relate him so much to Joe Ledger, that it often takes me a few minutes to get my brain to forget Joe Ledger and get in the present story. McCammons Nudge & Wink Well, if vampires were going to take over I believe they would start in L.A. too! They Thirst is McCammons love letter to Dracula, Los Angeles, and now, looking at 30 years past, the 1980s I smiled every time a character needed to find a pay phone or turned up a transistor radio. I first read this book as a kid in the 80s growing up in Los Angeles. At the time this was sort of the cool kids antidote to the Twilight of the time (Interview With a Vampire) because it was current and used real and nudge-nudge, wink-wink -- fictional L.A. references. From Bela Lugosi to Elvira, Los Angeles has always had a special relationship with vampire mythology and storytelling, and McCammon plays this up to full effect in They Thirst. As an adult I can appreciate his tongue-in-cheek homage to Dracula, and his hat tip to Salems Lot too. He even throws in a couple of shout outs to two of his own earlier novels. Clearly, this is McCammon having fun with the storytelling, so its not one of his most polished and mature works. Some of the characters and plot twists are just monster movie over the top. And though it is a little on the long side for this type of story, you still just want to settle in with a big bowl of buttered popcorn and listen the afternoon away. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rosemarys-Baby-Audiobook/B002V8MAQQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Here Be Witches Mia Farrow does a fine job of narrating this novel, as well as putting her own spin on the various characters' voices. Her performance of Minnie Castevet is a highlight--she manages to make her sound simultaneously comical and frightening. Despite having seen the film many times, it was great fun to listen to this audiobook and to picture oneself in poor Rosemary's shoes: Is she suffering from a pregnancy-induced paranoia, or are these neighbors of hers part of a witch's coven? Well Written, Great Fun I liked this audio book. The narrator, who also starred in the movie, does a great job. The story is 70's horror fun. Well written. Story about a witches coven living in an apartment building and they want Rosemary's baby. You've probably seen the old movie but the book is much better. Spooky and a little weird and good listen!!!!!! Excellent reading of a classic This audiobook is even better than the movie and even more enjoyable for being read by Mia Farrow. Mia Farrow Breathes New Life Into Levin's Baby I used to give full credit for the wonder of the film version of Ira Levin's, "Rosemary's Baby," to Roman Polanski alone. Now having heard Mia Farrow's narration, I am , for the first time, able to really enjoy the book. Levin's book always seemed to me to be the barest of bones, and left me, like so many horror novels, feeling dissatisfied in the extreme. Well, my hat is off to Mia Farrow, who manages to bring enough of her Rosemary Woodhouse magic to give this thin volume much more excitement than I ever thought it could have. To me, it is like a different book; a book I now look forward to listening to again. I now actually feel quite enthusiastic about it. If you are considering downloading this, please do...don't bother with the print edition. Let Mia Farrow charm you and run away with your imagination. In my humble opinion, she elevates this to the highest level it will ever reach, off the screen. What a delight! Very well done The audio version is quite good. Narration is excellent.highly recommend it.the storyline keeps you riveted to each chapter.one of the best audio books I have heard . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ghost-Stories-Audiobook/B01MTV0X4I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a timeless short story collection you don't want to miss! Members Reviews: Chilling tales. Since these are short stories, it's hard to summarise them without spoiling something, so all I'll say is that this is 8 chilling and creepy tales. I've read a lot of Ron Ripley's books and always enjoyed them, and these are no different. Each is a little slice of creepy and scary and each is well written. Being short stories, there isn't much character development nor world building, but they are enjoyable little snippets into the authors mind. Good tales to tell around a camp fire!! :) Jack Nolan did a good job with the narration, his voice is easy to listen to and is clear, but I found the production quality to be a bit echoey. It felt like he was talking in a big empty room. *I received this as a gift, but voluntarily reviewed it. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.* Spooooky!!! Listening to scary stories is even better than reading scary stories! Like stories around the camp fire. Terrific! it was okay Would you try another book from Ron Ripley and/or Jack Nolan? yes What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I thought the stories ended too abruptly What about Jack Nolans performance did you like? pretty good narrator. Could you see Ghost Stories being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? no. the stories were too short Good read What did you love best about Ghost Stories? Good little collection of stories What did you like best about this story? Perfect book when you're short on time What does Jack Nolan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Jack has a great voice enjoyable stories I enjoyed the stories, and the darker aspects were interesting. I always love ghost stories, and am really enjoying everything I have read or listened to from this author. I did not however like the narrator for this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mile-81-Audiobook/B006P558KG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

At Mile 81 on the Maine turnpike is a boarded-up rest stop, a place where high-school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high-school kids have always gotten into. Its the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother, whos supposed to be looking out for him, heads off to the gravel pit to play paratroopers over the side. Pete, armed only with the magnifying glass he got for his 10th birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out. Not much later, a mud-covered station wagon (which is strange because there hadnt been any rain in New England for over a week) veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that says closed, no services. The drivers door opens, but nobody gets out. Doug Clayton, an insurance man from Bangor, is driving his Prius to a conference in Portland. On the backseat are his briefcase and suitcase and in the passenger bucket is a King James Bible, what Doug calls the ultimate insurance manual, but it isnt going to save Doug when he decides to be the Good Samaritan and help the guy in the broken down wagon. He pulls up behind it, puts on his four-ways, and then notices that the wagon has no plates. Ten minutes later, Julianne Vernon, pulling a horse trailer, spots the Prius and the wagon, and pulls over. Julianne finds Doug Claytons cracked cell phone near the wagon door - and gets too close herself. By the time Pete Simmons wakes up from his vodka nap, there are a half a dozen cars at the Mile 81 rest stop.

Members Reviews: For a couple of dollars, more get Bazaar The story is good. The story is typical King. I give it an A-. The thing is I bought it before I bought THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS. This is the first story in that collection. You can pay $7.24 or 1 credit or you spend one credit for Bazaar and get 19 other great stories. Seems like a no brainer to me. Nailed it! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I always recommend Stephen King to my friends. King, to me, is one of our most critically underrated American storytellers, even though he is a massive commercial success. What did you like best about this story? I've read a lot of King's body of work, but, I have come to get more and more excited with what he's written at this point in his life. Unlike some popular authors, he really seems to try to constantly improve his skills as an author and storyteller, always trying new ground rather than resting on his laurels. This was yet another crisp, well constructed short story by a short story master. Maybe what I liked best his how, in this short space, he surprised me. Without being specific as to spoil it for other readers, I'll just point out that you cannot take anything for granted. He'll pull the rug out from under your feet ... then do it again. And you can imagine him laughing at his keyboard while writing it. Which character ??? as performed by Edward Herrmann and Thomas Sadoski ??? was your favorite? Pete Simmons is the heart of the story. Not unlike Steven Spielberg, King does the perspective from a child's view very well. He never talks down to Pete, yet also does not idealize him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Nightmare-at-20000-Feet-Audiobook/B002VA8S7E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 259 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: One of the finest and most influential horror writers of the 20th century, Richard Matheson (I Am Legend, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Somewhere in Time) has left his stamp on the collective imagination. Here are more than 20 of Matheson's most memorable tales of fear and paranoia, personally selected by the author. Many of these stories have already entered into popular culture, including the title story, which became a landmark episode of The Twilight Zone, and "Duel", the nail-biting tale of man versus machine that inspired Steven Spielberg's first film. Other stories include "First Anniversary", "Dress of White Silk", "Witch War", "Dance of the Dead", "Mad House", "Prey", "Blood Son", "Crickets", "Wet Straw", "The Children of Noah", "Through Channels", "Old Haunts", "Disappearing Act", "The Holiday Man", "Legion of Plotters", "The Distributor", "Long Distance Call", "Slaughter House", and "The Likeness of Julie". Find out why Stephen King (who wrote the introduction) has called Matheson one of his favorite writers. Narrated by Paul Michael Garcia, Malcolm Hillgartner, Arte Johnson,Jay Karnes, Ray Porter, Lawrence Pressman, Yuri Rasovsky, Lorna Raver, Ned Schmidtke,Conrad John Schuck, and Christine Williams. Critic Reviews: "The well-known title tale about a nervous air traveler is a showcase for the author's trademark less-is-more prose style, which suspensefully delineates a psychological tug-of-war between man and a monster that may be purely imagined. Timeless in their simplicity, [Matheson's] stories are also relentless in their approach to basic fears."

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: An Excellent Collection I've listened to numerous short story horror collections through Audible and have to say that this is one of the finest. Unlike many other collections which tend to meander, wandering in and out of the horror genre, Mr Matheson's writing is pure terror; bold, original (even against contemporary authors) and, to quote Mr. King's introduction, 'unrelenting'. From the opening tale Matheson puts you on the edge of your seat and then never gives you a moments' rest! Well narrated, nice clear recording. Short and Terryfying I listened to this book mostly at work and on the bus and it kept me constantly entertained. The stories here are all by Matheson [the man behind I Am Legend] so they are well written and the narration is fantastic, emotive, and captivating. The stories range in length and scope covering most of the realms of horror. From ghosts to monsters within and without all fans of horror will find something to satisfy their most carnal cravings here! As an added bonus each of Matheson's tales can be enjoyed on many levels, each one with its own messages about life, humanity, and society. If you want entertaining classic horror fiction that is well written, well read, and engrossing pick this book up! Great collection - false advertising Great stories. I was happy to get turned on to Richard Matheson and wish I would have discovered him sooner. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Devil-in-Silver-Audiobook/B008YXB3ZG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a gem worth all the digging heavy, thoughtful. a pleasant surprise... not a "horror novel" though, horrifying at times. I truly enjoyed LaValle's prose. intriquing premise, so-so plotline Is there anything you would change about this book? Certainly it's a challenge to write a book that takes place in one setting alone. I got a little bored in there. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Premise is compelling - guy gets arrested and thrown into a mental hospital even though it seems everyone, himself, cops, doctors, knows he's not sick.The main conflict flatlines - man/beast patient terrorizes other patients. Did Victor LaValle do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Yes, very much so. It's an interesting story how he drew his characters, which LaValle speaks to in his acknowledgments and also talked about to Terry Gross on NPR. very good but drags on Any additional comments? I like the story and enjoyed Victor LaValle's reading of it, but I think further edititing would enhance it -- too long, slow moving in the latter 1/3rd of the story On Appreciation My expectations were entirely different: horror was the genre touted, yet it was a literary work. I loved it, I loved that it was, more than anything, character-driven. And characters they were, unique and alive. This is a novel that lets you consider your own circumstances in the world, that not-so-subtly reminds you to appreciate the aesthetics of the natural world and art. A novel well worth donating your time to. A suspenseful mystery, horror, thriller, drama Book Club Jaws, finding Dorry, Vincent Van Gogh, conspiracy Coffee and the devil in a bison wig. Crap. I have had an ARC of this one sitting on my shelf since 2012. For whatever reason, I could just never get to it. When I had the opportunity to pick up the audiobook, I figured I should pick it up and give it a go. Glad I did. Not what I was expecting at all and pleasantly surprised I liked it as much as I did. Not only can Victor write, but he narrates a good story as well. I really didnt know what I was getting into with this one. Didnt read anything about it. Didnt read any reviews or the synopsis. I honestly thought it was going to be a ghost story or haunted house tale. Again, I was pleasantly surprised. The story, while slow and meandering in spots, was quite refreshing and original. Victor LaValle can write. His characterizations are crazy good and his cast of characters were just plain crazy. A suspenseful mystery, horror, thriller, drama that is funny, heartbreaking, satirical, and very dark at times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lurk-Audiobook/B01NASDZF1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

You don't know whether to trust the narrator, if what he is saying is true/real. Listening to the book again would probably uncover some new nuances I may not have noticed before! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Definitely. You see Drew descend into his own mind, and are on the whole journey with him. Adam Vine very vividly depicts the kind of turmoil Drew goes through, and you just never know what is going to happen next! Which character as performed by Kevin Meyer was your favorite? Drew, probably. There was not too too much distinction between characters, especially the female ones. Kevin Meyer captured Drew's emotions pretty well, though. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Drew coming full circle at the end really shocked me! It was an unexpected surprise that really added to the creep factor. It also left me with so many questions, in a good way! By the end, you are not sure if you can even trust anything Drew says, which makes it all way creepier. Great debut novel! Lately I've been trying to listen to several new audiobooks, but I eventually gave up on them due to poor narration or uninteresting plots. Thankfully, this didn't happen with Lurk! I was hooked fairly early on and I enjoyed Drew's journey. It was nice to have the main character someone you may not necessarily like or enjoy, but his motivations and thought processes are well developed. The other core characters were also well written. Now as a horror novel, is it actually worth it? Well it definitely creeped me out/unnerved me a good number of times. The vivid descriptions help and as an audiobook I think it's even better. Kevin Meyer's creepy as hell laugh/chuckle (you'll know it when you listen) was fantastic for example. Though his range isn't broad (female characters weren't distinct) and sometimes it was hard to figure out which character was speaking, I still enjoyed the narration overall. I'm looking forward to see what Adam Vine writes next! new twist on horror! I enjoyed this book a lot ... Although... The narrator seems very prim and proper and middle-aged so it sounded a bit funny when he talked about smoking fat nasty blunts haha but I really did enjoy this book it was very creepy and cut my attention the whole time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Walters-Rifle-Audiobook/B077Z6KMHV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Stefan Korzh is still selling his mother and fathers haunted items and hoping they kill as many people as possible. In this edition, Victor and Jeremy have to retrieve a book and a rifle. Both the items are intent on killing!! The book is picked up by a young boy and the rifle by a man who has no problem killing with it! I loved book 1 of this and was hoping that this would be just as good, well it was, and it even surprised me by being better. I had a hard time putting this aside because I needed to see what would happen. The idea of a haunted book was super scary because it's such an innocuous item, and the fact that a young boy had it made it worse!! The plot surrounding the rifle was also scary. The man who had it was a psychopath, but when you add in the homicidal ghost, it made for hard reading. There is a part of the book where I was thrilled to read because we have a character crossover!!! Not going to say who, but I'm so happy to see him in this. I really hope he gets a few more cameos in the rest of the series. Jeremy and Victor are as awesome as always and we get to see a new character who has potential! Really looking forward to finding out more about him. In all, this was an amazing read. Creepy, scary, gripping and entertaining, this book is a must read. Ron Ripley sure knows how to write great reads. Highly recommend his books! Thom Bowers did an amazing job reading this. I think this is my favourite by him so far because he really brought the creepy atmosphere to life! I couldn't stop listening!!! I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. Another fine read Just when I think mr.Ripley must surely have written his best he turns out another fine read. His series are a delight once I start I can not stop . Mr.Ripley has become my favourite author.no matter what he turns out mystery horror ghost story with adventure all in one ! Walters rifle is a combination of the best of each storyline is good narration well done and I did do enjoy the read .i highly recommend his books .his work will keep you coming back. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Tide-Deadrise-Audiobook/B01LA6FP3O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Masque of the Red Death Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 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: William Roberts eerie, atmospheric performance brilliantly captures the shroud of death and decay that hangs over Poes phantasmagorical short story, which takes place in the castle of Prince Prospero as he and 1,000 of his nobles attempt to insulate themselves from a horrific plague, the titular Red Death, but who encounter a mysterious, foreboding figure during an opulent masquerade ball. Roberts stirring rendition of Poes classic Gothic tale will surely leave the listener with goose bumps in this riveting audiobook. 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."

