Robert, Shelly, and Cal barely made it out of the Seventh Ward with their lives, let alone their sanity. But now, flush with cash, they have settled into a comfortable routine. Underlying it all, however, are nagging questions that continue to bother all three, questions that can't be ignored once Robert starts experiencing dreams - dreams of a prison isolated on an island with ties to Leland Black. Before long, he comes to the uncomfortable conclusion that their encounters with ghosts are only the beginning.

Members Reviews: strangely a good read I have listened to the first two books which I liked very much with this third one the other two makes more sense can't wait for the 4th! great job needs a new narrator The narrator did not change voices enough between the characters, even the females.

(Stephen King) Members Reviews: Really really bad. Paul Michael Garcia is my new favorite narrator. in fact his narration was the only thing that helped me keep listening. i really struggled to finish this. I had read Hitchcock, about how the original Psycho book was adapted. then i read the original psycho. I LOVED both books and will listen to them again. so when i saw this sequel i was SO EXCITED! It starts like a b horror movie sequal. but that didnt bother me. i actually really enjoyed the begining. but then it pulls an Alien 3. (that's all ill say, so i dont spoil anything.) then goes full on stephen king. bad stephen king. too many side characters. too much pointless back story. randomly bizarre, perverse, and perverted scenes. a convoluted plot. a story that breaks numerous, basic "how to tell a good story" rules. just bad. through all of this, the great narration and entertaining opening chapters convinced me i should stick with it. I hoped there would be a redeeming ending that would make it all worth it. I never guess an ending, but this time i did. in the middle of the book, i briefly guessed an ending, but immediately pushed the thought aside. I thought, "No way the author would do that. it's just too silly..." Then that ending actually happened. PARTS of the ending actually surprised me. however, the final payoff left me angry and wishing i could go back in time and re-read the first book instead. Like i said, this book started good , but pulled an Alien 3. by this, i mean that it moved away from characters and elements i enjoyed about the previous book, and actually ruined a lot of them. There is actually a third (maybe fourth?) book in the psycho series, which i had planned on reading. after this disappointment, i doubt i'll read them. He's Back Nothing like the film, and that's what makes it even better! Norman Bates manages to escape his psychiatric lock down by murdering and impersonating a nun, as you do! His psychiatrist takes a leave of absence to track him down, and don't you know it, just as all this is happening, Hollywood is filming Norman's life story.....could he be heading out there for a guest appearance?! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Tracks-Audiobook/B074QTDT7H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Jack in Utah TRACKS, a short story, is the first Jack Nightingale appearance since the climactic ending of the 6th novel in the "main" Jack Nightingale series. It is therefore, the first of a couple of novels (so far) that take place in the US rather than in the UK. One need not have any read any of the preceding novels to appreciate Jack or his sense of humor, but if you have read some of the early novels, you may be puzzled as to how Jack comes to be in the US.. If you want to know, read the novel LASTNIGHT. Anyway, Jack finds himself in Utah on a mission to help a friend of Mrs. Steadman, his ace-in-the-hole for all things supernatural. Annette Carson's father who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease is found dead out in the middle of the desert in a place the locals call "The Tracks" because 50 years ago the railway ran though there and there are still a few pieces of the track remaining. Carson senior was found with nearly every bone in his body broken with no explanation. These are the sorts of cases that Jack excels at, and before long, there are other deaths and Jack is very much a fish out of water trying to figure out what is going on. With the exception of Mrs.Steadman, there are none of the usual supporting cast because Jack is now in the US, and I miss them. But Leather's usual wit and pacing are in fine form as Jack investigates and, naturally, finds the answer. This one is a little different from most of the Jack novels and shorts (nary a demon in sight) but there's more than one way to get supernatural. Recommended. JM Tepper A rather weird story with an unexpected ending. Leather ... A rather weird story with an unexpected ending. Leather always keeps the reader;s interest by attempting unusual themes that inevitably differ from other authors. Love the Jack Nightingale character and his chain smoking flaws Love the Jack Nightingale character and his chain smoking flaws. A likable and well meaning supernatural detective. The best Stephen Leather stories is where Jack outwits Demons. A little creepy but its fun to be scared! Five Stars Great tale, as usual. I loved this story I loved this story, short and sweet. I am developing a passion for Stephen Leather. I wouldn't mind owning them in hard back. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mateguas-Island-Audiobook/B013SDCUNK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Except for the foul language and adultery, I would have thought this was written for teens or even pre-teens. So sorry I wasted a credit... Eh.. So this book makes this husband and wife out to be Jerks and B's. I didn't care for the adultery & one of the "twins" sounded like she'd been "touched". You've got 2 normal girls & 1 sounds like a bright 10 year old, but the other one sounds like a 3 yr old. The Shouting by the narrator everytime the 3yr/narrator said anything became really annoying. I had to keep turning the volume down each time the child "spoke". I really thought the story had a chance but it took too many clichéd turns. I enjoyed this book. Good book. A few surprises with a good ending. I would recommend this to others . This book was dissapointing What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Delivery on the plot that was advertised. What could Linda Watkins have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The "mystery" of the island is really the back ground of the story. Title should have been Cheating on mysterious Matuguas island. She should write romance novels instead of thrillers. What three words best describe Christina Delaines voice? She was ok. I found the child's voices to be incredibly annoying though. What character would you cut from Mateguas Island? By the time I quite I didn't care about any of them. Lame. Any additional comments? I couldn't finish the book. The mystery was hardly touched on through the first 2/3rds. It is mostly about a bitter wife and the infidelity of the couple. Boring, when you are expecting a thriller. By the time the mystery part started to pick up I no longer cared about the characters, and thought how stupid that they are even together any longer at this point regardless of the children. The children would have been better served had the parents split...etc. etc. Enthralling tale I enjoyed every minute of this story. I am looking forward to the next book "Return to Mateguas!" https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Doug-Bradleys-Spinechillers-Volume-Five-Audiobook/B004WKUVXU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you're at home, then get some logs ready and put on your most comfortable slippers, as we kick things off with Doug Bradley's well-researched introduction to the authors and stories featured in this volume. Ambrose Bierce brings us "The Death of Halpin Frayser", an intriguing tale of a young man's increasingly spooky comings together with his mother, alive and dead. The next story may well be Edgar Allan Poe's most famous, and it is certainly amongst his best; "The Fall of the House of Usher" is tour de force of classic horror writing brought to life as only Renegade can do it. Following Poe's epic masterpiece is "How It Happened", a short and sweet piece from Arthur Conan Doyle about a runaway car and it's impact on the narrator's life. Then, another great story from the imagination of Conan Doyle, "Lot No. 249". This epic story, at over 80 minutes in length, is the longest we've released so far. It is also acknowledged as the story that kicked off the malevolent mummy genre, inspiring many more stories and movies. We round off this volume with Edgar Allan Poe's beautiful poem "For Annie", one of our favorites and a lovely, heartbreaking way to bring this volume to a close. So throw those logs on the fire, turn off the lights and settle in to hear some of the worlds best short horror stories, read by one of the worlds best narrators... unless you're going to listen to the stories in the car, in which case please enjoy while driving safely. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar Allan Poe) Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:40:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Doug-Bradleys-Spinechillers-Volume-Five-Audiobook/B004WKUVXU thebookvoice.com 03:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love this series During the book sale, I treated myself to all 13 of these wonderful productions and I've enjoyed them so much I can't tell you. This one may be my favorite, though. Ambrose Bierce's masterful time-twisting in "The Death of Halpin Frayser" is unforgettable. Arthur Conan Doyle's story of the mummy is excellent. And what more can be said for "The Fall of the House of Usher?" Every time I listen to Poe, I am stunned by his musical, poetical ear for language. (Besides, I've often thought I'd end up like Roderick Usher should I go mad, still painting and surrounded by stringed instruments!) Poe is the master who stands above all others in imagination, originality, depth, and intelligence. He always leaves more to the imagination than he explains, and leaves the reader wanting more. While I could do with a little less Lovecraft, I'd still recommend the series to anyone with a taste for the dark, Gothic, and supernatural. Bradley's readings are outstanding, and worth listening to again and again. Chilling! If you're a fan of weird fiction / horror, you can NOT go wrong here. Doug Bradley is, in my opinion, the best possible reader for tales of this (and maybe just about any...) sort. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Tales-from-Beyond-the-Pale-Season-One-Volume-5-Audiobook/B005WX80GQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Tales from Beyond the Pale, Season One, Volume 5 Subtitle: Johnny Boy & The Demon Huntsman Author: J. T. Petty, Ashley Thorpe Narrator: Larry Fessenden, Amy Seimetz, Shea Whigham, Bill Weeden Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-11 Publisher: Glass Eye Pix, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Volume 5 features two episodes from the first season, including "Johnny Boy" by JT Petty and "The Demon Huntsman" by Ashley Thorpe. Produced by Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely. Terror on the baby monitor! "Johnny Boy", written and directed by JT Petty, takes us from the streets of New Orleans to a babys nursery in this frightening tale about the anxieties of parenthood. Featuring Amy Seimetz (Bitter Feast, A Horrible Way to Die), Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire, Splinter), and including Bill Weeden of Tromas Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD. In "The Demon Huntsman", written by Ashley Thorpe, Lord Capel returns to his ancestral manor to reclaim his title. En route, he sees a black stag, the capture of which becomes an obsession. But the stag is merely a lure to draw victims out upon the moor, and Lord Capel, in his haste to gamble the lives of those around him in its pursuit, will instead find himself cutting cards with the Devil. Critic Reviews: "Fans of shows from A Prairie Home Companion to This American Life [who] take their stylistic cues from radios glory days should enjoy these macabre R-rated tales." (The New York Times) "ONE OF THE YEARs TOP 10.

