Title: Intimations Subtitle: Stories Author: Alexandra Kleeman Narrator: Abby Craden, Andy Ingalls, Christa Lewis, Carly Robins Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: From the celebrated author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, a thought-provoking, often unsettling story collection that consists broadly of narrative diagrams of the three main stages in a human life: birth, life, and death. Alexandra Kleeman's debut novel, You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, earned her comparisons to Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Ben Marcus, and Tom Perrotta. It was praised by The New York Times as "a powerful allegory of our civilization's many maladies, artfully and elegantly articulated, by one of the young wise women of our generation". In her second book, a collection of 12 stories irresistibly seductive in their strangeness, she explores human life from beginning to end: the distress of birth into a world already formed; the brief and confusing period of "living" where we understand what is expected of us and struggle to do it; and the death-y period toward the end where we sense it is ending and will end only partially understood, at best. The title is taken from one of the stories ("Intimation") but is also a play on Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality" - only in this case it's not clear exactly what is being intimated, but it's nothing so gleaming and good as immortality. The middle section of the book, "Living", is fleshed out with a set of stories that borrow more from traditional realist fiction to illustrate the inner lives of the characters. At once familiar and mysterious, these stories have an eerie resonance as its characters find themselves in new and surprising situations. An unnamed woman enters a room with no exit and a ready-made life; the disappearance of people, objects, and memory creates an apocalypse; the art of dance is used to try to tame a feral child; the key to surviving a house party lies in knowing the difference between fake and real blood. Elegant, surprising, wondrous, and haunting, Intimations is an utterly transporting collection from one of our most ingenious and brilliant young writers. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Alexandra Kleeman) Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:16:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Intimations-Audiobook/B01IDTOC5S thebookvoice.com 05:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Contrived For me, a big test when I read works of fiction is, to what extent am I aware of the writer's efforts. If the writing is good in a way that shows the author has natural talent and a vision worth sharing, I am not aware of the writer at all, instead too absorbed in his or her words. When the writing is not good in that way, I am often uncomfortably aware of the writer. It's as if I feel them standing over my shoulder, pointing to certain sentences or passages and saying, "See? See what I did there?" The latter type of experience was the one I had with this collection of stories. I found the writing to be contrived, the stories uninteresting, and I was all too aware of the writer's labors. I like fiction about the strangeness of the human experience. But if I'm reading such works, by a Shirley Jackson or someone more contemporary like Pascal Garnier, I need the writing to feel like it came naturally to the writer, and I need it to draw me in so much that I'm too busy drinking in the words to think about the person who wrote them. This collection of stories felt forced to me. Originality is something to embrace!!! I am writing the tenth review for this collection of short stories and feel that the majority of the reviews on here are harsh. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mi-Nombre-es-Sara-G-y-Sobrevivi-Easy-Stories-to-Practice-Your-Spanish-Audiobook/B077YNHTS3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Mile 81 Author: Stephen King Narrator: Thomas Sadoski, Edward Herrmann, Craig Wasson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 02-22-12 Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A Stephen King original short story featuring an excerpt from 11.22.63, his latest full-length novel. With the heart of Stand by Me and the genius horror of Christine, Mile 81 is Stephen King unleashing his imagination as he drives past one of those road signs.... 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 heads off to the gravel pit to play paratroopers over the side. Pete, armed with only 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. Thats why he doesnt notice a freshly mud-spattered station wagon (which is strange because there hadnt been any rain in New England for over a week), which veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that reads closed, no services. The drivers door opens but nobody gets out.... In the bonus story The Dune, originally published in Grantas October 2011 horror issue, retired Florida Supreme Court Judge Harvey Beecher tells his lawyer about a mysterious sand dune on an unnamed island a short distance off the Gulf coastline of his familys property. Harvey first visited the island at the age of 10 in 1932, after his grandfather, a scoundrel and land speculator whod created the family fortune, told him Blackbeards treasure might be buried there. Travelling to the island became a daily addiction for Harvey and now his lawyer is about to discover the shocking reason why. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen King) Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:50:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mile-81-Audiobook/B007BQEZS4 thebookvoice.com 02:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More suited to an early teen audience maybe The Family Guy episode where Stephen King pitches a story about a "lamp monster" to his publisher springs to mind, except this one is about a station wagon that eats people. King has produced some excellent novels and novellas in his prolific career, although I'm afraid Mile 81 just isn't one of them. Sorry. nice What made the experience of listening to Mile 81 the most enjoyable? it was nice Would you be willing to try another book from Stephen King? Why or why not? yes because it was nice What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? they make it nice Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? again yes because it was nice Any additional comments? it was very nice Love it This is my go-to-sleep to story, which does not sound complimentary but it is. It's another haunted car but its engaging, interesting and I love it. The narrater has a lovely voice, you have the added Dune, also scary! Again disappointing the amount Audible gives you for your money/credit but the stories are fab! Usual excellence from Stephen King I love Stephen King's short stories and these two are up to his usual high standard. Very well read, especially by Edward Herrmann. stephen king so hit and miss.... this one miss What would have made Mile 81 better? only made it halfway through What was most disappointing about Stephen Kings story? it was just a car that killed people. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment Any additional comments? was well written just a bit mindless https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-the-Company-of-Sherlock-Holmes-Audiobook/B00P1NBHDU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: not made for listening This compilation rarely features the original Sherlock character, vs an updated or spin off adaptation. Some stories, like the script/play complete with scene direction and cues like "Sherlock Holmes doesn't like this" before each line, were not made to be read out loud in novel form. I enjoyed perhaps two of the stories. The best being Silver Blaze from the horse's POV. Yes, the most enjoyable story was featuring a horse narrator. It will put you to sleep What would have made In the Company of Sherlock Holmes better? I love Sherlock Holmes and was excited to get this book but then I could not finish the book. The narrator was terrible and did not hold my interest. If it had been narrated in a different manner the story line would have been good. Would you be willing to try another book from Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger ? Why or why not? Not unless it was narrated with more enthusiasim How could the performance have been better? . See above. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Story line was good if you were reading the book. However, narration plays a big the biggest part when I am listening to audio books and this was terible. Where is Sherlock Nothing Sherlockian about this book other than the use of names and a couple of rehashing of original stories. These cannot be considered as sherlock stories, but rather a school exercise. Not much can be added about the quality of the narrators. One GOOD narrator when have improved it. May be more acceptable to the American reader. absolute travesty of Holmes What would have made In the Company of Sherlock Holmes better? I was so looking forward to listening to this what a major let down there is nothing about Sherlock at all. This was a horrible audio book do not waste your money getting this.

Two great stories. Love novellas! Mary Higgins Clark books are always worrh your time to read. Good for a quick list read MHC fan but missed the building suspense of a full novel. This was a bit too short story for me. Oh Mary!!! Would you try another book from Mary Higgins Clark and/or Jan Maxwell? Of course, I am a Fan of Mary's book for decades. I read several of her books over again, She is a great author. But even Mary has her bad days and stories.. Would you ever listen to anything by Mary Higgins Clark again? Yes, even the novels that I read years ago. Which scene was your favorite? None. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No, I don't think so Any additional comments?

In this beguiling book, Alexander McCall Smith casts his eye over five chanced-upon photographs from the era of black-and-white photography and imagines the stories behind them. Who were those people, what were their stories, why are they smiling, what made them sad? What emerges are surprising and poignant tales of love and friendship in a variety of settings - an estate in the Highlands of Scotland; a travelling circus in Canada; an Australian gold-mining town; a village in Ireland; and the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. Some will find joy and fulfilment - others would prefer happier endings. Each of them, though, will find love, and that is ultimately what matters. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Alexander McCall Smith) Tue, 12 Jul 2016 21:49:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Chance-Developments-Audiobook/B01GF0DZ8C thebookvoice.com 05:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Several "I wish that I had written that..." What made the experience of listening to Chance Developments the most enjoyable? It makes commuting so much less hellish, to the point where, with certain books, I don't want to arrive at destination. What did you like best about this story? The multiple stories. Probably as romantic as you will find McCall-Smith. Several of the stories were quite remarkable. Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite? Always loved Davina Porter but there were no duds. Robert Ian McKenzie is always a standout. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Old Photographs and Pictures disclose some remarkable tales. ( I was already casting characters for some of them.) Any additional comments? Had to listen to a couple of them two times. So many remarkable asides on the human condition ... Enjoyable Read! Each story had well-developed characters and an interesting plot. Smith carried the theme of love throughout each unique story. Charming stories! I love stories by Alexander McCall Smith. Happy endings! Perfect for my thirty minute commute. Short stories from old photos...with no photos What made the experience of listening to Chance Developments the most enjoyable? Each reader seemed specifically chosen for the story and characters - so glad AMS went with a collaborative approach! The familiar narrators from all the AMS series were a pleasure to hear from again. What did you like best about this story? The approach of starting with an old photo is incredible. As I listened, I imagined the photos and what details let AMS down the paths he chose. Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite? Sister Flora. If you could take any character from Chance Developments out to dinner, who would it be and why? Harry. Such a fascinating life. Any additional comments? Given this book's tight tie to the inspirational images, it would have been fantastic for Audible to find a way to share those images. I have managed to find a couple of them online, but I'd still really like to see the rest! The "Good"; The "Bad"; The "Otherwise" Where does Chance Developments rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Among all the Alexander McCall Smith books, this collection of Short Stories falls a bit short -- in that most all the stories were very good, but a few were just "so so". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Darker-Side-Of-Sir-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-Volume-1-Audiobook/B005EHN86M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Daphne du Maurier is in a class by herself." (New York Times) Members Reviews: Good collection with moments of brilliance The one thing that all these stories have in common is that Dame Daphne does not hesitate to put her characters right in the midst of hell. DON'T LOOK NOW is well known thanks to the Donald Sutherland - Julie Christie movie adaptation. Set in Venice, a couple looking for peace find anything but that in this tale of the paranormal, violence, and mystery. NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT is, I think, the most creative story here. A school teacher and amateur painter looks forward to a vacation in Crete. He's working toward an exhibition and wants nothing more than to paint in solitude, but a loud-mouthed, swearing, drunken "ugly American" puts paid to that ambition. I absolutely loved this one. It has so many elements I love to see in a story. A BORDERLINE CASE was disappointing. It is the lame story of a girl named Sheila who gets involved with something quite beyond her. Unlikely plot, unappealing characters. THE WAY OF THE CROSS is an excellent satire. A group of Church of England pilgrims to the Holy Land are the focus of du Maurier's jaded eye. A wonderful mix of types and situations. THE BREAKTHROUGH is an old school technological story that seems quaint today. An electronics electronics engineer finds himself in the midst of his most unusual work assignment to date when he is sent to an experimental group at a former radar station. Recommended to du Maurier fans. Thrilling - worth the listen While there were audio issue (two recordings from 1989) it's worth a listen. Not scary but gives you the chills. The frights are all left unspoken. Some terrific stories and some not so terrific This author has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. Her character development - even in these short stories - is wonderful. The first story was spine chilling and I absolutely loved, same with the second and the last. The middle two stories I could have done without, but that's what you get with a compilation of shorts. I would still recommend - some of the stories haunted me for days after! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Love-Object-Audiobook/B00UZEQ938 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Love Object Subtitle: Selected Stories Author: Edna O'Brien, John Banville - introduction Narrator: Catherine McGoohan, Julian Sands, Elle Newlands, Moira Quirk, Jennifer Taylor Lawrence, Cerris Morgan Moyer, Katy Townsend Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Collected here for the first time are stories spanning five decades of writing by the "short story master" (Harold Bloom). As John Banville writes in his introduction to The Love Object, Edna O'Brien "is, simply, one of the finest writers of our time." The 31 stories collected in this volume provide, among other things, a cumulative portrait of Ireland, seen from within and without. Coming of age, the impact of class, and familial and romantic love are the prevalent motifs, along with the instinct toward escape and subsequent nostalgia for home. Some of the stories are linked, and some carry O'Brien's distinct sense of the comical. In "A Rose in the Heart of New York", the single-mindedness of love dramatically derails the relationship between a girl and her mother while in "Sister Imelda" and "The Creature", the strong ties between teacher and student and mother and son are ultimately broken. "The Love Object" recounts a passionate affair between the narrator and her older lover. The magnificent, midcareer story "Lantern Slides" portrays a Dublin dinner party that takes on the lives and loves of all the guests. More recent stories include "Shovel Kings" - "a masterpiece of compression, distilling the pain of a lost, exiled generation" (Sunday Times) - and "Old Wounds", which follows the revival and demise of the friendship between two elderly cousins. In 2011 Edna O'Brien's gifts were acknowledged with the most prestigious international award for the story, the Frank O'Connor Short Story Award. The Love Object illustrates a career's worth of shimmering, potent prose from a writer of great courage, vision, and heart. "The most striking aspect of Edna O'Brien's short stories, aside from the consistent mastery with which they are executed, is their diversity" (John Banville). biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edna O'Brien) Tue, 05 May 2015 16:41:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Love-Object-Audiobook/B00UZEQ938 thebookvoice.com 19:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: wow wonderful writing and narration. truly moving. could listen to it again and again. Edna O'Brian is incredible. Painting the Inside: Love's "Reality" You should read the trailblazing Irish writer Edna O'Brien, if you haven't. She was a pioneer in writing the uncensored and ungilded lives and inner thoughts of women, and, as such, a revolutionary in her native Ireland. Educated as a pharmacist, she married a writer and moved to London. It was then, ironically, that she read James Joyce's A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN, and decided she wanted to write. She came out of the gate, but good, at the age of 30 with the 1960 publication of THE COUNTRY GIRLS, the first of what's now known as The Country Girls Trilogy (1960-64). These books were banned, and even burned, in Ireland due to their vivid depiction of the sensual lives and thoughts of women (especially single ones). Most of the tales in this volume of selected stories portray the inner thoughts and sensuousness of women, their strengths and flaws, primarily in relationships with men but also to other women. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Jeeves-and-Bertie-The-Early-Days-Audiobook/B004L6AXYC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The warnings are correct: very, very short The actual content here is shorter than the excerpt from the Last Minute. It is clearly a quick way to make extra money by capitalizing on Sam Capra's growing popularity. That said, it is a fun bridge between Adrenaline and The Last Minute. It had been a couple of months since I finished Adrenaline, and this brought me back into the world. It is NOT NECESSARY to read this to enjoy The Last Minute, but I actually kind of enjoyed the bridge. But like many others who have written here, I was really stunned when it was suddenly over. Quite short. Another Sam Capra Story I loved the whole Sam Capra series! Read them all and would read more! AUTHOR JEFF ABBOTT wrote some "you can't put down fiction". Sam Capra You won't be able to put this book down. This is an honorable man with goals to save everyone he can and loves his family and would give up his life for them. He is put in a position to do that but suddenly realizes that the enemy is not who he thinks they are and must decide what to do about it. Never a dull moment. A movie must be made out of this book, Entertaining - but short The story was entertaining, but extremely short. Granted it only cost $1.99 - but I still expected more than 46 pages of the story. The description on Amazon states the book is 79 pages, but that includes title page, an excerpt from "The Last Minute", cover page, copyright page, etc. I guess I was expecting too much. I will be very hesitant in the the future about buying any more e-books. Good story, typical of Jeff Abbott Good story, typical of Jeff Abbott, but I expected a short story to be a complete story, not simply an extract from his new book 'The Last Minute'. The 'story' just finishes half sentence. Worth $1.99 - just. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Stone-Mattress-Audiobook/B00TS23LM0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vintage Atwood creativity, intelligence, and humor: think Alias Grace. Margaret Atwood turns to short fiction for the first time since her 2006 collection, Moral Disorder, with nine tales of acute psychological insight and turbulent relationships bringing to mind her award-winning 1996 novel, Alias Grace. A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband in Alphinland, the first of three loosely linked stories about the romantic geometries of a group of writers and artists. In The Freeze-Dried Bridegroom, a man who bids on an auctioned storage space has a surprise. In Lusus Naturae, a woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire. In Torching the Dusties, an elderly lady with Charles Bonnet syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence. And in Stone Mattress, a long-ago crime is avenged in the Arctic via a 1.9 billion-year-old stromatolite. In these nine tales, Margaret Atwood is at the top of her darkly humorous and seriously playful game.

Members Reviews: Bitter, bitter old age tales that sting I love Margaret Atwood's work but lately she is putting out some tales that are so full of disappointment in the human condition it is hard to like them. Three of the stories are connected through characters and the rest in despair and reflections on life from the view of older bitter people, the magical tale is not so magic All the sex is tainted in use and abuse and so is therefore the love we get to see, even brotherly or asexual love are presented as a form of resignation. Perhaps is me, but I find that she confuses bitterness with satire. And when it is spread so thickly it distorts everything into bleakness. The writing is good and the plots are interesting, but the negativity gives no place to enjoy even the revenges or the past memories of the characters that feel cheated and used by their past loves making all an exercise in desperation for older character that discover or are very aware of their mortal coil. It is good reading if you like Margaret Atwood but with the caveat that it is not happy reading or life affirming. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Got-to-Be-Real-Audiobook/B003S7Z6EW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hard To Listen To I've made several attempts to listen to this audiobook since I purchased it last year. I've yet to listen to it in it's entirety because it's just too boring. The only one I've listened to to it's end is the one with how Bobby and Alejandra met and I forced myself to listen to that one because of my love for Friends And Lovers. For the most part, these stories are long, dry and dull. I'm going to try one final time to give it a listen because I am a Dickey fan, but if it doesn't capture me this time, I'm going to delete it. poor narration on story 2 The narrator on Amir & Kenya does a poor job. It's painful to listen to him. He slurs some of his words, at times he reads too slowly, like he's trying too hard to pronounce each word. At times, it becomes painful to listen to. Not what I expected from established authors What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. Any additional comments? With 1 book, I thought I would get 4 great stories by 4 different authors, but only 1 of the books was good and 1 was fair. The other two just weren't what I expected from authors that I have read before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Dorothy-Parker-Audio-Collection-Audiobook/B002V8KN1U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Presuming it to have been stolen by another houseguest, the concerned host contacts the Beresfords for help. Members Reviews: A Delightful Mystery Would you listen to The Affair of the Pink Pearl again? Why? Yes. I have listened to it twice. I love Hugh Fraser's narration. What other book might you compare The Affair of the Pink Pearl to and why? Anything by Agatha Christie. Which scene was your favorite? I enjoyed when Tommy uses the specific photographic apparatus. Who was the most memorable character of The Affair of the Pink Pearl and why? I like Tommy who tries solving the crimes using different styles of literary detection. Any additional comments? Tommy and Tuppence stories are not my favorites to read but they are fun to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Kissing-the-Witch-Audiobook/B00SK5NU2M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wtf Really liked the first two books in the series. The third one was not available on audible so skipped to this one and the onlly reaction is WTF is this. A couple of short stories are OK, the rest is best ignored. Hope the next book is more like the first 2. May require hospital grade painkillers... Had been quite some time since I had read this collection of short stories, I'd forgotten about it's existence. But I managed to get this downloaded shortly before being wheeled in for an emergency appendectomy. So please consider my review through the eyes of post-operation medical quality opiates. First story, isn't that nice. Second story, what? Listen again. Oh yes that is good. A few more stories which are rather good, but as I find with Peter Kenny's reading, he is the unsung star of this generation of Banks' publishing. Even if one doesn't necessarily *enjoy* the story, of which there was one in here that honestly after my hospital release I can't recall which one, Kenny's reading is a joy to listen to (and trust me, even more so under the influence of opiates). His attention to tone, character and timing is I think impeccable. I must give a warning about the title short story. There is one scene, the dinner scene, where you may laugh so hard that you do yourself an injury. Sure, I had recently been sliced open and should have controlled myself. But, the extra morphone that was required due to the additional injury was not unwelcome. This review is rambling? Sure, I'm out of hospital and still on painkillers. The book? Oh yes, I'm reviewing the book and not the opiates. The book's a must have for the Banks completist. And a great little introduction of the differing styles for which Banks was well known. Kenny again delivers. My only niggle would be that it sounded like it was recorded in a small room and not a acoustically dead (ie, no reverb) room. However I'm fairly certain this was only noticeable at 4am on the ward with headphones when the only noises to be heard was the nurses footsteps checking on the patients. This isn't to say it's bad, but more to say why the 'overall' score I've given it doesn't match the performance and story scores. OK, I'm out. Not editing this review. I need some more codeine based stuff... My 2nd Audible Experience! I recently began work at an organization that let you listen to your mobile...so I downloaded my 2nd book...'State of the Art' by Iain M Banks. Just like the first book, I loved it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mystery-Writers-of-America-Presents-The-Prosecution-Rests-Audiobook/B004QPH5RG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "A stellar anthology. consistently high quality." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: some stories made no sense even after listening to the stories over again, the ones that made no sense, it still did not make any sense so I did not appreciate that. I've listened to all of Linda fairstein audio books and totally enjoyed them all, but this mystery writers audio book was not as great as I thought it would be with stories from different authors No Reasonable Doubt Here I know, we're supposed to hear all the evidence before we reach a decision . . . but I felt morally compelled to stop when I realized, after the first story, that I'd be returning the book to the Penitentiary of Refunds. It was. . an implausible, uninteresting story made up of cartoon-like characters lacking in even rudimentary skills of deduction. The idea that an editor would select such a yarn, from the hundreds or thousands available, is bad enough. To put it first in the series of stories is astoundingly bad judgment. Not sure what it means, but I also found it a bit peculiar that although the editor is described as being a best-selling author of legal thrillers, my search on audible found nothing under her name but this sad volume. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Selected-Shorts-Audiobook/B002V0KJEY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In After the Fireworks, three of Aldous Huxley's lost classic pieces of short fiction are collected for the first time. In the title novella, Rome is the stunning backdrop where internationally famous novelist Miles Fanning is setting out on a walk down Via Condotti toward the Spanish Steps when he encounters the mysterious Pamela Tarn - a beautiful young American admirer of his work who shares a name, as well as conspicuous personality traits, with a character from his most celebrated book. Though there is a considerable age difference between them and they come from different worlds, both are soon irresistibly drawn into a dangerous affair that has unforeseen consequences. First published one year before he wrote his classic Brave New World and now available again for the first time in 75 years, After the Fireworks is Aldous Huxley at the height of his powers. Featuring an original introduction by National Book Critics Circle Award-winner Gary Giddins, this new collection also includes Uncle Spencer (1924), the story of an aging World War I veteran's quest for the lost love he met in a prison during the war, and Two or Three Graces (1926), the tale of a passionate and destructive writer's abusive relationship with an impressionable bourgeois housewife.