Would you try another book from Edgar Allan Poe and/or William Roberts? Probably not. Would you recommend The Masque of the Red Death to your friends? Why or why not? No, unless you are a Poe fan then there is no reason to read this. Would you listen to another book narrated by William Roberts? Sure. Could you see The Masque of the Red Death being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? It probably has, but its too short to be anything other than a short tv episode, unless they take a lot of liberties. Any additional comments? It is interesting if you like Poe, if you don't then skip it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Snowblind-Audiobook/B00HHF81RK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Overwrought What would have made Snowblind better? While the story itself is interesting, the slang-heavy language just does not work. Characters react to everything that happens as if it is either the most dramatic event in history, or utterly mundane. There is also an unpleasant overuse of phrases like "Queen Bitch" that stick out and seem both unrealistic and somewhat misogynistic. What could Christopher Golden have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Golden needed to dial back the drama and add some actual character development. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Berkrot? Berkrot was just a terrible choice for this book, his particular reading style only served to emphasize the overwrought language. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I did find myself caring about the relationship between Ella and TJ, but that was about it. Enthralling Would you listen to Snowblind again? Why? YES! It is almost spring now, but next year in the middle of a blizzard I will be returning to this one. What did you like best about this story? The narrator did a great job. Have you listened to any of Peter Berkrots other performances before? How does this one compare? I've heard this voice before, can't remember on what book, does a great job always. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? SCARY! Scary... that I spent that much time on this book! This book just didn't do it for me. It came off more like a made-for-TV movie you'd see on the Lifetime network or something. I didn't find the story lines or situations to be especially suspenseful or scary. Relationships between the characters were stereotypical and trite. Too much of the book went on with the supernatural occurrences being treated as things that just happened, with no real exploration or back story. The narration was passable, although some male narrators just don't sound right when they are voicing female characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Vampires-in-the-Lemon-Grove-Audiobook/B00B4X2CNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Stylish modern magic realism I hadn't read anything by Karen Russell before (the mixed reviews of Swamplandia suggested an overhyped young author), but thought I'd check out this collection of short stories. The pieces all have the kind of whimsical-but-serious premises you'll recognize if you've ever opened a copy of McSweeneys or listened to a song by The Decemberists. A vampire in a state of ennui is hung up on behaving in stereotypical vampire ways, even though his vampire girlfriend has assured him it's not necessary to drink blood or fear the sun. Seagulls bring objects that alter the life of a teenager in 1970s Australia, and reflect his mixed admiration and jealousy towards his older brother. Girls in a 19th century Japanese mill are biochemically transformed into human silkworms, but later stage an unprecedented work stoppage. A massage therapist finds that her fingers can alter the memories -- and past -- of a young Iraq War veteran, but not without cost. President Rutherford Hayes is reincarnated as a horse, in a barn housing other former US presidents (or at least popular caricatures of them) who are now horses, and frets that his former wife may be a nearby sheep. Most pieces evoke a mood thats an enjoyable mix of absurd, wry, poignant, unsettling, and haunting. Russell has a gift for artful physical description and crafting voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Vampire-Audiobook/B003B2VYBI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Vampire's Closet) Members Reviews: Great to see Steakley back - and in good form Steakley's other major book, Armour, was always one of my favorites for it's gritty, relentless depiction of a man fighting his own terror as he fights an unknowable enemy. Vampire$ is almost two different books. For the first half, you have again this incredible relentlessness of enemy matched by a pace of action and writing that is just as relentless. The second half shifts character focus and is just as brutal but not as relentlessly active -- more classic vampire in and less reminiscent of Armour. I don't want to give the end away, other than to say I was about 80% suckered by it (in a good way). That too, reminded me of Armour. One thing I realized when I take this book together with what I remember from Armour -- is that that Mr. Steakley understands the fear a man feels when he fights his way through doing what he must no matter how much his brain screams that he should panic and run. I didn't understand that as well back when I read Armour, but I've since become a firefighter and I recognize that feeling (multiplied a thousand fold by Mr. Steakley in his books). Overall thoughts: 1. Thank you, Mr. Steakley, for giving us back brutal vampires that are truly evil -- a relief after the Laural K. Hamilton and Stephenie Meyer teenage softporn style. 2. All the good stuff you remember from Armour. The brutally relentless battles and the understanding of fear in a much more real and immediate way than even Stephen King can claim. 3. My one criticism is that I think this was two, or maybe three different books -- each an attempt to take on the genre from a different angle, that were merged to make a single novel. It was done fairly well, but the switch mid-way was noticeable. Champions Eternal I very muched enjoyed this John Steakley "Vampires Inc." story narrated by Tom Weiner. The other book "Armor" by the same author and same narrator is one of my all time favorite books and audio books, and Vampire$ brought back that same kind of excitement (perhaps only 90% as much as Armor, but 90% of best is still better than almost everything else). I was particularly grateful to John Steakley for bringing to life another incarnation of his Jack Crow and Felix characters. I view them much like the Champion Eternal characters of Michael Moorcock where Moorcock made several incarnations of the same anti-heroes (Elric, Corwin, Hawkmoon, etc.). Vampires is basically a new incarnation of the same wonderful anti-heroes that Armor had but in our world instead of the future. At first I thought, "Gosh this sounds a lot like John Carpenter's Vampires" but with much more character development. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Thin-Wall-Audiobook/B071ZBHQ7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vol. I of the Corona Heights Anthology Members Reviews: highly enjoyable I love horror books, and thrillers. I listen to them often. Some of then tend to blend in. Not to say that they are bad books, but they are the same storyline. This book was very refreshing. Not only was it good, but it had a new story line. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes this genre. and are horror and psychological thrillers fans. Anna did a fine job reading this book to me, and I would read anther book from E M Parker again, and listen to anther book read to me from Anna. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Very good psychological thriller Any additional comments? Very good psychological thriller with lots of supernatural elements. The characters are drawn out very well (I love Iris in particular) and the story moves along at a nice pace. It gets a little 'out there' towards the end, but Fiona's ongoing personal drama keeps the story grounded and it ends nicely. This was the first I've heard of E.M. Parker and his books. I hope there are more to come. I understand this is a series, so I am interested to see where it goes next. The narrator was good too. There were places where her emotion was evident and I could tell she was really getting into the story. That makes a difference, especially in a story like this. Loved this! Fiona Graves was arrested for drunk driving while having her son in the car. Her alcoholism was taking over her life and that was her lowest, so she entered rehab. Her husband got full custody of their son and moved. Now 2 years later and Fiona has moved closer to her son and found an apartment in Corona heights. Seems ideal because of where it's located and how cheap the rent is, but this apartment isn't all it seems and Fiona is experiencing some strange things. I loved this book!! Fiona is a deeply flawed character but is determined to change her life around. Alcohol has ruled her life but when she is caught with her son in the car while intoxicated, it was her lowest point. I admired the fight she put into staying sober and loved how good the author wrote those parts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Part-6-Audiobook/B016AVJ256 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

So far, this is my favorite book of the series and I have a read and listened to all of them out so far (just finished Nineteenth Day). I love the dog, Meredith, and her story which is told in the Part 6 . I also love Paco, the actor who stars in this Part. His transformation was fascinating, I grew to like him as much as Howie, Dave and the rest of the gang. This series is awesome. Haywood tells great stories and does a wonderful job at character development. I really cannot believe that a publisher has not snapped up this series. It keeps me riveted. Also I must say that the reader, Dan Morgan, does an excellent job with this series. He is an asset for Haywood's books. The characters come alive with Morgan's reading. You can tell who is talking in the book from Morgan's "acting" out their voices. Really cool!! LOVE this series! !! I have listened to all multiple times. There is a personalization to it that I enjoy. Superb The book is wonderfully written, creating intense drama, but with releases of levity at just the right places. The author creates marvelous characters that interact realistically amongst each other. He introduces new characters in parallel storylines; not really parallel but more like storylines that seem far apart, but grow closer until the lines intersect in an inevitable conclusion. Rarely do I choke up and my eyes leak while reading/listening to a book, but they did in this one. I've come to the conclusion that the reader of this series is the best I've heard of any audible books I've ever "read". His characters are wonderfully distinct so that he could narrate without identifying them, and I would know which one is speaking. He creates the intensity of scenes nicely with inflection and speed of reading. The book is written well, and he reads it masterfully. Best one yet I hated the Darren story line in the last book and would skip by all his parts, true confessions :). Loved all the new characters introduced in this volume! Excellent installment! A Dogs life Any additional comments? There has never been something so engaging as life through a dogs eyes. I am so happy that RR Hayward took the risk to narrate from the K-9s perspective. This is a must listen to. Now the story of Action Jack.. thats another thing entirely, lol, but a wonderful arc in and of itself https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Part-5-Audiobook/B00YN9PJI2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Endied disappointedly While I've enjoyed all 5 books in the series. I felt shirt changed with this book. It didn't cover enough ground. Sad Love this series! I really love this zombie series and the narrator makes it come alive! Some parts are a bit predictable but most books like this are. Good series! Part 5 The Undead series is a great listen. it's funny and serious at the same time. My biggest issue with this series is that the books are too short. All of these parts to buy are going to make me stop buying them soon and I don't want that to happen! Council Estate? Any additional comments? Starting to depart from the sphere of Howey and team, I didn't know at first how I'd enjoy it. However the drama and great story that unfolds with the youth is quite engaging. without spoilers, there's a part you want to yell at the youths to grow up and see Howey and crew for what they are! I hope we return to this camp and see what has become of their dream, what I am deeming "camp lord of flies" great!!! excellent plot, excellent narration. interesting and unique humor. definitely a unique new perspective on the zombie apocalypse https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Darkest-Journey-Audiobook/B01K8JXAKY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not Your Classic Stephen King The thing I like about Stephen King's short stories is that they never fail to satisfy that craving for a good yarn. Sure, they are sometimes scary beyond all rhyme or reason, but more often than not, they are just great listening. In the Man in the Black Suit, King creates a central character that is both sympathetic and believable, and a villain so dark you tremble. But the narration and the storytelling are so good, you almost (emphasis on almost) forget to be scared. There is a story about John Dillinger that is about the best short story I've ever heard, and in Everything You Love Will Be Carried Away, King leaves you spellbound and wondering, and laughing for hours at all the collected bathroom humor built into the story. In "That Feeling You Can Only Say in French," you get the feeling you're watching an old Twilight Zone re-run, or maybe an old episode of Star Trek. You keep hoping the characters will recognize what you see so clearly. King is gifted in letting you see clearly what the characters cannot see, and in making you want them to see it. This is a great collection of stories and one not to be missed. Uneven but enjoyable Not every story included here is stellar, but those that stood out were exceptionally suspenseful and well-crafted. Well worth the listen, but I couldn't give it 5 stars given some weaker material. Classic Stephen King shorts! I give it a resounding Meh. Not the best work from Sai King. The titular story being the only one with a real scare factor to it, it wasn't that scary. The real gem was the story "The Death of Jack Hamilton." It was full of heart and imagery that even card carrying member of the uncle Stevie fan club like me can forget this man is capable of. If anyone wonders if King is more than a contemporary horror writer, have them read this or any of his other little gems like "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" and they will know. Perhaps it isn't his best work, but it is not bad at all. Long live the King! Fabulously Frightening This is a must have for your library. Buy it for your family and friends. Classic Short Story writing by King....but.... This was classic King but "The Man In The Black Suite" was by far the best, not even close. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Silence-of-the-Lambs-Audiobook/B002UZN25S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I wish this was the complete book, not an abridgement that attempts to mirror the movie (which is why I only gave it four stars). That being said, Kathy Bates is FANTASTIC. This was a very enjoyable listen that was over far too soon. A superb story. Very satisfyingly creepy. Also, not quite as gory as I was expecting for such a groundbreakingly gruesome story. Probably just a sign of the times. Everything to follow has had to struggle to be bigger and badder. Still, excellent. Kathy Bates' one-woman-show is a vibrant gallery of American accents, always human and believable. Please identify abridged books better... ...or better yet, don't offer them. It's frustrating when you purchase a book get half way through it and realize you really only got part of it. The famous "Silence" reading by Kathy Bates Yes, it's abridged, but it is well abridged: the plot does not suffer. This is the reading of "Silence of the Lambs" mentioned by Stephen King in his book "Rose Madder," as an all-time revered best by an audiobook producer who "discovers" our heroine and her beautiful voice in a pawnshop. This leads to a respectable job and profitable career for our "Rose Madder" protag, and the reader is grateful for it. In that Audible audiobook, well worth a listen, Stephen King himself reads the part of Norman, the rogue cop, and does a good job. Kathy Bates does have a beautiful voice and she does read well. Problem for me: she tries to do Hannibal Lector the way Anthony Hopkins did ----- but only Hopkins can be Hopkins. She does Jodie Foster quite convincingly, however. I was satisfied enough that I did buy her reading of King's "Desperation." Disappointed I mainly bought this version because of Kathy Bates. I did not pay attention to the fact that it was the abridged edition. Make sure if you purchase this book that you get the unabridged edition.

Members Reviews: Scary but explicitly gruesome I liked this book better than I expected--really held my attention, super suspenseful and creepy. A warning to some that it gets pretty detailed in some gory/gruesome scenes. A great choice!! Based on some of the story points in the summary, I decided to give it a try. I admit "debut novel" and "80's style horror" worried me that it might be weak or cheesy and I shouldn't get my hopes up too much. But honestly, it was an absolutely great listen in story and narration. The characters and pace were wonderful. I never became bored. The setting, an abandoned location, which caught my attention in the first place, was perfect! In that respect, "The Eaton" most definitely exceeded my hopes and expectations. The narrator proved to be very very talented and at one point was able to send shivers through me when voicing the character of a demented old woman. This book was a perfect story to curl up for a good old can't-put-it-down horror. My only regret is that I can't "un-read" it to be able dive back in and start it over totally fresh. Great beginning and story idea What made the experience of listening to The Eaton the most enjoyable? I loved the narration and performance!! Any additional comments? I loved the beginning, the set up, the plot itself. But then, over the course of listening, I really had to push myself to finish the listening... it got very bloody and gruesome... I know that the gruesome is part of the story, but after that great beginning I was hoping for a continued run of the idea, and where it might take us... Instead very soon you get an idea how it will end, what the only possible ending can be... There sure is a twist to the story, so I will leave it at that, so to not spoil it dor anyone, but - I was hoping for more after that great start. Original and addictive I almost stopped listening after first five gory minutes, I am very glad I stuck with it because this is one of the most original and electrifying thrillers I've ever read. Sort of like The Shining meets the Poseidon Adventure. Fantastic, made time fly I was so absorbed! I didn't expect much, but WOW was I surprised! I don't usually write reviews, , but I felt that this book needed one because it was such an unexpected surprise. I really didn't expect much going into this book (I'd never heard of this author) however, it turned out to be an excellent Horror/Thriller novel. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good scary story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Tales-from-Beyond-the-Pale-Season-4-Audiobook/B0788S54V9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: EXPLODING COW TOM, DICK AND ZOMBIE The book has three story lines. Howie, his sister and THE INFECTION. IT WATCHES AND IT LEARNS. I like the fact that Howie is a grocery store manager (Just like the characters in Once Bitten, by Christopher Moore) Dave was hilarious in Part one, but it is already getting old. I like that the characters admit they like killing. I did get tired of the constant shoot-em ups with very little new or different. The sister was okay, but nothing spectacular. What kept me listening was THE INFECTION. It develops a personality and has a mind of it's own. The last chapter was real, real good. It is a shame we could have not had more of that in the whole story. Koontz, King, Battles and others can give you surprise after surprise. Haywood was only good for one and that was his cliff hanger. Zombie Lite This could also be considered Young Adult. The young British keep a stiff upper lip and don't seem to get too emotional, when they do it seems put on. Your eight year old can read this and not get nightmares. All the characters are likeable. This is not for the series hard core Zombie fan. My Campaign This has nothing to do with the review. I am starting a campaign to get Horror as a major category. Almost everyday a new Zombie book comes out and their are many of us that love Zombies. They might be under Fiction/Horror or Sci-Fi/Contemporary or Mystery Thriller/Suspense. I would like to be able to browse Horror/Apocalyptic and Zombie to find all these books. When I want extreme gory, bloody, horror, I want to be able to go to Horror/Extreme. When I want a short story or anthology of horror, I should be able to go to Horror/Short Story and Anthology. Other subs could be classic, paranormal, etc... If you agree would you please e-mail audible. Would you also put out a request at the end of your reviews? Thank you. Spread the Word. You have got to be kidding me. What did you like best about The Undead: Part 2? What did you like least? Spoiler alert. The group goes out and fights hundreds of zombies at a time with hand weapons. They get totally drenched in blood every time. Yet a single microscopic drop of spittle from a zombie infects one of them. I know, its a zombie book, go with the flow. Would you ever listen to anything by R. R. Haywood again? Possible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Best-Horror-of-the-Year-Volume-Five-Audiobook/B00TKWPPAY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Largely forgettable I didn't enjoy this like I thought I would. None of the shorts were horrifying. Many were what I considered ok but I want more from my reads than just ok. A good handful were senseless and left me asking "why?". Not one I will listen to again. good example of a narrator making all the diff Any additional comments? Very interesting stories by some of the best writers in horror fiction. These stories were made even more wonderful by the narrator. He is PHENOMENAL. I cannot compliment him enough. There were some fabulous stories here and then there were some okay stories that Mr. May's narration made fabulous. Okay, I'll stop gushing over the narrator now and say a little something about the stories.... I found about 95% of them to be really really good. Obviously, a few really stood out, like "Little America" and "The House on Ashley Ave." (of which I could have read more of - I hope the author is going to write a novel about the very interesting Meerfield Group). There were 2 or 3 stinkers, but overall this anthology is well worth the money. If the title is optional why can't I submit :P Not exactly what I would call horror stories (there were a few), a lot of the stories are just really "bummer" situations. Best pass this one by This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I can't imagine anyone who might actually enjoy this entire collection. There are a couple stories that rise above the rest, but even those aren't outstanding. Any additional comments? I simply cannot imagine that these stories represent the best of any year. Some are simply poorly written. Others suggest that the author didn't understand the concept of the short story. This is NOT a book of horror stories Has The Best Horror of the Year Volume Five turned you off from other books in this genre? Not this genre but definately this series. Any additional comments? The majority of stories in this book might fit the suspense genre but the only way this would fit in the horror category is ironically. The stories were bland and I frequently had to check to see if I had finished one and started another they were quite boring and I didn't even bother finishing the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Blood-and-Smoke-Audiobook/B002UZKRK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Smokers Beware Stephen King always suprises you. If you enjoy reading something besides the standard "Scary Carrie" stories, try this collection which represents an amalgam of short works on the theme of smoking. Not only will you enjoy the stories, you'll probably find ample reason to quit smoking after doing so. Great 1408 is one of the best audio ghost stories you'll ever hear. Perfect for cross country drive at night. Enjoying Stephen King again I have no time to read. I have two kids and a full time job so this is perfect. Getting used to Stephen's voice takes a little time, but if you have seen him on tv or in person talking its much easier to get used to it. As for his reading, its just great. People have said that hes one tone or boring, well he is a professional writer and this is not his usual gig. I look at this as a gift of sorts and we could have done much worse than this. I've downloaded all of his books that he reads and I'm glad I did. You never know when a treasure like this will be gone for good. Great stories! While not the best narrator, the author actually gives an admirable performance, so don't let that put you off. Suspenseful, well-written, and solid delivery. Classic King. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Death-Wish-Audiobook/B01M0RMK7Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This series has taken a little more serious turn with the last two installments, which I enjoy as I don't want my heroine too easy breezy. The story line stalled a little during this book, but the ending easily made up for it. Making an enemy out of Death should make for great stories to come! ENJOYABLE. GOOD CONTINUATION TO SERIES. Interesting and exciting. The plot is good and I am glad Lana ground her mate. Unexpected turn of events and the beginning of who are the villains and who are the heroes are getting clearer.