Title: Tales from Beyond the Pale, Season One, Volume 5 Subtitle: Johnny Boy & The Demon Huntsman Author: J. T. Petty, Ashley Thorpe Narrator: Larry Fessenden, Amy Seimetz, Shea Whigham, Bill Weeden Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-11 Publisher: Glass Eye Pix, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Volume 5 features two episodes from the first season, including "Johnny Boy" by JT Petty and "The Demon Huntsman" by Ashley Thorpe. Produced by Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely. Terror on the baby monitor! "Johnny Boy", written and directed by JT Petty, takes us from the streets of New Orleans to a babys nursery in this frightening tale about the anxieties of parenthood. Featuring Amy Seimetz (Bitter Feast, A Horrible Way to Die), Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire, Splinter), and including Bill Weeden of Tromas Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD. In "The Demon Huntsman", written by Ashley Thorpe, Lord Capel returns to his ancestral manor to reclaim his title. En route, he sees a black stag, the capture of which becomes an obsession. But the stag is merely a lure to draw victims out upon the moor, and Lord Capel, in his haste to gamble the lives of those around him in its pursuit, will instead find himself cutting cards with the Devil. Critic Reviews: "Fans of shows from A Prairie Home Companion to This American Life [who] take their stylistic cues from radios glory days should enjoy these macabre R-rated tales."

Members Reviews: Bubba Where Art Thou? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes because it's fun adventure emphasis on the fun. This season of Bubba the author seems to be focusing on each of his greatest strength. In Night of the Museum it was non stop action scenes with epic set pieces. In Moon Over Bourbon Street it was world building and against a mystery backdrop. In this one it just nonstop fun as Bubba is in Shakespeare Midsummer fantasy world and is so out of place there. I was laughing the whole five hours. What other book might you compare Midsummer to and why? One of Shakespeare comedies but thankfully everyone speaks in contemporary English. Some of the characters are slightly stilted in speech but only when they are speaking formally. Which character as performed by John Solo was your favorite? The bartender. I really hope that guy gets his own novella, I really want to learn more about that guy. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Laughter throughout. There are plenty of Bubba stories filled with emotional gravitas that will have you crying or as close as I get while reading fiction. This is not one as it's very light hearted throughout. If you want a recent story of Hartness released on audible that as serious and dark as it gets try Heaven's Door with Quncy Harker. Any additional comments? So far all of the Bubba stories for this season are self-contained, unlike Seasons 1 and 2 that were full novels on the installment plan so you can start here if you never read any of the books. There will be season 2 spoilers but still each story is a full novel this time around with a beginning middle and end. LOVED IT. It's a GREAT LISTEN. JOHN SOLO is a GREAT NARRATOR. I COULD LISTEN HIM ALL DAY. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Quitters-Inc-Audiobook/B002VA3OKU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I love this story and saw the movie with James Woods, it was great! I did not like the narration at all. I just can't get into it and can't seem to get past the first 5-10 minutes. disapointed This is one of my favorite King short stories but I was disappointed by the performance. At several points during the recording, there is a heavy handed sax driven muzak playing in the background - it makes the performance come off as cheesy and makes the reader difficult to understand. As for Roberts - he reads through the material very quickly and he often sounds like he has the microphone too close to his mouth and is often hard to understand. I tried setting the ipod to slower playback but it just made him sound drunk. I set the eq on the ipod to spoken voice and that seemed to help a little - although by that point I may have just been used to it. The fact that this was so short was probably the only reason I stuck it out until the end. did I actually pay for this rip off? what a total rip off. all the mo ey that is made off of books and still....this A short story that cost too much. What would have made Quitters, Inc. better? A longer story. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) While the ending was good it didn't give me enough. What didnt you like about Eric Robertss performance? Almost mumbles through some parts. Any additional comments? Price should be cheaper for such a story. You WILL Quit!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, this book is riveting. I could not put it down until it was complete. What did you like best about this story? Strange twist...unexpected events. What about Eric Robertss performance did you like? Eric made me believe he was telling his own story. If you could rename Quitters, Inc., what would you call it? You WILL Quit!!! Any additional comments? Keep up the great work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Niceville-Audiobook/B0083A37E0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Niceville Author: Carsten Stroud Narrator: Ann Marie Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 97 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Something is wrong in Niceville.... A boy literally disappears from Main Street. A security camera captures the moment of his instant, inexplicable vanishing. An audacious bank robbery goes seriously wrong: four cops are gunned down; a TV news helicopter is shot and spins crazily out of the sky, triggering a disastrous cascade of events that ricochet across twenty different lives over the course of just thirty-six hours. Nick Kavanaugh, a cop with a dark side, investigates. Soon he and his wife, Kate, a distinguished lawyer from an old Niceville family, find themselves struggling to make sense not only of the disappearance and the robbery but also of a shadow world, where time has a different rhythm and where justice is elusive. Compulsively readable, and populated with characters who leap off the page, Niceville will draw you in, excite you, amaze you, horrify you, and, when it finally lets you go, make you sorry you have to leave.

(Peter Straub) Members Reviews: Good Story- Wrong Reader Stephen King tweeted about how much he liked this book and The Homecoming, so of course I bought it right away! I really liked the story- crime mixed with supernatural elements I guess you could say--but the reader- sorry- just so breathy and sing songy- probably right or some stories, but not for this one. So I don't know- maybe try the sample and see if you're ok with the reader before you buy it- or try the book. I see the next one is read by someone else so fingers crossed for a better outcome. Couldn't get through it. Took too long to be interesting. Narrator wasn't a good fit. Overall waste of funds. Great story but failed to blow my mind I can't say that I didn't like this story. I really did. It was interesting, intriguing, and well written. I found it to be a little drawn out, some of the extensive back stories and character development was lost on me (I should also note that I have the attention span of turnip). So...great story, performed very well, a little wordy at times, and the climax that brought everything together didn't quite melt my brain as terminally as I had hoped it would; certainly a worthy read/listen. to boring for night driving Hard to finish, had to many plots, sci-fi ghost story cop adventure what. time filler https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Barricade-Audiobook/B076FFFYLR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

One night in 1980, a man becomes a monster. Haunted by his past, Travis Stillwell spends his nights searching out women in West Texas honky-tonks. What he does with them doesn't make him proud, just quiets the demons for a little while. But after Travis crosses paths one night with a mysterious pale-skinned girl, he wakes weak and bloodied in his cabover camper the next morning - with no sign of a girl, no memory of the night before. Annabelle Gaskin spies the camper parked behind her motel and offers the cowboy a few odd jobs to pay his board. Travis takes her up on the offer, if only to buy time, to lay low and heal. By day, he mends the old motel, insinuating himself into the lives of Annabelle and her 10-year-old son. By night, in the cave of his camper, he fights an unspeakable hunger. Before long, Annabelle and her boy come to realize that this strange cowboy is not what he seems. Half a state away, a grizzled Texas Ranger is hunting Travis for his past misdeeds, but what he finds will lead him to a revelation far more monstrous. A man of the law, he'll have to decide how far into the darkness he'll go for the sake of justice. When these lives converge on a dusty autumn night, an old evil will find new life - and new blood. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Andy Davidson) Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:28:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-the-Valley-of-the-Sun-A-Novel-Audiobook/B0742H6TR6 thebookvoice.com 09:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Half a state away, a grizzled Texas Ranger is hunting Travis for his past misdeeds, but what he finds will lead him to a revelation far more monstrous. A man of the law, he'll have to decide how far into the darkness he'll go for the sake of justice. When these lives converge on a dusty autumn night, an old evil will find new life - and new blood. Members Reviews: The best kind of bizarre I'm gonna get this out of the way... I'm related to the author by marriage. Not a close relative but in the interest of full disclosure, there is a link. That said, I read this novel as I would any, to see how long it would be before I ditched it. Well, I didn't. It took me a while to read it from the time of purchase to finish but don't blame the story, blame life. I'd read a bit then consider what I'd consumed. I really wanted to finish this because where were the murders (serial of course) going to take Travis Stillwell? Would he or wouldn't he take yet another life? Cause Travis is the main link in the chain for all the character in this book. He is the one that everything and everyone comes back to. Annie Gaskins and her son, Sandy. Texas Rangers John Reader and Cecil Kasper. Rue. They all are links in Travis' chain. Each cause Travis to make choices. Some beg, others request, and still others action push choices onto him. You get a serial killer, vampire legend (of a different sort), and moral dilemmas. There are twists and turns that make you wonder where you are going and do you want to get to the end of that road. Well, I'm telling you, the road did not end the way I expected. And that's good. A bizarre kind of good. Darkly Beautiful It's a great time for horror. My to-be-read list is as tall as the Dark Tower and I'll never reach the top of it in this lifetime. But In the Valley of the Sun by Andy Davidson is one I'm very happy to say I was able to experience. The book is about vampires, though Andy never once mentions the word vampire in the story, which I know was a conscious choice on his part, and one I happen to agree with in this particular instance. But moreover, the story is about people and the pain they suffer, usually by someone else's hand. It's about a lonely, broken man named Travis Stillwell and his search for something he lost a long time ago. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Free-Story-Friday-Collection-Volume-2-Audiobook/B00PHCWDWE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Perfect Match After listening all of Stephen King's books that have ever been published, I am still excited to read another title from SK, even if its just a very short story. As a SK's follower, the constant reader knows that King have a passion for baseball. I even read the "Faithful", about the Red Sox winning in 2004. It's not a surprise that he would write a story on the game, but what is surprising, that he had a co author for "A Face in the Crowd." Maybe because Stewart O'Nan was a co author of the "Faithful" also. It is a perfect match between the two authors because they are both die hard into baseball. Nevertheless, SK's novels and his novellas never gets old. Unless you are a huge Red Sox fan, skip "Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season", because its a baseball diary between Stephen King and his friends. As for "A Face in the Crowd", its a classic writing, short and demented. Kept me reading This is not one of Stephen Kings best but it was interesting enough to keep me reading. Short and Though Provoking, Disappointing Ending.. Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan combine to create a haunting tale of baseball and ghosts in A Face in the Crowd. Have you ever watched a game of baseball and paid attention to the people in the crowd sitting behind home plate? Probably not, but after listening to this story you might look a little bit closer. Dean Evers is a baseball fan, newly moved from New England to Florida. While watching baseball on his new HDTV, he starts to notice people from his past sitting behind home plate. He sees his childhood dentist, a kid he used to make fun of in school, his deceased wife, his business partner. Through these characters we explore Dean's life and learn his story. His story is haunted and interesting. I was genuinely excited to see who would show up behind home plate next, and what this character would teach us about Dean. This setup is very well done, but unfortunately it doesn't follow through to the end of the story. The ending was a major disappointment. It's so abrupt, that I honestly thought my iPhone hadn't downloaded the complete audiobook or something. There was a lot of potential in this story, and I think I'd have a much higher opinion of it with a stronger ending. Craig Wasson's performance is excellent, and fits the style of this novella very well. Great Short Story This was an interesting little short story, a surprising ending to an old mans life, written beautifully, and narrated well.