Title: The Bear in the Attic Author: Patrick F. McManus Narrator: Norman Dietz Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-09 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The beloved humorist and bestselling author returns with his most riotous collection of essays to date. Starting with his trademark outdoorsman's wit, Patrick F. McManus's newest collection ponders the strange allure of the RV, the existential implications of being lost, the baffling tendency of animals to outsmart those who wish to hunt them, and the singular pleasure of doubling the size of every fish one doesn't actually catch. Combining the curmudgeonly voice of Dave Barry and the innocent tone of Garrison Keillor, McManus brilliantly captures the everyday absurdities that comprise our existence. Alongside his humor, McManus's inimitable vision consistently evokes a childlike wonder at the natural world. Even if we are running low on food, the compass is broken, and we are fairly certain we have just spotted a family of Sasquatches frolicking in the treetops, The Bear in the Attic makes the outdoors seem wildly irresistible. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Patrick F.

Combining the curmudgeonly voice of Dave Barry and the innocent tone of Garrison Keillor, McManus brilliantly captures the everyday absurdities that comprise our existence. Alongside his humor, McManus's inimitable vision consistently evokes a childlike wonder at the natural world. Even if we are running low on food, the compass is broken, and we are fairly certain we have just spotted a family of Sasquatches frolicking in the treetops, The Bear in the Attic makes the outdoors seem wildly irresistible.

Members Reviews: Buy the other one The first chapter is broken on this one. Great book, but this is a broken copy and completely ruins the punchline of the first story. I unfortunately own both, so I'm putting this here so you (and I) know the glitched one from the good one. A great story teller - will leave you laughing Joe Fourty years ago I read his early books to my kids, in this book, he mixes in his personal life with his zany friends. I would recommend this book to those that want to learn about his early life and how to tell storys. another dangerously funny story the writing makes me believe that I'm listening to little kids discuss things. then you are drawn in and can not believe what mistake they are going to make. all are fun stories, great entertainment. Funny! This book is funny and great entertainment! It is for all ages, we love Pat McManus and his vision of his world! Hilarious Yarns What did you love best about The Bear in the Attic? Wonderful set of tall tales. What about Norman Dietzs performance did you like? Right accent, tone and timing. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Very troublesome reaction. While walking and listening I would burst out in guffaws..earning strange stares from those nearby. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Selected-Shorts-New-American-Stories-Audiobook/B005XOKEZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

These stories were good, but none were really great. The reader were all quite good, but the stories were not my cup of tea. The American Classics is my favorite volume of stories so far. Riveting stories so well told! What made the experience of listening to Selected Shorts: New American Stories the most enjoyable? The readers were so excellent, each one diverse. What did you like best about this story? Each had unexpected twists & well drawn characters. What about the narratorss performance did you like? Best I've heard, and I've heard plenty! Inflections superb, tone magnificent....very colorful, every one! I want more! Who was the most memorable character of Selected Shorts: New American Stories and why? The "killer" and I'll say no more. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Great Short Story What did you love best about Dandy Detects? I have read the full-length Victorian San Francisco Mysteries, so I was looking forward to listening to this short story. I really like the characters in this story and the interaction between them. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Though I pretty much knew what was happening, it still did keep me at the edge of my seat because Alexandra brought the mystery to life. What does Alexandra Haag bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She brings the story to life with her voice characterizations. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No, it was just a very good story. Can't wait til the next book comes out! Great Story but too short! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it was a delightful, engaging story and as a fan of the series it was like visiting old friends and getting to know a minor character better. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Not really - it was more of a known conclusion, but interesting to see how it unfolded. After all these are lone women in 19th century America, so they have almost no power. What does Alexandra Haag bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She brought a warmth to the character, creating a feeling of coziness and intimacy. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Any additional comments? Great story, very good narration, but too short at just 41 minutes! Great Dog Great Story! Dandy is a great little doggie and quite the gentleman! He handles himself well in many situations. This one is quite nasty! Men just aren't to be trusted! This is a good little read! I highly recommend it! A great little mini-mystery for M Locke fans! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this little gem of a mystery to fans of the Maids of Misfortune series as well as anyone who enjoys historical or cozy mysteries What did you like best about this story? I listened to this one while out on a beautiful walk in the sunshine and I enjoyed it immensely. It was an easy story to get into and I was left wondering who-done-it. Which character as performed by Alexandra Haag was your favorite? I loved hearing Barbara Hewitt's voice, and, of course, Dandy himself! Who was the most memorable character of Dandy Detects and why? All my favorite characters were back from the other novels in the series, so it was like meeting with old friends again. I particularly enjoyed hearing from Barbara Hewitt's point of view, as I connected with her in the last book I read of Locke's. Any additional comments? M. Louisa Locke has a fine command of her world, her characters, her stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Scottish-Fairy-Book-Audiobook/B01LWZ7GK4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Scottish Fairy Book Subtitle: Collection Author: Elizabeth W Grierson Narrator: Steven Cree Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-16 Publisher: Spokenworld Audio & Ladbroke Audio Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A collection of 28 Scottish fairy tales, perfect for children (and adults) of all ages. Herein you will find what may be called Celtic stories, which were handed down for centuries by word of mouth by professional storytellers, who went about from clachan to clachan in the Highlands and Islands, earning a night's shelter by giving a night's entertainment. There are, roughly speaking, two distinct types of Scottish fairy tales. These stories (which are also common to the North of Ireland), are wild and fantastic, with every flavour of Scotland throughout. They tell of heroes and heroines who set out on dangerous quests, giants and monsters, fairy folk and other mythical creatures, strange other-lands and mysterious meetings. They have a peculiar Celtic fascination of their own, and they are quite distinct from the more traditional (Grimm-style) fairy tales. These tales, in Scotland, have also a character of their own, for there is no country where the existence of spirits and goblins has been so implicitly believed in up to a comparatively recent date. From morality tales to spooky stories, these 28 fascinating fictions are performed with energy and amazing characterisation by Steven Cree, one of the UK's most versatile actors, currently making a big splash in the US hit TV series Outlander. Collected and edited by Elizabeth W Grierson and originally published in 1910, the audio collection contains the following tales: 'Thomas the Rhymer', 'Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree', 'Whippety-Stourie', 'The Red Etin', 'The Seal-Catcher and the Merman', 'The Pageboy and the Silver Goblet', 'The Black Bull of Norroway', 'The Wee Bannock', 'The Elfin Knight', 'Nippit-Fit and Clippit-Fit', 'The Fairies of Merlin's Crag', 'Habetrot', 'The Spinstress', 'The Wedding of Robin Redbreast and Jenny Wren', 'The Dwarfie Stone', 'Canonbie Dick and Thomas of Ercildoune', 'The Laird o' Co', 'Poussie Baudrons', 'The Milk-White Doo', 'The Draiglin' Hogney', 'The Brownie o' Ferne-Den', 'The Witch of Fife', 'Assipattle and the Mester Stoorworm', 'The Fox and the Wolf', 'Katherine Crackernuts', 'The Well o' the World's End', 'Farquhar MacNeill', 'Peerifool', 'The Heather Lintie'. Read by Steven Cree (Outlander, Brave, John Carter, 300 Rise of an Empire, Maleficent. Critic Reviews: "This is a lovely set of stories for all ages that captures the tradition of Scottish story-telling for future generations. As I have come to expect from Spokenworld, the production on the audio is excellent and the music very well chosen. This collection would make a lovely gift for children of any age or just a great excuse to get back into listening to traditional bedtime stories."

(The Sacramento Bee) Members Reviews: Fascinating, thrilling, and educational. Thornton W. Burgess for adults. James Michener is perhaps best known for writing the 1947 book on which the popular Rogers & Hammerstein musical (and film) South Pacific was based. But to readers in the 1950s â 1980s he was best known for huge, sprawling historical novels, such as Hawaii, The Source, Centennial, Space, Texas, Alaska, and many more. Although historical fiction doesnât get much respect among the literati, he was the sort of person whom the average reader of shorter, easier novels would admire and praise even if they never got around to reading him. Michener had read and loved Thornton W. Burgess as a child, and as an adult writer he worked into some of his novels stories about nature that would appeal to adults who had loved Burgess as children. Like Burgess, they are as educational as they are entertaining. Like Burgess, the thoughts and feelings of wild creatures are somewhat anthropomorphized. They are like Burgess stories grown up and made fascinating, thrilling, and educational for adults. No adult who enjoyed Burgess as a child should miss these stories. Teens enjoy it too. Though his novels were huge, and these 16 nature stories are taken from them, this book, published near the end of his career, is much shorter at about 280 pages. If you read only one of these stories, you absolutely must not miss âThe Eagle and the Snakeâ, about an epic battle. If you can read a few more, be sure to include the amazing âNerka the Salmonâ. I have no doubt that if you read those two, you wonât stop until youâve read them all. One small disappointment -- the Kindle edition does not have the illustrations. The illustrations in the print editions are not all that good, but they do provide some atmosphere and the Kindle book would have been improved if they had been included. For the $12 that they charge for this, they should have included the illustrations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ghosts-Visions-and-Apparitions-Audiobook/B00J5Q1P7M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Jealously, Murder, Love, Oh Yes, A Cat Grace Conlin did full justice to this work. I cannot give high enough praise to her performance. Montgomery's magnificent powers are on full display in these fifteen little stories of love, loss, redemption and human dramas. No one does cat stories better than Lucy Maude Montgomery. My favorites are the cats of Patty's Place in "Anne of the Island", Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in "Rilla of Inglesides" and from this collection "Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat" is definitely a star. I am only mentioning a few stories that I particularly enjoyed but there are none in this collection that I would have passed up. "Her Father's Daughter" is about a girl on her wedding whose parents had separated years earlier. Actually, her mother had got into a pet and locked the guy out. However, the girl didn't lock her father out and is hell bent on having him at her wedding. In "Jane's Baby", two women get into an all out cat fight over who gets their dead sister's baby. "The Dream Child" is about the loss of a child and how the husband and wife go forth. It is a bit strange but not too. "The Education of Betty", well think of the movie "Daddy Long Legs" with Janet Gaynor. In this case, the book is better. Guess who comes to the wedding in "Only a Common Fellow"? I am not telling. "Tannis of the Flats" is a bit unusual, first there is a murder then most of the story takes place in Alberta instead of the Maritimes. Remember there is a thread in Montgomery's stories that these folks are linked to the sea and to traveling off into the dangerous unknowns. Even sometimes the women folk head west. For instance, Jane Anderson couldn't find a husband in P.E.I. so off she charged to the west country and snagged herself a for real millionaire. This little story also touches the conflicting cultures of the Europeans and the natives. Montgomery did an outstanding job with this one in particular. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Kitchen-Imps-and-Other-Dark-Tales-Audiobook/B01F7TR8Z8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a collection of cute and funny short stories. The narrator is great. lived his voice! The Kitchen Imp These stories are very informative on where our dirty socks,sewing supplies and buttons go when we can't find them.J.Scott Bennett narrates this short book very nicely. I was given this book free for an honest review. Dark humor of the rarest sort Where does The Kitchen Imps and Other Dark Tales rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I loved this audiobook. I loved the concept, the crafting of the stories, the great match of author to narrator. I rate Kitchen Imps in the top five per cent of all audio books I've heard. Who was your favorite character and why? I fell in love with the Kitchen Imps themselves. Because, of course, they really do exist, and they're responsible for... well, listen and learn... Which scene was your favorite? I adored finding out where all the missing socks have gone. If you could rename The Kitchen Imps and Other Dark Tales, what would you call it? Imps in the Kitchen Any additional comments? If you love dark fantasy, Kitchen Imps and Other Dark Tales is one to have in Kindle and on Audio, and keep in your permanent collection for those days when you simply must laugh or you'll cry. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/It-Happened-One-Season-Audiobook/B004S36A40 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Stories - Excellent / Narration - Halfway There I love the premise of this collection, and for the most part it is well executed. The individual works are characteristic of the the four writers, and if you are familiar with and like them already, you will enjoy this. Simon Prebble did a nice job of narration as well. However, he only narrated two of the stories. The other two narrations were much less enjoyable. For some reason, the woman who narrated the Mary Balogh story said the word "lover" as if she was taking part in a Saturday Night Live sketch. It was distracting, annoying, and unnecessary. I took off a star for this. Another great one, but... I loved this book, except for one thing...I took off one star for the female narrator. They should have let Simon Prebble read the whole thing instead of only 2 of the 4 stories, because (in my opinion) the woman who read the other two did a horrible job. You could hardly tell one character from another, and she over-acted everything. If you can get past that, you will enjoy it too. Variety of Stories with the Same Theme! All talented authors, but I liked the second story, by Mary Balogh, the best. The stories were enhances by the performances of both Simon Prebble and Anne Flosnik. THE THEME: A handsome hero returns from war, battle-scarred and world-weary. But family duty calls and he must find a bride. A young lady facing yet another season without a suitor never expects to find herself the object of his affections. Loved It! I was very happy with this purchase! I own everything Stephanie Laurens and Mary Balogh have written so I knew I would love their stories. Was surprised and pleased with the other two authors and will look into purchasing some of their books. All the stories flowed very well and were very entertaining. I really liked finding out what 4 different authors did with the same set of circumstances. It was very enjoyable and a very easy listen. ENJOY! A nice book of novellas I enjoyed this group of novellas, although some more than others. The narration was good and easy to Listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Short-Stories-by-G-K-Chesterton-Audiobook/B00ARKHK0G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A literary event - a new collection of stories by one of America's most beloved and admired short story writers, her first collection in fifteen years. In these eight masterful stories, Lorrie Moore, in a perfect blend of craft and bewitched spirit, explores the passage of time and summons up its inevitable sorrows and hilarious pitfalls to reveal her own exquisite, singular wisdom. In "Debarking," a newly divorced man tries to keep his wits about him as the United States prepares to invade Iraq, and against this ominous moment, we see - in all its irresistible hilarity and darkness - the perils of divorce and what can follow in its wake. In "Foes," a political argument goes grotesquely awry as the events of 9/11 unexpectedly manifest at a fund-raising dinner in Georgetown. In "The Juniper Tree," a teacher, visited by the ghost of her recently deceased friend, is forced to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a kind of nightmare reunion. In "Wings," we watch the unraveling of two once-hopeful musicians who neither held fast to their dreams nor struck out along other paths as Moore deftly depicts the intricacies of dead ends and the workings of regret. Gimlet-eyed social observation, the public and private absurdities of American life, dramatic irony, and enduring half-cracked love wend their way through each of these narratives in a heartrending mash-up of the tragic and the laugh-out-loud - the hallmark of Lorrie Moore - land. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Lorrie Moore) Tue, 25 Feb 2014 07:18:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bark-Audiobook/B00IAYHAE2 thebookvoice.com 05:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable, intriguing short story collection Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? For those who like short stories yes. Other reviewers complained about this collection being "thin" and that not enough stories. Well, this is not meant to be "War & Peace" (big fat novel). I find myself satiated with this collection & looking forward to more. I've always liked anthologies though I realize it's not for everyone. Who was your favorite character and why? The two former "consultants" who met up in a Paris cafe after years of being "together". A taste of secrecy, spies, intrigue yet such humane exposure of two human beings. Find out for yourself. I don't wanna spoil it. Which scene was your favorite? The farm wedding (hehehe), laughed so hard! So tell-it-like-it-is REAL. Moore's storytelling is so good I can visualize the whole enchilada! The voices, wedding dresses (love the color descriptions), the ex-father-in-law's lust, the "entertainment" and chaos from unexpected snafu...hilarious. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes, when the woman in the Paris cafe wondered if she should pronounce the two S's in "couscous". Is it just couscoooo since there's no letter after the 2nd "s"? Made me realize how silly it is when I worry about this kind of thing too. Made me have empathy for the character (key trait of good storyteller). Any additional comments? Well done Lorrie Moore! I dig even all the double entendres, alliterations, puns e.g. the title "Bark" and 1st story "Debarked". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Storytime-with-the-Stars-Audiobook/B076DJ88VG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really enjoyed catching up on all the couples and meeting ones I will read. Well woth the credit. Happy Assassin holiday! Its not often you get to catch up on the lives of the couples from previous books. I loved catching up with the players and their wives during the holiday season. I can't wait for the next Assassin story! Lucy Malone is a great narrator who puts a lot of feeling and emotion into the story. Great job Toni and Lucy! Loved it and love the series! I loved the story and the continuation of all the characters! Can't wait for more in the series. The narrator was perfect as always! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dallas-Noir-Audiobook/B00PWE9MX0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dallas Noir Author: David Hale Smith Narrator: Scott Brick, Jennifer Van Dyck, John McLain, Gabra Zackman, Vikas Adam, Stephen Hoye Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Featuring brand-new stories by: Kathleen Kent, Ben Fountain, James Hime, Harry Hunsicker, Matt Bondurant, Merritt Tierce, Daniel J. Hale, Emma Rathbone, Jonathan Woods, Oscar C. Pea, Clay Reynolds, Lauren Davis, Fran Hillyer, Catherine Cuellar, David Haynes, and J. Suzanne Frank. From the introduction by David Hale Smith: My favorite line in my favorite song about Dallas goes like this: Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes / A steel and concrete soul in a warm heart and love disguise... The narrator of Jimmie Dale Gilmore's perfect tune "Dallas" is coming to town as a broke dreamer with the bright lights of the big city on his mind. He's just seen the Dallas cityscape through the window of his seat on a DC-9 at night. Is he just beginning his quest? Or is he on his way home, flying out of Love Field, reminiscing after seeing the woman who stepped on him when he was down? In a country with so many interesting cities, Dallas is often overlooked except on November 22 every year. The heartbreaking anniversary keeps coming back around in a nightmare loop, for all of us. On that day in 1963, Dallas became American noir. A permanent black scar on its history that will never be erased, no matter how many happy business stories and hit television shows arise from here. In a stark ongoing counterweight to the JFK tragedy are those two iterations of the TV show. Dallas is not a TV show. It's a real city... For the past 40 years, my capacity to be surprised by it has not diminished one bit. I hope the stories in this collection will surprise you too. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Hale Smith) Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:54:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dallas-Noir-Audiobook/B00PWE9MX0 thebookvoice.com 09:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gripping read for a dark stormy night Bear in mind that this is noir literature, so at points, it is a bit graphic and contains illicit drug use, strong language, and some sexually explicit content. As a Dallas native who has also lived in other cities, I found it to be an all at once accurate, yet disturbing picture of the city. If you're a fan of dystopian literature or if you like to read lots of different perspectives on a place, you will like this book. Personally, I found it so intriguing that I read the whole thing in one sitting even though it was an assignment for a college class and I was only required to read a couple of stories. Good series Good stories Wow! Starts off perfect and zooms from there. Sometimes you forget how much there is going on right there in your own neighborhood. Can't stop in the middle of these stories... This is absolutely edge-of-my-subway-seat reading! I am very much enjoying this collection, and I would highly recommend it to others. Great stories Some great stories written top-notch writers. Jonathan Woods, James Hime, and Matt Bondurant to name a few.