(A) Fascinating, Unique Apocalypse Who was your favorite character and why? Rick Bastion, he starts out low and has a chance at redemption Which character as performed by Nigel Patterson was your favorite? I like them all, his tone and mannerisms are always spot on, they really add a lot of emphasis and emotion to Wright's novels! And he's virtually mistake free (unlike all too many other narrators on this site) Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Don't want to give anything away, but rest assured there is more than one gut wrenching moment Any additional comments? Iain Rob Wright is one of my favorite newer horror writers and Nigel Patterson does an awesome job narrating his books. It's a great pairing of talent. If you want a fresh voice in the horror scene, then look no further, Wright has you covered. Check out his back catalogue too, I especially recommended Housemates and ASBO! Story was just OK This audiobook was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to this story for free. I have enjoyed many books by IRW. I thoroughly enjoyed Nigel Patterson as the narrator. He has a large variety of voices and accents that really enhance the story. It is the story that is just OK. It wasn't really anything new or edge of your seat exciting. It is easy to stop listening and pick up days later. I prefer to be gripped at the beginning and sucked into a story. This didn't happen. I didn't particularly like the ending either. I realize it's hard to write something extremely unique that has never been done before, therefore, it wasn't bad, just not great. Great story but ended quickly I really enjoyed this book, my only complaint is it was too short, it felt almost like an abridged copy. Nonetheless, the story was excellent, narration spot on and not too overdone. I'm hoping there's a sequel The Gates Any additional comments? I've read and listened to a few apocalyptic novels and this is one of the freshest ideas I've seen. I hope there is a sequel to this story Thoroughly enjoyable! When strange black stones appear all over the word, nobody knows what to make of them or how they came to be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Part-3-Audiobook/B00TP7Y3NY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great zombie book Well worth finishing each book in the series over a weekend was a delight. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good zombie series. Can't wait for the next one! Another great installment in this unique series. Haywood does a very good job mixing the gravity of the story with some light-hearted humor. I especially like the "hive-mind" persona of the infection. It gives a fresh spin on the zombie genre and sets it apart from other series. Think I've Had Enough I never thought I would say that about a zombie apocalypse story. But this third book in the series, for me, was pretty terrible. I really enjoyed the first two, so I eagerly bought and listened to this one. So many elements not to like: The cardboard manly men with their "fear the homosexual" banter. I mean here they are, fighting off hated zombies and the worst thing they could say to one another is that they are gay. I did not find that endearing or funny, no matter how realistic it might be for manly military men to engage in. But they blush at the slightest provocation, those being close proximity to a woman or a compliment. And they sure do love one another anyway. I mean, they'll lay down their lives for one another, but god forbid they are gay! The constant, never-ending blowing up of zombies. I know there are hoards, but how many ways and times can one describe heads and brains blowing up? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy zombie gore, but this was so repetitive as to be numbing. And the whole thing with Howie talking to his angry inner self and then yelling the lord's prayer at the zombie hoard. Sigh. And TMI about all that weaponry. I got it. They have guns. They have explosives. Do we really need descriptions of how they work? Again and again? And don't get me started on the infection scenario. A big disappointment and the series stops here for me. I hope Howie and Dave win, but not sure I care. funny and entertaining very entertaining book. it actually makes my sometimes hour long commute enjoyable. I was super bummed when I finished the book in the middle of my drive and hadn't yet downloaded book 4. On the edge of my seat.... What did you love best about The Undead: Part 3? I've listened to the first 2 books and they were good, without a doubt. However, I like this book for different reasons. Book 3 is more about the battle within oneself. Howie is battling with what's right and what's wrong. What feels right and what ...I guess, feels wrong. By the end of this book, he finds his strength. The true strength that powers one even when he's on his last breath. Any additional comments? If you've started the series, keep going. It can only get better .....I think... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Purge-of-Babylon-A-Novel-of-Survival-Audiobook/B00O5GEVQY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I hate to say this but I didn't finish this book and I returned it. I stopped reading about 3/4 through during the 3rd unnecessary sex scene. This is a relatively entertaining novel of you like crude humor and detailed unrealistic sex thrown in just for filler. This is a simile idea to the books written by Mark Tufo, except his books are hilarious, relevant, and entertaining. If you like the post apocalyptic zombie stuff you will be better off with Mark Tufo or Ted Dekker if you don't want zombies. Dead, Not Stupid What disappointed you about The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival? First, let's address the narrator. He read a book. It's as simple as that. He just opened the book and read it. A good narrator tells a story. You get lost in the story, the fluctuation of voices, the rise and drop of excitement, sorrow, etc. This guy....he just read a book. Listen to the sample and you'll know what I mean. Now try listening to that for over 14 hours. It was a true struggle. Second, the book was such a disappointment. It started out with promise, but got too repetitive and cliche quickly. The men were male chauvinists and the women were just written into the book for the men to have someone to have sex with and make inappropriate comments about in private (and often right to their faces, which they just laughed off.) There was no character development and a lot of scenes never ended before a new one began. Third.....there were a few phrases, like "dead, not stupid" that were repeated an annoying amount of times. No exaggeration, this particular phrase was probably mentioned 100 times. Combine that with the annoying narration, doesn't make for an enjoyable book. I will not continue this series. I would like to have quit this book, but since I paid for it, I felt I had to finish......ya know, to get my money's worth. What do you think your next listen will be? I've already started listening to The 5th Wave. Would you be willing to try another one of Adam Danoffs performances? Noooooooooooo! What character would you cut from The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival?

That being said, this book should have been titled "White Flag of the Author: The Fall of the Thesaurus". The plot was cookie-cutter. The characters were so shallow that it seemed the even other characters didn't care who lived or who died, much less the author or this reader. The author pretty much wrote a checklist of stuff he's read in other books, and chucked them into chapters with no buildup or continence. For example, a supporting character is killed. The protagonist is devastated in one sentence, then joking around in the very next. The character backgrounds (what little was given) were predictable and the big showdown was so cheesy I think an 11 year old actually wrote it. The writing itself was horrible as well. Sentences like "Chad and I were up planning and came up with a plan" litter the book. I lost count at how many times the same word was used twice in a dialogue sentence. The narrative was filled with a lot of "I can't be bothered to write details" stuff like "[Some character] and I walked to the [place]. We didn't talk because we were each lost in our own thoughts." "We gathered such things as we could find, and such". The few times the author broke out his thesaurus were completely awkward to the story as well. The protagonist suddenly starts narrating with metaphor and thought provoking prose in the middle of a wrestling match with zombie, for instance. Then relapses back into Neanderthal-speak once the action is over. All in all, the book was horrible. good Ole zombie fiction a great listen nothing special about the story it follows the tried and true last guy standing gathers followers exacts revenge and makes people's life safe, is it boring? not at all if your going to stick to the formula make you character lockable and that's what the author has done. the narrator is great and really fits the hero. overall it is worth your zombie fix. Great read Great book great ending if you're a fan of mark tufo's zombie series youll like this as well can't wait till next credit!!!! good book ..different characters different voices ...I recommend it ..if zombie fan based book ! Awesomesause Love a great book that takes my mind off of work, I go a little crazy when I hear someone refer to a gun magazine as a clip might want to learn more about either before misusing the terms as if they were interchangeable.

Members Reviews: If you are a fan of Anthology books, don't be afraid to check this one out! I love horror stories and anthology books in general. I have checked out a couple of these The Best Horror Of The Year and they are mixed bags. Some stories are slow burners and there are a few great ones scattered about. The narration is always pretty good! Don't be afraid to check these out. If you do you might miss out on really good stuff!! Top stories for me: My boy builds coffins Lord of the sand Decent Black dog (Neil Giaman) Snow Universal Monsters Indian Giver Best Horror.... Not so much.... Any additional comments? To title a novel as "Best Horror of the Year" sets a very high standard. A significant point was that each of the stories and their respective narrations deviated in quality, from mediocre to disappointing. None were particularly fear or terror invoking. One scary story out of a dozen I bought this for an 1800 mile road trip. Out of a dozen so far, I've only found one story amusing or even slightly scary. The narration on almost every story has been full and drab and is making me fall asleep while driving. These can't possibly be the best of the year There were only a couple of stories that I actually enjoyed. The rest were boring, had no point, or had bad endings. don't do it! Lame! just lame. hoped the stories would get better. they did not! not scary at all https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Frankenstein-in-Baghdad-Audiobook/B078JX49SR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kevin Powers, bestselling author and National Book Award finalist for The Yellow Birds) Members Reviews: incisive, heartbreaking and occasionally shocking the story presents a narrative that brings the horrors (on two levels) I will admit that the premise of this book was what grabbed me: mostly because of the imagery brought forward by the synopsis and the intrigue of seeing the Iraq war from the perspective of an Iraqi, and seeing a narrative not usually available to the west. Saadawi has brought this story forward on two levels â the story of the survivors in a war-torn country that is still experiencing upheaval and the horror / fantasy of a created being brought forth to bring interest and attention to the fate of those who donât survive the violence. It was a bit of a slow progression for me with many breaks: the author brings that sense of hopelessness despite determination to do what is needed to survive, that undercurrent of tension and near-fatalism as people are faced with death and horrors each day with relentless repetition. No one is truly safe or protected from the devastation: personally, neighborhood and even families are stretched, threatened and endangered. Hadi has the idea of treating these ordinary people in a way that both honors their sacrifices and brings attention to the delayed if not forgotten rituals of burial and closure that have been pushed aside because of the upheavals. So, with these bits of people, scavenged from the aftermath of bombs to build an amalgam â a Frankenstein monster of sorts that will help to make a point to the authorities (however many are in âcharge) of the city. With this horrific creature created, it isnât long before it is stolen and suddenly people are telling of a monster that canât be killed, and the increase in deaths of the âbad peopleâ seem to emanate from this creature. And then â things slide into an âanything goesâ where everyone is potential fodder for this monster â first hailed as a âgood thingâ as it destroyed those who were bringing more sorrow and trouble to the city. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Raven-Audiobook/B00G2J6EKI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Raven Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: Anthony Donovan Format: Unabridged Length: 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-13 Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Chilling Ghost Stories collection. The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe, tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. Editorial Reviews: Narrator Anthony Donovan's remarkable performance of "The Raven" is steeped in melancholy and a foreboding sense of doom. Donovan uses the cadence of Edgar Allan Poe's words to form a rhythm that reveals the speaker's growing madness. Donovan uses variations in delivery, from the speaker's whispers to half-suppressed shouts to the raven's menacing croak. The emotions he draws out - hushed sorrow, indignation, and terror - are electrifying and intense. Though "The Raven" is one of Poe's most familiar and popular works, listeners will still wish to hear this excellent interpretation. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar Allan Poe) Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:58:05 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Raven-Audiobook/B00G2J6EKI thebookvoice.com 00:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 4.5 for overall, actually I honestly don't know why I love this poem. It just relaxes me, weird. The never more part is really funny though haha ..Hannibal Lector Quoth Nevermore.. The first thing that struck me is that the voice of the narrator Anthony Donovan sounds to my ear to be identical to that of Sir Anthony Hopkins. So, while listening, I automatically imagined Hannibal Lector reading aloud from a small tattered volume of The Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe while in his cell, nibbling on some fava beans. This adds to the unease this poem naturally evokes. This is a fine version of this most wonderful poem. Love this poem, then Adible ruins it at the end. Shame. I really love this poem, then Audible ruins it at the end. Shame.

The Boylan House Trilogy contains: 1. The Boylan House 2. Discoveries 3. The Deadwood Throne Members Reviews: Disappointed I truly enjoyed the Moving In series but didn't like the narrator or halting speech. This trilogy was not nearly as interesting or creepy and the story seemed disjointed. However the narrator was much better. I would like to see this narrator do the other series. I would also like less casual profanity which I don't think is necessary. Scary!! There is a house in nearly every town that stands abandoned and just left there. Well, the Boylan house is one of them! It has stood for centuries on Meeting House Road, New Hampshire. It's a house no-one dares to enter, and if they do, they usually don't come out. Also every year, around Halloween, boys seem to go missing in or around the house, never to be seen of heard from again. Just what is going on? Well, Mason Philips is intent on finding out what is going on. When he was a boy, on Halloween, himself and his friend decide to call to the house on a dare. Mason swears that a trap door opened in the roof and something pulled his friend into the house. Nobody believes him though and he goes through life remembering the house and wanting to see if it was just a young boys imagination. He goes back to try to find the truth, and what he unravels was shocking. This was awesome!! So creepy and scary and perfect for this time of year!! This is the type of book that would work well read at a camp fire. They are perfect little bite sized bits of spooky. Character wise, I really liked Mason. He has always thought about the house from his childhood and is finally in a position to find out more about it. During his research, he meets a lovely librarian, a police officer that is willing to help, and even his estranged Uncle, who has already dabbled with the house and the evil within. This ragtag group of people may just get to the bottom of what lies within the house. Plot wise, it's a really short read but packed with chills, thrills and enough of a spooky atmosphere that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. This author is fast becoming one of my go to ones for a short scary read! He knows how to tell a great story. Thom Bowers read the book well. He had plenty of different tones and inflections to make the story thoroughly enjoyable. I received this from the author. This in no way affected or influenced my thoughts! Fast paced creepy tale! This trilogy will keep you listening start to finish. The narrator does a wonderful job voicing the Boylan spirit as well as the rest of the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Shadows-Audiobook/B002V8L04Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Will keep you listening! My first John Saul book and he had me hanging on the edge in this book the entire way! I can't wait to download another one of his books! This is what you want in a book...you do not get bored. The narrarator was excellent also. Since this book was suspensful tale about kids, it reminded me of a Koontz book called The Voice Of The Night. The narrarator makes it really good! Good read - Good narration This book kept my mind so engaged during a long drive from SC to TN that the hours passed nearly unnoticed. I arrived at my destination before the book ended and found myself looking for an activity to busy my body so I could finish listening to the story. The ending was pretty much what I'd expected but it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story at all. So far this is one of my favorite audio book listens. Can't go wrong with this one Very entertaining, a little Twilight Zone, a good story and it makes you think. Worth a credit. If you like John Saul at all, you will enjoy this! No doubt - "Shadows" is worth a listen I have downloaded several John Saul novels, and have come to the conclusion that most of his works are average, but when he's at his best he rivals Steven King. This is John Saul at his best. It took a little while for me to warm up to the characters, but soon I was on the edge of my seat. This is not demonic or filled with gore. Instead, it is a psychological thriller that ask you to see the world through the eyes of highly intelligent children who are largely outcasts, and there need to be a part of something - even something more sinister than you can imagine. The narrator, J. Charles, does an excellent job of bringing these characters to life. wonderfully suspenseful. love it, great suspense. many twisting plotlines. great writing! So far have loved every one of the John Saul books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Trapped-Audiobook/B005523I70 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was the most disgusting, gory, violent, mindless, torture filled, intense, twisted book I have ever read. It was totally sick. I loved it. Gore-fest! Well, I can't say I wasn't warned by the other reviewers! This book has it all: people stranded on a scary island, sociopaths, sadists, a mad scientist, and a bunch of lobotomized cannibals. The first half of the book is effectively spooky; the second half is just gross, with vivid descriptions of people being roasted, eaten, tortured, degraded, mutilated, and so on. But I'm not complaining. Most of the story is entertaining, and the narration is solid. There is one thing that's bothering me about the story and prevents me from giving it a higher rating. A big revelation in the second half changed the complexion of the whole novel. It made me go back to listen to key passages again to see if it was possible to predict it. Were there signs buried in the story? Was the author cleverly leading us in one direction only to shock us with the truth? Or were we outright tricked? Like a lot of readers/listeners, I don't like to be fooled by cheap tricks. And this one felt pretty cheap. Still, I liked the book overall, and I recommend it to horror and gore fans. Terrorfying One of my favorite Kilborn books. One of the other reviewers used the word "twisted". This describes the story, characters, and Kilborn. Loved it!!! Thanks Jack!!! Twisted You probably either love or hate this author. I can't get enough. I finished this one in 4 days which in my busy schedule is really good. I couldn't stop listening. Read by the same guy that narrated Afraid, Phil Gigante did an excellent job. I could really visualize all the characters especially Lester. If you are a fan of gore/thriller/action then don't pass this one up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Blood-on-the-Floor-Audiobook/B073QZ1C56 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

However, I read it after & it still is a great back story for Heather & Paco. Trust me, you love it & it synchronizes great with the Series. Just listen & enjoy!!! ;) fantastic while this is a book to explain the happenings between books. it is a great stand alone. Great Job. Brilliant. read during part 15/16 of undead series LOVED every minute of it. thanks Mr. Haywood. Keep writing more.of these short stories. it really makes the Undead series come together. and gets more interesting each time. Special Story Well that was a lovely surprise. This should be read after book/day 15. Her monster. Everything I can say would be a spoiler. But this side story, adds to the whole series. Great Characters You do not have to have read the Undead series to enjoy this book, it is a stand alone episode with new characters. For those who have listened to the Undead series, this a wonderful addition to the world we already know. R.R. Haywood is an author who truly knows how to know write character driven novels. It's love at first read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Grim-Discovery-Audiobook/B01IA5G9VK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The witty dialogue and bickering between the characters is entertaining and fun. I admit I skipped ahead a couple of times because I wanted to skip the suspence. I love this series. Great to listen to! I really did enjoy this book! It is a lot of conversation which I prefer when listening to a book. I dont have to focus so much, I can go about my bussiness without missing anything. laugh out loud book. Fabulously funny, laugh out loud, book. The Grimlock's are a wonderful family. You can't go wrong with any of Amanda M Lee's books! LOVE IT! I want to be part of this family! The fun and sarcasm continues in the third installment. First, Yea!!! for Griffin who has been accepted by father Grim as part of the family. Second, Yea!!! for Jerry be still being the best BFF gay friend. Third, Yea!!! for the best dialogue where father Grim grounded all the kids. Amanda M. Lee does not disappoint. I am thankful for her adherence to her style because she gave me a novel that I can enjoy. Ok I do have one small issue. Why cant the reapers have just one small power? Something like to materialize unseen to pick-up a soul; a little extra fighting strength. Just something to make then a little less normal and more paranormal. Finally, you go Amanda Lee another good one! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lineage-Audiobook/B01GP0A62A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lineage This is the best horror novel that I have read in ages! It is perfect! Lots of gore but good story Love the story loved the intertwining plot and ending was amazing. The Gore was unnecessary and seem to just take up pages. Otherwise a good story and I'm very glad I got it Very shocking thriller start to finish The first three chapters were the best. hard to become more intense after that. Ending came fast and a little loose, but nothing terrible. A few loose ends I don't think tied. loved how the tired his lineage to the beginning chapters. A great ghost Mystery you cannot put down! Should be a classic ghost thriller. This is one of Hart's best books. I highly recommend it to those who love scary ghost stories. Loved it! I work from home, and love audiobooks to keep me on track, I'm super ADHD, and this was the ticket. I didn't want to stop working so I could just keep listening. Thanks for the great story. Well done!