Members Reviews: A Very Good Book that's quick to get thru in a day I stayed home sick one day and finished it all by dinner time! It was a bit scary, but on the whole, one of the tamest books written by Dean Koontz. The Vision The negative remarks I wish to make about this novel are made by the author at the end of the story. Koontz also admits that this is an early work. Audible should disclose the original print date of a novel. More importantly Audible should not charge full price for a novel which by the author's own admission is inferior to the body of his work. This is not trustworthy. A Koontz lover says Bad Koontz??? I think this is the worst Koontz I have read or listened to. It was not up to snuff. The characters are weaker than usual. There is less impressive humor, less impressive descriptions, and a graphic violence that I associate more with King than Koontz. Some parts don't even make much sense (which is rare for Koontz). Every author has a bad day and this book should have been left un-resurrected. Bad Koontz! Animals Even if animal mutalation is part of life and definitely part of many sadistic killers horrific behaviour, i wish there was a warning about it as it bothers me in the extreme. It was interresting to hear an earlier Koontz Where does The Vision rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Even this early Koontz is better than most novels. Hints of what Koonz will become. What could Dean Koontz have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Rewritten the book with his current ability! [SMILE] Have you listened to any of Dan John Millers other performances before? How does this one compare? Nope. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me urge the writing & plot to come up to Koontz's current ability https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Darkness-Prevails-Audiobook/B00SZADAN6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'd classify these stories as "moderately" freaky. Just enough "ew" to keep you gripped! Unique Stories An amazing collection of stories, (at a great price), strung together by a recurring theme that pops up in unexpected places from beginning to end. For me, these are like no other stories I'm familiar with and I enjoyed them greatly. There is some gore and a bit of sexual content, so if those things bother you, you might want to steer clear. However, if you're looking for short stories that are genuinely terrifying, this could be your book. Wrong Narrator for these Stories Content was so so but generally written from male characters' perspectives so a female narrator really doesn't work for this. Also she has a very neutral tone for horror content. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Comes-the-Blind-Fury-Audiobook/B06XP18W91 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Typical John Saul fare I'm not hating on John Saul because I've read plenty of his work but if you are looking for an original story you won't find it here. However, if you like spooky houses with a tragic background and child ghosts then you will be pleased. Good book Good book. A little boring at first but it draws you in. Not very scary but a little unnerving at times. Easy read. Good book I have really enjoyed this book, I have been reading John Saul for a long time always found them very interesting. Psychological terror - maybe? I'd forgotten how much I like John Saul's books. This one reminded me. Another good story Although this one is not a favorite, it is still a story filled with John Saul's typical twists and turns and kept me reading late into the night. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Night-Things-Audiobook/B0744ZPHMB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

First I have that Eric Moore did a fine job with this story. He had an excellent voice for the subject matter. Now on to the book; it starts ok, then the pace slows down. I thought more would happen. but really not much did. I mean the house was cool. but I wish they explored it more. The mothers choice in men.. was awful, and her husband... well He was a jerk. The kid " be friends" the monster thingy but, the last few chapters had me very lost. and when i was done with the book, I closed it, and thought, what? what just happened? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Highly Entertaining What a fun listen! Starting with a real life conundrum (a boy and his step father do not get along) that satisfyingly grows into something much bigger and more sinister; this story was similar to House of Leaves, but better, I think. Three compelling characters drive this story, all of which I despised and felt for, at times. This story had a fascinating and believable relationship between mother and young son, who happens to be quite brilliant. I won't say much about the paranormal element for fear of spoilers but I will say that the 'monster' was a delicious change of pace that took me by surprise. Some paranormal stories these days are weak on plot. This one has a strong plot, great characters and awesome scares. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a paranormal thriller. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Hauntingly Good! Super creepy haunted house story! Grabbed me from the beginning and loved it from beginning to end. Perfect for those who love paranormal, isolation, creepy mansion stories. Similar to the Rose Red style, Winchester house mansions this story is about a mother and son and a new husband/father who head to the mountains to rent a mansion for the summer. Not everything or everyone is who they appear and the build up and twists and turns are wonderful. The narrator Eric Moore does a fabulous job with every character. A definite must listen!!! I look forward to more listens from the author and narrator! I received a free review copy of this book at my request in exchange for an honest review. Instant mashed potatoes and french toast Any additional comments? I loved that line in the book so much, I needed it as a title.I enjoyed the idea of the book more than the execution in most of it. The writing was good, but I didn't really like most of the characters. I even went back and forth on the protagonists. But maybe that is the point. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Floating-Staircase-Audiobook/B0735PHHFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sauerwein Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Journalstone Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Following the success of his latest novel, Travis Glasgow and his wife Jodie buy their first house in the seemingly idyllic western Maryland town of Westlake. At first, everything is picture-perfect - from the beautiful lake behind the house to the rebirth of the friendship between Travis and his brother, Adam, who lives nearby. Travis also begins to overcome the darkness of his childhood and the guilt he's harbored since his younger brother's death - a tragic drowning veiled in mystery that has plagued Travis since he was 13. Soon, though, the new house begins to lose its allure. Strange noises wake Travis at night, and his dreams are plagued by ghosts. Barely glimpsed shapes flit through the darkened hallways, but strangest of all is the bizarre set of wooden stairs that rises cryptically out of the lake behind the house. Travis becomes drawn to the structure, but the more he investigates, the more he uncovers the house's violent and tragic past, and the more he learns that some secrets cannot be buried forever. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ronald Malfi) Tue, 27 Jun 2017 14:18:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Floating-Staircase-Audiobook/B0735PHHFK thebookvoice.com 09:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The bladeless hacksaws, shadeless lamps, tables with missing legs, headless axe handle, and other unremarkable items add up to a pile of junk. Yet someone took the trouble to inventory each worthless relic in a cryptic ledger. It has all the makings of a great mystery - whispering, coaxing, demanding to be solved. But the more the boys devote themselves to restoring the forgotten possessions and piecing together the puzzle behind them, the more their fascination deepens into obsession. Soon their days are consumed with tending the strange, secret collection - while their nights become plagued by ever more ghastly dreams - nightmares that soon seep into reality. And when a horrifying discovery surfaces, so does the chilling truth about the terrifying events that rocked the town seven years before and the mysterious disappearance of Pinecrest's last resident - a twisted legacy with a malevolent life of its own...and a bottomless hunger for new victims.