Members Reviews: Depressing Drone It's heavy material and the flat tone with which it is read only makes it overwhelmingly dreary to the point where I didn't want to waste any more life minutes on this. The whole is less than the sum of the parts in this instance. Jennifer, Why have you disconnected? Narrator was great,,, pronounced Grody as Grahdy. (Highlight.) Jennifer, what's going on? I enjoy reading your books but I have to say you've been going down a dark place. Read "All Fall Down" and didn't love it and now a very similar monotonous journey in Disconnected,. Please return to your old self which I read to relax and enjoy the characters and storyline. By the way, this is my first review ever but I really feel strongly about this. Another popping pills, drugging and epiphany (not even sure about Disconnected) and you'll lose a loyal reader. Exception all short story Exception all short story. Well presented. Will recommend for reading and as an audible book. Great short story Very good short story!! It had a surprise ending and it is very well written. Would definitely read it again! Hard to listen to, but well written Gritty, sad and difficult to listen to. The sadness I felt during the story for people I've known that have lost their lives to drug addiction. Well written - everything I read by Jennifer Weiner has been well written and I try to make sure to read all her books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Celebrated-Cases-of-Judge-Dee-Audiobook/B002V8MRH8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A different legal thriller Because this is a traditional Chinese legal thriller, it would be best if you listened to the explanation of the differences between American/European crime stories and traditional Chinese detective stories. The translator has a 40 minute appendix describing the various devices within the traditional Chinese detective novel and it is VERY helpful. His appendix begins at 7:42:15. Awesome crime/mystery stories Robert Van Gulik's Judge Dee stories are wonderful crime/mystery stories. They flow very well. They give you an insight into how life was from the commoner to the upper class in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD/CE). The stories are about the district judge/magistrate Di Renjie and the court cases/mysteries that he solves in the different district posts that he holds. I was introduced to the character from the movie "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon". When I realized it was based off of a book, I hunted down the author and read all the books. I LOVED them. The only down side is the narrator gives the judge a british sounding voice. It would have been better with someone narrating with a voice that sounded more asian in its inflections. one of my all-time favorite books! I love this book. this is one of the few books in my collection that I can pick up at any point in anytime no matter how I'm feeling and just feel good and have a lot of fun reading or listening to it. I think this is a must-read or listen anybody that is interested in detective stories or Chinese culture. Interesting Piece of history. Rather pedantic delivery, but amazing to hear a much older example of detective fiction. A chinese sleuth in ancient china. If you could sum up The Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee in three words, what would they be? Authentic, singular, exotic What did you like best about this story? Classic whodunit that keeps you guess! It satisfies the requisite who, why, & how! Have you listened to any of Norman Dietzs other performances before? How does this one compare? No Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Members Reviews: Grizzly Cove Experience! Would you listen to All About the Bear again? Why? Yes, I enjoyed them. Easy story plot, easy love story. However, not much drama. What other book might you compare All About the Bear to and why? Not sure. Have you listened to any of Rhiannon Angells other performances before? How does this one compare? No I have not. If you could take any character from All About the Bear out to dinner, who would it be and why? The little drunken shifter - because I thought he was funny. Any additional comments? Only that the story could have been a little longer. I like books that I can enjoy for 5 to 10 hours long. I know it didn't cost much because of the shortness, I just like something I can enjoy longer. Good, enjoyable story This is a good book to read and relax with. The narrator did a great job reading the story. The story was cute and enjoyable. OK story about a town of shifters & 3 human girls. OK story about a town made just for bear shifters that allow 3 human sisiter to have a bakery. Of coarse they keep the shifter pupulation a secret till one day. The secret is out. This story is cute and I was surprised that there was diversity. A mommy and her little daughter were of asian decent. They were pandas.. OK purchase and listen. Hope there is more to the story via another book. Okay this story was full of redundant dialogue with minimal movement forward. I do like the concept so I'm hoping that the series picks up after book 1 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Changing-My-Mind-Audiobook/B002V5GQNC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I've bought all of his books, and he never disappoints. The dangerous visions of Lewis Shiner I first discovered Lewis Shiner about 16 years ago. I was looking for nothing more than a nice escapist book I could read. Wandering through the library I some how ran across Glimpses; being a Doors fan and a Rock `n' Roll fan in general I checked out the book (literally) and it was great! I found myself reading the book once a year for the next two years and discovered something new in it each time. As new books came out, Say Goodbye, Black & White, I haven't been disappointed in a book written by Lewis Shiner yet. Reading the stories in Collected Stories, I find myself thinking of it as something like Harlan Ellison's, Dangerous Visions. It's hard to say that comparison comes to mind, both books have a lot of science fiction stories in them. Both books have a paragraph or two written about the story; Shiner in an author's notes section following the stories, and Ellison as a preface to each story. The books don't feel similar in tone or content, all the stories in Collected Stories are Shiner's; in Dangerous Vision's Ellison acted as editor. So what makes me compare the two? Maybe, it's the personalization infused in each book. In Dangerous Vision's, Ellison had a preface of a paragraph or two on how the author came to write the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sticky-Fingers-Audiobook/B075V7Q2JZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I love a good short story, where the author manages to convey character and situation in a small miniature. Add in the touch of weird, the unexpected view point and I am hooked. Some of the stories in this collection do stand out while a couple didn't quite reach me (sorry, if I want to read an argument between a traveler and a resort, I'll just visit my favourite travel forum or local store). Overall, it is a great and well worth the read, specially when you consider that the story I disliked most was several reviewers' favourite. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review. Great collection of good stories. I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. I started listening to this book without much expectations. I typically listen to novel sized thrillers. So, this collection of bite sized short stories was good for a change. The different stories present in this collection are all of different kinds and you get to listen to a variety of stories that invoke different response from you. I would recommend listening to the different stories with some gaps between them. I listened to one story each day. That way, I was able to listen, enjoy and think over what I listened to. I like the way the author starts each of the stories and build the characters. The listener gets drawn into the story slowly and gets mesmerized in it. Each story has something different to offer. Some are better than others, but none are boring. The narration was great too. It matched the pacing of the story and mood. I would look forward to reading more from this author and listening to other books narrated by Bianca. A great collection of shorts. Feels like listening to a season of The Outer Limits. This is the third book I have gone through by JT Lawrence and I am truly a great fan of her writing. Whether in a short or in one of her stories, she is able to get me into the main characters mindset so quickly, it is something I really enjoy about her writing. The shorts cover a multitude of genres and tones, and most of them left me thinking about them later in my day. The narration by Bianca Flanders was good as well, and thought she did a good well getting all of the emotions and thoughts to come through. Having recently read a few short collections in the last few months, I will say this one is leaps and bounds the most consistently entertaining and interesting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Killer-Women-Audiobook/B01ITL6HI0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Some were better than others but they were all interesting enough to listen to. The best collection of short stories I have listened to. Great Collection I enjoyed listening to this collection of short stories that allowed me to see into the mind of the main characters. They grabbed my attention from beginning to end of each story. All of the performances of this collection were brilliantly executed. Dreadful Was expecting murder mystery stories. Got strange boring stories. Very disappointed by this book. Wouldn't recommend. A bit dissappointed I was enticed into reading this book by the free story which was superb. This volume has a half dozen good stories but the rest left me cold. Best format for regular long distance travel Thoroughly enjoyed the depth and range of stories, perfectly aligned with the dulcet tones of the narrators. An absolute joy from beginning to end, including the last chapter, which gave us a sleek peak into the minds of the authors, none of whom sounded remotely psycho! Which begs the question, how do such placid minds write such twisted fiction. worthy of a second, any third and fourth series, please. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Noir-Audiobook/B005H3G1PI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson. (Stephen King) Members Reviews: Not quite what I expected, and I expected more Compared to novels like "Stir of Echoes", these felt long and drawn out. I love the economy of language used in all three, however whether the narrator or the protrayal of women, these feel dated. Listening to them, I can understand why they've been out of print for so long. Each tale is about Regular Guy thrown into incredible situations - and reacting to them in ways that to modern folks seem unsophisticated or slow. Someone is Bleeding is Regular Guy doesn't know when how to walk away from Crazy. Fury on Sunday is Regular Guy trapped with escaped Crazy Ride the Nightmare is regular Guy's past catches up to his happy home. In every situation, Regular Guy can't seem to get out of his own way, making every wrong choice and compounding it with more wrong choices. It was tiring. However, I'm glad I read them and while they weren't what I was expecting it was good to get a little more Matheson under my belt. Narrator wise, Robertson Dean would not have been my first choice. Character inflection aside, his deep, resonating voice made the stories feel heavier than they probably were. This is one of those rare cases where physically reading the book may be to the Reader's advantage. Still struggling to get halfway, really bad Okay there is no character development, I'd like to kill myself with an ice pick listening to this. I have 7 more hours to go and I hate the two main characters! Story theme is weak again no character development, over describe the wrong things, I mean stale whiskey scent? Really... Oh pass on this unless you are desperate, as I was. I own over 240 audible books alone, not sure how many before this, I'm a thriller reader, this is not a thriller. Great Storytelling, Genius Writer Timeless story expertly crafted, written long before cellphones and computers, still as relevant and riveting as the day it was written. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fatal-Enemy-Audiobook/B00DR09VMS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In all honest, if I hadn't thoroughly enjoyed Diane Capri's Jordan Fox series, I would not have finished the first chapter of this story. Jess Kimble, is a victim's rights activists/investigative journalist who begins the story as a disgruntled ex-girlfriend who tried to keep the knowledge of a child from the father. But he found out, and the child was kidnapped. She is searching for her son. Now, Richard has fathered another child, and Jess is out to make sure he doesn't repeat his actions with the new mother after a divorce. With a murdered mother and a kidnapped child, all caught on camera, Canada will not turn over the killer because he will be facing the death penalty. Now it's up to Jess to find justice for Betsy. A well written story, but I'm not certain I like it, yet. I will read at least the next one in the series before making up my mind. Fast paced novella that will keep you riveted to your seat A fast paced, riveting novella. A great introduction to Jess Kimball and how she starts out. There is clearly more to her life than the reader is privy to, but there is enough to understand why she chose the profession she did and how she works within the law to work for the victims and to get to the truth. A great start to a new series from a great crime writer. Rating; 4.7 âïâïâïâïâï Great short story! Jess is an investigative reporter who is helping her friend protect her young daughter from her abusive ex-husband. He kidnaps the child and takes her to Canada where his family reside. Jess follows in a plot to bring the child safely back to the US and away from her father. Telling any more would be a spoiler, but this is a well written and well plotted story. Like 2nd in series better Not much to the plot. The next book in the series was much better. Kept me reading. It was over as quick as quickly as it started. It was really too short, if all the other books in this series are this short, you could combine them to make a decent length book. The main character is a good premise and the situation is believable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Highway-Kind-Tales-of-Fast-Cars-Desperate-Drivers-and-Dark-Roads-Audiobook/B01MA3HHUT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: SHE'S NOT YOUR FAKE WIFE, I AM REIGNING KING OF THE ANTHOLOGY WORLD I have tooted Adams' horn before. That title should be reigning king of the original anthology world. Dozier is the reigning king of the best of anthology world. I would think original anthologies would be harder. Your not picking from he best, you are picking writers and hoping they will not let you down. Adams is starting to get competition from George R.R. Martin and this book did not help his efforts. While this was a great subject, Adams was let down by some big names. I was expecting some good stuff from Lansdale, Card, Reynolds and Howey, but there stories were just phoned in. THERE WEREN'T NO BRAINS IN THIS OPERATION. DEAD WHITE MEN ARE GENEROUS. Seanan McGuire a.k.a. Mira Grant wrote the best story. There were also some strong showings by Resnick, Winters, Yu and Williams. I am finding that at least in the short story genre, Tad Williams can always be counted on to write something interesting and entertaining. IF YOUR GOING TO KILL ME, DO IT TO MY FACE I have read all three of Frederick Douglass' biographies, but in Tobias' Sundown I heard some exciting stuff not included in any of these biographies. EVERYTHING STARTS WITH ONE PERSON While Gigante is a good narrator, I would have liked to have heard a lot more narrators. Ross did good, but in my favorite story by McGuire, her male character had a tendency to drop his words at the end of a sentence and often I could not tell exactly what he said. The story was still good enough to make this a minor problem. Fun good collection Lot of good stories, some better than others most worth listening to. Narrators are fantastic. Overall great collection Superb for fans of Deadlands! Great collection of stories of the weird and macabre set in the American West. There is something for everyone, including Steampunk, Weird West and even a well written homage to Batman! Nice pastime Would you listen to Dead Man's Hand again? Why? Yes, There were several of the stories that could be heard more than once. Because of the humor in some and some was entertaining strange. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? More stories, but that's only because I'm greedy. It is a good wide collection of stories What about Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross s performance did you like? They had separated the different stories excellent. Without exaggerating their voice change. Who was the most memorable character of Dead Man's Hand and why? It's hard to choose..... The Devils Jack by Laura Anne Gilman or Neversleeps by Fred Van Lente... Or La Madre Del Oro by Jeffrey Ford No!!! The Golden Age by Walter Jon Williams, the Commodore was fun and weird. great collection! Great variety of subjects, scenarios, and perspectives. One of the better anthologies I've had the pleasure of listening to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Strong-Land-Audiobook/B01N23FDUF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Best Crime Stories Ever Told Author: Dorothy L. Sayers (editor) Narrator: Robin Bloodworth, Suehyla El Attar Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: When acclaimed mystery writer Dorothy L. Sayers first began compiling anthologies of the best crime stories in the 1920s and 30s, the genre was in the flush of its first golden age. While it is hard to imagine today - after every possible mystery plot has been told, retold, subverted, and played straight again by hundreds of writers over nearly a century - in Sayerss day there were still twists that had never been seen, and machinations of crime that would shock even jaded Jazz Age fans. Now todays fans of mystery and crime can experience a handpicked collection of over thirty of the most outstanding stories from this era, originally chosen by Sayers and newly introduced by Otto Penzler, a leading expert and connoisseur in the field of mystery literature. As a prolific writer of the genre, Sayers understood the difficulty of putting together a mystery that was not only sufficiently challenging (so that the solution was not immediately obvious to the listener), but also solvable without forcing the writer to cheat. That balance between opacity and solvability remains the greatest challenge of writing great crime stories - and these are some of the greatest. Authors appearing in this collection include: Editorial Reviews: Being an acclaimed mystery writer herself, Dorothy L. Sayers knows a thing or two about what makes a story captivating. In this anthology of short fiction, Sayers compiles over 30 of the best mysteries from the early 1900s, a veritable golden age for the genre. Robin Bloodworth and Suehyla El Attar perform with a robust gusto, clearly reveling in these classic tales by such luminaries as Edgar Allen Poe, Herman Melville, and H. G. Wells. Listeners will be thrilled by the many treasures unearthed in The Best Crime Stories Ever Told. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dorothy L.

What a disappointment, I love the crime books of Sayers, However, this collection degenerated into an anthology of ghost stories - not interested in Ghost stories and the write up should perhaps have been a bit more explanatory. Has The Best Crime Stories Ever Told turned you off from other books in this genre? No - The book is not a collection of Crime Stories. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robin Bloodworth and Suehyla El Attar ? Any one else would have been better as a narrator, he is particularly hard to listen to and the material did not help. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really, it was long and I felt I had to give it a chance, but half way through book 3 I gave up. I wanted crime not ghost stories or philosophizing. Any additional comments? Audible should perhaps give a more accurate write up. The least favourite book I have chosen so far, but I guess there are going to be books I don't love. Having said that someone who liked this genre may love the book, I just felt a little cheated - by Sayers - is that a little weird? Don't bother if you hate fake British accents. Robin Bloodworth has almost singlehandedly ruined one of my favorite genres. The stories are intriguing, but I can't get past that voice. Fake British accent, drawling to the point of driving someone, who loves legit British accents, mad. In his regular voice he sounds OK American. I'm a diehard Sayers fan. Or at least I was. Confused A bit confused. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Madame-Zero-Audiobook/B07116CKDQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a strange, thoughtful, and wonderfully written collection !!! warning: a couple of stories in this work, specifically case study 2, later his ghost, and evie have implied rape/csa or are sexually violent, and theatre 6 is a gorey depiction of failed pregnancy. --- i really enjoyed this. if you've ever read hall's previous short story collection, 'the beautiful indifference', a lot of the work presented in 'madame zero' feels a lot like the last story, 'vuotjärvi'--kind of haunting and foreboding. it's not quite as sexual and erotic as her previous collection (except that last story, which was...whew!). more of the stories here are varied in subject; where 'the beautiful indifference' revolved around the loneliness in mostly women's love lives, 'madame zero' only has two stories that use that as the focus. obviously, hall's writing is great. it isn't very different from the way she usually writes and she's one of the few writers that have such a wonderful and fluid style. i'd say that a lot of the stories in 'madame zero' are unsettling and strange. i don't want to give away too much, but a lot of the stories seem to be observations or speculations on the human condition (questions about what makes us human, how we endure or adapt in the face of adversity, how we acknowledge or react to death). which is great! because i have always had a lot of difficulty reading hall's full-length novels (her writing is amazing, but the stories aren't very eventful). there were two stories featured that i didn't understand (theatre no. 6 and wilderness, the latter was just...insufferable to say the least), which is to be expected as this collection seems to be more experiential than a lot of hall's previous work, but the other stories were wonderful and memorable. i'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to read something different! "Hallâs stories are dark and strange, sensual and finely worded, literary without being pretentious."

Members Reviews: Old (Testament) School Murder Mysteries I am a total old-school Mystery freak, and when I heard Anne Perry had a collection of fantastic whodunits based on stories from the old testament, I jumped on it. One thing you can say for the Bible is it is an age-old fount of the lurid mystery going back to the first recorded murder. Here we have stories from first-rate writers such as Simon Brett, Sharyn McCrumb, Peter Robinson, Nancy Pickard, and Anne Perry herself. Theyre full of arch twists on biblical stories, Moses in Slavery-era America, John the Baptist in the mob, and always, always entertaining. Tavia Gilbert, Eric Pollins, and Aaron Abano keep the suspense tight--even when youve already heard the storylong ago in Sunday school. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fully-Loaded-Thrillers-Audiobook/B00PHF69H6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Dove Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-14 Publisher: Mountainside Books, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: From the author of the Wayward Pines Trilogy, comes this collection of short stories. "*69" - Tim and Laura West receive a bizarre voicemail on their answering machine that seems to have unintentionally recorded a brutal murder. But what happens when the killer realizes their mistake? This story develops over one terrifying evening, and this young couple will never be the same. "Remaking" - Tragic events unfold in a snowy, sleepy Colorado town. From the first scene, in which a man sits alone in the cold, watching a father and son in a diner, you know something is about to go horribly wrong. "On The Good, Red Road" - A group of four hard men trying to reach a remote 19th Century mining town become stranded in an early blizzard and resort to drastic, terrifying measures, to stay alive. "Shining Rock" - An older couple encounter a strange and menacing visitor during a camping trip in the North Carolina mountains. Friendly at first, this stranger seems to know them, and their secrets. "Perfect Little Town" - Ron and Jessica Stahl are a power couple from California, on a Christmas holiday in Colorado. When they stop for the afternoon in sleepy Lone Cone, they're charmed by the quaint tourist town. But the folksy hospitality will vanish as the sun drops behind the mountains. "The Newton Boys' Last Photograph" - At 25 words, the shortest story I ever wrote. But it packs a wallop. "The Meteorologist" - Peter, a disgraced meteorologist and chronic wanderer, has traveled the country for years in his Winnebago, in search of the only thing that gives his life meaning. He's just arrived in the middle of nowhere - Hokie, Kansas - for the same purpose, but when he meets a waitress named Melanie, another sufferer, he's faced not only with his first real human contact in years, but perhaps someone who can save him. "Unconditional" - A conversation between two people-devastating, tragic, and beautiful. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Blake Crouch) Wed, 12 Nov 2014 23:14:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fully-Loaded-Thrillers-Audiobook/B00PHF69H6 thebookvoice.com 04:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: YOU CAN'T COME UP AGAINST A WHOLE TOWN THE MOST DIFFICULT STORY EVER WRITTEN These are all good stories, not a loser in the bunch. They include a western, a scary town (not Wayward Pines, but similar), stories with nasty twists, and a sad story about unconditional love, plus more. Narrators are great, and do not be confused by the written by line, Luke Daniels did not write any of these, he should be listed as a narrator only. Good compilation of his short stories Some of the stories were great, others not so much. I enjoyed it overall.