Members Reviews: Keeps getting better! Brilliantly written and outstanding narration! Can not wait for the next in the series! Just wow. Just Wow I didn't realize this was book 4 but I have every intention of getting the rest of this series. What a great listen. Well worth a credit. Broken Rules Amanda Stevens has tremendous talent for writing spooky ghost stories. She creates such a haunting atmosphere that you feel like you're in Amelia's shoes. And let me just tell you this, it is a freaking scary place to be. I think this book has been the scariest yet! No joke. Why didn't I give this 5 stars? I have 3 reasons and it has nothing to do with the spook level. First~ John and Amelia have gone through a lot and after the last book I was hoping things would finally start coming together more. Unfortunately, when it comes to these two it's always one step forward and 2 steps back. It's exhausting and it doesn't look like the next book will be any better. Other than the potent sexual chemistry, I'm just not feeling the love. Second~ The whole thing with Rupert Shaw just kind of bugged me. It was weird. They were like best pals in this book and I was left scratching my head. Remember the last book? Third~ When will Amelia learn how powerful she is and how to use said power? She has been told by many people that she possesses a lot of power. Okay, great. It's the 4th book though and she is still mostly clueless about her abilities. I want to see more progress with this. I'm still a huge fan though. I will pre-order the next book because I know it will be scary, hypnotic, and oh so good! Amazing story line. The Visitor took a new twist Amelia 's history is slowly coming to light and has dark consequences for her future. Creepy ,scary and fantastic This was a great story with great narration.

From the faculty to the students, the fascination with other-worldly legends and objects runs rampant. So, when Carter Weston's professor Dr. Thayerson asks him to search a nearby village for a book that is believed to control the inhuman forces that rule the Earth, Incendium Maleficarum, the student doesn't hesitate to begin the quest. Weston's journey takes an unexpected turn, however, when he ventures into a tavern in the small town of Anchorhead. Rather than passing the evening as a solitary patron, Weston joins four men who regale him with stories of their personal experiences with forces both preternatural and damned. Two stories hit close to home as they tie the tellers directly to Weston's current mission. His unanticipated role as passive listener proves fortuitous, and Weston fulfills his goal. Bringing the book back to Miskatonic, though, proves to be a grave mistake. Quickly, Weston realizes he has played a role in potentially opening the gate between the netherworld and the world of man.

Members Reviews: An excellent horror novel, now a great audiobook The best compliment I can give That Which Should Not Be is that its the only novel Ive ever read three times (four counting the audio version). Thats how good it is. Built around a series of chilling tales recounted by the novels characters, each is self-contained and enjoyable in its own right. Yet these individual stories contribute in ways not immediately foreseeable to the overall plot. Its a classic kind of storytelling, and author Brett J. Talley pulls it off masterfully. In each of the novels composite narratives, he builds dread-filled anticipation, and pays off the reader with harrowing action. Audiobook narrator David Stifels style melds perfectly with the authors storytelling. Stifels delivery is precisely the voice one would expect of late 19th century men hesitantly sharing the horrible things theyve seen and endured. This is the first audiobook of Stifels Ive listened to, but based on his performance here, I will be checking out more of his work. (And certainly the audio version of TWSNBs sequel, He Who Walks In Shadow, which Stifel also narrates.) TWSNB is a Lovecraftian horror novel, meaning it borrows from the mythos created by early 20th century horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. For those unfamiliar, Lovecraft is credited with creating cosmic horror. In Lovecrafts telling, at some point in the ancient past these massively powerful elder gods called the Old Ones were cast out of our world. Their return would pretty much mean the end of the world, and for that reason a lot of Lovecraft-inspired fiction revolves around human worshippers foolishly trying to awaken their favorite Old One. You neednt be a Lovecraft fan to enjoy this novel, though if you are youll notice more than a few Easter eggs. In Lovecraftian fiction, a protagonists powerlessness relative to the Old Ones can be taken as shorthand for humanitys cosmic insignificance, yet Talley rejects this nihilism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Terror-in-the-Mist-Audiobook/B078Y8GKB4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Two years later, incredible circumstances again force Jonathon back to the island, but this time he's joined by a team of mercenaries. Their mission was supposed to be a simple rescue and recovery, but as usual, nothing on the island is simple. Once again, the carnivorous dinosaurs inflict a significant amount of carnage and death, but this time the island itself seems to fight back as well. With death and destruction seemingly breathing down his neck, paleontologist Jonathon Williams is suddenly faced with his greatest challenge yet! The island has essentially become a ticking time bomb.... Will he escape before it's too late? Terror in the Mist is the exciting conclusion to the Island in the Mist trilogy! Members Reviews: Good series This is a good and quick read series. The people were believable and so we're the animals. However , I want to know about the phone call and Cole. Excellent Loved this book..just as good if not better than the first 2..non stop action..from a hurrican to talking dinos..was perfect!!! This is a good story about dinosaurs and the Bermuda triangle. This I is a good story about the Bermuda triangle and didn't slants. Put in an island that appear and disappear is a good idea for a bok.. Terror This is the best of the three books. Fast action and cool characters. I really liked this book a lot...and who would not like talking dinos?! Definitely a good read and a great ending. Four Stars good book cant wait for the next one https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Audiobook/B01M5DM7PU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Different does not equal bad... Any additional comments? I love that RR Haywood follows "a logical path" in some ways. It's predictable only to keep the story familiar and relatable. But then he adds the genius...he includes unexpected and realistic conflict between main characters! Its been like this for almost the entire series and I love it! *** Give Joe Jameson a chance *** Initially I was not happy with the change in narrator...then I read that Dan Morgan refused to continue this series. Joe Jameson stepped up to continue one of my favorite audio series of all time, so I felt that I owed it to Howie & Co. to start fresh and give Joe a chance. By the end of this book, I realize that Joe is an incredibly talented actor! His voices for EVERYONE are better! IMO, Dan Morgan's Dave was the only voice better...That said, Joe's "Dave" is far more realistic given who Dave is. We got used to Dan's more human sounding Dave, which made him so likeable. More great news: Joe is such a pro that he has taken the feedback and made some changes to Dave's voice going forward. Please give Joe a chance and let the story continue!Ultimately, another great addition to the series! Enjoy! Bring back Dan Morgan The story is spot on. I have been a fan of The Undead from the beginning. Dan Morgan narrated the first ten books, and brought the characters to life the way they were written. The new narrator ruins the story with his subpar narration. He also makes Dave sound like a simpleton which he is not. Don't mess with Dave. Redo book 11, 12, and 13 with Dan Morgan or I will be reading them instead of listening to them with audible, and this is the series that got me to sign up for audible. voice well good try James. Howies voice ok but ruined Dave and most others. so sad. Just get better and better! I find myself asking the question. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bad-Games-Hellbent-A-Dark-Psychological-Thriller-Audiobook/B015D7A2XE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Domino is a badass! The audiobook version of a thrill ride roller coas Would you listen to Bad Games: Hellbent - A Dark Psychological Thriller again? Why? Probably not. It was good, but it takes a lot for me to reread anything. What did you like best about this story? The narrator was amazing. He really brought the characters to life and made them all individuals. If you could take any character from Bad Games: Hellbent - A Dark Psychological Thriller out to dinner, who would it be and why? Domino. I wanna hear about his other adventures Any additional comments? The second book of the series was my favorite. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunting-of-Gillespie-House-Audiobook/B01C7QVE2M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story line is scattered at best, and your not really sure where the story takes place or what error the language the main character uses confuses you on what decade she exist in. What could Darcy Coates have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Mentioned time line, established stronger plot line and leave out some of the useless small details and focus more on the "villian". Not enough leading up to the main encounter and the encounter was brief and underwhelming. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Laurel Schroeder? The narrator was fine. What character would you cut from The Haunting of Gillespie House? Mrs. Gillespie could have easily have been single and taking a vacation or off to a businews conference, the mentioning of her husband was not needed and the words and space used on him could have further developed the main plot. Any additional comments? Nope. expected more chills this must be a young adult novel because it really doesn't have a real chill factor, although the narration was good. Great Performance and Spooky Mansion Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. If you like creepy old haunted Gothic mansions, then this is the story for you. Slamming doors, cobwebs, dusty oil portraits, ornate mahogany furniture, locked doors, nightmares, rats, secret passages, whispers in the night, graveyards! What other book might you compare The Haunting of Gillespie House to and why? Burnt Offerings. Not quite the same. Which character as performed by Laurel Schroeder was your favorite? The main character... the one that has to stay alone in the haunted house. If you could take any character from The Haunting of Gillespie House out to dinner, who would it be and why? Again, the main character. Maybe that's because the performance is so innocent its almost sexy. Any additional comments? Loved it... highly recommended. Good - But not what I thought it would be... Would you try another book from Darcy Coates and/or Laurel Schroeder? I will try one more of Coates to see if it is any different. I was not impressed with Schroeder's performance. Would you be willing to try another book from Darcy Coates? Why or why not? Yes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Killing-Floor-Blues-Audiobook/B016CD3V7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Daniel Faust is evolving as a character.. he is becoming more powerful and likable and the bad guys are more hateable. The story is a little simpler and easier to follow. I enjoyed it a lot - cant wait for the next one! A great continuation of a great series This is starting to become my most favorite urban magic series to date and this book made sure for it to stay that way. Overall it's an interesting change of pace compared to the first ones. You clearly see in this book that magic does not fix all problems, it helps, but you still need a lot of planning to pull things off. A fireball won't really help. if you like Urban Fantasy, this is a must read THIS! I dont even know how to write the review for this. There are so many feels! First of all being that I do not want Daniel Fausts story to end. Coming to the end of a good book is like a tragedy. Being involved in this series though, it just pulls you in and does not let go! Instead of that suffocating feeling, I got all the feels of being comforted and safe. Maybe I just wont stand so close to Faust since he is CONSTANTLY in trouble! If you have read the others, and I highly suggest you do, then you know book four ended on a massive cliff hanger. We are awaiting Daniels fate and then book five starts and Daniel is not where I expected him to be. Like he did not have enough problems with everything that is about to happen in Las Vegas, oh no apparently someone felt that he needed a vacation, in the form of prison. I think this is my favorite of the series. There just something about Faust that lets everyone around him know that he will not bow down, no matter what is happening. Everyone around him seems to be in power and yet he can waltz in with a smile on his face. He doesnt even have any real cards to play but he finds them in mysterious places that only Faust would be able to find. With no wizarding tricks up his sleeve, literally and figuratively, Faust is left to deal with his problems within the prison, on his wits. Hes a quick thinker even when it looks like he cannot come up with anything else. Somehow Adam Verner was able to keep up with this. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Tide-Iron-Wind-Audiobook/B06Y5Q4QQ1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great characters and exciting science fiction! And of course the Schools are a cool new breed of Zombies! Loved the narrator! another awesome installment of The Tide series What did you love best about The Tide: Iron Wind? The women characters are just as Kick @ss as the male characters. And who can go wrong with Zombie Monsters. Who was your favorite character and why? As always, Dom is my favorite, although Frank was a close second in #5. Have you listened to any of Ryan Kennard Burkes other performances before? How does this one compare? this is a fantastic listen. If you could rename The Tide: Iron Wind, what would you call it? I like the title. Any additional comments? This is a great series, full of action, adventure and almost superhuman men and women fighting zombie monsters. I absolutely love love love this series. I absolutely love this series. If you are looking for an exciting new story to get into, this is it. You will not be disappointed. If you like post apocalyptic stories with a twist, this is your series. This Series is Great! I love the story and the series. Chock full of action! The characters are great and well written. I find the narration a little stilted in places but overall I'd recommend it. I look forward to the next in the series. I especially appreciate the more mature characters of Dom and Meredith being a mature character myself. I can imagine their exhaustion. Truly remarkable characters! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Walls-of-Lemuria-The-Keo-Storyline-Audiobook/B015QHSJBI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to The Walls of Lemuria: The Keo Storyline the most enjoyable? Sam really fleshes out a character so that they become people you care about. You feel like you are with them in the fight to stay alive. Who was your favorite character and why? Keo has come to be a favorite character. Ex-mercenary but good guy, earns an important part in this post apocalyptic adventure. His skills, intelligence and humor are indispensable to the group's success. Why is he named Keo? Because (insert name here) was taken. ;-) Any additional comments? I received this Audible version for an honest review. I had already read the books and have loved the whole series. The Audible version was well read and a great way to spend time with my favorite series while I commute and work. Loved hearing this character come to life! What did you love best about The Walls of Lemuria: The Keo Storyline? This narrated version of San Sisavath's novel added tremendous depth to Keo, who is one of my favorite characters. He is an unlikely hero who repeatedly demonstrates the same honorable qualities that make Will and Danny, other primary characters in this series, heroic leads. The narrator did an outstanding job lending emotion and personality to Keo while staying true to gritty tone of the story. I love this author. I love this series. I love these characters. The audio version is just one more way to enjoy my favorite indulgence. What did you like best about this story? Sam Sisavath has managed to balance many nuances, resulting in a compelling, engaging story. There is romance, danger, adventure, drama and mystery. He doesn't cut his characters any slack when it comes to loss and struggle, but overall there is a theme of hope and redemption. Excellent world-building, compelling plot twists and fantastic characters. I think this series is comparable to The Walking Dead in that once you get attached to the characters, you'll keep coming back to see what happens next. So glad I can enjoy it on audio for those times I cannot sit down with the books. Have you listened to any of Ryan Burkes other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first audiobook by Ryan Burke. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Necro-Files-Audiobook/B014X9O63U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Monster Librarian) Members Reviews: HE HATED HIMSELF FOR HATING HE TOLD HER SHE WAS PRETTY, AND MAYBE SHE WAS BECAUSE OF THE TELLING This was not what I thought I was getting. I bought this for the RR Martin story, Lansdale and I like horror. I had read Meathouse Man by Martin in John Joseph Adams' THE LIVING DEAD. Martin had been in a lot of emotional pain when he wrote this story and he poured all that pain into it. It is a great story and I was hoping the rest of the collect would be like Meathouse Man. HE HAD THE KIND OF FACE THAT ATTRACTS FLIES Out of the 19 stories, I found seven that I really liked. They are pretty much read in chronological order. The first story was written in 1976. Than comes Landsdale's story which will have you laughing your head off, until you start crying from fright. Diary is next and it was good and weird. ABED BY MASSIE is pretty gross and involves sex with a zombie and a grandma who does oral on her daughter in law. I actually liked the story and was proud of my self for being able to handle the grossness. THAN--- Splatter porn. All the rest of the stories are splatter, erotica, gross, disgusting porn. The stories seem to get worse and worse and worse as far as what they do in each story. I like the Konrath kind of story which usually involves cannibalism, amputations, and mutants through inbreeding, but this has none of that, this is sticking knifes in every orifice, defecating and sex with rotting corpses. There were four stories in which I skipped to the end as they just seem to be a competition in grossness. Yet, even in splatter porn of which I am not a fan, I did find a good writer, can write an entertaining, intelligent story. Garton's story is sort of satirical, Everson's story was kind of clichéd, but I could not turn away. O'Rourke has a torture story that goes the limit. Masterton's story was a bit predictable, but I hope he wrote more stories involving the main character, who had much character. Gonzales writes a anti splatter porn, splatter porn, which does a great job covering addiction and what it could lead to. The narrator was not consistent. Some stories he did very well, but in some, especially Meat Man, he just mailed it in. A Friendly Warning Any additional comments? I am compelled to write a review on this audio book, well actually a bit of a warning. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Domain-Audiobook/B00F5AZ0FK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The final countdown. The long-dreaded nuclear conflict. The city torn apart, shattered, its people destroyed or mutilated beyond hope. For just a few, survival is possible only beneath the wrecked streets - if there is time to avoid the slow-descending poisonous ashes. But below, the rats, demonic offspring of irradiated forebears, are waiting. They know that Man is weakened, become frail. Man has become their prey. James Herbert was one of Britains greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages. Born in London in the forties, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant bestseller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction. Herbert went on to publish a new top ten best-seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more bestselling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall. Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69. Editorial Reviews: Imagine: the scrabble of little claws, the cold slither of hairless tails. That is just part of the terror of James Herbert's third book in the chilling Rats Series. Domain imagines a horrible post-apocalyptic world in which humans must compete with rats to survive the nuclear holocaust. David Rintoul's performance is truly disturbing in the best ways! Rintoul is able to ratchet up the suspense in Herbert's novel until it almost feels as if the rats are right below you! Critic Reviews: Herbert was by no means literary, but his work had a raw urgency. His best novels, The Rats and The Fog, had the effect of Mike Tyson in his championship days: no finesse, all crude power. Those books were best sellers because many readers (including me) were too horrified to put them down.

"Domain" is the third and final installment of "The Rats" trilogy. It is primarily about London dealing with the fall out of Nuclear destruction and the survivors of the attack. But of course when the meek inherit the earth, in this case we're talking about the rats, who are anything but meek. They are violence, hunger and fury rolled into one. This is 1970's style horror story telling at its best. Read excitedly by David Rintoul. Not what I exerted for the final chapter. I really enjoyed the first two books but this Domain took a big left turn. It was alright and David Rantoul did a great job as usual. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hemlock-Grove-Audiobook/B007MRLTSG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 285 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A charismatic young writer reinvents the gothic novel, bringing a fresh energy to our darkest myths and deepest horrors in an expectation-defying tale of adolescent deception, ravenous violence, and rumors of werewolves. The body of a young girl is found mangled and murdered in the woods of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of the abandoned Godfrey Steel Mill. A manhunt ensues - though the authorities arent sure if it's a man they should be looking for. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a foreboding biotech facility owned by the Godfrey family, where some suspect that biological experiments of the most unethical kind take place. Others turn to Peter Rumancek, a Gypsy trailer-trash kid who has told impressionable high-school classmates that hes a werewolf. Or perhaps its Roman, the son of the late JR Godfrey, who rules the adolescent social scene with the casual arrogance of a cold-blooded aristocrat, his superior status unquestioned - despite his decidedly freakish sister, Shelley, whose monstrous medical conditions belie a sweet intelligence, and his otherworldly, sexy control-freak of a mother, Olivia. As the crime goes unsolved and the police seem more and more willing to believe any outlandish rumor, Peter and Roman decide the only way to save their own skins is to find the killer themselves. Along the way they uncover local secrets and designs that are much bigger than some small-town murder. Hemlock Groveis an exhilarating reinvention of the gothic novel, inspired by the iconic characters of our greatest myths and nightmares.