This is one of his best books, kept me on edge till the very end John Saul I've loved listening to John Saul books for a while. Thank you audible for the book. With in our Possessions What an interesting story of 3 wealthy families who vacation together at Phantom Lake.Eric and his two friends spend an unusual amount of time going through old photos and objects in the old house that Erics parents have rented for the Summer.The objects they find happen to be the collection of the former houses owner a Dr.Darby,who was very eccentric in his collections,these items happened to once belong to various murderers,happen to be possessed by the evils that inhabit those people,causing Eric and his two friends to have horrific nightmares only to wonder and discover that those nightmares were real and if some how,they had caused them.Things get real on the 4th of July when an old homeless man decides to hatchet off the heads of all the celebrants gathered around to watch the fireworks.This act puts an end to Phantom Lake,a horrific scandal to cause the area to become deserted only to allow the evil to once again lay in wake for another opportunity to unleash the evil it's harbors. Sigh....so disappointed. I keep hoping Saul's books will be as good as I remember when I first read them in the 80's, but the last few have been somewhat disappointing. This book reminds me of the television show Friday the 13th: The Series with its cursed objects. I failed to engage with the characters and just kept waiting for the book to conclude. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Novel-of-The-Black-Seal-Audiobook/B073RQ77MZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Way too much talking about feelings!!! this last book was not as good as the other two. It did not go into detail of how the virus started or what started it. you talk too much but I have people felt not enough action and too much technical stuff. I was expecting a huge fight scene with the colonel. That did not happen that was very disappointed. John Talon Hero Love this series! You will have so many emotions, love, fear, sadness. I don't want to give anything away... just at one point I cried like a baby, in another part I laughed out loud. This is a must read series. Very predictable This will be my last one in this series though there are more. It's very perdictiable, the lead character.... another great sequel as usual another great sequel, couldn't put it down till the book was done and I knew all my fav characters were safe lol Soooo you were going to sleep...... How is it that your finding a place for the night to sleep then all of a sudden your separated and saving survivors? How is it you have a group of murderimg mean hunting for you and you leave your door unlocked? How is it that you set up characters and events to happen without an outcome? I suppose I could go on and on. I must say I've never had a series that I'm constantly perplexed with the story line and not only do I finish the book but I also continue to purchase the next book in the series. It's a need to know what happens at this point and I'm on a zombie kick so what the heck at least I like the narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Fall-of-the-House-of-Usher-Dramatized-Audiobook/B002V8N0VA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a great dramatization! This is truly a great adaptation of one of Poe's most notable stories! Easier to pay attention to than most readings. Awful audio recording! This audio book starts with an introduction to who Edgar Allen Poe was, and a basic background of his life. It also offers a quick history of the particular audio dramatization you are about to hear. The narrator was annoying as all get out. He has the style and cadence of William Shatner. It also alternate between adding odd voice reverb and echo effects to the initial narration to bounce back and forth between segments of the background intro. I found it to be like nails on the chalkboard. Also this whole introductory nonsense isn't segmented out into it's own chapter marker, so I couldn't just skip past it and immediately find the start of the audio dramatization. The actual audio play was about the same. The narrator reminds me in voice and tone of Watson Pritchard from "House on Haunted Hill" - that 60's horror movie with Vincent Price. They also continued to use those audio effects. It was pretty campy. Not a good classic radio drama that stands the test of time like, say, a War of the Worlds, or even a good old Green Hornet episode. It was seriously cheesy. Save your money. Don't buy this unless you've got a thing for 1940s camp. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Tales-from-Beyond-the-Pale-Season-One-Vol-3-Audiobook/B0062PYFHG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Volume 3 features two episodes from the first season, including "Is This Seat Taken?" by Sarah Langan and "The Grandfather" by Graham Reznick. The series is produced by filmmakers Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely. In "Is this Seat Taken?", written by Sarah Langan and directed by J.T. Petty, a young man meets an alluring woman on the Long Island Railroad and slowly comes to realize they have a common past... but maybe not the one she is recollecting. This twisted commuters tale stars independent filmmaker Joe Swanberg and New York actress Vonia Lania. In "The Grandfather", written and directed by Graham Reznick, a perfectly ordinary grandfather feeds his perfectly ordinary cat, waiting for his perfectly happy family to arrive for a perfectly pleasant afternoon until an unfortunate revelation puts them all on a tragic path, if the grandfather cant unravel their perfect mess first. This startling tale stars the venerable Angus Scrimm in the titular role.

Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her 13-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished in the woods of a local park. Riddled with worry, pain and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Not engaging enough Story plot overall was ok but it was very drawn out and slow at times Not my favourite - but not bad The story had some unexpected twists in it. I found the narrator's way of reading made me dislike the characters a little in some parts. Good story once it got going but I did find it pretty slow at the beginning and nearly gave up on it more than once. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Candlenight-Audiobook/B00WZOSGEQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beautifully atmospheric, subtle horror Loved this book and discovering this author has been a real treat. Terrific performance by Siriol Jenkins. A chilling tale and it actually kept me reading all night which hasn't happened in a while. Almost guaranteed to give a few chills. Love this book!!! Classic Rickman Taken back to Wales once again by the master of the Borderlands. Excellent performance as well from Ms. Jenkins. Enjoyed every minute Well worth a listen. I like this author and this is one of his better books, but what makes the book so interesting to listen to is the narrator. Excellent narration! Full marks! She was fantastic! Brilliant Rickman. I've loved Phil Rickman books for years, primarily the utterly addictive merrily Watkins series but lately I've been listening to his other works. I have found them to be beautifully detailed and each has an ability to draw you in slowly until your engrossed totally. I love his characters and the settings he lays out for us. I can't express enough how much enjoyment I find from his writings. classic phil rickman Where does Candlenight rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Phil Rickman is always high on my list of authors What did you like best about this story? The readers of rickman's books are all excellent and Siriol Jenkins was particularly good. I understand this is one of the first of his books and it did not disappoint. Which character as performed by Siriol Jenkins was your favourite? No particular favourite. He has the same skill as Stephen King-he brings characters alive with a few spare strokes. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Atmospheric and scarey. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ligeia-Audiobook/B00GUO0EI8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Ligeia Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 44 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection. The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares: Premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now. Also in this collection of Poe's tales of mystery and imagination: "The Black Cat", "The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar", "The Cask of Amontillado", "Ligeia", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Premature Burial", and "The Raven". Editorial Reviews: One of Poes earliest short stories, published in 1838, centers around an unidentified, opium-addled narrator and his disarmingly beautiful and infinitely wise wife, Ligeia, who eventually succumbs to a disease but resurfaces in an unexpected way after his second wife, Lady Rowena, too contracts a mysterious illness. William Roberts intimate, resonant performance masterfully captures the dark romanticism of Poes work, particularly the child-like awe Ligeias mystical beauty and intelligence inspires in our spellbound yet possibly unreliable narrator. Critic Reviews: "Those who thought only Basil Rathbone could narrate Poe are in for a surprise and a treat. The no-nonsense William Roberts narrates a production mercifully free of frills. No unnecessary music or sound effects interfere with the brilliance of the writing or the purity of the performance."

There are several stories and I'm only through the Pit and the Pendulum so far. I'm listening to the audio CD version, my idea of the best way to read a lot of books. Great stories for rainy nights! The phenomenal Edgar Allen Poe. He's the master of dark poetry. This CD has a sample of his best and darkest stories. The narrator did a Super job; nothing takes away from his rhythmic and horrifying stories. The narrator accomplished a sensational task, reading aloud the master's works. All around great quality and awesome stories! I loved listening to this one I am a great fan of Poe and really enjoyed listening to this. If you love Poe you will like this. Only complaint, wish there were about three or four more cd's to this package. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Raven-Audiobook/B00GUO3DIQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Editorial Reviews: A master of early American Gothic, Edgar Allan Poe wrote many classic texts, though one stands above the rest as his most widely popular and beloved work. "The Raven" begins with a heartbroken narrator alone in his room, lamenting his lost love, Lenore, when a raven appears. Initially bemused by the black bird, the narrator soon becomes frustrated by its presence, and its oft-repeated cry of "Nevermore" triggers his slow descent into insanity. William Roberts captures the complex rhythms and musicality of Poe's language with startling precision, and his controlled performance effectively unravels as he portrays the narrator's escalating madness.