Members Reviews: Great entertainment Would you consider the audio edition of Lonely Pines: A Medical Short Story Wherein the Future Rescues the Past to be better than the print version? The audio is great. It feels more real than the printed version, because the voice of the reader is so rich and powerful. It is such a pleasure to listen to. I liked the printed version, but really enjoy the ease of an audiobook. It is so relaxing to listen, rather than read. What did you like best about this story? The ending. It is so uplifting. It also flows really well throughout the story. What about Kenneth Campbells performance did you like? His voice and attention to detail is superb. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I found it very enjoyable. It was moving in some parts. Any additional comments? I recommend it strongly. It is great. Time travel anyone? It's an interesting story, a bit strange to get your mind around. A man travels into the past to save his own life. It raises so many questions in my mind and I find myself thinking around and around in circles and not going anywhere and yet it's quite interesting. It's a bit of a chicken or the egg situation. The narration was OK, a bit stilted in the scenes where the characters are showing strong emotions, but overall OK. I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher in exchange for an honest review. If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below. A really enjoyable short Any additional comments? Wonderful narration and a gripping story are all packaged in a perfect length for maximum impact. I cannot believe how much I enjoyed this and I will listen again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Selected-Shorts-Even-More-Laughs-Audiobook/B0047D0RLS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Smiling more than laughing Ironically the best story from this compilation was the once that was given away for free. My main problem with this audiobook is that a lot of the stories aren't that funny. Yes, I probably smiled a little during each of them but really didn't laugh all that much. Even more laughs than what? I am a very big fan of short stories and have listened to the Selected Shorts program for over 20 years. I have heard many really funny stories over the years. These are mostly humorous, but not really among the funniest. Indeed check out the American Classics volume for some really funny (and touching and creepy) stories. Several of these stories were really trying to be funny, but did not work for me. First time laughing on a book Really enjoable, 6 out of 8 are excellent and acted out really great, the other two are pretencious and not ironic at all it was good had an old flavor to it but was entertaining at its core to see how humor was back then Just...just bad I'm a lover of dry, wry wit...but for god's sake, this is horrible. This is the sort of dribble you dread sitting through at a boring friend's dinner party. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Tractate-Middoth-Audiobook/B00HAPZ904 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What's even worse is if they can't quite manage to die. This is very fun and very much a case of that. Enjoy. not engaging enough 5 stars for David Suchet reading, but the story really didn't hold my interest enough. LIGHT ON FRIGHTS, BUT WORTH A LISTEN What did you like best about The Tractate Middoth? What did you like least? The Tractate Middoth is one of the least scary of M. R. James's tales and it's to David Suchet's credit that he has resisted the temptation to ham it up. His precise, understated delivery ensures that such disquieting moments as the story has do not leap out at the listener but slide insidiously into his or her mind.Only the burst of music at the start of this recording strikes the wrong note. It's neither eerie nor ominous - just irritating! Ghost story typical of the 19th genre Would you listen to The Tractate Middoth again? Why? Possibly, if i had a little time to kill. Nothing in the story to warrant a rereading but classical stye writing and a good reading would stand repeating ( Since the book is well under an hour long) If youve listened to books by M. R. James before, how does this one compare? Read several of the authors shorts, this one is very typical. I wonder why they are published as seperate books rather than as a collection - i have five and in total they do not add up to even a short novel, under four hours. What does David Suchet bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Suchet is unobtrusive, i read to myself unobtrusively ergo . . . Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Necessary to listen to in one reading due to it nature and length Any additional comments? Good classic style writing and fine reading. Very typical of the genre and the other stories by James. This review to be attached to each of the other short stories by the autor, vis a vis their reviews to this. Ah.. had they be published as a collection i would only have to write one! The tractate midohte David suchet has a wonderful voice that is perfect for conveying the sinister air of this one of M R James greatest ghost stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Rider-of-the-Ruby-Hills-Audiobook/B00NLPC0NG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: L'Amour's as his usual greatness Can't say enough about his writing ability. He just had a gift for it. His books can bes read over and over and still be enjoyed. No unnecessary or wasted words from Lewis. I highly recommend this novel and all of his other books. Four Stars Louis L'amour is always excellent. This is a compilation of short-stories. If you like Louis, you'll love it. Very good book. Keeps you riveted until the end. As is typical for Lewis L'Amour, he paints good word pictures that takes you there. Short Stories Bought this short stories book, as a gift, along with many others. The legend goes that Louis L'Amour started his impressively long career writing short stories for a paper. Later in life, he expanded many of his short stories into novels. After he passed on, his family had much of his unfinished work published in his honor. If it's not BANTAM, it's not official. An Enjoyable Read I have been reading Louis LAmour novels for years and I haven't read one yet that I didn't enjoy. This book ranks up there with the rest of them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/All-Aunt-Hagars-Children-Audiobook/B002V0TN7I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: All Aunt Hagar's Children Subtitle: Selected Stories Author: Edward P. Jones Narrator: James Peter Francis Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-06 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Returning to the city that inspired his first prize-winning book, Lost in the City, Jones has filled this new collection with people who call Washington, D.C., home. Yet it is not the city's power brokers that most concern him but rather its ordinary citizens. All Aunt Hagar's Children turns an unflinching eye to the men, women, and children caught between the old ways of the South and the temptations that await them further north, people who in Jones' masterful hands, emerge as fully human and morally complex, whether they are country folk used to getting up with the chickens or people with centuries of education behind them. In the title story, in which Jones employs the first-person rhythms of a classic detective story, a Korean War veteran investigates the death of a family friend whose sorry destiny seems inextricable from his mother's own violent Southern childhood. In "In the Blink of God's Eye" and "Tapestry", newly married couples leave behind the familiarity of rural life to pursue lives of urban promise, only to be challenged and disappointed. With the legacy of slavery just a stone's throw away and the future uncertain, Jones' cornucopia of characters will haunt readers for years to come. Critic Reviews: "Jones' stories are rich in detail and emotions." (Booklist) "A complex, sometimes somber collection....Each of its denizens comes through with his own particular ways and means for survival, often dependent on chance, and rendered with unsentimental sympathy and force."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: I JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS! Began listening to this and realized that "Lost in the City" comes first. So I switched. Loved the narrator. Enjoyed the first few hours. And I reviewed "The Known World" and thought it was wonderful. These books are all extremely well written and well read. "Lost in the City" has left me too stunned and far down to come back to this one. I need to bail to something more uplifting. Superb The voice of the narrator is enchanting and the stories are small worlds unto themselves. Listening to this book while attempting to do other things is dangerous because it so completely engages one's imagination. This is Jones's follow up to his earlier collection of stories called Lost in the City, and it provides both past and future to some of the earlier characters. But you don't need to have read Lost in the City to fully enjoy this book. Jones does for Washington, D.C. what Faulkner did for Yoknapatawpha. Characters you love to hate This book is not to be missed. Not only are Jones's characters unforgettable (even those with a dark side), the narrator is just fantastic.

If so, why? but I really prefer Robert Hardy's performance. Having said that, I will listen to this book again. This is the second collection of Rumpole stories, and if you enjoyed the first book, there is no reason you won't like these. because Horace Rumpole is here in all his subversive glory! A true advocate, Rumpole believes that every defendant is entitled to a vigorous defense, even if they are a member of the Timson clan. To that end, he continues to actively resist the efforts of his wife and fellow members of chambers to become a judge, "take silk," or retire: he wants to continue to be "Rumpole of the Bailey:" drinker of plonk, smoker of cheap cigars and wearing of disreputable hats! A pompous and exaggerated actor ruins the story I like Rumpole, but was completely turned off by the pompousover-acting. The actor exaggerated every Edward intern of speech, it was unpleasant to listen to, and entirely squashed the gentle irony of the story https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Jeff-Resnick-Six-Pack-Audiobook/B015GCJ1NS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful books to listen to Would you listen to A Jeff Resnick Six Pack again? Why? Yes, the narration was easy to listen to and easy to understand. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Jeff Resnick Six Pack? When Jeff shows that he is not a fake. Which scene was your favorite? When Jeff had to take care of the baby by himself. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? This is the first audible that I have listened to. I was able to do things around the house at the same time and I really liked that freedom. I received a free copy of this from the author and am very pleased that I listened to this. Highly recommend and I will look into getting more audibles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Legends-II-New-Short-Novels-by-the-Masters-of-Modern-Fantasy-Audiobook/B002V0A66U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: George R.R. Martin worth the price of admission! For those of us waiting for the next GRRM book, this is a great appetizer to tide us over before the feast. Plus it continues the story Dunk and Egg from the first Legends. The narrator is excellent. I'm not a Pern fan, but if you are you might enjoy that one also. Both storys are good I downloaded this book for the Anne McCaffrey story she is one of favorite authors. I found both storys good. The Anne McCaffery story 'Beyond Between' explains what happens to Dragon riders who get stuck in between. It was very intertaining and inlightning but way too short. I NEED MORE G.R.R MARTIN BOOKS!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Legends II, New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy to be better than the print version? YES Who was your favorite character and why? EGG,HE ALWAYS HAS A GREAT ANSWER. What about Graeme Malcolm and Alyssa Bresnahan s performance did you like? YES,THEY BOTH DID A GREAT JOB I WOULD LISTEN AGAIN. If you could take any character from Legends II, New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy out to dinner, who would it be and why? THE GIRL WITH FOUR DEAD HUSBANDS.YOU KNOW SHE WILL GIVE U A GOOD TIME.AND IT WONT LAST LONG.. Any additional comments? I HAVE READ TWO SO FAR THIS BOOK AND WARRIORS,I CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO THE OTHER TWO,THEIR QUICK AND TO THE POINT. Beyond Between A bridging short story to explain the Moretta saga. A little weak on story development, but then this is a fantasy World. To have more information on what happened, is very nice, this does provide a form of closure for a very loved character from the series. loved both G.R.R. Martin was a continuing of another short story of his and I loved that. and as a life long fan of Anne Mccaffrey and Pern - the story brought me to tears. highly recommended! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Ash-Tree-Audiobook/B00HAKIBSQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A as as A as Test T v bhai h b v b n v h g c b n v g h hmmm Here Hare Here Poor Mrs Mothersole. Yet another unfortunate victim of a witch hunt........ But then again, perhaps not so innocent? Traditional ghost yarn If you could sum up The Ash Tree in three words, what would they be? Traditional, 19th century, classical What other book might you compare The Ash Tree to, and why? Really dont know much of this genre but typical a 19th century short story ghost writing. Perhaps E A Poe. What about David Suchets performance did you like? Suchet reads with consumate ease and clarity well suited to the book Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? This is a "short" story, well under the hour. The length and genre means it needs to be a single listen Classic mystery A short but enjoyable listen. Not terrifying but supernatural, with elements of the gothic tradition to make it darker and with a clear moral lesson so favoured by writers of the period. David Suchet is excellent and has such a gentle voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Twisted-Selected-Unabridged-Stories-Audiobook/B002V0A5AC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Outstanding, gripping, brilliant, spectacular." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: hooray for great plotting! Listening to this book in my car made me wish for a traffic jam! Very engaging, well-written stories with some great twists. If plot is your thing I highly recommend it. Mystery Lite The word that comes to mind when I want to recommend this audio listen is fun. The stories are not humurous but very entertaining and don't require a great deal of concentration. A perfect choice when doing chores or errands. None of the stories are very long and I found it easy to pick up where I left off during a day filled with multiple short drives. I enjoy reading books of short stories but this is my first time listening and definitely won't be the last time. The other reviews give you a good idea what the stories are like I just wanted to stress how well they are done. Portable Hitchcock The stories are of a genre (laconic but good exposition and then Whamo) Perfect for those down times (on the train, the line at the supermarket) when a short story is just the ticket. My frustration was that when I had even less time than one short story -- I found it hard to find my place again. The stories are good but listening to the last page over so that one can find the next story is frustrating. I would't recomend listening to all in sequence -- they are too similar. Hey audible -- what would you think of selling a set of short stories one could download one story at a time ? I miss Pendergast! No spoilers here, but I fell in love with Special Agent Pendergast from previous Audible listens (Cabinet of Curiousity, Still Life with Crows, etc) and eagerly awaited this book's release. We catch up with familiar characters but in many ways I felt like the story was written by someone else entirely and was simply transitioning us to the next book which would then wrap things up nicely. I was a little disappointed with this book, but still look forward to the next book to see if things return to normal. Good mix Nice variation of narrators, good plots, all with a "twist". My wife is the type who figures out movies and books right from the beginning, and she didn't figure all these out either. I really enjoyed this series, but I didn't like the follow up book near as much. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Secrets-Revealed-Audiobook/B01F0RGE66 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Keep the episodes coming! Leydy Otero continues to hold my interest with this second installment where we find Camille in more trouble, and Jason coming to her rescue. We are able to find out some background information on both of these characters, but not enough to know exactly what is going on yet!!! So many thoughts go through your head trying to figure out the next step and where it will lead these two. With Aaron Shedlock's narration, it's easy to get lost in the suspense and romance of this episode and hope that the series will continue! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Willy-and-Alvirah-Audiobook/B002V02JKG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book Love all of her books. Unfortunately, I have read all of them that are currently out. Something A Bit Different From Higgins Clark Instead of her usual intriguing story, this is a collection of good shorter stories. Not quite as enthralling as her usual novels, but still worth reading... Observant Love for people make this couple friends everyone wants. Enjoying life has given them opportunities and travel to seek help for others. They both risk it all over and over. Alvira ' Short Stories Lottery winners Alvira and her husband Willy stumble onto and solve a series of mysteries in each story. Their lives as cleaning woman and p!umber help them, although they're now immensely rich and living a completely different lifestyle. Cutely done read. Fun book. I love all of Mary Higgins Clark,s books. They are always fast paced and hold your interest. I look forward to reading her next book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bring-on-the-Psychobitch-Audiobook/B078JTYK8Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He also happens to be a top-notch detective, possessing that rarest of all gifts - an intuition that never fails. (P)2009 Audio Holdings, LLC Editorial Reviews: In "The Blue Cross", G. K. Chesterton first introduces Father Brown, his famed fictional detective who moonlights as a Catholic priest (or vice versa). Unlike the other 50 detective stories in the Father Brown series, this plot follows the action of Valentin, head of the Paris police department, rather than the priest himself. There is, however, plenty of Father Brown's sagacity, reason, and psychological insight on display here. James Arthur brings a classical English accent to this tale of cross-Channel intrigue. When the performance requires it, Arthur easily slips into a French accent or French prose itself, but for the most part his absorbing voice is staunchly British, worthy of a highly educated clergyman. biacuaduc@gmail.com (G.

The match of readings and reader are always interesting. All of the stories in this offering are good, but "On the U.S.S. Fortitude" is absolutely delightful. The radio show is a weekly hour-long show featuring similar readings including classic as well as modern short stories. I'd love to see them provide a weekly subscription and some old compilations which they released on cassette, particularly a wonderful baseball compilation.

Fortitude"; 2:56???3:04:57 * Etgar Keret's "Fatso" Creative Writing (and Reading) done well This is a great selection of truly entertaining stories. I could not predict the outcome of a single plot - and my outbursts of laughter had more than a few people baffled on my flight home from Denver. The readers are as great as the stories - whoever cast them was a genius. I also enjoyed the shorter formats (about 30 minutes each) which made room for enough details, but didn't drag things out. Do be prepared that there is some adult language in two of the stories, and some downright explicit situations in the last piece. If it weren't for the language in the last story (which was still a great story) I would have recommended this listen for all age groups. Funny stories, poor audio These stories were entertaining, and in a sort of way I'm not used to - quite fun. The only downside I had to this recording was that the volume levels were so extreme I was constantly having to grab the volume knob on the radio in the vehicle while driving - from barely audible to blaringly loud. shorts I am a huge npr shorts fan. they never let me down. this one didn't either! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Billionaire-CEO-Audiobook/B078N4QHJ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But then I had to get a call from him...Jeremy Hoffman. I'd heard that the successful CEO could be a bit of...a jerk. But when I walked into his office, I nearly had to pick up my jaw from the ground. His corporate picture did him no justice. He was all muscle, sex, and power sitting behind his big CEO desk. Jeremy I work hard, but I play harder. I'm a self-made man - I've got billions. I take what I want, who I want, when I want.

He worked hard on a proposal to save his company only to have the computer fail to boot when he needed the proposal so he through a fit of rage, broke the laptop. Samantha is a no nonsense, hold nothing back beautiful woman. She is an IT Project Manager who stumbles into a seemingly impossible situation with Max. Her quest...retrieve the necessary proposal from said trashed laptop. As if hit upside his head, Max really takes an appreciative look at Samantha. Her beauty, her curves... He simply must have her. Does Samantha notice the ever egotistical CEO as well? Will she be able to retrieve it in time to save her job? Can she pull all the stops & get the information Max needs to save his company? What will come of these two very alpha god & goddess? Get yourself a copy of the book & see how their story unfolds. I voluntarily read this ARC & this is my honest review Hot and Steamy read! Samantha was a tech specialist. Jeremy Hoffman was an egotistical JERK! He was CEO of Hoffman Global Enterprises. He had a very short temper and if things didn't go his way he lost it. He had a proposal for a buyout and could not get it on his computer. It came up as an error. He had his secretary call the hot line. Samantha answered and went to his office. She found the computer smashed and broken, as Jeremy threw it against the wall. He wanted the files now. Sam took the computer and started to download which could take days. Jeremy wanted it that day. He called her boss and demanded that she be fired. This is one cute hot steamy book, with Samantha as a spitfire, that Jeremy didn't know how to handle. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. The billionaire finds help and love with the IT tech I like finding new authors to read so this book and this author Ms. Jolie Day is kind of a nice surprise. Sure the story is short but what it lacks in length it still gives a nice little story with some nicely drawn out characters. I wouldnât have minded if the book would have been a little bit longer but it was a great little afternoon read. Jeremy Hoffman billionaire CEO of his company Hoffman Global Enterprises canât get his computer to work and has been attempting to retrieve a file proposal from his defunct computer. So in a fit of rage he throws the computer but his secretary decides to help him by calling an IT tech Samantha Lowman that works for him in order to fix it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Beware-of-the-Trains-Audiobook/B00B5XGLZ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very Nice A good selection of short stories, narrated well and written to hold interest. Clues are fair and the plots well thought out. (I think Edmund Crispin was a founder member of the Detective Writers' Club who formed the rules for writing detective fiction so as to be fair to the reader). I found this highly entertaining and would have no trouble recommending it. Thank you, Audible, for introducing some classic detective fiction that is extremely well read. Classic Crispin A slightly breathless delivery in this narration but well characterised. Short stories, many including Inspector Humbleby, with the usual Crispin twists and unlikely plots. All good fun and a must for Crispin/Fen fans. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Innocence-of-Father-Brown-Audiobook/B002V1OC2I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

David Timson, having completed the whole of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon, a remarkable achievement, turns his hand to the genial but certainly not innocent priest! This collection contains a group of stories from the Innocence of Father Brown, told unabridged. Editorial Reviews: Chesterton's stories of Father Brown, a self-effacing priest who applies his brilliant mind to solving mysteries, are often implausible, melodramatic, and dated. Still, they entertain, and David Timson reads the first six here with loving care. He gives Brown a mild voice, but likable and not weak, and provides other character voices without strain or caricature, including accents. (His American is very good.) His warm, rich, naturally expressive voice not only conveys meaning and emotion but also brings an overall tone of amusement to the stories, letting us know how to take them - this is voice as interpretation. That may seem affected, but Chesterton's stories, self-consciously clever romances addicted to paradox and disputation, are far from naturalistic.

David Timson is always an amazing narrator, but here he surpasses himself as he renders innocents and villains with equal aplomb. Father Brown himself is unique and unforgettable, as are many of the ancillary characters, and the settings are varied and delightfully rendered. I recommend the two volumes to those who love a good short story collection, classic mysteries, or just long for a little trip back into a world forever lost to us. Enjoy them. Not all of the stories Would you try another book from G. K. Chesterton and/or David Timson? This is only 6 of the 12 stories. Therefore, most definitely NOT unabridged. Disappointed. Would you ever listen to anything by G. K. Chesterton again? Yes, we love G.K. Chesterton. Just wanted the whole book instead of only half. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Masters-of-Seduction-Volume-1-Audiobook/B00O9ESTTC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Truly one of the worst on Audible. Arika Rapson sounds like a over-blown caricature of a mid-western housewife from an SNL skit. There, I said it. I know it's mean, but it's all I can think of when I hear her sour, grating voice. I don't know if the book is good or not, because I can't get past the first 5 minutes of her voice.