I got the book because I had watched the show and was hoping that the book would clarify some things from the show; it did, but not the ones I was hoping for. Who was your favorite character and why? I don't really have a favorite character. Of them all, I dislike Shelly and Destiny the least. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Not really. The narration was probably the worst thing about this audiobook. Runnette just sounded bored most of the time. If this book were a movie would you go see it? It's already a tv show, and I have seen it. It follows the book probably 90% of the time. Any additional comments? I would describe this book as hipster urban fantasy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/This-Shattered-Land-Audiobook/B00CS534ZI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yes, the narrator does a splendid job. The story flows well enough that the listener stays engaged. What does Guy Williams bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Absolutly Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? There is a general problem with most zombie, walking dead, infected or whatever, stories. The laws of physics are such that the energy expended by the creatures has to come from somewhere. If it is from what they can catch and eat, then when their hunting stops showing results, they will weaken and be unable to hunt. They will run out of energy unless they can consume whatever mass their bodies retain to provide energy for movement. Even so, they are on the wrong side of the energy curve. Factor in the ravages from maggots/flies, they will run out of juice and cease to be able to move. There is no way that zombies are not on their own doomsday clock. This rarely comes up in this genre and does not in this series. Other than that, this is a great series. Great Book!!! Any additional comments? I thoroughly enjoyed the characters or Eric and Gabriel and their struggles. I hope there are more to come. Great follow up to "No Easy Hope" Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this follow up to "No Easy Hope." I got more about the character Gabe, which I had wanted. So far this series has a good and gritty realism with a good understanding of human nature, both the highs and the lows. Really enjoyable! pretty good 2nd book Any additional comments? this shattered land picks up 2 years after the end of the 1st book. eric and gabe have been holed up at eric's grandmother's cabin in the mountains. they both begin to realize that they want more than just surviving. they decide to head to colorado springs, where what's left of the u.s. gov't has established a safe zone. while hunting in one of the valleys around their cabin, eric and gabe discover a small family: tom, sara, and their 12 year old son, brian. the first half of the story deals with eric and gabe meeting and getting to know this family and getting prepared to leave their safe place for the wild journey to colorado. but before they can leave, they decide to venture into one of the nearby towns for supplies and items that might have a trade value. there are a few zombie battles in the first half of the story, but the survivors quickly learn their trickiest and deadliest enemy may be other survivors. those who have managed to survive have learned how to use zombies as weapons. the second half of the story revolves around the journey to colorado. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Slow-Burn-Audiobook/B00J2IBL36 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: better than expected Did Jason Damron do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? regarding the narration, it grew on me. my first thought was william shatner. a lot of people kind of laugh at his overacting as captain kirk on star trek. to apply it to the narrator, i thought he was overacting. Any additional comments? i'm a zombie apocylapse junkie, and i'll listen to almost any zombie story so when audible recommended this book, i clicked on it to read the summary and listen to the sample. neither really caught my attention, but i had a few hours to burn so i decided to give it a try b/c i could always return it. plus at $10, it's pretty expensive for such a short story. however by the time i finished listening to it, i downloaded the next installment b/c i was intrigued by what would happen next. the story takes place in austin, texas, and most of the action is centered around the university there. the author went to school there, and uses his knowledge of the area to build the story. i can't say much without spoiling the plot, but what i can say is that the plot is unique in that it's a little bit different than what i've listened to lately, and different is usually good. even though slow burn is a really short story at 3 and 1/2 hours, it packs a punch. a lot happens in that short time. as the author states, this is the first book in a 6 part series. as an initial outbreak story, it's pretty good. it captures the confusion and fear of what's happening. there's a lot of action, but there are well-timed pauses to let the listener and characters catch their breath. the story ends at a good place, and i'm eagerly awaiting to see what happens next. a little bit about me...at the moment, all of the t.v. shows i watch are either on hiatus or are over. so audio books are one of my main sources of entertainment. so, i'm always purchasing extra credits and buying books. i found slow burn worth the $10. i was thoroughly entertained by it. so if you're like me, then this is a good way to be entertained for a short time. if you're new to the zombie genre or don't want to expend a credit on such a short story, put it in your wish list to come back to to see if an omnibus version is released in the future, or if it goes on sale. there are a lot of good zombie books, and this one is kind of expensive. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Stand-Audiobook/B008K7S3E0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: 'As a storyteller, he is up there in the Dickens class.' (The Times) Members Reviews: Love it, love it, love it If you could sum up The Stand in three words, what would they be? What a story What other book might you compare The Stand to and why? It stands alone, with over 100 books in my library to date this is by far the best written book and narrated I have had the pleasure of listening. There are some great non-fiction but this is the best. What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The best reader by far, he has a pleasing voice, a great ability to adapt his voice to the scenes and makes you feel as addicted to his narration as the written word. He seems to give the emotion, the tension and the horror that perfect weight. No reader could feel that emotion so perfectly. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, addictive, so very descriptive and so wonderfully interwoven I think I would scream if I never heard it. The story is brilliant. I have heard that Mr king does not think this his best, it may not be but to me it is. I feel a strong emotion at his descriptive abilities one of awe, one of jealousy at such power and one of pleasure to be guided by an incredible writer and ably assisted by a suburb narration. I feel the evil in Harold, the confusion in Nadine, the fear in Fanny expertly expressed by Grover Gardner. The story does anger me for some events I find shocking but then that's the greatest ability of a writer to bring out not theirs but your own emotion. Any additional comments? This should be in every audible member's library. It's long but it's as Tom might say 'M O O N and that spells incredible' Great book well read Where does The Stand rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a great story which I first read in high school. The reader is really great and adds a lot to the story. Good story, but not as epic as expected Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes I would. The novel has a good premise and deep characters. It is definitely worth a read just to witness their struggles in the wake of a world-destroying plague. Every character has their flaws and it is interesting to see the choices they make in the face of the battle between good and evil. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Perhaps a more climactic ending. The ending to the book did come together quite seamlessly, however it just felt that there was a lot of buildup to something that didn't really deliver as expected. The epicness expected just wasn't there. Flagg is an interesting villain, but not the big bad boogeyman he could have been. At times his demeanor is more comical than fearsome. Whilst I understand this underlines his more psychotic moments, I felt it took a little of the menace away from him. What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Gardner's performance is done very well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/House-of-Reckoning-Audiobook/B002VA3E32 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent John Saul Book Very exciting, and even though I have read many of John Sauls books, this was the first Audible book of his. The narration was excellent added greatly to the story. Just Too Real it was spooky The characters were so real and the problems faced by a children in foster care was so accurately depicted, it was spooky. Saul somehow manages to keep all the characters real to life while taking you down a journey to a dream like ending. A must read! A good book Where does House of Reckoning rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Not high on the list but a decent story with a really good performance. Would you recommend House of Reckoning to your friends? Why or why not? Not really, the last few chapters seem to be just kind of thrown together. Have you listened to any of Angela Dawes other performances before? How does this one compare? No, but I would again in a heart beat, she make a 'okay' story really good. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No An entertaining read, but that's about all Just like the title says. It is entertaining, but very predictable, especially the ending. Some of Saul's novels that I have read have given me the shivers, but this doesn't even tickle. Wonderful author One of my father authors of all time and the lady reading it did phenomenal job.

Members Reviews: I loved it! Where does Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Very high What was one of the most memorable moments of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After? I enjoyed the entire story. Which character as performed by Katherine Kellgren was your favorite? I think that she did a great job with all the characters. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Best of the Series The narration was GREAT! I couldn't stop listening. I don't know that I would have actually read it with the same perspective. The different characters came alive. Ending was a little abrupt and detracted from the overall experience. Awesome addition to the series I really enjoyed the first book, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, and was worried that this third book couldn't live up to its humor & originality. I was pleasantly proved wrong, and actually enjoyed this book as much as I did the original. Having read the other two novels in this series (or rather, listened to them), the characters are fully formed in my mind, and this continuation of their struggles against the dreadfuls was very well done. Katherine Kellgren did an excellent narration - her voices for the individual characters were "spot-on" and never overdone, and I felt she really came into her element in this story. I was very impressed with her timing and her tone - she conveyed the obvious humor perfectly. At one point in the story, a character pops into the scene by talking first - and the reader knows exactly which character it is by Ms. Kellgren's performance. I honestly enjoyed the narration as much as the book itself. I highly recommend this book, especially if you enjoyed the first one! A nice conclusion Where does Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It isn't my favorite audiobook, but it was definitely enjoyable. What did you like best about this story? I liked that characters from the previous PPZ books (particularly Kitty and Mary) who didn't have a whole lot of development got to play a bigger role in this book. It fleshed out the story quite a bit more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunting-of-Bechdel-Mansion-Omnibus-Audiobook/B01MRDATI7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Couldn't get past the first 4 minutes Story line sounds really interesting but I seriously couldn't get past the first 4-5 minutes in the story because the narrator sounds like a computer from the early 90's is reading to me..... I immediately had to go and return it. Nice little reminder for me to always sample the audio first mehh good premise, there was a lot of potential. I kept waiting for it to hook me.... i really tried. it's not that hard to do, I can get hooked on a TV show that I don't even like is I watch one episode, so when I gonna myself having to rewind over and over because my mind would wander off mid sentence multiple times per chapter, that said a lot. I finally got slightly (very slight) interested and bam, the end. oh well not sure was not as good as I thought it would be. very disappointed xx x https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Slow-Burn-Grind-Book-8-Audiobook/B0178DBTF6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Love Zed, he stays on something obsessively. can't wait for the next installment. I miss Murphy's laugh... heh heh heh Love the series. This book like the ones before it was great and after a bit, I grew to love Mr. Runettes's narration. Great Series I love this book series, however book 8 is quiet boring not because of the story line, but because of the narrator with his monotone voice is killing me and the story...Bring back the original narrator Jason Damron!!!!!! Pleaseeeeeeee! Great series! Just needed original narrator, keep thing I was listening to Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo. great story...narration no so much Another strong book in the series. another poor performance from the new narrator. hope for a return of the original one for book 9 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Manhattan-Hunt-Club-Audiobook/B002VA3FB8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Story good, narrator ruins it The storyline is interesting and well written, although I admit I am only halfway finished. I don't know if I will finish it. The problem is the Reader. His regular reading voice is fine. But his character's voices are horrible. Very cartoonish, they almost all sound like Elmer Fudd. If the Reader is doing something that takes your attention off of the story, he is failing to do his job. Bad edits, duplicate reading Good story, horrible editing. Did the narrator change mid read? If so, second reader better. Narrator re-reads parts. Wow is this not a narration Would you try another book from John Saul and/or David Daoust? I do enjoy John Saul books while simple have some great creep factor and very imaginative. If youve listened to books by John Saul before, how does this one compare? I have read John Saul but not listened to one. It is my wife's favorite of his books. The book seems to be good. How did the narrator detract from the book? Stutters and chooses strange voices for the characters, pauses all the time. Could you see The Manhattan Hunt Club being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Not sure how to answer that. The story by iteself was excellent What did you love best about The Manhattan Hunt Club? It was a fantastic story. I read it as a kid and when I saw it on here, I couldn't wait to read it again! What was one of the most memorable moments of The Manhattan Hunt Club? Meeting the homeless man that was shy and stole purses. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of David Daoust? Almost anyone! While his narration was fantastic, his imitation of voices were TERRIBLE! It almost turned me off to the book. Some whined, women talked like men...it was horrible. But his narration otherwise was good. There was a lot of dialog in the book though. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Teen gets kidnapped and hunted by top members of NYC society. Any additional comments? It was a good book, my only complaint was how the narrator voiced out the women and children. ehh...not all that! This was an OK story. Not like the scary stories that he usually puts out. The narrarator sucked big time! His voices for Jinx sounded just weird. And lines would always repeat at certain parts, but repeat in an entire different tone from the last time. -as if a new narrarator had taken over. Im like huh? Did he quit and start back up on different days? So yup...take your chances on a tale about the homeless who live underground in NYC. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Beyond-Doorways-Audiobook/B078YZW33P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A dark series of short stories This book of short stories is a unique series of dark studies in character. The stories move similarly to the best Lovecraft, where the mood dominates and despair is present if undefined. The last story of based on Egyptian myth (the title is in hieroglyphics) was the best, but they all stand up on their own and you'll do worse for $1 for a Kindle book. Excellent short stories This was a great book of short stories. They stories were interesting & I had a hard time putting the book down! Excellent! 5 Short stories 5 great short stories. 1) The Open Door 2) Monster in the closet 3) Her Sister's eyes 4) a egyptian story 5) Dead Man's dog All 5 were great and I really enjoyed them. I'm not gonna break down each story, Because you should read them for your self. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Refuge-Omnibus-Edition-Audiobook/B00J5RD13M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Refuge Omnibus Edition Subtitle: Refuge 1 - 5 Author: David McAfee, Jeremy Robinson, Daniel S. Boucher, Robert Swartwood, Kane Gilmour, Jeremy Bishop Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 03-25-14 Publisher: Breakneck Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 224 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Refuge, New Hampshire, is a small town. The kind found on postcards. Their biggest concern is the rowdy summertime revelers making their way up from Massachusetts and New York. And with most of the town's residents in neighboring Ashland, for the Fourth of July fireworks show, Refuge is quieter than usual. 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. Led by ex-Army Ranger turned surrealist painter, Griffin Butler, Sheriff Rebecca Rule and her deputy, Helena Frost, the residents of Refuge must weather an ever changing onslaught of otherworldly dangers while trying to uncover how and why the landscape beyond town shifts every time the church bell tolls. As a sequence of horrific events threaten to destroy the town, the residents must band together, search for answers and find a way to defend their homes, or Refuge will be lost. 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. The novel was released in five parts, every two weeks beginning in late 2013, but it is now available as one complete novel. So listen for the individual parts or the whole completed novel.

The books spins off in so many ( sometimes wild directions ) that is it hard to find one point either way. This is an at times violent, jarring book, with a number of direction changes, well developed characters and surreal circumstances. I enjoyed it for the most part, but it certainly does sound/feel like it was written by many different authors. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Not sure it could be the same book if it was altered. Maybe edited to be more linear, although I think the point is not to do that. It is also somewhat deriviative of some other " small town/altered realities" books I have listened to. That said, it is sort of a "greatest hits' of that genre, and well done as such. Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafers other performances before? How does this one compare? Not that I recall, and he does a fine job here. Could you see Refuge Omnibus Edition being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? SyFy with no names. Any additional comments? I wanted to give this offering a higher rating, but it spins abit too far out of control for my tastes. May just be mine. It sprawls, it's messy, but it is performed well, and on balance I recommend it. Steven King But Better Would you listen to Refuge Omnibus Edition again?

Members Reviews: UNICORN SALAD NOT BEING KILLED IS PRETTY HIGH ON MY AGENDA You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Slim. Slim is still the bad A as in all the other books and he is still sarcastically witty. If you have not read Sandman, I would suggest you start at the beginning, that was by far the best book. The rest of the books have less story and are pretty much all about the sarcasm. I love this type of dry humor, but plot lines and lack of new interesting characters keeps me from being too interested. I might venture into some of Kadry's other universes, but I think I am done messy around with Slim. HIGH PLAINS DRIFTERS OR ZOMBIES MacLeod Andrews does great work and is a positive factor in deciding on what books to read. disappointing this story fell cut short and did not have any have any of the depth of the previous stories. It just short of stopped as things started moving along. Makes me wonder if I'm going to bother continuing the series as I feel ripped off. short but just as bad a $$ as the all of the other sandman slim books Good but short The story was easy and entertaining like the rest so far on the series. However I was surprised to find how short the book actually was. It's nice to hear what is going in with good old Stark, but right when I was getting really into it it was over. Next book here I come McLeod Andrews makes this difficult narration work Favorite narrator and author. We want Him to star in the movie.