Members Reviews: Porn/Action/Gore/Horror/Paranormal HE NOTICED HOW HER BREASTS JIGGLED UNDER HER SWEATER. This was written in 1985 and Tech wise, has that feel. The content has the feel of the seventies, when writers were more likely to be risqué. This is going to be way to harsh for some. For example: Chapter 2 is a blood orgy, chapter 3, 5, 7 and 32 include rape. When it is not happening, men and women are thinking about it. The last couple of hours is some of the most gut wrenching gross scenes I have ever listened to, and I have listened to a lot in this field. IT WAS SAMMY INFLICTED This is one of the better bad guys. He is rotten to the core and has the added advantage of being invisible. I was thoroughly entertained by this story. It is very different from most of what I have read. BEWARE, this book is not for everyone. This is for hardcore splatter porn fans only. Having said that, it is well written. Good narration, bad story The writing was good, but this entire story had the feel of being told by horny teenage boy. The author is apparently a complete idiot when it comes to how women actually think and feel. The female main character horribly written. I don't want to spoilers in so I won't into too much detail, but she appears to be what a teenage chauvinistic horny boy would think of a woman. The males aren't much better either and well the story is like a B level action movie. The narrator was good given what he had for story, and overall this was well read with only a few minor mispronunciations. False advertising, but normal hardcore horror The description makes you think this will be a bloody, violent pretty average hardcore horror. And for the most part it is, but with a supernatural/sci-fi twist (not far enough to say which yet). That's all and well, except the characters are so beyond unbelievable and the story so far from what is promised it takes you out of it. I got this book for 5, so I'm not that disappointed by it. But if it was full price I would be giving it one star Raunchy but thrilling! Raunchy but thrilling! First two chapters had me so confused I listened a few times before moving on, then it all came together! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ghosts-The-Ghost-Stories-Of-Noel-Hynd-Book-1-Audiobook/B00RTZFYVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Right blend of the creeps and the story was easy to follow. It was not overly scary, and even though there were descriptions of violence it was not over done. I gave the performance only 3 stars because the narrator seemed to rush through the story. However, his reading of the dialog was really well done. The story was well worth the listen and was very enjoyable. Entertaining This story held my attention. I did not find my mind wandering off like it does with some stories. The characters are likable, and well developed, the Narrater can be irritating, his style is slow, if you try to set your speed up to say 1.5, it is like he racing like a jet fighter pilot. The pauses between chapters is long, a couple of times I found myself wondering if it quit playing. But overall I really liked this story. Noel Hynd's "Ghosts" Updated and Revised Ghosts was originally written in the 80's. Hynd recently revised it for the new generations. And there lies the problem. 30 years ago, these stories were unusual, new, and great for putting a chill down the bravest of spines..... and that is no small thing. But the stories have been told and retold now, and the storylines are no longer as original. Unfortunately, a revision will not fix this. Noel Hynd is a memorable writer, and he has a hefty fan base reviewing this novel on Amazon. This book is well written and narration is strong. It starts off slower, but about half way through, it moves faster, and holds the readers attention until the end. Don't get me wrong... it's worth reading. I would have enjoyed the book more if I had not read all the reviews of those who were scared out of their mind 30 years ago, and that were able to rediscover the creepiness that they remembered. I'm glad I read it, but I think the rave reviews will be written by those who were the first to read "Ghosts" and who kept it alive in their memories throughout the past three decades. Great ghost story! This is a great book! I was hooked on Hynd from this one novel! Although I am not a fan of his spy novels (Although they are well written, they are just not my genre) his ghost stories are fantastic! EXCELLENT STORY! Where does Ghosts: The Ghost Stories Of Noel Hynd, Book 1 rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I have listened to many audible books and this has got to be in my top 10. Scary but not over the top. What does Time Winters bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I think Mr. Winters did an excellent job in bringing the characters to life. Any additional comments? Great book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Wickers-Bog-Audiobook/B01MTDLTSR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I loved this story and have already listened to it a second time since buying it. The story is set in the south. I loved the speech patterns and sayings that are very distinct and gave so much character to the story. The story begins with Julene wandering into Wicker's Bog when she hears a beautiful voice singing. She finds there the dead body of a young woman who disappeared some time ago. I won't give anymore because the story is short and I hate to give anything away. Set in the deep south the descriptions of the area and Wicker's Bog remind me of almost any swampy area. There are so many hidden areas that could be such a place. There's a story behind the bog. In this one a plantation house was swallowed by water. The curious characters who lived there died when the water so quickly overtook the place and the lady of the house is said to remain there. The authentic descriptions and colorful language really make the story. The sound quality in parts wasn't great but the narrator was fabulous! At some point I'll be listening to this again a third time and probably more! OMG! Best ghost story ever Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.I am Southern and thus have heard many good old ghost tales but I have to say this one is right up there with the best ever. Many of my elder relatives have great ones and this could be one they told me on a scary stormy night. Along with a superb story, the narrator adds volumes to the authenticity of the story. Creepy story I loved the story. The suspense and dread slowly built up and drew me into the story. The end was satisfying. The narration was very good. I took off one star for the narration because there were a few pauses that took me out of the flow of the story. An interesting short story This was fun to listen to, the narrator did a good job overall, and the story was interesting and well paced. The only thing that kept me from giving this a 5 Star rating was that I felt it needed to be a bit longer, I know it is a short story, but it just seemed a little rushed. I did enjoy it and would listen to it again in the future. 4 out of 5! Southern Ghost story telling If you could sum up Wickers Bog in three words, what would they be? Thrilling, Exciting, Heartbreak Have you listened to any of Amy Brock McNews other performances before? How does this one compare? No but would love to hear more from Amy Brock McNew If you could rename Wickers Bog, what would you call it? The Siren of the Bog Any additional comments? Take your time to listen to this Southern ghost story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Undead-Audiobook/B074QW52HG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Long, very detailed, just not as scary as I thought. Good old-fashioned story of ancient evil What did you love best about Curfew? The narrator was excellent. What did you like best about this story? It developed slowly. Not too many stupid decisions on the characters' parts. Have you listened to any of Seán Barretts other performances before? How does this one compare? Top notch Any additional comments? If you like slow moving, British horror stories you'll enjoy this. Slow creeping horror story The horror in this story was kind of subtle and I thought well done. Not overly gory (altho I can appreciate a nice gory book!), but more thoughtful, than outright scary. I thought the characters were pretty good, if a little shallow, but overall a good read Worth the listen... What did you like best about Curfew? What did you like least? Best - story line Least - I wanted to get to know some of the characters in more depth. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I thought that was the only way it could have ended. What does Seán Barrett bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The local accents used - not knowing whether they are truly on spot or not, it still added to my listening experience. Did Curfew inspire you to do anything? Avoid New Age Anything! :) Really good book I will admit that at one point I looked down and saw that there was still over 3 hours left and I couldn't imagine how they were going to drag it out that long.... but at no point was I bored in those 3+ hours. It was a great story with some good twists and the narration is spot on!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Classic-Tales-of-Hauntings-Audiobook/B009ONAW8Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great narrations of classics The performances make these old tales worth hearing again. Paul Panting, Garrick Hagon, Hayward Morse, and Sean Barrett are always first-rate narrators. (Barrett in particular is the best-ever narrator of Irish fiction, especially le Fanu ghost stories). See if these sound like you'd enjoy reading them, too: THE JUDGE'S HOUSE is about a maths student seeking solitude in an old house, where he hopes to study for his exams. Sadly, the place isn't exactly conducive to his plans. A JUG OF SIROP is Bierce's tale of a man who really loves his work, even beyond death. A RECONCILIATION is set in Japan. A man regrets leaving what we'd now call a "starter wife," the woman he traded in for higher status and success. He sets out to find her again, but things do not go as he imagines. In the autumn of 1900, an amateur antiquarian stays in a forested country area where he discovers an old sexton inclined to chat about the old days. When the sexton talks about "an old and ghastly woman that walks the house at midnight," the visitor laughs about THE WOMAN WITH THE CANDLE. Paranormal romance is nothing new, kids. THE EBONY FRAME is an old school example. A young man who fancies himself finds his great expectations met admirably when he inherits a property from his aunt. He regrets pledging himself to his fiancee, his "good little woman," and considers he might do better. While going through the stock of antiques and bric-a-brac in the attic, he finds evidence that there is a far more bewitching prospect at hand. Paranormal romance, drama, and a touch of reincarnation with a dash of bargaining with the devil. ON THE NORTHERN ICE is an all-too-innocent tale of love, friendship, and loyalty. When a young many sets out to travel to Echo Bay on ice skates, he has an unusual experience... THE HAUNTED DOLL'S HOUSE is a small James masterwork about an antique collector who gets more than he bargained for when he takes home a Strawberry Hill Gothick doll's house, "the very quintessence of Horace Walpole." Following a fight with his father, a young man is filled with self-pity and anger as he wanders about in the rain. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Rotters-Audiobook/B004V65MDE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not Rotten At All! A well written, well narrated tale about a relationship between a father and son, a young man growing up trying to understand himself, and the circumstances that have brought him to where he is now. The story holds its interest in what the father does to earn his living, he robs graves. I did not find the discriptive scenes gross or repulsive, just interesting. A refreshingly different story, I look forward to reading more works by this author. This novel is appropriate for the young adult and up. Can this be made into a movie?...... PLEASE!!!!!!! I would love to know if this is an actual thing. Do grave robbers work in a tight secret group? Searching the obituaries for any sign of a "good dig"? Treasures and money with danger and sadness. The characters stories felt believable in a "6 Feet Under" kind of way. I felt bad for the main character's bullying because he didn't deserve it but I also see how it made him pro-active. Towards the end my heart was thumping so loud with the suspense, horror, and excitement of the villain and hero battle. I got to meet the author a few years back when this book was released and I wish I had read now when I met him because I would like to know more about the story. Meh I really wanted to like this story, I love a good dark tale, dead bodies and all that happy stuff. The beginning was great, but as the story dragged into the second half he lost me. I left off right after the whole scene with Baby and the french fries, I just couldn't finish it. I have over 200 titles in my library, this is the first time that I haven't been able make myself finish an audiobook. Hard to take, but an interesting character study. Parts of this book were very fascinating. Joey as a character is interesting. The writers prose is beautiful while being utterly horrific in plot. My biggest complaint, though, is that there were several key moments in this story where I just could not suspend my disbelief. It was just too hard to accept the story. Dig in, it's a bumpy ride The book was disturbing when our main character gets sent to Live with a dad he's never met.. And the conditions are terrible. But it gets worse...dad I'd a gravedigger , whose exploits are described in detail. But then it gets even worse, he decides to learn the trade. And shockingly...it gets worse. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cold-Reading-Audiobook/B076FBX2R2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It's time to head out Dan and Quinn decide its time to head out. Quinn suggests they go to see her Aunt Meredith in Oklahoma. Seems like a good idea to Dan, so off they go. We follow Dan and Quinn in their travels as they come across infected and other survivors, most of which are worse than the infected. On the other side of the plot coin Meredith and Sheila have their own problems with Ben running amuck. Scratch Sheila and Ben. I cant stand it when survivors do not do the obvious and instead do something stupid. Meredith heads to town and decides to look up her old friend John Parrish. She finds him surrounded by infected and manages to affect his escape. Now its Meredith and John on the road looking for comfort and safety. Ultimately our two parties join together at Merediths home where they make a stand against the infected. Good continuation in the Contamination Series. Well-developed and likable if not somewhat dim-witted characters. Ill follow along in the series to see what happens. quite the storm caught off guard I found the story quite amazing to my surprise , Great Read, worth the credit. can't wait for the next book. loved it , the story was great . I like that the family is all together now. Amazing Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, this is a great series that I've already recommended to people. Which character as performed by Troy Duran was your favorite? I really like the narrator. He does an amazing job with the story and bringing the characters to life. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! I want to know what's going to happen next! meh More of the same, rather uninspired characters making poor decisions. Yet again, I wish the author would do some simple research (weapons, police tactics, etc) to make the story richer and more realistic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Doug-Bradleys-Spinechillers-Volume-Eight-Audiobook/B005402B1W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Above Average Most of these stories were quite good and on the whole I hadn't heard of about half of them which I think is beneficial in a collection. The quality of the reading was not annoying. The only irritating part was the "creepy" music they continued to play either in the background or in between tracks, which was mildly distracting and did not add much to the atmosphere. That said the reading was professional and did not have an errors other than this. A Great Collection of Classic Spooky Short Stories This audio book is a continuation of the previous volumes success. Amazing stories from well-known authors are combined into this Halloween treat for the ears. The narrator was perfectly chosen to create an eerie nature. This effect is further enhanced by subtle sound effects and chilling music that match the events of the story. This audio book is was worth every penny, and will made any October feel more festive. A warning to the curious This series is a consistently good one, and for each not-so-scary story (usually a Poe one - when are we going to admit that his stories scare no-one nowadays?) there is one really good one. In this volume, the standout is "A warning to the curious". I like to listen to these stories in bed at night with the lights out - they help me relax. But halfway through "A warning" I had to sit up and turn on all the lights, and I didn't sleep much that particular night. It's one of the most frightening experiences I've had, wanting to stop listening, but scared to stop. Exactly what you want in a good horror story. Good A few good stories, non really scary i must say, but the narraters were brilliant... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Punish-the-Sinners-Audiobook/B01NC3AW3E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I bought it for the vampire story I hadn't read any books under the author's other pen names. The very short stories can stand alone but I found them unsatisfying. I think some information is assumed based on readership of previous books. The vernacular in the 7th day of Christmas was so thick I didn't finish the story. A Dark Christmas is from the Vampyr series and didn't particularly add anything new; it was a brief moment in time with a minor character. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Greener-Pastures-Audiobook/B074VN3CS3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Benchley meets Lovecraft and Chrichton Classic horror at its best. A long slow burn and rollercoaster finish. I can't wait till the other books in this series come out. Loved it! Stick to writing, you suck at narration. The book was interesting despite the shallow stereotypical characters and a story that has been done many times before, but sometimes that's exactly what ur in the mood for. The narration was terrible and constantly jarring from bad audio editing where one sentence runs into the next into the next into-the-next without a moment pause for a period or paragraph break. And all the characters sound the same until there is another mention of how a character should sound, then he attempts (badly) at an accent or tone of the mentioned sound of the character then immediately abandoned until noted again. Good predictable book of a monster chasing a group of stranded survivors. BAD narration. Writers Are Not Readers The story was interesting. Narration added nothing. Please hire a reader next time. It will greatly enhance the experience. Did you like "The Thing" or "Alien"? Is there anything you would change about this book? The Black is a story you have read, watched or heard before. Strange creature in an underwater oil reservoir is piped on to a drilling platform isolated by a storm and fight begins. Nothing new about the plot and it is not as well done as others in the genre. What really makes it poor is the narration by the author. When will they learn to let a professional due the narration. Would you ever listen to anything by Paul E. Cooley again? No. Cooley adds nothing to the narrative except awkwardness. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul E. Cooley? How about the fellow who did "The Fold". He made a familiar story interesting. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No too much like classics that are already better. great story The story is great but the speaker is quite monotone. Definitely one of my favorite books. I will be getting the second one! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunting-of-Brynlee-House-Audiobook/B071438QZZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Couldn't continue I was so disappointed in the performance of this book that I could not even finish it. The reader ends almost every sentence like she is asking a question. There are times that is seems like she's babbling and doesn't know what she's reading. She definitely did not perform the book. She just read it. I might actually enjoy the book if I read it instead of listening to it. It had a lot of promise to it. story not bad narrator not so good Was really difficult to listen to as the narrator sounded as if she was reading in a cupboard!! She also failed to read with any feeling...could have been a lot more chilling if read properly. The story was quite good though! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Fireside-Stories-Halloween-Special-Audiobook/B077XMV5ZJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great variety of stories! Nice collection of short stories. The narrator did a great job of engaging me. Some stories are scary and some are funny, but all are interesting! Good Scary Stories These stories are good for Halloween or camping. Usually short, usually scary or creepy. Some are better than others. Roma Grays are the best. The narrator was a perfect choice. Good for Halloween!! Narration bothered me a little but Im kinda picky about that. For example, in the first story, the narrator used a different voice for a characters thoughts than what they used for when they talked . The stories are really good and engaging!! Fun short stories that are quick drive listens I like that these are short stories that I can usually finish in a day's commute. I know they're supposed to be fireside stories, but they are a nice escape while in the car on the way to/from work. My only dip in ratings was for the narration which in one or two places seemed a little too hurried and without energy. Maybe those stories just didn't resonate with the narrator, but the majority was really enjoyable. enjoyed very much Would you listen to Fireside Stories: Halloween Special again? Why? yes because I know I will have missed something What was one of the most memorable moments of Fireside Stories: Halloween Special? granny is a vampire short and sweet What about Terry F.