Members Reviews: Everything I love about Eloisa James Who was your favorite character and why? Phillipa was hilarious. Her character was candid and bold. What about Nicola Barbers performance did you like? She made both the male and female characters seem believable and managed the accent of Wick well. So Sweet A great listen The story, the characters, the narrator. I LOVED the mother-in-law, she was hyserical. It's great when a romance novel has LOL scenes. DELIGHTFUL I wish it were longer. This was a happy romance about a young woman determined to control her own destiny. It was funny, never was there a dull moment and performed by one of my favorite narrator's. 3 stars. Sweet, nice, enjoyable romance story. STORY BRIEF: Phillipa and Rodney had been friends since childhood. Their parents want them to marry. Phillipa does not want to marry Rodney and runs away. She loves babies and hears that the nearby Prince and his bride have a newborn baby with problems. Phillipa goes there to work as the babys nursemaid. She meets Wick the butler. Wick is the Princes half brother. He feels he can never marry a lady due to his servant-station in life. REVIEWERS OPINION: I liked Phillipas actions and conversation when she arrived at the castle and did things for the baby. The story and how it resolved was good. Its a short story - maybe a fourth of the length of a regular book. The narrator was excellent. There were two sex scenes which were ok, but dont expect hot. The purpose was showing relationships, not to steam up the reader. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but its better if you read A Kiss at Midnight first. I enjoyed getting to know Wick in the first book which flowed into this book. Genre: regency romance. great ending of series i enjoyed it, incorporated characters well and was a good story, a little too much self doubt but still enjoyed https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Guy-de-Maupassant-Selected-Stories-Audiobook/B004LDE2GK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not his best stories and not the greatest reader What did you like best about Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories? What did you like least? Occasional good story. Really bad reader(s). What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) N/A What didnt you like about the narratorss performance? Very stilted, annoying Boston or Bronx accent. Could you see Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? N/A Any additional comments? Yeah, don't let this guy read anymore. From the reader of "The Horla", anyway. It was so disturbing listening to his plodding, badly-accented speech that it really took any enjoyment away from the story. Excellent stories ruined. What disappointed you about Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories? Such excellent stories Guy de Maupassant writes such insightful and carefully crafted gems ruined by mechanical reading. Reader after reader fails to add any emphasis, drama or life to these fascinating stories. I cannot remember enduring such poor readings since school when each member of the class was pressganged into reading a part in a Shakespeare play. Any additional comments? There must be better readings of these excellent stories elsewhere I would recommend anyone to go and find them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Greatest-Mysteries-of-All-Time-Volume-4-Audiobook/B003HE8GMA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a short and sweet classic This classic short actually has a short but profound message. It uses a lot of words to get there, but that is to he expected given the year written. Easy to listen; pleasant reader Good narration. Easy to tell characters apart. It's a fun Poe story. Enjoyed the story and would listen to these readers again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Christmas-Book-at-Bedtime-Complete-Series-Audiobook/B004EZPGY2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Christmas Stories From The BBC I almost skipped this enchanting collection of stories set around the holiday season and coming from around the world because of warning reviews. I am so glad I went ahead and gave the collection a chance. What a delight it turned out to be! The narration was perfection with each story read by a different actor--each completely invested in the production--putting in masterful performances. It couldn't have been better. The stories are just plain wonderful. A positive collection filled with varying experiences and points of view that I think it would be a shame to judge and discard them so lightly. The story that caused the troublesome reviews was Christmas in New York. The funny thing is is that this story was written by Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as a child and loved it. I reread it as an adult and was surprised by how adult the focus and and language was in the stories. The swearing is fairly mild. I find it amusing that the story in question was written for children and about children growing up in the tenements in NYC. To me, this was a beautiful and thoughtful collection of holiday stories--all of which were evocative of celebrations and merrymaking from many perspectives, angles and worlds. So glad I found it. Charming Christmas Collection These beautiful stories are short selections and stories narrated wonderfully well by some very talented British actors. This collection absolutely set the mood for my Christmas season this year and I expect for many more to come. The eight Christmas stories and storytellers include: 1. Winter (from Cider with Rosie) by Laurie Lee, read by Patricia Routledge. 2. Baboushka by Arthur Scholey, read by Diana Rigg. 3. Christmas at Dingley Dell (from the Pickwick Papers) by Charles Dickens, read by Derek Jacobi. 4. The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, read by Judi Dench. 5. Dulce Domum (from The Wind in the Willows) by Kenneth Grahame, read by Richard Briers. 6. A Second Christmas in Kenya (from The flame trees of Thika) by Elspeth Huxley, read by Felicity Kendal. 7. Christmas Eve in New York (from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) by Betsy Smith, read by Miriam Margolyes. 8. Christmas Truce (from A Fox Under My Cloak) by Henry Williamson, read by Tim Pigott Smith. *Note: 'Christmas Eve in New York' does contain language that may not be appropriate for children or those who don't enjoy that sort of thing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fairy-Stories-Fairy-Stories-Audiobook/B01BH793FM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories Subtitle: Traditional Tales for Children, Contemporary Tales for Adults Author: Clive Johnson Narrator: Clive Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-16 Publisher: Labyrinthe Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Fairy stories have captivated the hearts and minds of children over many centuries. With their stories of witches and fairies, enchanting castles, and beautiful princesses, they contain all the right ingredients for exciting a young mind. But as is well known, the truths that can be found within these timeless compositions are rich in meaning and metaphor. In this innovative book, narrated by the author, seven traditional tales are beautifully retold. Appealing to children, these are also intended to inspire new meaning for adults. Combined with each classical retelling is a short story that aims to maintain the spirit and messages contained in the children's versions. These parallel stories are specifically written for adults, set in a wide range of environments, and featuring characters who encounter a whole host of very real human challenges and dilemmas. Loan sharks and wife-beaters, compulsive gamblers and manslaughterers all feature here. But, so too, do stories of transformation and redemption, and journeys of self-discovery and unlikely friendship. Each pair of stories is accompanied by a commentary on how they might be interpreted. The result is a collection of wonderful tales that may continue to enthrall children, whilst offering fresh levels of meaning that might be appreciated by an older audience. Please note: The traditional tales that are included in this title (and having familiar titles) are suitable for children. Each new, parallel tale is intended for an adult audience. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Clive Johnson) Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:09:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fairy-Stories-Fairy-Stories-Audiobook/B01BH793FM thebookvoice.com 05:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: great writer, great narrator Would you consider the audio edition of Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories to be better than the print version? definitely, it is the work of story teller. What did you like best about this story? the arch and flow Have you listened to any of Clive Johnsons other performances before? How does this one compare? great work, very lyrical If you could take any character from Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories out to dinner, who would it be and why? all of them Any additional comments? brilliant, a masterpiece, I love Clive Johnson Clive Johnson is a 21st Century Aesop Would you consider the audio edition of Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories to be better than the print version? Yes, dramatically. You really have to hear it, because it's drama, in the truest sense of the word. And it's real art. What was one of the most memorable moments of Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories? I love the part about the wayward vicar and his understanding wife. Have you listened to any of Clive Johnsons other performances before? How does this one compare? This was not narrated by Clive Johnson. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? All of the above. Any additional comments? A very wise and (more importantly!) entertaining book. Clive Johnson is a genius Where does Fairy Stories & Fairy Stories rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I bought this because I'm a big fan of J.-M. Kuczynski's podcast on podomatic, Analytic Philosophy, and Kuczynski has been hard-selling this guy. That said, it is a good book, and I'm glad I bought it, for the reasons that Kuczynski says. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sherlock-Holmes-The-Adventure-of-the-Blue-Carbuncle-Audiobook/B004UB4M36 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narrators all did an excellent job. The subject matter is intriguing; relationships mostly, and poignant and funny at the same time.

Praise for Audible Updike This collection of short stories is by far the best and most worth while purchase from Audible. Updike is a master of prose and easily the best writer of our time. This is the only audio book of his that I have been able to locate. Updike himself reads a few of the selections in this audiobook, one of which is "Lifegaurd;" arguably his best and most profound short story. Edward Herman reads the nastalgic and comical "A&P" as well as some other selections. This product is a worthwhile purchase that is sure to please any lover of quality literature or masterful stories. This is a nice introduction to Updike If you haven't read Updike, this is a great introduction. It has excellent readers (including Updike himself on a couple of stories) & it typifies his close examination of the lives-&-loves of middle-class WASP life ... lives that have echoes in any ethnic group & really in any developed society or the middle-class of a developing one. The stories are written in such a way that you cannot fail to be drawn into the concerns of the characters, to feel sympathy/empathy for them, in accordance with your own experience. This is a "light" piece in the repertoire of Audible. Good to have it in between two heavy history works or other "challenging" books. A good respite, and very entertaining. great This was my first introduction to John Updike. Have a friend who warned me against the novels, but I attempted the short stories anyhow. The short stories in this collection are so well written, I am in awe of them. Narration, some of it by Updike himself, is also superb. Reminds me of Tobias Wolf in style, but most stories do not have a clear-cut theme. You have to do your own searching and deconstructing to find the hidden gems. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rumpole-a-la-Carte-Audiobook/B002V1LFT6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: it was not good and I can not play it at all This was a very unnsatisfactory purchase. The cassette tape stopped playing the first time. The tape is marked "Used. Very Good". In point of fact, it was not good and I can not play it at all. To whom do I return the cassette and how do I receive the promised refund? I will not buy again from Amazon unless the price is refunded. Robert S. Campbell, Lawyer, . Thank you for your immediate response. I LOVE Rumpole I have read and reread all of the Rumpole books; I never tire of him. He's witty, sarcastic, clever, ingenious, spirited, honest to a fault, a bit devilish, and I am beyond sad there are no more Rumpole books to be had. No one writes quite like Mortimer and there is no barrister quite like Rumpole. If I could, I would give any Rumpole book more than five stars. If you like British writing and humor and the law, you will love Rumpole. A Grab-Bag of Six Stories This is also known as RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY, BOOK 8. Sit back and let John Mortimer entertain you with more Rumpole (of the British legal system) stories. Rumpole travels to a snooty restaurant and goes on a second honeymoon cruise in these 6 short stories. The most unusual story is the one in which Rumpole takes the prosecution side of a case. Interesting reading. Dull and Predictable Stories Despite the fact that I generally enjoy comic British writing, and have on occasion watched the TV version of Rumpole with amusement, I found this collection of short Rumpole stories rather tedious. Having never read any of the extensive Rumpole series, I figured this collection of six stories would be a good place to test the waters. What I found was a series of predictable tales, populated by thin characters that offer little variety in their foibles from story to story. And while you could make the same case for P.G. Wodehouse's creations, the difference is that he had the Midas touch when it came to language and wit, whereas Mortimer's prose is generally uninspired. After a while, the curmudgeonly grumblings of Rumpole get rather old, as does the sharp tongue of his wife (She Who Must Be Obeyed), the pathetic philandering Erskine Brown, and the doddering foolishness of Uncle Tom. While the cut and thrust of the courtroom scenes do impart a sense of vigor and wit to the proceedings, they are the only bright lights in what are otherwise remarkably dull and predictable stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Early-Stories-of-Truman-Capote-Audiobook/B016J3IW88 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Early Stories of Truman Capote Author: Truman Capote, Hilton Als - foreword Narrator: Scott Brick, Nancy Linari, Sarah Scott Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-15 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The early fiction of one of the nation's most celebrated writers, Truman Capote, as he takes his first bold steps into the canon of American literature. Recently rediscovered in the archives of the New York Public Library, these short stories provide an unparalleled look at Truman Capote writing in his teens and early 20s, before he penned such classics as Other Voices, Other Rooms, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and In Cold Blood. This collection of more than a dozen pieces showcases the young Capote developing the unique voice and sensibility that would make him one of the 20th century's most original writers. Spare yet heartfelt, these stories summon our compassion and feeling at every turn. Capote was always drawn to outsiders - women, children, African Americans, the poor - because he felt like one himself from a very early age. Here we see Capote's powers of empathy developing as he depicts his characters struggling at the margins of their known worlds. A boy experiences the violence of adulthood when he pursues an escaped convict into the woods. Petty jealousies lead to a life-altering event for a popular girl at Miss Burke's Academy for Young Ladies. In a time of extraordinary loss, a woman fights to save the life of a child who has her lover's eyes. In these stories, we see early signs of Capote's genius for creating unforgettable characters built of complexity and yearning. Young women experience the joys and pains of new love. Urbane sophisticates are worn down by cynicism. Children and adults alike seek understanding in a treacherous world. There are tales of crime and violence, of racism and injustice, of poverty and despair. And there are tales of generosity and tenderness, compassion and connection, wit and wonder. Above all there is the developing voice of a writer born in the Deep South who will use and eventually break from that tradition to become a literary figure like no other. Critic Reviews: "These 10-plus stories were written when Capote was a teenager and young man and will shed light on his subsequent work while remaining sharply observed pleasures in their own right." (Library Journal) "[A] gathering of the great American prose stylist's earliest pieces, published for the first time.... Students of both Capote and the short story will find this instructive and entertaining."

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Stories From A Young Capote This collection is a fascinating look at a well known writer in the early days. There is an inkling or hinting at the writer Capote would become in this collection--so it is worth it from that perspective alone. A spare, deeply southern voice and style rings through. Some of the stories are subtly scary--foreshadowing future terrifying books Capote came to write--In Cold Blood comes particularly to mind while listening. The narration is good. However, some of the stories seem rough and unfinished and even the best narrator can't fix that. In the end, listening made me appreciate the writer Capote became all the more. Recommended if you are a fan and interested in seeing an artist as a work in progress. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Night-and-the-Music-Audiobook/B00ANTXXT8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Stories are clever if you can get past his voice. As clever an author as Block is, his narration leaves much to be desired. If you can stand his reading, some of the stories are worthwhile. This is a case where I'd recommend reading them instead. Is this Matt Scudder's last episode ?? The book is collection of Matt Scudder's short stories that most deal with the early years of Matt as a detective. They are witty, engaging and fun to read with a melancholic twist for the reader that knows that this may be the last book of one of the most compelling detective series . We shall miss you , Matt Scudder !!! Short Stories - Some Good; Some Not What made the experience of listening to The Night and the Music the most enjoyable? Some new Matt Scudder stories,and some are new. I had read or heard most of the stories but really enjoyed the new ones. The span Matt's career/life from the time he was married to his first wife on. Any additional comments? Why did Larry decided to read this himself? He once said that he wouldn't do it again. New York City Crime If you could sum up The Night and the Music in three words, what would they be? New York. Police. Crime. What other book might you compare The Night and the Music to, and why? All of the Mathew Scudder books and crime fiction. You are taken into an intimate picture of the criminal underworld showing the connection between police and criminals and the effect such a job has. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mean-Streets-Audiobook/B002V0AHTQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(not their best, but not their worst either) Kat Richardson's ghost story was interesting and had a real twist, It was good for a 2 1/2 hour listen. Thomas Sniegoski' is new to me, but I found this work very enjoyable and will be looking into checking out some of his other books. If you enjoy urban fantasy, these anthologies are a good way to find new authors. No not every story will knock your socks off but, being fair I have to say I really enjoyed 80% and I didn't hate the other 20%. Wish I could give this 4 1/2 stars.BTW If you have been listening to Jim Butcher "Dresden Files" and Simon Green "Nightside" on Audible, there is a different narrators, still I think they were done well. Nice way to find new authors and narrators. Anthology The Warrior" Book 10.5 (The Dresden Files) by Jim Butcher - The Difference a Day Makes" Book 9.5 (Nightside) by Simon R. Green - The Third Death of the Little Clay Dog" Bk 3.5 (Greywalker) by Kat Richardson Noah's Orphans" Book 1.5 (Remy Chandler) by Thomas E. Sniegoski - PIG EAR, GOOD WEEPING WOMEN, ALMOST ALWAYS MEAN TROUBLE FOR SOMEBODY I enjoyed three out of four of these, which is a good average. I especially liked Sniegoski's story NOAH'S ORPHANS. Some may not like this story as it shows God as not being perfect. For me the whole concept was cool and the story had a twist or two. IS THIS HELL? NO, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT FROM HERE. Green has a story from IN THE NIGHTSIDE, which is funny, weird and very different. If you have not read any of the books from this series, this is a good way to get your feet wet. Angels use Map Quest? All the narrators are great. Great P. I. Stories with a twist. This was the best anthology I have run across. Each novella was a jewel! I had to put it away briefly while I caught up on the Dresden series and then jumped right in. Fortunately I totally lucked out and caught two of the other authors in the perfect sequence I was in with their series! Simon Green was new to me and I am intrigued by his "Nightside" series and will definitely check out some of his other stuff. I am already a huge Dresden fan so I figured I would like his story the best but Kat Richardson's jaunt to Mexico with Harper Blaine blew me away too. This is the way to do an anthology. Rather than being loaded with many short, mediocre stories it has four great stories by truly talented writers with enough time to develop some great tales. BS good, RG bad...