What neither side is prepared for is the darker force that they will both face. Indiscriminate and incapable of mercy, the new enemy will drive the Romans to the very brink of destruction. The Gates of Hades have opened and the Roman Legions must face what has escaped. Members Reviews: A great twist to the Zompoc theme. I loved how Michael Whitehead set a zombie apocalypse amongst the political intrigue of the once mighty Roman Empire. A great read! Not what it seems. While I live the premise, old Rome and zombies and was excited for what I was sure was going to be a new and refreshing twist on the Zombie genre, I was severely disappointed after the first 20 minutes. The narration and dialect is absolutely horrible. By horrible I don't mean that the narrater is hard to listen to, but that the book is written in a very Proper new world English accent, even with words that you would hear today. for instance a Roman commander tells a subordinate to "get cracking" like out of the Sherlock Holmes movies. There is no realistic Old Roman sound or vernacular like from the tv show Rome or the tv show Sspartacus. It's very disconcerting to try and imagine yourself during the Roman times when it sounds as if you are in downtown London. I would really like my credit back as cannot continue tonlistwn to this book butcher what should be one of the more romantic languages of their time. also there is very little mention so far of any of the old Roman God's which during this age they certainly would have associated a plague of this sort to the anger of the gods. Anyway one persons review hope it helps others. Very good As a daughter of a historian, I was drawn to this story. As a student long ago of Latin classes and a awesome teacher that could spin tails like no other for the history of Roman Empire. This story rivals the stories I loved as a child and adult. Just with the undead thrown in. WOOT! Out standing. A few minor issues with vocabulary, but unless you are a die-hard for a mostly dead language you won't notice. Can't wait for more. Recommended highly recommend. Different but good! This was a great story. Not what I expected but I really enjoyed it. I would describe this book as the walking dead against the Roman empire. I really enjoyed the perspective of the zombie invasion in a time without motorized vehicles, guns, tanks ect. All the survivors had where swords, shields, bows and arrows and their training. I really recommend this book for anyone who loves zombies or the roman empire. The narrator of this book has so many different voices in his arsenal. He brought all of the characters to life. One of the best mashups I've listened to! Legion of the Undead really hit the spot; I need a second helping! First, I love Roman Empire stories and Ive come to love zombie fiction in the past few years. Now we have the perfect mash-up. Hungry zombie horde, meet the Roman legions! Cue evil laughter! Often with ancient Roman historical fiction, I dont see too many female characters and the few that are present are usually only there to act as someones love/lust interest. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Colony-Audiobook/B00D3PEMSA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Solid atmospheric horror I have slowly become a fan of this author. I started with "The House of Lost Souls" which, honestly, I could take or leave due to the meandering plot and slow pace. I gave him another chance with "Magdalena's Curse" and "The Waiting Room." I have since read/listened to all the author's other works, and, in my opinion, this is his best. I was snagged right away by the opening chapter. It gave just enough information to keep a horror addict like myself engaged. While the story had a simple enough Roanoke-style premise, the story itself wasn't the hook that kept me engaged. Mr. Cottam seems to have a gift for fleshing out characters to the point of either loving or hating them. Either way, you are interested in what happens to them. I found myself annoyed at times with the attention given to character over plot, but I can chalk that up to my own impatience at wanting to see how characters at another location were behaving or getting along or dying. While I appreciated this development by the end of the book, fair warning, it can be a little slow for those looking for "'popcorn horror." There is an element of romance, but it is not the center element of the story and doesn't detract from appreciation for the creepy, doomed atmosphere. The ending was supremely satisfying and heroic, especially for a horror novel. I found myself smiling despite the death toll. Again, I can attribute this to character development and the care the author puts into each. The narrator was exceptional, and read so well that the story shined through. I would recommend this to anyone who like horror or adventure. Maybe even romance novels. Occasionally dropped the ball. Where does The Colony rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The reading was excellent. It was the pacing of the story that occasionally fell short. Would you be willing to try another book from F.G. Cottam? Why or why not? Yes. His descriptions were excellent and he knows how to tease out a scene beyond "It was a dark and stormy night.". What about David Rintouls performance did you like? He performed the book, he didn't just read it. The pacing of his reading was outstanding. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I was on the edge of my seat through many parts, but at other times, the writer pulled back and "told" the story rather than "showed" the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/An-Open-Spook-Audiobook/B00I5XX1NW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: cute I like the narrator a lot. the story was cute. and it was fun to listen to. Quick-witted and entertaining What made the experience of listening to An Open Spook the most enjoyable? Because I have listened to many others of the same author and know what to expect. What other book might you compare An Open Spook to and why? Others by E.J. Cooperman are similar in theme and style. What about Amanda Ronconis performance did you like? I always enjoy her narration. It's engaging because she brings out each character's personality, so you always know who's speaking. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and I pretty much did because it was fairly short. Any additional comments? I will keep purchasing these books because I love the characters! Enjoyable entry in series, from new perspective This entry in the series is told from the perspective of Allisen's mother. It's a sort of "look back" tale that covers what went on during previous novels, but is done very well. The mystery this time around was fairly interesting and opened up a bit more of the ghost world for followers of the series. Unlike the other alternate-perspective entry in this series (from Paul's POV), this entry was read by the usual narrator and so characters actually kept their usual voices. That was a relief as I didn't enjoy the differences in the book read by a male. Overall, a short and enjoyable listen. A nice addition to the series Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I loved this book and the series. This one is different because it is told from another characters perspective. I highly recommend this book, but don't miss the others! What did you like best about this story? Besides the fact that its a ghost story, which is fun to begin with, this author writes in a tongue and cheek style that is so fun to read and Ms. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Key-to-Midnight-Audiobook/B0036KJ64C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Koontz it's not If you are a fan of Mary Higgins Clark (a very good writer in her own way) you will love this book. If you are a Koontz fan, you won't. I understood more after hearing the afterword but I was very disappointed, nevertheless. Very Disappointed If you're into adventure/romance novels you will probably like this. I wouldn't have downloaded it if I knew what kind of book it is. I guess it's good for the type of story. It is a rewrite of a 1976 story Koontz wrote. I wish the publisher's note told us that this isn't a typical Koontz book, I feel misled and disappointed. As far as I'm concerned, it was a waste of a credit. Weak 3 stars. It kept my interest, but it wasnt as enjoyable as I had hoped. STORY BRIEF: Joanna left England twelve years ago and now owns and sings in a Japanese nightclub. She has nightmares about being strapped to a bed, injected with substances, and being violated by a man with a metal hand. Alex owns a private investigating firm in the U.S. He was hired twelve years ago to find a missing woman. He sees Joanna while on vacation in Japan and believes Joanna might be that woman. REVIEWERS OPINION: I believe this was the authors first attempt at romantic suspense. It was written in 1979 and renewed/revised in 1995. The romantic part was too schmaltzy for me. Alex meets Joanna, they talk, and suddenly he feels love. He has this need and desire to share his life with her. This was too much too soon. I need more reasonable relationship development. There are several sex scenes. They are briefly referred to with no details, for example They made love together twice. Im not complaining - just informing. Joannas character was the naysayer for Alexs thoughts which became tiring. He would have a premonition or a gut feeling, and she would say something similar to thats just intuition, its not true. When he suggested something about Joannas past, she immediately dismissed it saying thats not true, when she should have said, its possible or I dont know. The result was he was always the smart one. She was always the wrong one. It rubbed me wrong. Maybe I wanted more balance to her - something interesting besides being beautiful and a good singer. One might argue she was weak because she had a past trauma. But so did Alex. He was abused by alcoholic parents. I was annoyed with stupid actions on the part of Alex. Bad guys are following them. Bad guys hurt someone and kill someone else. Yet Alex decides he and Joanna should go after the bad guys alone. He had a lead to a bad guys location. He should have sent a team of armed and skilled undercover investigators. But no, he and Joanna go there alone and something bad happens. Regarding stupidity, I have to say there was a surprise and some justification for it at the end. It was an intellectual justification. But it made the rest of the book frustrating with Alex and Joanna doing stupid things and being victims. NARRATOR: The narrator was Tanya Eby. Too often I felt her interpretations were off. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Visitant-Audiobook/B0147QJ5S0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great love story! This was a great mystery/ghost/love story. I only wish I hadn't already heard it so that I could listen to it again for the first time. Loved it! Very good story! I really enjoyed this story. It had me guessing up till the end. I kind of suspected who the antagonist was ...but, then again it still had me guessing :) The narration was perfect! loved all the characters voices Obvious I have always enjoyed a good ghostly romantic mystery. The setting was intriging and I would have enjoyed more description in the book. For the most part this story was obviously predictable. A good read but I felt the ending could have been more defined and complete unless the aithor was leaving it open for a part II. I was expecting more after the lengthy finale. Thrilling From the beginning, this book grabs you. Throw in death and romance and fights with your own soul of what is right and what is wrong, and what is the right thing to do, and you get one amazing story of lust, love, betrayal, confusion, and a supernatural world. I only finished it to see how it ended. The story was slow and predictable. I listen to tons of audible books. This one will not be a favorite. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Secret-of-Ventriloquism-Audiobook/B06X6BVFXB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret of Ventriloquism to be better than the print version? At this point after the release of Jon Padgett's debut collection it isnt really a question of whether or not you should purchase and read a copy of The Secret of Ventriloquism. If that were a question the answer and therefore the review would be a succinct yes. There is no such thing as a perfect book, The Secret of Ventriloquism however might be a contender for the title if there were such a thing. Everything about Padgetts book beckons the reader to enter its macabre and despairing world. The cover art by Dave Felton is truly creepy. The introduction by Matt Cardin is enticing, flattering and scholarly all at once. Most importantly the stories contained inside are truly marvelous. I have read TheSecret of Ventriloquism about three times now, and listened to it all the way through once. When I first discovered Padgett by reading 20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism in the anthology Grimscribe's Puppets, I was immediately hooked. It soon became apparent to me that Padgett has been quietly moving in the dark corners of the weird fiction world for some time. Running Thomas Ligotti Online, as well as appearing in the wonderful podcast Pseudopod as a narrator. On Pseudopod he narrates both his own stories, and the stories of others. It is these episodes of the podcast that I would often return to while working at my place of employment. I work in a machine shop so Padgetts clear annunciation, and steady pacing is appreciated because it can be heard over the din of the environment. The recording Pseudopod has of 20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism is an instant classic, with record scratches and a deadpan delivery by Padgett. At times Padgetts voice reminds me of the actor Jeffrey Combs. Judging by the quality of his already released work it was a no brainer to pre-order of a copy Jon Padgetts debut collection The Secret of Ventriloquism when it was announced. To those that missed out, the hardcover, illustrated edition was well worth the expense. There is not a single weak story in The Secret of Ventriloquism, every short is a chilling invitation to temporarily inhabit Dunnstown. A bizarre city that has been intruded upon (or created by) a malignant god-like entity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Best-Horror-of-the-Year-Volume-Six-Audiobook/B00TKUYOEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

P. Lovecraft first wrote it at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it remains true at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The only thing that has changed is what is unknown. With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint.

Members Reviews: Great collection of weird horror I have been tearing through Audible's horror anthologies and this was one of the better ones. Definitely worth the listen. fantastic! this collection is my favorite so far! definitely worth it. I want to get all of these! good not great. A lot Lovecraft wannabes but only a few that hit all the right notes it was a good time waster at work though. And while none of these tales will keep me up at night there were a few good chills. Not really horror for me but... ...there were some surprisingly decent stories in this volume. The last story was by far my favorite and I wanted it to continue. Not bad, not bad at all. Well-crafted. A fine collection of stories, dealing with many types of horror from a variety of perspectives. Highly recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Dark-Country-Audiobook/B076LZR5ZN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Though The Dark Country is certainly a decent collection with some good offerings, one of its biggest drawbacks is the high level of praise centered around what is largely an average gathering of short stories. Reading the reviews, one is left with the impression that this is among the finest horror offerings out there. My experience was quite different. Though some stories are well written and delightfully creepy, (It only comes out at Night/Sitting in the Corner, Whimpering Quietly/The Dead Line) most of these works are quite average on the whole. It's hard to fault Etchison for this, however. It is clear that these works are deeply personal and introspective, written more as personal expression and less for simple mass-market entertainment. Dennis Etchison is what he is, for better or worse. If you're in the mood for works that describe deranged and tormented individuals, by all means check out this collection. Just don't expect to find the perfect nightmare. The Celebrated Dark Country is as Dark and Great as Ever Dennis Etchison holds a vaunted place in fantastical literature and Dark Country is where his introductions were made. Like Algernon Blackwood before him, Etchison is master of mood and atmosphere and lets that energy propel many of these tales. Etchison's playground is Southern California, and it's never been so deliciously eerie. Many of the stories might leave the reader thinking about them for days in a "what the hell happened" kind of fugue, but that is, to me, a bonus. Etchison is a smart storyteller and he expects some effort from his reader. While the story The Dark Country is one of the most celebrated stories in the field, all the others are also dark gems. You won't come away from the book with a smile on your face. But you will come away creeped out, and that's a good thing. Creepy Collection The DARK COUNTRY is a great collection of stories that range from the eerily subtle to the memorably disturbing without little-to-no intense gore or excessive violence. The most haunting story for me was the first one, "It Only Comes Out at Night", because I think it sets the tone for the rest of the collection. If you prefer creepy tales of unease, this is collection is a perfect choice. Why horror works better in short form I had never heard of Dennis Etchison before reading this book, but I'm glad I finally discovered him. I've always thought horror worked better in short form. Building dread and tension doesn't feel as effective when you're dealing with the novel format, and it seems Etchison understands this as all of the works I've seen available are short story collections. Not every story in this collection is perfect (what collection is?), but I never found myself wanting to skip ahead or read the stories in a non-linear way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rachel-Leah-Audiobook/B01JVQK3X2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We meet Leah, the oldest daughter of Laban, whose "tender eyes" prevent her from fully participating in the daily work of her nomadic family, and Rachel, the spoiled younger daughter, the petted and privileged beauty of the family - or so it seems to Leah. There is also Bilhah, an orphan who is not quite a slave but not really a family member, and Zilpah, who knows only how to use her beauty to manipulate men as she strives to secure for herself something better than the servitude into which she has been born. Into the desert camp comes Jacob, a handsome and charismatic kinsman destined to be Rachel's husband. But that doesn't prevent the other women from vying for his attention. Tracing their lives from childhood to maturity, Card shows how these women change each other - and are changed again by the holy books that Jacob brings with him. Ambition, jealousy, fear, and love motivate them as they vie for the attention of Jacob, heir to the spiritual birthright of Abraham and Isaac. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Orson Scott Card) Tue, 09 Aug 2016 05:21:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rachel-Leah-Audiobook/B01JVQK3X2 thebookvoice.com 10:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Excellent book and very well read. Orson Scott card is a writer across more than one genre. He blends here great characters with theological arguments that are easy to follow and not in the least tedious. The story itself is well worth following.