Members Reviews: Great performances of the classic I've heard dozens of readings of James' ghost stories over the years, particularly those from this book. The various readings on this recording are among the best. If you're new to James, this would be a wonderful place to start. Haunted objects, otherworldly visitations, and travel to foreign lands make the collection interesting. These are old-fashioned stories, very much of the author's time, but good, solid tales as only James can tell them. My Favourite Audiobook! I loved this audiobook! Great stories by M.R. James and very good narration. Probably my favourite purchase so far! Great Stories and Narration of M.R. James! M.R. James is one of my favourite ghost story authors. I really enjoy his sense of atmosphere and subtle scariness, compared with the shock-fests of today! And to top it off, most of the narration is done by one of my favourites, David Timson! Check this audio book out if you're a fan of classic ghost stories and great narration! Not bad at all. Decent "antiquated" horror short stories. Well-written but not particularly gripping. Yet, enjoyable and worth the time for any follower of this genre. Creepy and atmospheric. What made the experience of listening to Ghost Stories of an Antiquary the most enjoyable? M. R. James is regarded by many as the Master of the British Ghost Story. He has a way of setting the scene so that you think the places are real places and the people are real people, so the tension also feels real. What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost Stories of an Antiquary? My favorite stories are probably "Canon Alberic's Scrap Book" and "Lost Hearts" Which scene was your favorite? The story of the hunters in "Count Magnus" Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I have listened to this book several times, the stories lend themselves to listening a few at a time, but I have also listened to it all at once. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Awaken-Dreams-Are-Not-Always-as-They-Seem-Audiobook/B06XDW22ZH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: GOOD, BUT NOT Great Some stories were really good, while some I struggled to concentrate to finish. All in all wasn't too bad. Loved it Great reimagined legends! Always love the collections edited by Datlow and the performance was amazing. Scary stories & best part is THEY ARE ALL TRUE! What made the experience of listening to Haunted Legends the most enjoyable? I LOVE urban legends. These are embellished Urban Legends written down by REALLY talented story tellers - award winning story tellers! What did you like best about this story? The brilliant and great writing. Have you listened to any of Brian Troxells other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, just dandy. Who was the most memorable character of Haunted Legends and why? The "Black Car". The Black Car drives along lonely roads on Halloween night. The Black Car is full of Nuns, or as you get a closer look, are they nuns, or maybe they are purple witches? they are driving around the mid-west on Halloween Night in a big BLACK CAR. I grew up in the mid-west, and I heard about THIS one! I think I even saw it once. It's TRUE! And the absolute worst part is the Black Car follows you and then it get's even worse when they catch up to you, force you off the road, and of course, then there's the unspeakable "FOLDING MAN" the Purple-Alien-Nun-Witches pull out of the trunk then the story starts to get really scary! AND it's all True! I knew someone's sister's boyfriend who said he and his friends were chased by the Black Car on Halloween! Any additional comments? Loved the book. I wish some of the stories should have been a little tighter. A Beginning - a Middle - and an End, not just the "slice of life" stuff. I wish they had all been equally scary and riveting. Some went right over my head, but the ones that "got me" got me REAL good! Oh, "Cracked Pop" in the Pines Barrens, Spring Heal Jack killing as devil or an angel depending on who you ask. I wish the wonderful writing on the "headless horseman" piece had been less slice of life, and more Spook tale! I wish all had a twist ending, or a good "BOO!" at the end, but still, a good collection. Perhaps the NEXT one (please ) will require a good "BOO!" at the end, or near end, of each spook story! Thanks! Uninspired performance and poorly written... Of the twenty some odd stories in this collection, maybe three are worth reading. Pass. disappointed I got the book because I wanted to be scared out of my mind. I just needed a book to creep me out. This did not. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Snow-Audiobook/B005XC0Q6I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Action kept my attention I needed a departure - I had this book on my wish list for a while and finally listened to it. The story is fast and so it kept me listening to it all the way to the end - the narration is very good, and that does a lot for this story. I would put it on the level of a 1950's sci fi movie, which can be a good time. I want to ding this story for some reason but the truth is I was kept entertained by it and in the end that is what it was written to do. It may be a little cheesy but that does not kill it, go ahead, if this is your genre then it will probably be a story you will enjoy. Wrong Reader Jeff Pringle, with his Country Bears voice, was the wrong reader for this horror story. It was like listening to Santa Claus read Lovecraft - a complete mismatch. The story wasn't bad, though it brought to mind the plot for "Chubby Rain," the movie being made in the movie Bowfinger. Perhaps it wouldn't have if the reader had been Phil Gigante or Bronson Pinchot, someone who could have made the terror terrorizing. Still, a fair effort from Malfi at a SciFi/Horror mashup. Very Original Good Listen Any additional comments? This book was really good. The only problem I had is it left some of the mysteries unsolved. Such as what was the deal with the children and what happened to them? Its not a big part of the story so no spoilers but I just wanted that wrapped up. Very good story and didn't take long for things to start going bad for our heroes. Well Read - story too long though This audio book is very well read. Love the narrator. The story starts out interesting enough but once the main characters are stranded in the town with these creatures that take over their bodies it goes on and on and on and becomes not believable and too fakely dramatic. Didn't enjoy ending as much as beginning. ok Would you recommend this book to a friend?

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Wow. This is awful. This book doesnt work on any level. Pass it buy unless youre a friend of the author. If you are looking for action don't buy this book. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? No, I listened to half of the book and felt very cheated for my purchase; I will be seeking a return credit. I should have listened to the other reviews, but I wanted to give it a chance. Most said it was the reader that ruined it for them, but it is the lack of energy within the book. Would you be willing to try another book from Scott Kenemore? Why or why not? Yes, he seems to be a talented writer, but this book was not spectacular by far. He had a good premise, but the story was slow and lost its way. How could the performance have been better? Certainly a different reader would have helped this book, but all in all, the story was lackluster. Was Zombie, Ohio worth the listening time? NO Any additional comments? I enjoyed the idea that was brought to this story, but the execution of the actual storyline was poor. That having been said; the writing was very good, it wasn't one of those books that killed you to push through due to poor writing (punctuation, wording, grammar, etc). The book was purely boring and did nothing to hold my interest. Great book! Where does Zombie, Ohio rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book rates high . I loved the story This book is an 9 out of 19 stars/ What other book might you compare Zombie, Ohio to and why? This book is a zombie book but you cant really compare it to others because the zombie is telling the story. Have you listened to any of Danny Campbells other performances before? How does this one compare? no Who was the most memorable character of Zombie, Ohio and why? The Zombie himself. He is the main charactor and leads you through the story brillantly. Any additional comments? I will read this book more than once. I really enjoyed it and hope there is another! Two Thumbs Down! Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This is not a fair review because I could not finish the book. Kenemore is a great writer but this book was boring. The first 5 minuets (car wreck) was good then it went down hill. In the first part the main character does not act like most Zombies; he is coherent, has all cognitive abilities, and is no different than most humans except he discovers he wants to eat humans. This is as far as I got.....I yawned through most of it waiting for the action or real zombie conflict but was only disappointed. I guess it just boiled down to connecting with the main character. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Piper-Audiobook/B00CMVEE7K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: A Paranormal Gem from an Unexpected Source Where does The Piper rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? "The Piper" rates among the highest of audiobooks I've listened to, which includes the whole "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series as Stephen Jobs' biography. What other book might you compare The Piper to and why? This is much like Stephen King's work at his best--dark, well-written, and scary. What does Xe Sands bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Xe Sands could probably carry off a one-woman show on Broadway. She has a theatre full of voices, all interesting, and she commands as a storyteller. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? I just finished The Piper by Lynn Hightower, which simply blew me away. Ive known Hightower as a Shamus-Award-winning mystery writer, so I didnt look into what I was buying at all. I started the Audible book, and was quickly introduced to Olivia James, a pragmatic Southern woman living in Los Angeles. She receives a strange phone call from her brother who assures her everything is all right, that he has paid the piper. The thing is, her brother has been dead for nine weeks. I dont buy scary horror stories like this or those by Stephen King. Truth is, I get scared. When I was a kid, I saw a movie called Thirteen Ghosts, and it haunted me for weeks. Best leave that stuff alone. Still, I felt compelled to go on with The Piper. Olivia has lost her job, gone through a divorce, and is about to move back to her childhood home in Tennessee with her eight-year-old daughter. Olivia has inherited the house from her brother. For me, alarms immediately sounded. Dont go into that house where your brother died! Olivia, though, is a Southern steel magnolia, an agnostic of the paranormal. There has to be logical reasons behind the weird stuff that starts happening. I listened in the car, as I walked the dogs, as I worked out, and even as I lay in the dark in bed just when I really shouldnt be listening. I had to find out what happened. The reader, Xe Sands, voices each character, male and female, masterfully. The experience is akin to a listening to a great story around a campfire. Things in the story get worse and worse, yet you have to know what happens next. There isnt a wasted sentence. Olivia James is a strong character in an overwhelming situation. The story goes to amazing placesand it is truly frightening. I dont think I can read another like this for a while. Yet Im deeply satisfied. Now my only worry is can I find another audio book as great as this one? CREEPY GOOD!!!!! Listened to it in one sitting, thank God for blue tooth headphones, this book was AWESOME!! Absolutely Amazing! this book is stunning! I could very well see this book be put into a movie! twists around every corner. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Crown-Derby-Plate-Audiobook/B002V02TE2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Teens, camping, mysterious house. What could go wrong? A short story/novella that takes you On a quick ride through a few days of Horror. Take some teens, a missing woman, a secret camping trip, a flash storm, a mysterious house and a lot Of sin and this is what you get. A Romano of terror with twists and turns and surprises around every corner and under every floor board. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Scary Suspenseful Horror Novella!! This is a really great horror novella from Patrick Reuman. Two teenagers planning a Friday night camping trip into the woods. What could go wrong? Have they never watched a horror movie? There is a classmates mother who is missing as well in the small town they live in adding to the drama and tension. The weather turns bad and low and behold there is a isolated house in the woods. Nothing bad ever happens to kids in houses in the woods; well maybe Hansel and Gretel, but any way it is a really well written story with many twists and turns. I loved it. The narration is delivered by the amazing Joe Hempel. He delivers another outstanding performance in this fun story. This is a story that will stick with you and his voice will be the one that haunts you when you think of this story. This review copy audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge via Audiobook Boom. SO SCARY ON SO MANY LEVELS! Any additional comments? Rarely am I surprised when reading a horror book; they usually seem to follow the same trajectories, with similar characters and predictable endings. However, "Sin" was delightfully different. Not only did this story have a trajectory I haven't seen before (boyfriend and girlfriend decide to go camping nearby the boyfriend's house) but it had twists that I absolutely could not anticipate. The book is so good, in fact, that if I reveal any more I run the risk of spoiling things for new readers. So I will simply say: "Sin" is an excellent, short horror book that I would *highly* recommend to anyone who enjoys horror/suspense/mystery/thrillers. Joe Hempel gives a fantastic performance, as always. 