Members Reviews: Selling practice work This included a couple of scenes with Violet and a few writing exercises the author had done before she was published. While the first vignette with Doc and Violet was cute, nothing else was and the work certainly wasn't worth six dollars. In fact, I have trouble calling it work. It seems like a bunch of practice pieces. And while I might be interested in the practice pieces of J.R.R. Tolkien, the deadwood series has not quite reached the level of the Lord of the Rings yet. This material reminds me of material other authors offer for free on their websites - and on audible. Actually, the free stories other authors offer on audible are far superior to Boot Points - with complete plots and satisfying endings! (See the Chronicles of St Mary's shorts or the Riyria shorts as examples.) While I enjoy the deadwood series, this book of shorts, as well as her other book of shorts, did not give any new information or flesh out the characters any more fully. it is irritating and seems disrespectful to fans that this quality of material was gathered and sold under the auspices of enhancing the deadwood series. So, well I enjoyed the series I am now a bit turned off by the author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/West-of-the-Tularosa-Audiobook/B00MFW7BVM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Stories - First Rate and Old-Fashioned If you're looking for a dose of the Old West's mythology before it got re-written to include second thoughts and anti-heroes, this is a great collection of stories. No, they aren't particularly realistic. The good guys are really good, the bad guys are pure evil, and the guy in the white hat almost always draws faster than the guy in the black hat. In other words, when he wrote these magazine pieces, L'Amour was writing within the confines of a well-established genre, and you'll find nothing here to make you think particularly deep thoughts. However, these stories are just great. Well structured, well written, suspenseful, and full of vivid action and great characters. These stories were written to entertain, and that they still do! Great writing, great stories, true Western flavor. This "novel" is a collection of stories by Louis L'Amour. I had read one or two of his western novels growing up, but never knew about the individual stories. These are all easy reading, "the good guy wins" tales of the Old West, albeit fictional tales. The stories deal with struggles on the plains, hard work, sorrow, facing your fears - the same themes as his novels, but in more compact form. Highly recommend these to Louis L'Amour fans or fans of the Lonesome Dove type tales. Good western for sure. I liked that the book is a compendium of a dozen or so short stories and concludes with West of the Tularosa. Personally I like the Sackett series better because I'm into historical fiction. But this book was quite entertaining. Oater As an early Louis L'Amour you can follow the lead and style that became his trademark in the Sackett sagas. These short stories will keep the fans of pulp fiction entertained. A Well Written Story of the West Typical of Louis L'Amour A story of the west when the country was growing and those that were there had to depend upon themselves a whole lot more than on the government. Well written with a story line that keeps the attention of the reader. A typically good story and one of many by Louis L'Amour. Although there are many of his books out there and available it's sad that he is gone and there won't be more from him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Seeds-of-Deception-Audiobook/B01LWVVHT4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Chief of Police Kate Burkholder grew up Amish â Painterâs Mill was her home town, and she lived with her Datt, Mamm, brother Joseph and sister Sarah where they worked the farm from early morning until late at night. When Katie was fourteen she and Joseph went to the nearby Zimmerman farm to pick apples for Mammâs cooking. With the arrival of Katieâs best friend Mattie, her day immediately looked brighter. But her Mamm and Datt didnât approve of her friendship with Mattie â she was a bad influence, a âwild childâ according to them. The arrival in the orchard of the English boy Billy Marquardt made Katie uneasy, but Mattie was up for some fun. When they headed to the barn, Katie refused to follow â but she was worried for her friend. The ensuing fire which engulfed the barn had the police investigating Mattie, Billy and Katie â what would they find? Katie was sure her friend was innocent and she was determined to find the truth. But was there trouble ahead? Seeds of Deception is a short story by Linda Castillo which is part of the Kate Burkholder series. Itâs an enjoyable little glimpse at part of the tough police chiefâs childhood, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love this authorâs work, and had no hesitation in purchasing it. Highly recommended. Short Story View of Kate's Teenage Life "Zimmerman's Orchard was the last place fourteen-year-old Katie Burkholder wanted to be, especially with her older brother, Jacob." FINAL DECISION: An intriguing little story that gives more background and depth to Kate and her family and friends, this short story gives readers a glimpse into Kate's life as a young teenager. THE STORY: Fourteen year old Amish Kate Burkholder is avoiding her chores with her best friend Mattie. When a barn burns, Kate is torn between the evidence and believing her best friend's version of events. OPINION: This short story taking place in Kate's teenage years gives some interesting insights into Kate and her relationships with her Amish friends and family. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Stepbrother-Alpha-Billionaire-Audiobook/B018UJKFGG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good book I love that she never gave up on her feelings even after their parents got married. No one should have to tell you who you can or can't love. Stephanie Brother has done it again. Ok This is one of the steamier stories from this author, as of late. The storyline is a bit contrived, but still relatable. The H and the h are both a bit immature and seem spoiled, but end up with their HEA. When you finally do get to the love scene it's worth the wait because it's H-O-T. Recommended. ... Felix wait until the wedding to tell Cass he like her. Why did Felix wait until the wedding to tell Cass he like her .. I wonder if he knew she liked him.. this book was taking me on a spin I didn't know what was going to happen. Eh I'm a fan of erotic, but not this one. The characters simply weren't believable in the least. Book good Book was good I just hate that they are so short,just as I am getting into it , it's over. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Table-7-Audiobook/B0170BOB5G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The man who liked Dickens Very interesting story and very well read by Leonard Nimoy.. Long enough to tell an involved plot, but brief enough to keep your interest all the way through to the end.. I enjoyed it very much. A Haunting Tale I really like this story and the way that Leonard Nimoy narrated it. Set in the wilds of South America during colonial times, it hauntingly captures the loneliness and isolation which western settlers must have felt. Very spooky too, with a surprise ending. Excellent Audio Work Where does Selected Shorts: The Man Who Liked Dickens rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It is better than most. Good plot, Good narration. Who was your favorite character and why? Mr. McMaster is a very clever gentleman. He manipulates things to get Dickens read. Which scene was your favorite? The ending, but I don't want to give it away. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. The end was a little bit predictable, but it was well written. Any additional comments? Leonard Nimoy is an excellent narrator and does an excellent job in reading a story like he did all his professional work. RIP Mr. Nimoy, edgy and well told an excellent narration of a striking story about life beyond civilisation. as ever Waugh's humour is cut with a bittersweet edge. a handful of dust by the same author would be a good read to follow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Anno-Dracula-1899-Audiobook/B01N0SYDAE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "A marvellous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic horror and alternative history. Not to be missed." (The Independent) Members Reviews: Some gems here I actually requested this book for review by mistake, peeps. I've wanted to read Anno Dracula for a long time and thought this was the actual novel and not the collection of stories. Oh, well. I did enjoy some of the stories, and I did get a feel for Kim Newman's writing which is very much a mix between Justin Cronin and Joe Hill. So, the stories. FAMOUS MONSTERS A bit of a drab reminiscence of a Martian's acting career. Not an auspicious start. A DRUG ON THE MARKET I got a kick out of this one, peeps. Someone revises Jekyll & Hyde's formula for the mass market with all the fun in the marketing and after effects. ILLIMITABLE DOMINION & JUST LIKE EDDY While I listened to both of these twice, I could not concentrate on the narrative it was so boring. Verdict: skip. AMERIKANSKI DEATH AT THE MOSCOW MORGUE Super creepy, trippy & entertaining. A fascinating concept of a world after the zombie apocalypse in the end of the 80s - beginning of the 90s in Moscow. I got another kick out of this one. THE CHILL CLUTCH OF THE UNSEEN 30 Days of Night but the old guy in the chair is conversing with the monster instead. Boring. ONE HIT WANDA As in "one hit wonder", it's a fun story about a band with a cursed hit song which they can't stop singing. IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?. Another fabulous concept of a medium from 1920s trolled by a modern hacker, whom she entraps like a common spirit. Really entertaining. THE INTERVENTION This one left me confused. Either I missed something or wasn't clever enough to understand it. RED JACKS WILD One of my favorites, it's about a real Jack the Ripper hunting down his copycats. It was so good, I'd have loved to read a full novel about it. SARAH MINDS THE DOG It starts light and cute and quickly twists into something so much darker. It made me quite uncomfortable. THE SNOW SCULPTURES OF XANADU & THE PALE SPIRIT PEOPLE Not memorable at all. My mind kept wandering, and I could not understand the stories, especially the first one. UBERMENSCH! Awesome read. This was about a German Superman who worked with Nazis and is being interviewed years after by a monster hunter after the Wall collapsed. So freaking good. COASTAL CITY Meh. Not worth the read. COMPLETIST HEAVEN Another meh. It was really tiring to listen to this one, and I'm sure the narrator didn't enjoy the mad recitation as well. UNE ETRANGE AVENTURE DE RICHARD BLAINE Another good story involving Nazis hunting monsters in Paris. Very atmospheric. FRANKENSTEIN ON ICE I loved the concept! It would have made a fab movie, and it reminded me of Justin Cronin the most. YOKAI TOWN: ANNO DRACULA 1899 Now, this was a good introduction to the actual novel, which I now want to read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Quiver-Full-of-Arrows-Audiobook/B002V0KEDK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Larry King) Members Reviews: I am very disappointed with this one because I couldsee that his inveestigation ... I've read almost all of Jeffrey Archer Books. I am very disappointed with this one because I could see that his investigation is poor on some subjects. For example Spanish. We would never say in Spanish. "viva la Colombia". It is written twice in this book. Also on geography. Colombia is a tropical country but the city of Bogotá is located at 7.800 ft. altitude so it is not hot nor humid as its stated on this book. Maybe many other of his books which we thought were thoroughly investigated, were not. What a shame, because he writes very well. Good but not great Interesting stories and storytelling. But a bit flat compared to Somerset Maugham or Fredrick Fosyth. I would rate No Comebacks a lot higher. First rate story teller Archer has written a cracker set of short stories here. Hold my attention from beginning to end, and the stories are varied and interesting. Character development is well done and I come away from reading each story highly satisfied. I like his writing and would buy his other titles ... convalescing after a stroke--------her daughter in law said she LOVED it and is now reading Kane and Abel Brother sent to 90+ friend convalescing after a stroke--------her daughter in law said she LOVED it and is now reading Kane and Abel. A great anthology What can be said of Jeffery Archer's short stories that has not already been said? The man is a genius and his short stories are, to my mind, even better than the novels. Here we have stories with real characters, great story lines and magnificent twists and turns, as a good short story should be. To say more about the stories would give away the excitement the reader will experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Graveyard-Plots-Audiobook/B007TLSYHY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Also includes bonus short story "Krampusnacht"! Members Reviews: An Enjoyable (short) Listen! This one is for fans of Nicholas Olivos Caulborn series. As much as I enjoy recommending his series to everyone, I would actually hold off on starting the series with this audiobook as newcomers would miss out on a lot of the backstory that makes it interesting to regular readers. It consists of two separate, short stories - the first one giving us a look into protagonist Vinnies first encounter with an on-going bad guy who plagues him for most of the series, as well as giving a bit more insight into the nature of how of Time is governed. Since Vinnies Demi-god powers relate to time, this is an important tidbit. The second, and my favorite, is from the point of view of Gear Stripper, Vinnies mechanically oriented gremlin sidekick. It was interesting getting a look into how the little guy perceives the world. However, for me, what truly stood out was Ian McEuens voice for Gear Strippers character. It is spot-on to what a Gremlin should sound like, even though Ive never actually encountered a Gremlin! Once again, I would recommend this author and narrator to anyone who is fond of the Iron Druid series narrated by Luke Daniels. Ian McEuen is every bit as talented, and Nicholas Olivos series offers a fleshing approach to the Urban Fantasy genre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Wavedancer-Benefit-Audiobook/B002V0QUO2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "This memorable audiobook...has immense historical, humanitarian, and humor value and should delight fans." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: The Wavedancer Benefit After hearing the amazing reading Frank Muller gave on "The Talisman" I looked for more of his work and found this benefit recording. Besides being a wonderful acknowledgement from the very authors whose books are narrated by Frank, it was great fun to hear some of the authors' voices for the first time (for me) reading their own works. Stephen King's rendition of "Lardass Hogan's Revenge" is hilarious, Peter Straub reading from "Black House" made me feel as if I was back in the book immediately, John Grishom's wonderful southern accent really flavored his reading of his most recent book, and just listening to Pat Conroy's commentary on himself, his brother-in-law, and his beginnings as an author made me crack up at moments and gave me goosebumps at others. I would highly recommend this recording to anyone, it's uplifting to hear these authors, as well as the whole audience, come together to honor Frank Muller and his awesome achievements of work. This is a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity... ...to listen to some of our greatest bestselling authors donate their time, talents and well-wishes to a wonderful cause. Although this is not an actual "book," but rather a recording of the speakers at a dinner benefit for the Wavedancer Foundation; I am sure that you will find this audio choice extremely entertaining and heartfelt. This was one hour and thirty six minutes well spent. Good times, good cause This is a delight. John Grisham, Peter Straub, and Stephen King read from their works. Pat Conroy tells the story of his writerly beginnings. There is also a lovely speech by Erica Muller, Frank's wife, and an uncredited performance by one of their children... Don't miss this. (But don't listen over dinner!) Frank Muller... What could I possibly say about Frank Muller that has not already been said? This man's narrations of books has left me spellbound, taken me places I had no idea existed, made me laugh and made me cry. From Moby Dick to Stephen King, Frank Muller brought these books to life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Little-Match-Girl-from-the-Naxos-Audiobook-A-Family-Christmas-Audiobook/B002VA9U8A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I've read all of the Cooper stories (1 - 230) and several of Mr. Bernico's short stories and most have not disappointed me. You'll find some poorly written or predictable stories, but for the most part they are fair to good. The Cooper series are better, but there's a few stinkers, too. They're great for a coffee break or a few minutes to relax. cooper collection i have enjoyed reading 132 of bill bernico's cooper collection, looking forward to more of his detective stories, easy to read and will keep your attention https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Darkest-Prison-Audiobook/B002V5B3R6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE LORDS SERIES If you've listened to the other Lords Of The Underworld books then you will know what you are getting - a love story with a twist. This one is about two gods - Atlas and Nike who start off hating each other then there's struggles and a happy ending. What more do you want from a 1hr 51 minute book!! Good Book This is a good direction in the series of the Lords of the Underworld. I am really looking forward to the next book and what part these two people play in it. There is also a glimpse into another book, I am looking forward to it also. I need more! Need more of this couple! This story is to short but soooo good! I hope the other books are such as good! Wonderful story!! I loved how Nike & Atlas were enemies, who became so much more!! They found their other half in each other. This was a great story!! With lots of emotion and ups & downs to get to the happy ever after. Max Bellmore did a wonderful job!! I enjoyed it very much!! I highly recommend it!! It is a great deal at $2.06. You won't want to miss it! Love this series! Have listened multiple times. Because of this series, Gena Showalter is a must read for me. Damaged alpha males, romantic story lines, humor and lots of action. I am a happy listener. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Pigeon-Blood-A-Classic-Hard-Boiled-Tale-from-the-Original-Black-Mask-Audiobook/B002V5J5BW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A classic tale in the style of the greats, Chandler and Hammett. While reading it you can almost see the black and white movie version in your mind. Better than pulp fiction but the author never sufferred the aclaim of the greats. Too bad, this is a top notch addition to the genre. Read it, listen to it, enjoy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Third-Cry-to-Legba-and-Other-Invocations-Audiobook/B00F2ORJB2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Third Cry to Legba and Other Invocations Subtitle: Selected Stories of Manly Wade Wellman, Volume 1 Author: Manly Wade Wellman Narrator: Brian Troxell Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This audiobook collects Wellmans John Thunstone and Lee Corbet stories, written between 1943 and 1979. These stories combine the mystical and horrific with traditional Southern folk tales and legends. These stories also reveal a post-World War II modernism that make them much more then pulp romanticism. The paranoia and cynicism of modern weird icons, such as The X-files, may well have had their genesis in the pulp musings of Manly Wade Wellman. Indeed the intensely driven, idealistic occult investigator, John Thunstone, could be a pulp/noir stand-in for Fox Mulder. Editorial Reviews: This collection of Manly Wade Wellmans intriguing, mystifying, and eerie stories featuring John Thunstone and Lee Cobbet is guaranteed to inspire paranoia and thrills. Brian Troxell gives voice to the disturbing, sometimes alarming, and always entertaining adventures of these investigators of the supernatural from a master of mystically romantic pulp horror. Stories featuring playboy detective of the supernatural, Thunstone, and fellow occult expert Cobbet include, besides the title story famous for introducing Thunstone and arch-enemy, sorcerer Rowley Thorne, "The Golden Goblins", "Hoofs", "The Letters of Cold Fire", "John Thunstone's Inheritance", "Sorcery from Thule", "The Dead Man's Hand", and "The Shonokins". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Manly Wade Wellman) Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:13:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Third-Cry-to-Legba-and-Other-Invocations-Audiobook/B00F2ORJB2 thebookvoice.com 14:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: LOVED this collection What made the experience of listening to The Third Cry to Legba and Other Invocations the most enjoyable? I loved the John Thunstone character and couldn't get enough. Initially a bit disappointed with the other main characters but they grow on you almost as fast. Any additional comments? I found Manly Wade Wellman due to a mention and acknowledgement of him in the preface of a Hellboy story in a Hellboy graphic novel by Mike Mignola. I can definitely see the inspiration Mignola drew from these stories and if you are a fan of his, you'll likely love Wellman as well. Thunstone and Cobbett If you could sum up The Third Cry to Legba and Other Invocations in three words, what would they be? paranormal pulp fiction What did you like best about this story? There are several high points, but what i like like best is the author's confidence in good's triumph over evil. What does Brian Troxell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The opportunity to absorb this great volume while I drive to work. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The culmination of twice cursed, and the death of Jackson... Any additional comments? download every book in this masterful series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Press-Start-to-Play-Audiobook/B015NL3GMO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A couple are decent, but most either tease you with a cool idea but fail on execution, or are just outright uninteresting or too awkward. Disappointment from Big Names Some great stories, a few (Boyle, Wexler, Mastrantone), but not from Howey, Weir, Wilson or Pratchett. Hard to Rate Some of the stories were outstanding, but many were boring or had weak endings. I had to skip a few stories because the topics were so lame. A Satisfying Sampling of Gaming-Inspired Fiction It was a great selection of stories running the gamut of game-inspired sci-fi AND fantasy. Waste of money! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? No one. This book was a total bust from beginning to end. Most of the stories are preachy and pretentious. Some started off decent but went to hell fast. Others started off so bad, it was painful to listen to. I was on a road trip so I thought that a collection of short stories was a good idea... boy was I wrong. This was the first bad book I've downloaded on audible but man, this was a stinker. Would you ever listen to anything by Daniel H. Wilson - editor and John Joseph Adams - editor again? no Which scene was your favorite? The one about the video game where the person is in the desert. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not a single one... this really was a complete waste of time and money. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: ©©Good book¿¿ Awesome book to listen ©Œü h h h h h hsodf fghfgh sz df Not my cup of tea I appreciate what these writers are trying to do which is write about things that people don't want to talk about and I know they are trying to open people's eyes to certain subjects but some of theses stories are boaring and repetitive. Sorry not for me. mixed bag, worth a listen The final story is excellent. Fresh story on playground parent discomfort and their awkward relationships. wouldn't listen again well narrated books. the books however were not really my cup of tea. expected some sort of gripping finish but I didn't get any. Enjoyable Interesting short stories from young authors, each with their own perspective of life.

Members Reviews: Classic classics I am a very big fan of short stories and have listened to the Selected Shorts program for over 20 years. Any collection can be hit or miss, but this selection of american classics are all big hits. I liked every story and every reader. The stories range from funny to outrageous and touching to creepy. What more could one ask for? Classics, indeed. Where does Selected Shorts: American Classics rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of the best Audible selections of the dozens in my library. What other book might you compare Selected Shorts: American Classics to and why? A unique experience. Inspired pairing of readers and texts. What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Rene Auberjonois' masterful, remarkable delivery of an Edgar Allen Poe story is worth the purchase price on its own. In his hands, the minute joys of Poe's writing are presented to their best advantage. Stockard Channing's similarly spellbinding performance in a Eudora Welty selection will make you want to read everything (or re-read) Welty ever wrote--her mastery of Welty's prose is astounding. Any additional comments? I can't recommend this highly enough. Spectacular Would you listen to Selected Shorts: American Classics again? Why? Yes, I'm pretty sure I'll return to it more than once. Who was your favorite character and why? This is worth buying for Stockard Channing's reading of 'Why I live at the PO' and Joyce Carol Oates' disturbing 'Where are you going, where have you been' read so well by Christine Baranksi. I loved Jerry Stiller's reading of At the Anarchist's Convention too. But really, the whole collection is outstanding and every reader is brilliant. Which scene was your favorite? I kept laughing out loud on the bus listening to 'Why I live at the PO', and ended up in a foetal position listening to 'Where are you going ...' Brilliant reading of Welty's Why I Live at the PO Would you listen to Selected Shorts: American Classics again? Why? I could listen to Stockard Channing's performance of Why I Live at the PO over and over again. It is wonderful. I enjoyed the other stories as well. Such a fun and entertaining listen! All of the stories were done with a live audience so the listening experience puts you in their presence too. All the readers/actors were fantastic. Stories were classics in every way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Target-Practice-Audiobook/B00BC45RDI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Delightful Vignettes These stories give insight into Mr. Stout's genius, and the method of story-telling in these efforts can be seen refined and shaped into the cohesive universe of the later Nero Wolfe books. Each story presents a character with a quandary, and characters approach their quandaries with emotional depth. Mr. Stout's political interest in World Federalism, which occasionally surfaces in his mysteries, is starkly outlined in the first of these stories. Although a proto Wolfe/Archie relationship can be found, one can be very grateful that Mr. Stout continued to refine from this first effort. I can hardly imagine an Archie who says to Wolfe, "You're a terrible lawyer, Sir.", although one can see the beginning of the impudence necessary to Archie's character. These stories, on their own merits, are interesting, engaging, and often quite funny. To someone who enjoys the larger canon of Rex Stout's work, this is a valuable tour to the way he thinks. To everyone else, these stories are simply quite good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/69-Audiobook/B00L1IL1C6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good read Not too long ago I started reading Blake Crouch. I have read about 5 of his books. So far I have not been disappointed. I started with a couple of his novels, then I tried one of his short stories. I am really enjoying them, as I work full time and don't always have a lot of time to listen and/ or read books. I must admit the short story *69 was one of my favorites. The narrator was really good. And anyone who listenes to books knows a bad narrator can totally ruin a great book. I will continue to be a Blake Crouch reader and fan. Fabulous Quick Thriller What made the experience of listening to *69 the most enjoyable? I'm generally over critical but I keep coming back to BC for stories like this one. OK it started out cheesy but in an enjoyable way. Then, I was "in" in the story immediately and the momentum was realistic and then it all gets thrilling. And then its over. That's my only problem with this book - it ended too soon. Would have loved more. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? YES. I though he was going to let her get away in a totally unrealistic way which I was already groaning about...and THEN HE DIDN'T. Which scene was your favorite? The whole story is engaging and twists around you. I was really enjoying it and walked an extra 3kms because I didn't want to go home and unplug from the story! If you could rename *69, what would you call it? Names are hard, I think *69 is perfect. Although its true, the name didn't grab me, I only purchased it based on BC's history and the reviews. Any additional comments? I find these mini books so annoying because they are tantalizingly short. But this one is well worth the credit. Great Short Story "*69* Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, it was a great premise. Written very well. Not much else to say without giving story away. Would you be willing to try another book from Blake Crouch? Why or why not? Yes I buy almost all Blake Crouch's books. Even if the idea seems familiar, there's always a great twist . What about Luke Danielss performance did you like? I really like Like Daniels as a narrator. He has a way of reading different characters to make them distinctive. If this book were a movie would you go see it? I'd love to see it. But not dragging out to 90 minutes. Something like the old "Tales from the Crypt ". A quick read While i thought this story was a little bit predictable the ending was a very big surprise to me. If you like blake crouch or are looking for a quick read, this is definitely a good one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/For-a-Little-While-Audiobook/B06W5XN3ST Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: For a Little While Author: Rick Bass Narrator: Rick Bass Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Long considered one of the most gifted practitioners of the short story, Rick Bass is unsurpassed in his ability to perceive and portray the enduring truths of the human heart. Now, at last, we have the definitive collection of stories, new and old, from the writer Newsweek has called "an American classic". To listen to his fiction is to feel more alive - connected, incandescently, to "the brief longshot of having been chosen for the human experience," as one of his characters puts it. These stories reveal men and women living with passion and tenderness at the outer limits of the senses, each attempting to triumph against fate. Bass provides searing insights into the complexity of family and romantic entanglements, and his lush and striking language draws us ineluctably into the lives of these engaging people and their vivid surroundings. The intricate stories collected in For a Little While - brimming with magic and wonder, filled with hard-won empathy, marbled throughout with astonishing imagery - have the power both to devastate and to uplift. Together they showcase an iconic American master at his peak. Critic Reviews: "A literary titan...Bass is, hands down, a master of the short form, creating in a few pages a natural world of mythic proportions." (The New York Times Book Review) "While nature figures heavily in Bass' work, in this collection it always yields the foreground to people and their difficult, sometimes devastating lives." (San Francisco Chronicle) "This is a rich collection of stories by a major American writer esteemed for his originality as well as for his fine prose. One of the trademarks of the Rick Bass story is the fresh perception of places and people in their relationships to each other. Never facile, Bass is able to make us see and feel in unexpected ways and his stories call out to readers to stop and consider, to explore their feelings about what has risen up from the pages."