Jake Bible's Dead Mech: The future may not be completely dead, but it's on its way... Members Reviews: A new Twist to an Old Story Jake Bible has become one of my favourite authors. First he got me hooked on his 'Z Burbia' series which is my favourite in the zombie genre. But now I discover his 'Dead Mech' series. I'm not sure which one he wrote first, but the Dead Mech series is a much better read than a audio book. The narrator just has too many voices, to many characters to do on her own. This would have been much better with multiple narrators. However, in saying that I still loved the audible version! It delivered with enough interesting ideas to keep me glued. The story is a long one, over 16 hours. This seems to be rather unusual now days. Even more unusual was that the speed of the narration was not really able to be sped up any more than 1.25x speed without making it difficult to listen too. So you do really get your money's worth in terms of $per/hour. [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] Great story... Great writer... Ruined by Narrator This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Deaf people who can't read in beta. What did you like best about this story? The story, plot, writing were EXCELLENT. Kudos to the author!!! Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Julie Hoverson? ANYBODY. Bobcat Goldthwaite? Fingernails on a chalkboard? Etc etc etc What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Annoyance... If the story wasn't so good I wouldn't have tolerated the crappy and completely inappropriate narrator. Who picked this incompetent barely literate verbal butcher? Any additional comments? This narrator had two or three characterizations- Inappropriately inflected bimbo who made everything sound like a trampy pick up line designed to flirt... Screeching lifelong smoker who was constantly trying to keep diarrhea at bay... And a dim witted sounding male and female voice. Even using effects on her voice (which many REAL voice artists DONT) it still sucked out loud with a megaphone. This lady shouldn't be allowed to read to prisoners for fear of a civil rights violation. Cruel and unusual punishment that they paid for with time and I blew a credit when I should have read beta... Too terrified to see if they made the same talent mistake on the next book, but I'm enthralled with the story. In itself is genius, unfortunately killed by the narrator. Oye... Written by the personification of ADD Chapter structure is insane and the narrator acts as if she hates her job. A good concept with horrible execution. An embarrassment from all angles. Comic Book Story The story itself is a comic book "What If?" combination of Mech and Zombies. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/13-Bullets-Audiobook/B003B2WCZA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(B. H. Fingerman, author of Bottomfeeder) Members Reviews: HER LARYNX ROTTED AWAY YEARS AGO THE POLICEMAN'S HEAD CAME WITH IT. This is a vampire masterpiece, a sleeper, a character driven classic. This book was published in 2007 and took some reviewer hits because the main character is a lesbian. The recording was made in 2010. That was only six years ago, but it seems gayness was more disturbing to some, more than heads being cut off, humans being eaten alive, half deads killing people and vampires. IF YOUR DONE PISSING ON MY SHOES. SHE WAS GETTING USED TO BEING SCARED The story starts right off with the action, with one of the best beginnings to any book I have ever read. It gave me PROUD FLESH. These are not good looking ripped or beautiful vampires. These are bald headed, shark teethed vampires. There is a lot of action, but also character building. I thought the whole thing was smartly done. PSYCHIC SELF DEFENSE There is about a two to three hour lag in the late middle. There is some paranormal activity. There is a sort of dreamy scene. I could have done without some of that, but it is a small part of the whole. I used to live in Pennsylvania and part of the country where this takes place, but I had never heard of PennsylTucky before, but I know what the author is talking about. HE'S STILL IN MY HEAD Wellington does a great job of showing how vampires manipulate people and how they get into your head. WE WANT YOU TO KILL YOURSELF. Don't let the cover hold you back. I almost did that and I almost did that with Patient Zero, which turned out to be one of my favorite books. Zombie fans should enjoy this book. Waste of time. Could not finish this book. David Wellington's Overwinter and Frostbite were great. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hide-Me-Among-the-Graves-Audiobook/B00GS3WYEI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Hide Me Among the Graves Author: Tim Powers Narrator: Fiona Hardingham Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Winter 1862, London. Adelaide McKee, a former prostitute, arrives on the doorstep of veterinarian John Crawford, a man she met once seven years earlier. Their brief meeting produced a child who, until now, had been presumed dead. McKee has learned that the girl lives - but that her life and soul are in mortal peril from a vampiric ghost. But this is no ordinary spirit; the bloodthirsty wraith is none other than John Polidori, the onetime physician to the mad, bad, and dangerous Romantic poet Lord Byron. Both McKee and Crawford have mysterious histories with creatures like Polidori, and their child is a prize the malevolent spirit covets dearly. Polidori is also the late uncle and supernatural muse to poet Christina Rossetti and her brother, painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. When she was just fourteen, Christina unwittingly brought Polidori's curse upon her family. But the curse bestowed unexpected blessings as well, inspiring both Christina and Gabriel's work. But when Polidori resurrects Dante's dead wife - turning her into a vampire - and threatens other family members, Christina and Dante agree they must destroy their monstrous uncle and break the spell, even if it means the end of their creative powers. Determined to save their daughter, McKee and Crawford join forces with the Rossettis, and soon these wildly mismatched allies are plunged into a supernatural London underworld whose existence goes beyond their wildest imaginings. Ultimately, each of these disparate individuals - the sensitive poet, the tortured painter, the straitlaced animal doctor, the reformed prostitute, and even their Artful Dodger - like young daughter - must choose between the banality and constraints of human life and the unholy immortality that Polidori offers. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Tim Powers) Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:52:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hide-Me-Among-the-Graves-Audiobook/B00GS3WYEI thebookvoice.com 17:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One More Mortal Sin What do you want from a sequel? Comfort? More of the same? Or simply a continuation? A further exploration that goes somewhere different? There isn't one right or wrong answer. Sometimes it's one thing, sometimes it's something else, sometimes it's a mixture. Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves falls into the latter category - there are similarities to its predecessor, but it is also very much its own book. You should know upfront that Tim Powers The Stress of Her Regard is one of (if not my all time) favorite vampire books of all time. It was one of the first things I reviewed here, and it unlike any other vampire story Id ever read. What was terrifying about it wasnt just the inhuman vampires (though they were), but the way it examined the notions of the muse, as well as success and the arts. It remains to this day one of the most frightening books I've read. Hide Me Among the Graves includes vampires, and some minor characters return, but its much more of a dark fantasy adventure than it is dark fantasy horror. It's Doctor Sleep to The Shining. There is plenty of spookiness afoot in séances, ghosts cursed to swim the Thames, and spiritualism. But it never achieves the shocking horror awful lusts of The Stress of Her Regard. Its almost like the second half of Dracula, where Van Helsing organizes Jonathan Harker, Dr. Seward, and the rest of the gang to go a vampire-hunting. Theres danger, but its matched with humor and excitement. Its also features much more of an ensemble. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Killer-Lolis-Audiobook/B078MN9WJF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I almost stopped listening to this book a few chapters in, because it seemed to start out too slowly. Eventually, however, I was caught up in the story, which built to a high level of mystery and suspense, with a satisfactory conclusion. I'm not sure where the next book in the trilogy will take the story, but I will probably listen to it when it is added to audible.com. Gays and Vietnam Vets This should not be listed under Horror. Your in the book four hours before you even meet the bad guy and then only briefly. After about six hours the story starts to pick up, but not well enough for me to stick with it. I made it over seven hours. I am about five years to young for the Vietnam War. I remember it on the t.v. when I was in grade school and wondered why gorillas where fighting in Asia. There is a lot about gays and transvestites. The story probably moves to slow even for the groups it is meant for to enjoy. A Decent Book In Need of a Much Harsher Editor I generally like Straub's work, although he has been known to lard on the back story far more than necessary. As some of the other reviewers have already pointed out, Straub does this in Koko as well, though I found the back story itself, much of which consists of flashbacks to the experiences of various characters in Vietnam, to be interesting in its own right. I did not find these flashbacks hard to follow, though I could see how some readers might. However, I hit the point about a third or so into the book when I started wondering whether there would ever be anything resembling suspense in it. There is some suspense, especially toward the end of the book, but Straub has done far better both by himself (Floating Dragon, for instance) and in collaboration with Stephen King. The narrator was solid, but he lacked gravitas, and his emphasis in reading certain sentenses simply did not fit the context very well. All in all, I would recommend this book with some reservations to those who can listen at double speed or faster, so that the first seven or so hours take closer to four. Very Un-Straub like! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The story was far too slow. I realize a 20+ hour book will most likely have a fairly lengthy "character building" time but, unfortunately, this book took that to new extremes. Patrick Lawlor did a great job of trying to give life to something that arrived DOA. Straub should be ashamed of himself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Only-the-Light-We-Make-Audiobook/B06W9K8J4Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I authored the final story in this Anthology, so I will not be commenting on that. However, since I had not read any of the other stories until this release, I feel it is fair for me to review the anthology as a whole. Other than Chris Philbrook and James Dean, this was the first time I have read (listened to) any of the other Authors. They did such a fantastic job throwing their own spin into the AUD series. I really enjoyed them and it felt like an expansion of an already well developed world. If you havent read the AUD series, you probably wont understand some parts of the stories (like why people have weird dreams). Im counting on most people have, though. Some of the stories indirectly affected the actual AUD storyline, while others were their own little spin somewhere else, affecting people you have never met. One specific story Id like to point out is Chriss story Only a few miles to home. As a veteran, it is nice to see someone shed some light on PTSD. Episodes can be set off by one thing, or a conglomerate of things. Thank you, Chris, for that story. James Foster did an outstanding job as usual. I was super giddy when he did Redemption and nailed the African accent. It was awesome! Try it. Enjoy it. And check out the authors that participated in this fantastic Anthology! J.D. Demers Only the light we make I loved these shorts from Adrians world!We need more!James Foster narrates all voices wonderfully.I may have been provided this book by the author,narrator or publisher...or I may have purchased it.I can no longer remember.lol What a great compilation! Another phenomenal book that tells more stories that take place at the same time as Adrian's. Some of these directly affect him, while others simply stand alone. Although each story in itself is great, I would highly recommend reading the complete AUD series first. Awesome Read Loved this book. Awesome read and Chris's writing style is spot on and always original. Good narration and stories Any additional comments? Exceptional narration of many good author's works. Good anthology of the AUD . Enjoyable stories. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fatal-Error-Audiobook/B00FZYTSGI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Otherness Attacks The Internet If you could sum up Fatal Error in three words, what would they be? I will use 3 compound words here: Gut-Wrenching Fast-Paced Jack-Centric What did you like best about this story? The kidnapping plotline was exceptionally gripping. Have you listened to any of Christopher Prices other performances before? How does this one compare? I have. My complaint about Mr.. Price is that his accents tend to be mostly the same.Southern red-neck drawl, fairly generic average person, and some unknown stilted sounding accent that is used to convey Russian, Italian, Arabic, and undetermined accents. They all sound exactly alike to me. Who was the most memorable character of Fatal Error and why? Jack, who gets shine in this book. Less about what the bad guys are doing and more about what Jack is doing. Any additional comments? A nice change from the last couple books that were very bad-guy centric. This time we see almost all of it from Jack's side. I did not realize how much I missed that. Recommended.But be aware that the kidnapping plotline is pretty graphic/violent. (However you do end up with a large smile when the kidnapper see's his interrogator.) great progress the story has grown so much ,now close to the end of the series its getting better and better RJ and his team This is one of my favorites. The whole team works together. Can't wait for the next one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dark-Shadows-Series-11-The-House-of-Despair-Audiobook/B013633MLQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Classic Lovecraft Lovecraft's mind is a wonder. Can anyone explain it? Napoleon Herriot has the perfect voice and demeanor to deliver the inexplicable. I love hp Lovecraft he is one of the greats loved it I think everyone should read this or listen to it 3 or 4 times Good Story, Though Poorly Narrated I'm a true lover of ghost stories, both the old and the new, but I found this audiobook to fall flat and really kill what could have been an exciting tale. I chalk that up to the British narrator who speaks too quickly, and in a monotone voice. My recommendation would be to slow his voice down if your media player offers that option. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Limbus-Inc-Book-III-Audiobook/B01N4MSGX5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Confusing tale or two The very last story (barring the main story that continues throughout) was hard to follow in an audio format. I feel that the Jane/Mason/etc. Multiverse thing would have been easier to follow in print. I found myself rewinding and playing again many times during that tale. Not that great... I normally like the Limbus series, but this book was not particularly interesting. Most of the stories were difficult to follow and after the first couple, the narrator became distracting. not bad but not the best overall a good book, I think my only complaint is the performance could have been much better. I felt like the reader lacked a bit in his portrayal of some of the characters. I went most of a story not knowing the lead was a female. 3rd time wasn't a charm... A lackluster end to an otherwise great trilogy. The only stand out was Maberry's continued story of Sam the werewolf. That would be a great series in itself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Neverland-Audiobook/B00F6CCOAG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Creeped out for weeks!!!--New favourite!!! This book deserves as much praise as I can possibly give it! Clegg delivered everything I love in a good horror novel and remained entirely unique and creative, offering something refreshingly different for the genre. Clegg probably has one of the BEST dark imaginations I've ever had the pleasure of reading and I simply cannot get enough! (I bought his other book, "Hallowe'en Man" immediately after I finished this one!) This story is a coming of age tale about Beau, a twelve-year-old boy visiting his grandmother's summer retreat off the coast of Georgia. During his stay he spends time with his disturbed, maniacal cousin Sumter who invites him to join in a dark union of worship involving a derelict shack in the woods, a crate, and what lay inside the crate...something that calls itself "Lucy." (If you aren't already wondering how a concept as aberrant as this plays out I'd be surprised!) Well, lucky for you its as deliciously satisfying as it is perturbed. In terms of plot, this was most surely a RIVETING read and I couldn't put it down! The more I read the more engaged I became, needing to know what the #$%^@! is in that shack?! Is it real?! Is it going to hurt him?!...Oh God...its breathing on him in the dark...its not human...what IS it?!?!?! I'm telling you that the story and ideas behind this entire concept could only have been derived by the mind of a creative genius---its a gripping mystery that unfolds flawlessly into a full-fleged nightmare. The images and events that played out had me totally unnerved and trust me, I read so much horror that that excitement almost never happens anymore! Keep in mind however, that this no "popcorn horror" novel so if you're expecting a lot of action and enjoy a lot of violence/gore you probably won't find it here...this is a different kind of scary so its more like a psychological build-up of suspense & mystery of the unknown with explosive plot twists and a wicked finale. Aside from the tantalizing plot, I fell in love with Clegg's characters and writing style and credit his ability to bring this story to life. The believable characters made me entirely reminiscent of my own childhood days and reminded me of how blissful, pure and innocent youth is supposed to be. It is because of the purity and innocence of childhood that the stark contrast of evil seeping into their lives becomes truly horrific. There are things that children should just never do...but there are no limits in Neverland. In terms of content I will warn that events and images are sometimes of a disturbing and graphic nature so this book isn't for the faint of heart. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Wolfen-Audiobook/B00PHF7GF0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Classic Narrated Wonderfully by Robert Fass Imagin being a cop on a call and being attacked by dogs. These aren't any or ordinary dogs, these dogs are Wolfen. And they don't just bite they tear your body to pieces leaving only blood and body parts behind. Now your a detective assigned to investigate the murder of your fellow officers. How would you explain the Wolfen? Could you? They know your scent and are tracking you. What is your move. That is the story behind Whitley Strieber's Wolfen Narrated expertly by Robert Fass. This Audiobook is a captivating listen from start to finish and kept me intrigued as to what would happen next. This audiobook is available on Audible.com I received this audiobook from the Narrator for an honest review. Non stop action The narrative in this book keeps you wanting to know what's next. The best book I've heard so far. Different. This is my first time reading this and it was not at all what I expected!! The story is about 2 police officers who stumble upon an age old secret that is intent on keeping it a secret any way they can!! Initially I thought this was about the typical werewolves but it's not and I think because I went into this having not read the blurb nor any reviews, is why I ended up enjoying it so much. Anyway, this is a well written (for it's time) and entertaining story. I loved how it was told from the Police officers and the Wolfen's POV. It was eerie being inside their heads! It is also quite a gorey book but I've read worse! If you want a unique werewolf read and one that will keep your attention throughout, then this is one you should try. Robert Fass was really good. He nailed the tenseness of certain situations and had me biting my nails waiting to see what happened! Brilliant early work from supremo Whitley Strieber Engaging from the start, with a brilliant performance from narrator Robert Fass, this story belies the encounters with unknown presences that were to later shape much of this writer's career. A masterful horror work, if this could be conveyed with the same distinction into film it would be an instant classic, like the book itself surely is. clever, fiendish werewolves... If you like werewolves then this one is for you, these werewolves are very cunning and the story is pretty brisk from the very start, while it will not go down in history as a 5-star work of Brilliance it is a good listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Never-Forgotten-Audiobook/B00DHKFKOG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Murder By Narrator The Mary O'Reilly series is fun, and I'd hoped the audiobooks would be perfect for road trip listening. But I'm abandoning that hope and will finish Book 3 in Kindle edition. I'm sure Erin Spencer is a perfectly nice person, but her narration is unbearable. Her use of glottal fry ("croaky throat") to signal a male voice, coupled with her habit of pausing for several beats before adding "s/he said" after each sentence of dialogue has finally become too distracting; Mary & Bradley will have to carry on without me listening. Can I say WOW I love this series What did you love best about Never Forgotten? I have to say I have enjoy this series so much. I can not wait to listen to the next one. I love how the stories always leave you guessing. Terri Reid is a talented writer and Erin Spencer is a wonderful Narrator. I hope we do not have to wait to long to see what happen next and I do hope we learn more about some of the behind the scene stories about a few of the other members of the story as we did in this last one. SAVE YOUR CREDITS - Series keeps getting worse I like the idea of the series - not too deep, a little romance and - initially - a bit of humor. But after the first book - Good Tidings - it went down hill. Poor character development, insipid dialogue, predictable plot. The narrator got worse, and worse. Her male voices were creepy and the "chuckles" were weird. Really annoying. SPOILER ALERT!!! With the end of the second book, Loose Ends, I figured I'd get the third one just to see what happens with the missing wife. BUT OF COURSE, the writer keeps that story line going unresolved. I skipped to the end to see if (REALLY?) she's going to pull that ploy and sure enough.... poor stupid Mary has to keep what she knows a secret from poor stupid Bradley. I did not bother with finishing. I have listened to literally hundreds of Audible Books and seldom write reviews. This is not the worse book or the worse narrator I've listened to but maybe the most annoying. Yes, I liked the book. I will finish the series, but I have a question. How can a ghost have physical contact with something? Why would you agree to a ghost being your backup? At one point a ghost hands Mary something she needs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Flip-This-Zombie-Audiobook/B007P4E2EY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "[A] cute and gory sequel to September 2010's Married with Zombies." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A wonderful follow-up! (no spoilers) What did you love best about Flip This Zombie? I went into this audiobook expecting a shoot-em-up with nothing more than "jobs" completed, and a little plot relating to the couples marriage, given the first book. What I got was that and so much more. Without spoiling it, I'll just say that Sarah and David end up doing a lot more than killing zombies and bonding. This series is a refreshing addition to the zombie genre, and I'd recommend it to all those who seek rotting corpses getting their butts kicked (though I imagine kicking zombies in the butt would just be squishy and gross; I recommend aiming for the head)! Awful book. This book is horrible, and I do not know why I read the first three in the series. The mediocre, predictable story is made worse in the telling. The character telling the story from a first-person perspective is one of the worst persons I ever met in real life or literature. This woman is immature, spoiled, obnoxious, and unrepentant of her bad behavior. She learns nothing and grows not an inch through the adversity. She thinks little of her reader/listener and constantly implies we are spoiled children who just don't know how good we have it because we do not live in a post-apocalyptic world. The performance is marginal and the editor failed to remove a misread sentence in the third book. I will not listen to further books in this series, and I do not recommend it. As good as the first one!! Any additional comments? I can't think of any way this book could be improved. I guess that says it all. Can't wait for the next one in the series!!! excellent book surprising and intense still have funny moments and like the first book no sex which is nice when I have a 15 daughter who likes to listen with me. this is still a while new plot , same characters and basic layout but this next leg of their journey is totally different, the characters grown and learn while maintaining who they are in their core. it's easy to get swept up and hard to figure out what's going to happen next (and that rarely happens for me while I'm reading any book) NOT how to survive in any apocLypse, ever, anywher plot requires protagnist IQ 100 or less. idea fair, Major struggle to finish.NEEDS REWRITE D- https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Warrior-Within-Audiobook/B00EAY9NH8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Surviving the Dead I: No Easy Hope Surviving the Dead II: This Shattered Land Surviving the Dead III: Warrior Within Members Reviews: Why change? Would you be willing to try another one of Jordan Leighs performances? No. Can someone please explain to me why the narrator is changed in the middle of a successful series. By the third book readers are accustomed to, and, if they are listening to the third book, satisfied with the narration of first two. You get comfortable with the narrators voices and cadence and connect the characters with the narration. As I have previously experienced with the Sigma Force series, the replacement narrator for this series cannot hold a candle to the previous narrator, Guy Williams. The voices are forced and without emotion. The lead character, Eric, is now shallow and almost unrecognizable. If another book is offered I hope that the author and publisher have the sense to go back to Guy Williams and beg him to resume narrating the series and perhaps rerecord this one. It would be an excellent addition to the series if not for the narration. surprisingly good Did Jordan Leigh do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? jordan leigh is a new narrator. he does a pretty good job differentiating the characters; however, my biggest caveat of the story is how he narrates steve. i kept thinking of those cheesey gov't sponsored voice overs from the movie starship troopers. jordan's portrayal of steve is too cartoony. another reviewer, greg, says jordan's portrayal of gabe is kind of like batman. i agree, but i got used to it. the new narrator isn't bad, but i did ding that part of my rating one star. Any additional comments? why do i say "surprisingly good?" at the end of book 2, you kind of get the idea that the story is going to take a turn - a turn away from battling with zombies to clashing with another group of survivors. as a zombie junkie, i wasn't sure if i was going to like the change in plot. after finishing the story, i can safely say that i think this is the best book in the series. at the end of book 2, eric and gabe run into steve, the green beret eric met and didn't really get along with in book 1. steve offers them refuge in hollow rock and treatment for eric's gunshot wound, but they need to trade something in return. elizabeth, the mayor, wants them to train some of the citizens of hollow rock so they can defend themselves against the free legion, another group of survivors who've been looting all of the other towns. as book 3 opens, 6 weeks have passed and eric and gabe are training a group of volunteers. i was worried that this would be cliche and boring, but it ended up actually being interesting and exciting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Baal-Audiobook/B00EHUP8AQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Baal Author: Robert McCammon Narrator: Ray Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-10-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 195 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: AudioFile Best Voices - Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Audio Theater, 2014 Baal was Robert McCammon's first novel, a debut that would lead to some of the finest popular fiction of our time. Written at the age of 25 and published as a paperback original in 1978, it has been out of print for years. This deluxe new audio edition from Subterranean Press will give McCammon's many fans both newcomers and longtime fans - the opportunity to trace the development of an extraordinarily talented man. The story begins with a horrific rape on the streets of New York City. Nine months after that violation, a most unusual child is born. His name is Jeffrey Harper Raines, but he quickly assumes his true name - and true purpose - as Baal, a new incarnation of the ancient prince of demons. The narrative recounts his lethal progress through the 20th century, which begins with the destruction of his earthly "family". From there, Jeffrey/Baal moves to a doomed Catholic orphanage, where he unleashes carnage on an unprecedented scale, then out into the wider world, where he embraces his destiny as the Prophet of the Damned, generating a legacy of chaos, violence, and despair. Baal is very much a young man's story, raw and brimming with emotion. Listen closely and you'll hear the voice of a gifted storyteller struggling to be born. In 1980, the career that would encompass Swan Song, Boy's Life, and The Five still lay waiting several years down the road. This is where it began. Critic Reviews: "This chilling horror storyis truly terrifying Ray Porter deserves kudos for his portrayals of the two main characters Porter's true accomplishment is giving voice to the demonic Baal, whose voice is something between speech and a growl. This is not a book to listen to in the dark."

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Excellent Story Robert McCammon was 25 years old when he wrote this novel in 1979 and it is obvious that he was and is tremendously talented. I remember seeing Baal in the bookstore,but I was in college at the time and didn't have time for fiction. The writing is engaging the story moves along at good pace and keeps the reader interested. The sex and violence in the book is more of a punctuation to the story and is not the focus of the work. At first I thought the writing might be dated, but found that it was some of the best writing I can remember ever reading. I was concerned how date it might be as it was written before the internet and cell phones, which make up so much of our daily lives today, but the writing was so superb that I didn't really notice. I spent a delightful weekend with this book and it was worth every moment. I would highly recommend this book. Ray Porter did a great job with narration. Better than the Exorcist Movie!!! Old school book Robert McCammon wrote this book in 1978 his first and its great.This book reminds me of Exorcist,Rosemary's Baby and The Omen!!!! Baal should have been named Damien.LOL, Intense from start to finish Baal is a bad dude the Prince of Darkness.If you liked Swan Song like me you must read the book you will love it.. It's a first work Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes. My first introduction to McCammon was "Stinger" It's kind of fun to go back and see the earlier work Any additional comments? Baal was definately a first work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Shivers-Audiobook/B078WX7GF8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One Star deleted it Good Reading There are all kinds of weird and unexpected things to find out there if you know where to look. Kristine was so brave in âNight of the Vampire.â I liked seeing how she pieced all of the clues together about what was really going on in Darscadia. What I liked even more than that, though, was seeing how quickly she came up with a plan once she figured out what she was dealing with. She was such a smart main character. While I donât know if Ms. Beck is planning to write a sequel about her adventures, Iâd be interested in finding out what happens to Kristine next if the author does write one. My favorite story in this collection was âLong Live the Bonsai.â It was such a creative read, especially once I finished the first scene or two and the characters started to get to know each other better. Their conversations were often hilarious. I also liked seeing how Caddy and Cody reacted to the strange, little Bonsai tree once they realized that it wasnât an ordinary plant. It was the same way I would have reacted in that situation! There were certain things about âThe Wildest Westâ that I never quite understood. While I liked the fast-paced and exciting storyline, the time travel sections in it werenât explained well. I would have loved to know more about how that idea in this universe and why the characters seemed to be able to do it so easily. It was such an important part of the plot that I expected the narrator to spend a lot more time talking about it than they did. The conflict between Erin and Dustin in âCurses Never Dieâ was handled well. I could understand both of their opinions about what they should do with the diamond. Seeing why they thought the way the did was a big part of why I enjoyed this story so much. Both of them stayed true to their personalities, and that made it really interesting to see how they reacted to what happened later on in the plot. Shivers was scary in a fun way. Iâd recommend it to anyone who likes being frightened. originally posted at long and short reviews https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunting-of-Winchester-Mansion-Book-2-Audiobook/B072JG8VLK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: "The Haunting of Winchester Mansion;" Final Chapter; No Cliffhanger; A Clean-Language Ghost Story for the Whole Family *** LANGUAGE *** Except for a single utterance of the s-word, this is a book with no profanities. It probably would be rated G. Since this is the conclusion of the trilogy, and since I already posted fairly detailed reviews of the previous two books, I will keep this short and sweet. This is an excellent, engaging read that many people, young and old, will find a fun read. The flow and editing are superb. I have only one slight negative comment. If the writer could now take all three books, combine them into a single story (not as a boxed set), and republish as a single title, I would give that version five stars. It would be better for my Kindle directory. Oh, also, I encourage the author to release an Audbible version. Here are links to the first two books in the series: Book 0The Haunting of Winchester Mansion: Book 0 Book 1The Haunting of Winchester Mansion: Book 1 Bottom Line Four stars out of five. Comments regarding your opinion of this book or of my review, whether favorable or unfavorable, are always welcome. If you buy the book based on my review and become disappointed, especially, I do want to know that and I want to understand how I can improve as a book reviewer. Just please be polite. Thank you. The Haunting of Winchester Mansion - A hauntingly good read Add a couple of stars for a very satisfying end to a ghostly good story. I don't do spoilers, so if you want to know what I'm talking about, read all three of The Haunting of Winchester Mansion books. They build the story bit-by-bit, each one building on the one before. Don't worry about the sexual content - it's only between a man and his wife and it is far from explicit; it always ends with fade to black feelings. Grab this wonderfully haunting trio of books that tell the story of The Haunting of Winchester Mansion. A Well Written Mystery Ghost Story Too Good To Miss I read all three books in this series. Each and every one was a winner. The story is interesting, well written, and the characters are people who you would like in your life. I liked the books so much that I bought books for my friends. My friends shared my love of the series. This book, as well as the other books in this series, is well written by a master story teller. To really enjoy the complete story, one must start with Book Zero and continue through Books one and two. It is a true reading adventure. Great Book I loved this book! I couldn't Wait to turn the page to see what would happen next. It was a fun ghost story, good verses evil not dark at all. I started with the first book then second and looking forward to reading more books written by this author. Great trilogy! If you like mystery and paranormal together, then read this trilogy. I enjoyed getting to read the three books detailing the life of the Taylor family. Three very good easy reads, alot of imagination. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Cask-of-Amontillado-Audiobook/B00GUO0JAG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Cask of Amontillado Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 17 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: One of Edgar Allan Poes most chilling short stories finds the starkly Machiavellian protagonist, Montresor, proudly recounting how he used his friend Fortunados affinity for fine wine as a duplicitous method for exacting revenge for the unspecified "thousand injuries" he had inflicted upon him in this engrossing audiobook expertly performed by William Roberts, whose unflinching and deeply committed portrayal of the pathologically prideful narrator elevates Poes exploration of the darkest crevices of human nature. 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.

Title: The Cask of Amontillado Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 17 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: One of Edgar Allan Poes most chilling short stories finds the starkly Machiavellian protagonist, Montresor, proudly recounting how he used his friend Fortunados affinity for fine wine as a duplicitous method for exacting revenge for the unspecified "thousand injuries" he had inflicted upon him in this engrossing audiobook expertly performed by William Roberts, whose unflinching and deeply committed portrayal of the pathologically prideful narrator elevates Poes exploration of the darkest crevices of human nature.

Owned by the enigmatic Elizabeth von Stein, the mansion is full of mysteries and unexplained oddities: dead bodies in the basement, secret passages, and fortune-tellers who seem to know Juliet's secrets. Though it appears to be a safe haven, Juliet fears new dangers may be present within the manor's own walls. Then she uncovers the truth about the manor's long history of scientific experimentation - and her own intended role in it - forcing her to determine where the line falls between right and wrong, life and death, magic and science, and promises and secrets. And she must decide if she'll follow her father's dark footsteps or her mother's tragic ones, or whether she'll make her own.

I'm going back to book one and listen to the whole thing again! ! Too Short, and just the conclusion end of Book 5. This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? great short story, the author kept your attention with the kid zombies but this book was just the conclusion of book 5. At times it seem rush to fit inside of its 5 hour time frame, the author should have give more like his first few books... Which character as performed by Graham Halstead was your favorite? Great work Graham, your voice of multi-people are on point. Any additional comments? I am waiting to listen to the next book in this series, I just hope the author go back to telling a complete story rather than break one story into several books...this my last 5 hour zombie story I feel I paid for three books to hear one story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Blood-Redemption-Audiobook/B0189G8NWS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One of the best books I have ever read!!! If you could sum up Blood Redemption in three words, what would they be? Holy Hell Twister Who was your favorite character and why? Saber, he had so much against him, yet he trys. What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings everything and everyone to life! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Cried for Saber and his parents. Any additional comments? Saber Alexiares is from the house of Jaegar- Dark Ones. Cursed to only walk at night , drink blood and kill, bearing children with the woman dying a most horrendous death. Caught by the house of Jadon and sentenced to die by Sunlight. But he does not die. He is the missing infant 800 years prior. Stolen by Damien and raised with no conscious. Child to Rafael and Lorna Dzuna house of Jadon. Can he overcome 800 years of living as Dark One? Let go of his anger? Nothing worth having is easy, as all are about to have to come to terms with. Vanya Demir is one of The Originals. One of two who saw what had transpired to cause the curse. She is Pure of Light. Working in Romania on the old magic , she decides to visit her sister and her nephew. Once there, the Sky revealed Serpens Blood Moon and that she is Saber's Destiny. They have 30 days to convert Vanya and for her to bear him twins or he dies a most horrendous death. But no one not even Vanya wants to get close to the monster in the cell who would kill her with no remorse. Can her pure white light reach him before it is to late or will Saber come to terms with his origins, being from the house of Jadon. If you are looking for a light book to read this book is not for you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/West-of-Hell-Omnibus-Edition-Audiobook/B00JGXW5KU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Zombie Western? Would you try another book from Jason Brant and/or Robert Martinez? Yes I would give this combination another go. When the story was a little ordinary, Martinez was able to carry it through. I would say that with most Martinez narrated books the speed can easily be increased to 1.25x and 1.5x so if you were after a 13hour long story you might be disappointed. Would you be willing to try another book from Jason Brant? Why or why not? After reading the first part in this omnibus I would have said 'no way would I waste money on another Jason Brant book'. But then the story took off! The last two thirds of this book was great and I couldn't put it down. The ending was a surprise, and left me wanting more story. Despite the first part being a bit of a chore, the narration was good enough to keep me going. In the future I would happily exchange my hard earned cash for any book from Jason Brant as long as it had a top narrator like Robert Martinez or a R C Bray. Perhaps my thoughts and feelings about the start of the story might have been influenced by the fact that I had just finished listening to 'Torment' by Jeremy Bishop which is 'unique' in the zombie world! Perhaps I was comparing and contrasting them too much rather than taking 'West of Hell' on its own merit. Did Robert Martinez do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The story really has two main characters, Karen a prostitute and McCall a good guy outlaw. Martinez doesn't try to narrate in a woman's voice (which is a relief) He does however change his voice for McCall's voice. In that he does an excellent job! Did West of Hell Omnibus Edition inspire you to do anything? The story certainly did not inspire me to do anything. But I don't think it ever was an intention of the story. Any additional comments? I am little concern at how many books I am now purchasing which can easily be sped up in speed to 1.5x without any problems. It certainly makes a bit of a mockery of the actual listening time given for any title surprisingly good Which character as performed by Robert Martinez was your favorite? the narration was great. martinez's portrayal of madd dog mccall was believable and authentic. he sounded gruff and tough as expected of an infamous wanted man. i was brought into the old west by his performance. Any additional comments? the old west meets zombies...i wasn't too sure about that mix of genres, but i decided to give it a shot, and i'm glad i did! at first i was thinking...mad dog mccall, the infamous outlaw? ok. kind of cheesey and cliche. but what you end up with is a great character with a lot of depth. i was surprised by his back story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Beast-of-Barcroft-Audiobook/B01MRDVX4F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health.

Now, as a devilish creature stalks the locals, Ben resolves to take action. With some grudging assistance from a curator at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and the crackpot theories of a self-styled cryptozoologist, he discovers the sinister truth behind the attacks, but knowing the Beast of Barcroft and stopping it are two different animals.

Critic Reviews: "[A] swift and breezy suburban creature feature." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Just Bearable This author was really pissed off at women when he wrote this book. He makes every female character appear either selfish and self-centered or whining and definitely stupidly angry. The story is OK and the narrator is very good. I recommend this audiobook but be warned about all the female characters. A wonderful surprise when I got this book I was expecting an average"monster" book. the fact that it was was also apparently the author's first novel did not inspire me either. I was very happily surprised. the story moved quickly and kept me guessing all along. the characters were authentic and believable. in fact, I immediately bought the author's second novel and preordered the third. in short, I very much enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it. Beast and Northwoods These comments address two audiobooks by Bill Schweigart released by Tantor Audio in late 2016. The Beast of Barcroft is about seven hours in length, Northwoods just over ten. Both are narrated by Will Damron. Didnt like: Narration is laboriously slow, ergo set Audible application to 1.5 - normal speed, in addition to Damrons soft voice, will put you to sleep regardless of scary moments. Although theres little trouble discerning who-is-speaking-to-who, there isnt a uniqueness to voices. They all sound similar, male/female. Plots are not very creative. In Beasts, an unknown, but scary, creature is terrifying a small town and good guys figure it out. In Northwoods, the same batch of good guys save the day again from an equally scary creature. Liked: The hide-under-the-covers moments. If you like the horror story genre, these fit the bill - shape-shifting, ferocious coyotes and wolves and hyenas, bloody zombies, glowing-eyes traverse the pages. Action scenes are exciting. That said, some imagery is a bit confusing. The literary visions of Schweigart leave the reader to imagine quite a bit. In the horror genre, sometimes this isnt all bad. The books are not identified as a series - although they should be; there is no doubt you should read Beasts first. There is also no doubt there will be subsequent novels, as book two - Northwoods - ends abruptly with the line Were going to Jersey. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Ghosts-of-Kali-Oka-Road-Audiobook/B0788F1P49 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As in Endurance, Afraid and Trapped the horror is extreme, but unlike these books, we get a good look at the characters in this one. In parts this is a police procedural and the characters are fleshed out much better than any other Konrath I have read. I particularly liked the main character who is a detective with a bad credit rating. His girlfriend is not real understanding of the time he must spend at his job, and they have decisions to make about their relationship and their careers. THE CHOICES YOU MAKE, NOT THE CONDITIONS YOU WERE BORN WITH There are actually some deep thoughtful situations discussed, including Intersex. Konrath also gets a little political about drugs and law enforcement. REMOVE THE COCK, REMOVE THE SIN Like most books by Konrath, this is full of sex. This one is especially brutal, including the mutilation of male and female genitals. I found some of this hard to stomach and it may be too much for some readers. I really liked the narrator. the narrator's voice was absolutely horrible. the narrator's voice was absolutely horrible. I couldn't even make myself listen past the first chapter, and the voices that he did were absolutely pathetic. His attempt at speaking like a woman was just embarrassing, and honestly, an insult. I will never get to know how great this story might have been because of this narrator.

Members Reviews: Great book! But where are the others? A scary concept for many children would be losing their parents to some horrible disease, but what if that disease made them want to eat you? Charlie Higson captures the way life would be in a world ruled by children while falling apart. The ups and downs in this novel are perfectly placed, and he switches between groups and scenes with well placed cliff hangers. I definitely recommend this read to any teen who likes a good Zombie/Survival story that isn't riddled with teen romance and vampires. However, there are several other books in this series that I would love to listen too. Where are they? Lord of the Flies meets Zombies I had no idea that this book even existed until my 15-year old daughter brought a physical copy home and told us how good the first ten chapters had been. She gave us a simple overview, and seeing as both my wife and I enjoy a good zombie book, decided to see if Higson's books were available through Audible. To our dismay, only this first in his series is currently available in audio format, but we figured we'd give his origin story a try anyway. We found this to be a new twist on zombie lore. Leaving children to fend for themselves in the midst of adult conversion into sick and twisted monsters that roam the London streets proved to be a good backdrop for his story. The characters are fleshed out well (no pun intended) and you find yourself rooting for them as they have to navigate from one creepy and dangerous situation to another throughout the course of the story, and Higson does an admirable job of capturing tween/teen angst and particular brand of defiance that causes conflicts that might not exist for adults. Of course, I found myself on more than one occasion having flashbacks to the original Lord of the Flies story and wish that some of the antagonistic behaviors some of the kids have toward one another felt more original, but it doesn't diminish the overall arc of the story and the reader's investment with the kids. The book ends with a couple of great setups for the sequals that I'm eager to follow-up with, but for now, I'm going to have to have to resort to buying the printed copies as no audiobooks exist (yet - I hope) for the other four in the series. On a side note, Paul Whitehouse's reading of The Enemy was stellar and really added some authentic British feel (and accent) to the situation, and kept us riveted. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dinosaur-Lake-Audiobook/B00DZ0GK1U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you could sum up Dinosaur Lake in three words, what would they be? Entertaining, light, fun. Which scene was your favorite? I loved the descriptions of Crater Lake and the Park. The book is not particularly deep or wet your pants thrilling but if you're looking to suspend reality and be entertained by a lake monster for a few hours this will fit the bill. If you read the description and think you might be interested you probably won't be disappointed. The writing and narration are good. Dinosaur Lake Would you try another book from Kathryn Meyer Griffith and/or Johnnie C. Hayes? Yes,I already have Was Dinosaur Lake worth the listening time? yes Any additional comments? There are monsters in Crater Lake!Although I didn't LOVE this book,I enjoyed the story.I found the science side lacking.I was expecting a specific dinosaur to be named,not just referred to as 'monsters' throughout the book.I liked the storyline.The narrator seemed completely wrong for this book.His reading seemed lackluster and needed depth and feeling. I think this book would be great for the YA crowd.I'd have loved it as a teen. Scary Adventure! Where does Dinosaur Lake rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Pretty high up there. I enjoyed it quite a bit. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dinosaur Lake? The last few chapters had me a nervous wreck! Which character as performed by Johnnie C. Hayes was your favorite? The main character. He felt very likable. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Oh yes. Any additional comments? Mr. Hayes gave the characters a very down-to-earth feel, which I thought was very appropriate for this book. Loved the book, too. Scary good! Purchased as Whispersync on the cheap courtesy of EBooksHabit. I have several works by this author, and bought this because I was delighted to get one of her books so cheaply, a real win-win! Great lead-in and mood setting, characters established early and well. Characters are well developed and there is no problem relating to the reactions and dilemmas of each. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Three-Audiobook/B00K26HJHY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/537/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Lotz is a ferociously imaginative storyteller whose twisty plots will kick the stairs out from under you. She's a talent to watch." - Lauren Beukes, author of Members Reviews: Meh What would have made The Three better? The Three is like many books in the horror/suspense genre. Its premise and character development are much stronger than the plot. As a result, the conclusion of the book feels unsatisfying relative to the investment made by the reader/listener. I think this book would be much stronger had the author figured out a way to deliver her "make you wonder" conclusion within the construct of a single narrative style. Most of the novel is spent within a book-inside-a-book done in the recounting style of World War Z. The very beginning and very end are spent in standard third-person narration. This shift is distracting and makes the ending feel a bit more like a letdown. What was most disappointing about Sarah Lotzs story? The underlying question of the novel is "who or what are the Three?" The conclusion is intended to leave you going "whoa" or "what the!?!" Instead, I found myself going "meh". I do not want to spoil the ending, so it is difficult to elaborate. I believe the author's intent with the ending is to make you rethink various clues throughout the novel. Fair enough. I enjoy books that try to do this. But it is a little annoying with this book because the punchline does not really answer the underlying question. And the punchline is simply not strong enough to make you want to reflect back upon the nuances of the story. Have you listened to any of Andrew Wincott and Melanie McHugh s other performances before? How does this one compare? I was unfamiliar with the work of the narrators. They both did an excellent job. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The Three draws you in with its premise and character development. My feelings about this novel are similar to my feelings about many of Stephen King's books -- the plot and conclusion were a bit of a letdown.