(Annie Proulx) Members Reviews: Captures Contemporary Western/Rural America I can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed Mr. Bass's fiction and prose. I relate to the writing as an outdoorsman as he captures the moments and contemplations that can only be drawn from a life afield. I also appreciate the grassroots approach of the recording. It is read by the author both solo and accompanied by what (I'm speculating) is a score composed by musicians who have endeavored to capture the emotional underpinnings of these diverse tales. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Princess-Stories-Audiobook/B002UZZ8SC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My 3 year daughter, like most girls her age, is in love with princesses. I after reading her a story or two I like to play this collection when she is falling asleep. The two best stories in the collection are the Princess and the Pea and Sleeping Beauty. There are also a number of stories from around the world, although they are not as good for a young girl. Personally, not every story in the collection is a winner. However, in general I love the Barefoot Books and have several others on audio and hardcover for both my son and daughter and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to share stories with their child. What was one of the most memorable moments of Princess Stories? The Princess and the Pea as well as Sleeping Beauty are my favorites. They are the first and last stories in the collection. Would you be willing to try another one of Margaret Wolfsons performances? Not really. The production values and the narration are a little ify on the recording. There are certainly readers which make a story or collection sparkle, Wolfson was just so-so. Any additional comments? There is music between each story and its somewhat bothersome that the music seems to be recorded at a louder level then the actual stories. The sound levels and production are not the greatest on this audio book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Heroin-Chronicles-Audiobook/B00J48254S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Now I have a greater understanding and sympathy for those caught in the terrible web of addiction. Some good some just ok Some stories were better than others. First 2 were good.

Members Reviews: Good Stories Thicker Than Blood is a collection of three short stories of the macabre and the fantastical. In the titular short story, Thicker Than Blood, twin sisters in the midst of a terrible tragedy are swept away to another world. But can they both stay? In Where Is Katie? a little girl may not be all that she seems. Galloway Lake is haunted, but ghosts don't always know when they're dead. Each of these stories is captivating and chilling in their own way. My favorite was Galloway Lake. And as a bonus, you get to read the first chapter of The Chronicles Of Koa: Netherworld. A book I have read and enjoyed. So, if you're looking for a quick trip into the world of ghosts and demons that will leave you chilled, you should give this one a try. Great collection! I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Each story paints a vivid picture and leaves you wondering at the end - what happens to the characters next? It's tantalizing in just the right way that makes a story great. two interesting short stories As I started reading the book, I was looking for something that tied into the title of the book. I had to be patient and keep reading. I won't give it away, but I will say this, both stories will make you think and may scare the heck out of a pre-teen girl. The stories reminded me of a Scooby-Doo story. Not in a funny way, but if you remember some of the Scooby-Doo ghost stories, then you know what I'm talking about. I enjoyed both books, as well as the lead in to the The Chronicles of Koa. A nice short read. Exciting and enticing This book of stories was so wonderful to read. K.N. Lee has once again created something wonderful. From the first short story to the third. It's short but of course because they are short stories. The leave you wondering what happened to these people, an the information you do find out leaves you wanting more. I would recommend this book to anyone! Darkly Entertaining! Very impressed with this collection of short stories, I read them all at once. K.N.Lee has written three original tales that will give you chills! My heart is racing from all the dark surprises. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-Session-Dr-Morgan-Snow-with-Steve-Berrys-Cotton-Malone-Lee-Childs-Jack-Reacher-Barry-Eislers-John-Rain-Audiobook/B005W2KDEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: In Session: Dr. Morgan Snow with Steve Berry's Cotton Malone, Lee Child's Jack Reacher & Barry Eisler's John Rain Author: M. J. Rose Narrator: Phil Gigante, Natalie Ross, Barry Eisler, Dick Hill, Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 10-15-11 Publisher: MJ Rose c/o Writers House Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 237 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In Session, from international best seller M.J. Rose, features the return of Dr. Morgan Snow, in a brand-new story collection! As a therapist specializing in sexual issues, psychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow isn't easily shocked or shaken, as readers and listeners of the popular "Butterfield Institute" novels know. There are times, however, when the need for her services leads her out of the office... and into unfamiliar worlds. In these stories, the therapist matches her wits - and her training - against three men of mystery: Jack Reacher, John Rain, and Cotton Malone. These characters are, of course, familiar to listeners as the creations, respectively, of New York Times best-selling authors Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and Steve Berry. All three swore that their characters would never agree to therapy - unless Rose found a way to get them there. And she did. In "Extenuating Circumstances" with Steve Berry's Cotton Malone, a woman seeks help for her lover, and sends Dr. Snow overseas on a most unusual house call. In "Decisions, Decisions", Barry Eisler's John Rain forces Dr. Snow out of her own comfort zone, and into the world of a former patient's worst nightmare. And in "Knowing You're Alive", with Lee Child's Jack Reacher, there are revelations for both the injured Dr. Snow and her unexpected savior/patient. Note that this book uses the actual narrators from each character's respective series (Phil Gigante/Natalie Ross: Dr. Morgan Snow; Scott Brick: Cotton Malone; Barry Eisler: John Rain; Dick Hill Jack Reacher). All the proceeds of the audiobook and a share of the proceeds of the ebook will be donated to David Baldacci's Wish You Well Foundation, supporting family literacy.

This is a collection of favourite and well known fairy stories, with a bit of a twist. Fisher pokes fun at the legal jargon with these outright hilarous versions of Goldilocks, Cinderella and the Three Little Pigs. Each story is fairly short, so it makes a good listen for people on the go. I highly recommend this as light entertainment. Have fun. It is said that one of the things that distinguishes man from other animals is his ability to laugh at himself. And if we don't, who will? The not-so-Grimm Grimm's I personally found this audiobook rather enjoyable. I've listened to it on multiple occasions, often getting a chuckle or two out of it despite knowing what was to come. The over-all play on language makes the story a great little present for some lawyers. I'd definately give it a shot if you want a good little story to pass the time with some good spirits. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Hammer-of-God-Audiobook/B00G4C653E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Chesterton Narrator: David Timson Format: Unabridged Length: 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the The Innocence of Father Brown - Volume 2 collection. Here are the six final stories from The Innocence of Father Brown relating the crime-solving adventures of a rather unconventional detective. Having accumulated wisdom and empathy from years of listening to the dark confessions of his parishioners, in a flash Father Brown is able to solve mysteries that confound all others. Here is an eccentric and loveable character that will appeal to fans of the legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes. The stories are engagingly read by David Timson: "The Wrong Shape", "The Sins of Prince Saradine", "The Hammer of God", "The Eye of Apollo", "The Sign of the Broken Sword", and "The Three Tools of Death". Editorial Reviews: A reverend warns his brother, a lustful colonel, that God will strike him in the street if he does not reform. Within the hour, the military man is dead. The Almighty is quickly ruled out as the one who struck a small hammer through his skull, and it turns to G. K. Chestertons quirky cleric and masterful detective, Father Brown, to unravel the passions behind the crime. A veteran of more than 1,000 BBC Radio Drama broadcasts, David Timson is a delight - providing the perfect mix of cheek and concern to all the characters - in his performance of Chestertons tales which are not so much expositions of mysteries as they are entertaining inquiries into human nature. biacuaduc@gmail.com (G.

Members Reviews: The Innocense of Father Brown Vo. 2 (complete classics) Father Brown brings a Christian voice to his stories but in a quiet manner that is not in your face. These stories have such a twist and turn that they keep you dangling until the end. It always appears that the bad guy didn't do it until the end and sometimes he didn't do it. It is my type of mystery -keeps you on your toes, without much blood and gore! This last set of CDs, we purchased for our 95 year old priest who loves reading but has problems with his eyes. He is loving them. I give them 4 stars. Wonderful stories Love the Fr. Brown stories! The reader is great and really makes the story come alive! Definitely recommend this recording to others! Excellent - The Hammer of God This, "The Hammer of God", is a short story in audio format. It s an excellent narration of what is, to this point, my favorite "Father Brown" mystery. The short story is written by G. K. Chesterton. The protagonist is Father Brown who was inspired by a friend of G. K. Chesterton. To my knowledge, there are approx. 53 Father Brown stories. This is possibly favorite one. I cannot really tell you why without risking spoiling the story.

Members Reviews: Dawn Cano is one to watch.... A simple tale of horrific revenge....Dawn utilizes as many details as she can to get her point across, leaving her audience cringing and spent. Narrator Chris Barnes does his job well, although it is difficult to discern some words, due to his English accent. Still, I would peruse more from this duo.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Kidnapped-Prime-Minister-Audiobook/B009P60EOW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Where does The Kidnapped Prime Minister rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The moment this story started playing, I immediately recognized the voice of David Suchet, not Hugh Fraser. I am not fond of David Suchet as an audiobook reader. Though I love him as Hercule Poirot, in my opinion Hugh Fraser far outshines him as a reader. Audible, please correct this error! What do you think the narrator could have done better? He could have been Hugh Fraser. Short but sweet Excellent adventure full with a lot of twist and turns.

Members Reviews: Builds vacbulary and appreciation for literature The most outstanding thing about this CD is the language in which these stories are told. This is serious literature for children, and it is told in a traditional, rather archaic fashion. I think young listeners might find it difficult to follow and will need a grown up help to guide them along some of the outdated phrases and vocabulary. That, in my opinion, is NOT a bad thing. Who says children can't be entertained and learn something at the same time? They can and they enjoy it. My children are 6 and 8 and upon 1st hearing the stories I myself thought perhaps I was aiming too high for them, but they liked it and insisted upon listening over and over again. Some stories are more quick paced and there is not much need for explaining such as "7 in a blow" which was an instant hit with my children, and some are more complex and takes a few listening and some explaining before they could fully understand and enjoy it. I particularly enjoyed Bernard Cribbin Narration - pleasant voice and perfect diction. very well done. Great for kids! Kids 4 and 8 loved this for a long car ride. Nicely narrated. Easy to listen to. Not near enough music, sound effects, or anything aurally interesting. I was drawn in by the promise of classical music used along with these stories. I thought it would be integrated along with the stories. I planned to use them for my elementary music classes. Yes, there is some music, but it's usually only at the beginnings of the stories. The stories are just dry readings of the tales, and lost my interest about 2 minutes in. Unusable for my classes. Great for kids who enjoy stories My 18-month-old just loves the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, so I purchased this thinking that I could expose her to some more stories (which I've forgotten from my youth). She did truly love Goldilocks, and was so-so on the Three Little Pigs, but the others are a little mature for her. I know she'll grow to love them, though! The way the music is present in the tales, but truly not prevalent, is great in breaking up the monotony of the story. Also, the voices are terrific. Definitely fun for a growing toddler (and not so bad for mom, either). Waste of money. What a waste of money. Got this for my 3-yr-old, but the language is far too advanced AND the reader has a thick british accent. Thought it would be good stories for her to relax to, but it lasted about 2 minutes before she gave up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Phobia-Audiobook/B01FWQ0F38 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Early days Smith Like reading the condensed version of books without the background filler. We're theses the extra outlines for the series. Nicely done and still a satisfying ready and resolution. Interesting lead character! I started reading this series here, a good place to meet Smith. He quickly catches you with his quirky personality. He is surrounded by equally well-developed and individualized supporting cast members. The author puts all of these into fascinating plots in five shorter stories. I will read more of these stories! great read! Excellent group of 5 short mysteries, featuring DC/DS Smith. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this author's works. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Arrangement-18-Audiobook/B0195ELQLS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I stumbled upon Breece Pancake while perusing a copy of Vice magazine. Noted the name and went on about my business. Then one day, that iconic fox head jumped out at me while meandering the fiction isles at Strand. I bought it and read it cover to cover. My jaw nearly locked in the open position. Breece Pancake just soared to the top of my favorites list. His command of the language to engage the reader in his setting is unlike anyone's I've ever read. You feel the dirt on the back of your neck and the humidity in your throat as you read his stories. If you're not from the southern working class, you'll feel a de facto attachment to the people and lifestyle after read his works. Terse sentences brim with weight the likes of which I've only seen achieved in the works Cormac McCarthy or Faulkner. If you're a fan of these gentleman, Pancake will find great company with you. Dark, dark stories are a glimpse into this troubled soul. Like many of the greatest writers we've ever known, life was too much to keep living. This small but brilliant collection is all we have from this brilliant young writer. Five Stars Excellent book delivered 4 days ahead of the scheduled window of arrival. Ex-library just as described. Thx! Simple mastery There are tributes from three successful writers of literary fiction included in this collection, probably because it is always a paradox when a truly gifted soul takes his own life at such a young age. He is a writer's writer. Each story deserves to be read more than once. Unrecognized and unfulfilled genius. This is the most compelling fiction I have read in some time: perhaps not since Faulkner has an author captured the essence of a region while revealing the character of the human beings that populate the area. I was both moved by his passion and captured by the despair of his emotion. The sparsity of his prose only serves to enhance the beauty of his story-telling. What a tragedy his death was for literature. Buy This Now On more than one occasion while reading this book I said to myself, "Man, this guy was good." Pancake's narratives are tightly woven, sucking you into the world he is describing. He has that knack for writing stories with a degree of detail and a pace that invites the reader to fill in the spaces that aren't being described effortlessly. I am from West Virginia so many of these stories resonated strongly with me, but you don't have to be from the region to enjoy this book. I highly recommend it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Jack-Daniels-Stories-Audiobook/B004Y6SPEO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love the J.D. series If you enjoy gross but funny cop stories, listening to J.A. Konrath books read by Hill and Dawe are a must. I wonder where Konrath comes up with some of the gross detail and yet he can be so very witty. You will cringe and laugh at these short stories. It is a nice touch to have personal notes by Konrath attached to each story. Fantastic Love the gritty, dirty nature of these stories with the humanization of the characters. It's lovable and believable. Home run! Love Jack Daniels stories Love the humor in these stories. The narration makes them work at times, and the banter between Jack and Herb is well worth the listen. I've listened to or read all the Jack Daniels mysteries and if you like them, you won't want to miss this collection. These give us a better understanding of the character Phin, as there are several of his stories included. A amusing group of stories Some are funny, disturbing, interesting, thrilling, etc. or a combination of those. I enjoyed it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lost-and-Found-Audiobook/B002V1LCFI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The spiritual and emotional beauty of his elegant prose and magical poetry was beautifully captured in his stunningly beautiful short stories. Many of us have read the translations. Listening to them in Bengali, however brings out a beauty that is perhaps... lost in translation. This two-volume collection has some of Gurudev's great short stories. We, at booksTALK, hope this will be only the first step in bringing out many such works in Indian languages. To make it possible to reconnect to our roots - of language, literature and storytelling. The stories in this volume are: "Kabuliwallah", "Ramkanai-er Nirbuddhita", "Postmaster", "Streer Potro", "Jibito O Mrito", "Namonjur Golpo", and "Thakurda- Khokababur Protyaborton".

Poet, author, artist, playwright, musician, philosopher, Nobel laureate, and above all, an Indian. He created so much of what it means to be an Indian today: our national anthem, Santiniketan, Rabindra Sangeet, stories of several Satyajit Ray films. The spiritual and emotional beauty of his elegant prose and magical poetry was beautifully captured in his stunningly beautiful short stories. Many of us have read the translations.

Members Reviews: 12 Great Stories...and 6 Back Stories The thing about readingor listening toWodehouse is that his characters live such long, complex lives. Bertie Wooster, for example, made his first appearance in 1919 and his last adventure was published in 1974, the year before Wodehouses death. Consequently, the happily married man in the novel you just finished reading may have a backstory you know nothing about. Beyond, of course, the arch allusions to his checkered career made by his wife, his relations or the narrator in the novel you just finished reading. It all adds to the odd realism of Wodehouse. Keen observers like Evelyn Waugh asserted that the England Wodehouse writes about never really existed. Yet the appearance and reappearance of places and characters, the ability to see the same character from several other characters viewpoints, the interweaving of characters for example, Bertie Wooster and Tipton Plimsol both belong to the Drones and therefor must have at least a nodding acquaintanceall contribute to this queer substantiality, making the England of P. G. Wodehouse, Utopian as it is, as solid as Faulkners Yoknapatawpha County. All of this is by way of explaining why Blandings Castle is such an enjoyable listen. You get the back story of how Freddie Threepwood met and married Niagara Aggie Donaldson. You finally understand what a character in one of the later Blandings Castle novels was talking about when he describes Lord Emsworth as being worried about his pumpkin (your natural reaction is to assume its a typo; he must have meant pig). You discover the surprising family connection between Lord Emsworth and his head gardener. And you get the full story, only alluded to in later books, of the chap from Nebraska. Beyond these revelations that do so much to illuminate the rest of the Blandings Castle saga, you get Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend, probably one of the sweetest stories Wodehouse ever wrote; not saccharine sweet but rather revealing an unsuspected tenderness and solicitude on the part of the ninth earl. So much for the first six stories in this collection. The other six are a delightful grab bag: one featuring Bobby Whickam, the rest the various nephews and connections of Mr. Mulliner who work in Hollywood. Bobbys tale is pure Wodehouse lunacy and the last story, The Castaways is a writers-eye view of Hollywood that should not be missedespecially if youre a writer. James Saxons performance makes me wish hed record more Wodehouse. His characters all live as individuals in your ear buds and his vocal range covers every Wodehousian nuance, from the sprightly and brainless to the dark and dubious. P. G. Wodehouse almost never disappoints. Wodehouse's Blandings stories are some of his best, and this performer does a fine job. Plum Great Work Wonderful stories with colorful characters that represent what made Wodehouse great. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rumpole-at-Christmas-Audiobook/B002V8HBEC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Rumpole at his Best Mortimer writes a good yarn - Bill Wallis does a great job of reading them!The characterisation is excellent! Not much about Xmas, but I liked it anyway Any additional comments? I'd forgotten how much I liked the Rumpole series. Xmas isn't really a part of these stories, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. And a Grouchy Christmas to You! I'm a recent fan of "Grumpole", having just discovered him for myself a week ago, with the first book in the series, "Rumpole of the Bailey", with Patrick Tull narrating on the version I listened to. I thought no one else could possibly do Rumpole quite as briliantly as Tull did, but must say I enjoyed Bill Wallis's performance as the hapless yet sympathetic barrister tremendously. Rumpole is no great fan of the Christmas season, which every year brings him a new tie from She Who Must Be Obeyed and a bottle of lavender water to this unbending wife, who drags him from one Christmas engagement he can little look forward to, to yet another worse engagement, with the finale being a stay at a "health farm" where the best he can hope for finally happens: a murder suspect to defend to take him away from insipid health food and miserable company. A very entertaining holiday read that I'll be sure to return to regularly during the Christmas season. Rumpole continues to please!! Rumpole and his dry wit are back at it again in this collection of short tales centered around Rumpole's Christmas holidays away from the courts. Of course, his wife, Hilda--or 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' is always present. The stories include the annual socks and tie present for Rumpole, and the bottle of lavender water for Hilda. Each different vacation finds a mystery for Rumpole to solve. He also has remembrances of pre holiday cases with Judge Grave'stone', who offhandedly barks his views from the bench. The logic and humor, combined with some modern day issues, continues to be a high point in Mortimer's writing! Predictably Wry British Humor Rumpole at Christmas isn't great literature - it's definitely on the lighter side of fiction. But it's easy to become tired of humorless and bleakly-introspective stories that have unfortunately become the norm in short fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Eveningland-Audiobook/B0779LKT72 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Eveningland Subtitle: Stories Author: Michael Knight Narrator: Scott Sowers Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In his powerful new short story cycle, Alabama-born Michael Knight illuminates the everyday beauty and heartache of life along the shores of serene, history-haunted Mobile Bay in the days leading up to a powerful hurricane. Long considered a master of the form and an essential voice in American fiction, Michael Knight's stories have been lauded by writers such Ann Patchett, Elizabeth Gilbert, Barry Hannah, and Richard Bausch. Now, with Eveningland he returns to the form that launched his career, delivering an arresting collection of interlinked stories set among the "right kind of Mobile family" in the years preceding a devastating hurricane. Grappling with dramas both epic and personal, from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the "unspeakable misgivings of contentment", Eveningland captures with crystalline poeticism and perfect authenticity of place the ways in which ordinary life astounds us with its complexity. A teenaged girl with a taste for violence holds a burglar hostage in her house on New Year's Eve; a middle-aged couple examines the intricacies of their marriage as they prepare to throw a party; and a real estate mogul in the throes of grief buys up all the property on an island only to be accused of madness by his daughters. These stories, told with economy and precision, infused with humor and pathos, excavate brilliantly the latent desires and motivations that drive life forward. "Michael Knight is more than a master of the short story. He knows the true pace of life and does not cheat it, all the while offering whopping entertainment."

(Barry Hannah) Members Reviews: OK, not the best of Knight's books These stories are okay. I've read all of Michael Knights work, and I would probably recommend other books (like the Typist or The Holiday Season) before this one. Some of the younger characters in these stories don't seem very real. And there were a couple of instances that made really weird references to technology, like the narrator didn't know how the internet works even though it was set in today's world. That is a really small thing, but I couldn't get over it. Southern Alabama gem A short story collection that reads like a wonderful regional novel. I enjoyed every separate, but Mobile connected vignette. Beautiful... Would we have more writers who could summon language like this. Language that puts us beside the people in the story --seeing what they see, feeling what they feel. This author gives power to the reader...a rare and beautiful talent. Another impressive collection by a master of the form. Two things I rarely do: read new short fiction or review purchases on Amazon. Michael Knight is so good that I was compelled to break the first rule, and Eveningland was so brilliant that I was compelled to break the second. and Michael Knight is my new favorite writer.

Members Reviews: Definitely worth the read Several of the stories in this book were beautifully written. The imagery alone makes this book of shorts something worth reading. Porter takes moments, memories, and gives one a snapshot of beauty and emotion involved in human decisions. Well-done Short stories not to be missed I love short stories and have probably read thousands over the years but this collection had me mesmerised. Each story was totally original and engrossing and took me on a journey where I had no premonition of how it would end. Andrew Porter has incredible insight to write so eloquently in the title story of the female experience in a relationship beteen a young woman and an older man, this story was beautifully told and the ending was full of pathos. All the other stories were equally as good and I would highly recommend this book to lovers of short stories. Fun, yet surprisingly deep, stories I bought this book on a whim that the author has the same last name as I do. Each of the stories is fun to read, and can be read within a matter of minutes. However I found that after reading each story my mind was sufficiently intrigued to go back and reread it, slowly, ponderingly. Great depths of storytelling surfaced when I did that. Beautifully written collection! Just finished reading this book and I can't stop thinking about it. The writing is gorgeous--full of poignant meditations on being human and trying your best to come to terms with the past. Porter definitely understands people--the secret thoughts we all have toward one another, the hidden motivations behind our actions. In so many of the stories ("The Theory of Light and Matter," "Azul") you get the sense that the author has looked into your heart and taken notes. Read the opening story--the fantastic "Hole"--and I dare you to put the book down. A deeply emotional reading experience--one of the best new books I've read in the past year. Honest and compelling I'm so very glad that I discovered Andrew Porter. I read this just after I read his novel "In Between Days." I am waiting for his next literary achievement. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Five-Second-Rule-20-Short-Stories-to-Pick-Up-Audiobook/B01HP2K6SQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: So-so set of short mysteries featuring U.S. Grant This is a collection of short stories with U.S. Grant investigating murders. They're in no particular order, the first taking place after the Civil War, and the rest at various points during the war. In one, it's not Grant, but his horse, investigating the murder. Honestly, I liked that one the best. The characterization is mostly good. There's good attention to the mores and social assumptions of the time. The plots, sadly, are just a little too pat, and seem like a waste of a great character like Grant, and of course his horse. Not bad, but, really, nothing special. I bought this audiobook. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Complete-Short-Stories-of-James-Purdy-Audiobook/B00G042OFE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Complete Short Stories of James Purdy Author: Jame Purdy, John Waters (introduction) Narrator: Alice Lunsford, Cassandra Campbell, Bonnie MacBird, Jim Meskimen, Stephen Hoye, Coleen Marlo, John Rubinstein, Gabrielle De Cuir Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 11-05-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Celebrate "an authentic American genius"(Gore Vidal) in James Purdy's first complete short story collection. The publication of The Complete Short Stories of James Purdy is a literary event that marks the first time all of James Purdy's short stories - 56 in number, including seven drawn from his unpublished archives - have been collected in a single volume. As prolific as he was unclassifiable, James Purdy was considered one of the greatest - and most underappreciated - writers in America in the latter half of the twentieth century. Championed by writers as diverse as Dame Edith Sitwell, Gore Vidal, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, Carl Van Vechten, John Cowper Powys, and Dorothy Parker, Purdy's vast body of work has heretofore been relegated to the avant-garde fringes of the American literary mainstream. His unique form and variety of style made the Ohio-born Purdy impossible to categorize in standard terms, though his unique, mercurial talent garnered him a following of loyal readers and made him - in the words of Susan Sontag - "one of the half dozen or so living American writers worth taking seriously." Purdy's journey to recognition came with as much outrage and condemnation as it did lavish praise and lasting admiration. Some early assessments even dismissed his work as that of a disturbed mind, while others acclaimed the very same work as healing and transformative. Purdy's fiction was considered so uniquely unsettling that his first book, Don't Call Me by My Right Name, a collection of short stories all reprinted in this edition, had to be printed privately in the United States in 1956, after first being published in England. Best known for his novels Malcolm, Cabot Wright Begins, Jeremy's Version, and Eustace Chisholm and the Works, Purdy captured an America that was at once highly realistic and deeply symbolic, a landscape filled with social outcasts living in crisis and longing for love, characterized by his dark sense of humor and unflinching eye. Love, disillusionment, the collapse of the family, ecstatic longing, sharp inner pain, and shocking eruptions of violence pervade the lives of his characters in stories that anticipate both "David Lynch and Desperate Housewives" (Guardian). In "Color of Darkness," for example, a lonely child attempts to swallow his father's wedding ring; in "Eventide," the anguish of two sisters over the loss of their sons is deeply felt in the summer heat; and in the gothic horror of "Mr. Evening," a young man is hypnotized and imprisoned by a predatory old woman. These stories and many others, both haunting and hilarious, form a canvas of deep desperation and immanent sympathy, as Purdy narrates "the inexorable progress toward disaster in such a way that it's as satisfying and somehow life-affirming as progress toward a happy ending" (Jonathan Franzen). It may have taken over fifty years, but American culture is finally in sync with James Purdy. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jame Purdy) Tue, 05 Nov 2013 04:35:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Complete-Short-Stories-of-James-Purdy-Audiobook/B00G042OFE thebookvoice.com 25:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The "fires" in his life! - Greatest influences When Raymond Carver died in 1988 at 50, the literary world lost a truly unique short story writer. Carver, a master at dialogue and often called a minimalist, created stories with substance where a mystery looms beyond the surface, stories so commonplace, with common people doing common things. It's true, the stories are laced with people who endure alcoholic sadness, financial burdens, emotional immaturity and those just searching for the dream that doesn't quite happen. We get a glimpse into their lives and these characters reflect everyday America whether it was the 60s or the 90s. Those characters are his life and they are us! Read any Raymond Carver story and you can identify with some element. Referring to the title, "Fires", Carver is talking about two strong influences in his life, one being Gordon Lish, at that time, a literary editor and the other, John Gardner, who said to become a writer you need the necessary "fire". The profound essays are titled "John Gardner, The Writer as Teacher", and the other is "On Writing." He offers excellent advice. Carver believes the strongest "fire" he had was his two children, a time he refers to as "ravenous and ferocious years of parenting." He writes of that epiphanous moment in a laundromat, laboring over washers and anxiously waiting with frustration over the next available dryer before picking up the kids. This parental chore was NOT what he envisioned great writers doing. Sadly, what he means about the children being a great influence in his words: "And I would always have them, and always find myself in this position of unrelieved responsibility and permanent distraction." The bulk of the book is poems that reflect his life, and the poem about Charles Bukowski is here. If you prefer his literary poems, a wonderful collection is here and just a few other short stories "Distance", "Harry's Death", "The Lie" and an amusing story, "Where is Everyone", the title later revised to "Mr. Fixit." If you know Carver's many stories were revised by Carver or possibly the editors, but this collection includes the longer version of "So Much Water So Close to Home" And, like any other Carver collection, this is especially good because of his essays on the "fires" in his life. ...Rizzo. The fire this time This review relates to the poems, and not the essays and the stories. The poems are among Carver's best. They mark out the time of life when he is most deeply disturbed. So the poems about alcoholism ( although this is not the right way of saying it because they are never simply just about that) are among the most moving. His long poem on Charles Bukowski is very effective. It gives a sense of how this kind of 'portrait of another person' by seeing the world through his voice, can truly be an insight into the writer's own life also. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Terrors-Echo-Audiobook/B002UZL5CA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: enh The characters in the first story turned me off, so I skipped to the second, which was was about an artist whose models were all brutally attacked after they finished posing for him. It was predictable and the characters were stereotypes (NYC cop, Irish Catholic girlfriend, gay art critic, emo artist, creepy artist's sidekick), but it held my attention for a little while. The third and final story was Stephen King's, "Things They Left Behind" about ghosts of the victims of the Sept. 11th attacks. Normally I love his short stories, but this one really fell flat. Disappointing Tedious stories, unimpressive plots. Only saving grace was the narrator - great voice. Difficult to finish. King surprisingly touching Stephen King's "The Things They Left Behind" is strangly touching and wonderful story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/University-of-Gatica-The-Complete-Series-Audiobook/B078FGJ6QJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Marked by its quiet power and emotional nuance, her fiction garnered widespread praise. Now, at long last, Tallent returns with a new collection of diverse, thematically linked, and deeply powerful stories that confirm her enduring gift for capturing relationships at their moment of transformation: marriages breaking apart, people haunted by memories of old love and reaching haltingly toward new futures. Mendocino Fire explores moments of fracture and fragmentation; it limns the wilderness of our inner psyche and brilliantly evokes the electric tension of deep emotion. In this audiobook, Tallent explores expectations met and thwarted, and our never-ending quest to avoid being alone. With this breathtaking collection, Elizabeth Tallent cements her rightful place in the literary pantheon beside her contemporaries Lorrie Moore, Ann Beattie, and Louise Erdrich.

Members Reviews: Ten Excellent New Short Stories by Elizabeth Tallent Reviewed by C J Singh (Berkeley, California) A few days ago, Elizabeth Tallent gave a reading of her story, âMendocino Fire,â from her latest book at Mrs. Dallowayâs, an independent bookstore, in Berkeley, California. "Performed her wonderful story" about tree-hugging young conservationists is a more accurate description. Of the several leading authors Iâve recently heard reading from their latest work at Mrs Dalloway's, none comes close to her vivid performance. Of the bookâs ten excellent short stories âThe Mystery Callerâ resonated with me the most. It complements one of her earlier stories, âNo Oneâs a Mystery,â a much anthologized story we discussed in our writersâ group. That story is about an 18-year girl who has convinced herself that her seducer, older and already married, will marry her despite his repeated assertions of no such intention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Trailing-West-Audiobook/B00N10YQP6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: No one tells tales of the frontier better than Louis L'Amour, who portrays the humanside of westward expansion - the good and the bad - before the days of law and order. Collected here are six stories penned by America's favorite Western author. "Trap of Gold" Wetherton has been three months out of town when he finds his first color in a crumbling up thrust granite wall with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold. The problem is that the rocks are unstable, and taking out the quartz might bringthe whole thing tumbling down. "Keep Travelin', Rider" Tack Gentry has been away for a year when he returns to the familiar buildings of his uncle John Gentry's G Bar ranch. Now the ranch has a new owner, who tellsTack to make tracks. But Tack has other plans. "Dutchman's Flat" A six-man posse heads into the desert after a squatter named Lock who shot a man in theback. Once they catch him, there won't be any trial. But Lock knows the desert better than they do and can pick them off one by one. "Big Medicine" Old Billy Dunbar has discovered the best gold-bearing gravel that he's found in a year, but now he is lying face down in a ravine, hiding from Apaches. He is going to need a good strategy to get out of this one alive. "Trail to Pie Town" Dusty Barron shot a man, who had relatives in the area, and now it looks like he isgoing to be facing a clan war. "McQueen of the Tumbling K" Ward McQueen, foreman for the Tumbling K Ranch, rides into town and is shot down by gunmen and left for dead. But they made a critical mistake because McQueen is not dead - and he is looking to get even. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Louis L'Amour) Tue, 26 Aug 2014 23:19:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Trailing-West-Audiobook/B00N10YQP6 thebookvoice.com 04:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Triangle at Rhodes Subtitle: A Hercule Poirot Short Story Author: Agatha Christie Narrator: Nigel Hawthorne Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: October on the island of Rhodes is a veritable paradise of privacy, beauty, and calm - or so Hercule Poirot has imagined. The reality is quite different, as the arrival of famed Chanel beauty Valentine Chantry causes a ripple of malice to be felt across the island. She captivates at least one married man with her wiles and good looks, as her brooding husband watches on. Poirot senses that someone has murder in their heart, and he guesses right. As things come to a tragic head, only Poirot the quiet observer can piece together what has happened in this lover's triangle. Members Reviews: Great story, but isn't that Hugh Fraser? What made the experience of listening to Triangle at Rhodes the most enjoyable? The story is entertaining. What other book might you compare Triangle at Rhodes to and why? Evil under the sun by Agatha Christie. What does Nigel Hawthorne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I'm fairly certain that the narrator is Hugh Fraser, not Nigel Hawthorne. If you could take any character from Triangle at Rhodes out to dinner, who would it be and why? Poirot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Pilgrims-Audiobook/B002UZDV1S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Pilgrims Author: Elizabeth Gilbert Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: When Elizabeth Gilbert's story collection Pilgrims first appeared in 1997, it immediately announced her compelling voice, her comic touch, and her amazing ear for dialogue. Brave and unforgettable, the heroes of Pilgrims are sure to strike a chord with fans old and new. ©2007 Elizabeth Gilbert; (P)2007 Penguin Editorial Reviews: Elizabeth Gilbert published Pilgrims, her beautiful, bristly short story collection, in 1997, nine years before Eat, Pray, Love, her exuberant, raw meditation on divorce, depression, and healing, made her suddenly famous enough for Julia Roberts to slip on gladiator sandals and beads to play her in a film version of the book. Its a shame that Pilgrims will now probably be forever eclipsed by Eat, Pray, Love since it, too, peels back convention to reveal, with empathy and droll language, the primitive nuttiness and courage that lends ordinary people heart. By definition, modern pilgrims are wanderers, struggling through daily grinds to find redemption, or the true purpose of life. Each of the tart, spiny characters inhabiting Gilberts 12 stories is searching for something her pilgrims hang out on ranches and in bars, in remote corners of Wyoming and Montana, and vegetable markets in the Bronx. There is sturdy Martha Knox, a ranch cook, with a dark, brown braid thick as a girls arm, and Rose, an elderly widow who drives a kindergarten school bus, crammed, one morning, with ghosts, all adoring suitors from her unchaste past. None of Gilberts characters is immediately charming, but all compel with their routine habits and dustbowl looks. Coleen Marlo, narrator of Pilgrims, has a silk slip of a voice that ably roams from the coarse drawl of a rodeo cowboy to the hollow whine of Babette, a bawdy Manhattan nightclub singer. Marlo passes up the easy fixes of pinning characters with cartoonish regional accents or undermining their essential dignity by assuming an absence of formal education translates into broken English. Pilgrims is both buoyant and prickly. Under Marlos finespun, intelligent narration, listeners will find an intuitive collaborator to Gilberts good flow. Critic Reviews: "A fine first collection of 12 stories that are richly varied in setting and content, and enlivened by their author's flair for vigorous dialogue and concise summary statement."

Not sure because Ive listened to another Elizabeth Gilbert book and loved it. Elizabeth Gilbert is amazing !!!! Elizabeth Gilbert is amazing !!!! Like a magician she pulled these magnificent stories out of thin air !!!! All her work is first rate !!! A convoluted story. A good listen. Fun to hear story read by author.

This story in The Bane Chronicles, The Course of True Love (and First Dates), is written by Cassandra Clare. Members Reviews: Great story, one narration problem. The story is great of course, but the narrator gave Magnus a sort of NY/Jersey type accent and it REALLY throws me off. As for the actual narrative, it's everything one could hope for from a first date between Alec and Magnus. The inherent kindness in Alec's protective nature, the implacable goodness beneath Magnus' facade of flippancy... And of course Claire's sarcastic humor throughout. Apart from Magnus' wierd voice, luckily only used when he deals aloud, David-Lloyd's narration is lovely, I love his light Welsh accent. A short, fun, pleasant listen. Sweet story. I laughed more than I expected. GDL's narration is fantastic. The rapping...my word... Too sweet! Would you consider the audio edition of The Course of True Love (and First Dates) to be better than the print version? I think each version give different feelings. The print version is sweet, and listening it being read makes the story feels sweeter. They "support" each other. ^^ What did you like best about this story? Magnus descriptions about Alec, to Jace, and about Magnus feelings and hopes for the "Stupid sexy Shadowhunter" ^^ Have you listened to any of Gareth David-Lloyds other performances before? How does this one compare? No, I haven't. This is the first time, and I quickly like it. Thank you for the great job! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, it did. I have a good laugh ^^ Any additional comments? I love Magnus. I love Alec. I love it when they are together. Stupid couple hahaha I love the story and I love the narrator. Thanks! amazing it's such an amazing performance and I love to listen to it again and again :) I highly recommend it ! Malec Ive listened to this story atleast a dozen times and it always is a great listen. The narrator's voice is perfect for Magnus and holds your attention throughout the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-199-Adventure-Dramatised-Audiobook/B004290VD6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lovely Stories I have been a fan of Eudora Welty's for as long as I can remember, and I was quite excited about the prospect of hearing her reading her own exquisite short stories. It was wonderful to hear her voice, but the dear lady spoke so fast that it's very difficult to understand. Still,if you're a Welty fan, it's well worth a download. Enjoy. Quality Loved the author and a chance to hear her reading her own work. However, this audio download is not the easiest to listen to. The speed of this recording could be slowed down considerably if it is to be enjoyed. Listen to Miss Welty in her own voice Listening to Eudora Welty tell her quiet tales of the south is a rare treat. Her small stories kick into your psyche and leave you yearning for more... Delicious - I wanted more! Ms. Welty's reading of her short stories is mesmerizing. I felt as though I were watching a play, or acting as an anthropologist looking into a world I'd never witnessed. She vividly takes you to a time and place with sparely written but richly inhabited characters. Deeply funny, moving, and very short. Highly recommended. Why I live at the P.O. is the best Hearing Miss Welty read her story "Why I live at the P.O." is one of my favorite audiobook experiences. It's a great story and a great listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Best-of-the-West-Expanded-Edition-Vol-1-Audiobook/B002V1O2BO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/541/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I just finished listening to this audio book, and it was so good I'm going to purchase the next volume. The writing is crisp, descriptive, and the length of each story is perfect. While the narrators listed are Roseanne Cash & Crystal Gayle, there were other male narrators as well -- excellent narration and recording quality. I highly recommend this collection of shorts. Best of the west vol. 1 For what this book is it is fine. I am not much on short stories. This book reminded me of the old dime novels that I used to read when I was kid. Not bad but not my cup of tea.