10/10! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Unexpected twists A strange but entertaining short story of murder and disturbed minds. The narration in the audiobook makes the twists and surprises in the story come alive. It's seems to be a twisted case of bad guys vs bad guys and it's a toss up as to who will "win" in the end. Sinfully Good! You might be reluctant to buy an audiobook that slides in at just under 2 hours. Its understandable because so many short audiobooks never feel like a complete story. This audiobook is the exception to the rule! Sin feels less like an audiobook and more like a movie, a really good horror movie. The beginning gives you an idea of where the story is heading, but dont make the mistake of thinking you know how this story will end. Joe Hempel narrates and does a fantastic job on this fully voiced production. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ama-Audiobook/B01GGPL08S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: WARNING: Do Not Read if 1) You offend as easy as a PrimaDonna/Virgin Mary 2) A trip thru HELL may make you Faint or Flutter I was not planning on spending my morning reading a book. I was going thru different books, looking for one that looked interesting for my new nightly read before bed. I'd read a few lines up to a paragraph out of some interesting looking books and then decide if it would go in the "NO" category, or "POSSIBLE" category, to go thru later in the evening whilst in bed to make the final choice. It didn't happen that way this time. After the first page, I was drawn in. Knew it was probably the one I would settle on and read that evening. But the thing was, I was expecting a lull. Somewhere in the reading that I could put it down, a good place to stop, and pick up at bedtime. Again, didn't happen that way!. 3 Hours later, I finally had the real world crashing into my awareness clamoring for my time and attention. This book has been the best read I have had in a long time. Like I mentioned the first paragraphs drew me in utterly and totally. The writing style is descriptive and eloquent, the subject gritty and raw with no holds barred when it comes to potentially offensive material. (Insomuch as everyone gets offensive about everything these days) These characters are in HELL, for doing terrible things, they wont be likeable! The main character, Jason, like all of us, is flawed, but not an evil person, so he is easy to identify with and as the story progresses easy to sympathize with and care about his journey. I highly recommend this book to any person who wont faint and flutter at a trip thru hell. For those who believe in the afterlife and heaven/hell this is a must read!! I am only a third of the way through this book and all I can say is WOW!!! I don't usually leave very many reviews but this book.....absolutely brilliant. A book that draws you in to where you actually feel sorry for the guy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Angela-Audiobook/B016IVDR22 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Grotesque and beautiful If you ignore the modern references to email and the like, one could easily mistake this story for a 19th century British classic it's poetic, lyrical, dark and shadowy, yet filled with tiny moments of brilliant light and hope, only to be snuffed out again. Honestly, it's hard to do it justice in words, the prose is just so finely crafted and the narration by Rob Goll so intimate, I was sure it must be narrated by the author himself. One you will not soon forget, that's for certain! Worthy of a listen. Angela What did you love best about Angela? Angela is very lonely with a harrowing childhood that has haunted and twisted her mind throughout adulthood. Mock by society, her work is the only normality in her life and she is in love with her work colleague, the one person that shows her a hint of kindness. Her psychotic behaviour and relationship with her birds is very disturbing, disturbed,, and desperately longing for friendship. Creepy What did you love best about Angela? I liked the whole ensemble put forward between the story and the presentation thereof, nothing seemed to bring it down. What other book might you compare Angela to and why? I don't really know a book to compare it to. Which character as performed by Rob Goll was your favorite? I liked his portrayal of Angela and all the things that went through her head as she did what she did, it was a powerful combination. If you could take any character from Angela out to dinner, who would it be and why? I wouldn't, in general, because I don't think I'd like to know them personally but if I had to pick it'd be Angela because I'd like to hear her thoughts moreso than any others. Any additional comments? I got this in exchange for an honest review and recommend it to anyone looking for a short weird story with great author craftsmanship and a worthy performance. Super solid all the way around A very good and somewhat subdued tale of loneliness, secrets and unrequited love. All Angela wants is to be loved. To be understood. To not be alone anymore. Its been too many years with just her and her birds. Its human companionship that she craves. A very well done short at only 2hrs and 7min. The narrator really added to the darkening atmosphere with his spot on cadence and tone. Solid all the way around. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Stephen-King-Companion-Audiobook/B019D1BXH0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Ultimate Stephen King Reference Would you listen to The Stephen King Companion again? Why? I imagine I will over the years. It was so filled with information I can see myself going back to it in the future. I loved hearing the background information about some of my favorite books. What did you like best about this story? Having a retrospective of his body of work, what critics opinions were and the different inspirations he had for the stories. Have you listened to any of Fleet Cooper and Claire Christie s other performances before? How does this one compare? NA Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really. Just happy to hear the details about one of my favorite authors and some of my favorite books Any additional comments? I reread Gerald's Game because of this and I am glad I did. A Kingopedia: Books, Movies, Bio and Art If you want to know about Stephen King's enormous output, whether book, film, radio adaptation, collaborations with artists, etc, this is the book for you. And though it took me a bit to get into the flow, once I did I was hooked. This isn't a straightforward biography. What Beahm has crafted is a King encyclopedia, generally organized by chronology but often making tangents to explore a subject more thoroughly. For example, he'll talk about a King book then leap forward in time to talk about a film adaptation. You do get a brief King bio at the beginning of this lengthy audiobook, but a lot of the bio is sprinkled throughout the discussion of the work. And that's what's so fabulous about The Stephen King Companion. It really delves into the enormous breadth and scope of King as writer, creative artist and collaborator. Beahm seems to leave no stone unturned. He starts with the early unpublished stories and goes from there, from Carrie to the Bill Hodges trilogy and The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Some books obviously get more attention than others--The Stand, The Shining--but they all get touched on. The short stories collections get their due and notable stories are singled out. Critics weigh in on favorite King books and stories to check out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Jewel-of-Seven-Stars-Audiobook/B002V0QRRC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Times) Members Reviews: Mother of all Mummy-Stories As far as I know the Jewel of the Seven Stars is the mother of all Mummy Stories (movies, etcetera). Being Egyptologist myself this of course is must-have literature. And I thoroughly enjoy Stoker's great story, again and again. I just love this book - great listen wherever you are. The reading is very good, skilled and well told (though the actual audio quality could have been better). More Stoker, please I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Even if you are not particularly interested in Egyptology, it's a fantastic listen. Also recommended: Robert Whitfield's narration of "Dracula." A Classic Well Worth a Visit This is an early 1900's classic and for a reasonnot many people know that Bram Stoker wrote other good Horror stories other than Dracula, and this book was the original that inspired all those Hollywood "Tales of the Egyptian Mummy" genres. That said it was much better than I expected and was not at all like those original film plots, but rather had a sophistication that belied the film industries attempts to portray such stories, and a depth of knowledge about the rites of ancient Egypt that had me running to look up Abraham Stokers Bio! It built the suspense well and the characters, and It seems there were two endings and the original ending was too horrific for 1915 readers so it was softened and this is the 1915 ending but the original ending can still be read in Penguin editions. That said it was a cracking listen and the overly quaint language reflects a time gone by but also adds to the eerie atmosphere. A solid performance by Simon Vance. Entertaining Story Narration is well done. Story is an intriguing mystery with definite influence of turn-of-the-century fascination with all things Egyptian and the new fields of science. Held my interest for a long car trip. The lesser known work from Bram Stoker The narrative is building up as you go through the chapters, which makes it extremely painful to stop listening. The audio is very well produced and this is one of the works I wouldn't have the patience to read but make an awesome listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Those-Across-the-River-Audiobook/B005K08IM2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Toward the end of chapters - over and over - (AND over!) the audio just SKIPS. There is no way to tell how many words or sentences or paragraphs might be missing. Otherwise an interesting and exciting story and great narrator. Recording glitches, but a great gruesome tale Let's start with the plusses - this is a rip-snorting, fast-paced, carefully-crafted thriller in both horror and historical fiction categories. The story is literary, first rate and laid out just right. The narrator was very good, although he seemed to forget that his 3 protagonists were YANKEES in the south, and generally gave them heavy southern inflections as well, No big deal. *** Now to the not-so-good bits. 39 minutes into the recording it seemed to skip, and while the book is labeled as 9hr6min in length, the download read out at 8hr25min. I contacted Audible and they said they found no problem, and sent me a fresh file, but the problem was the same. I wound up purchasing the book on Kindle so I could make comparisons! The 39 min. skip turned out to be only a single word, and I resumed listening. But almost every chapter ends with one of these squeaky cuts, where a single word is cut off, and when the book resumes and you're in another chapter, it's very disconcerting. I THINK I heard the entire book, but I hope that Penguin Audio is more careful with its finished products in the future. Technical Difficulties, but Worth Sticking With It This audibook was not of the quality I have come to expect from Audible. There were frequent hiccups - like a CD skipping. The story got started slowly, but by the time I got to the second half of the book, I was glad I stuck with it. Gorgeous Prose, Flawed Story Buehlman's prose is a pleasure to listen to. His descriptive writing is rich and takes you there. His characters are complex and human and deeply engaging. Even his minor characters are fresh and vivid. The setting is eerie, the premise is intriguing. We are all set up for a wonderful walk through the strange, strange south. Then, about two thirds of the way through the book, I get the sense that that someone told the author to quit pissing around and being literary and write a novel just like other horror novels. Suddenly, many of the characters develop convenient but unconvincing paralysis. The "ones across the river" are disappointingly revealed to be... well, let's just say they're a lot less interesting and more predictable than they could have been. This is not a bad horror book. But it could have been an outstanding piece of writing and a better horror story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Miss-Polly-had-a-Dolly-Audiobook/B00REM49ZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Painful I like Anne Rice's work, but this was long, drawn out and downright painful to have to sit through. The only reason that I finished this was that I kept telling myself that this is an Anne Rice bokk, it has to get better. Gut wrenchingly bad... Having struggled to read through the monotonous pace of the book, I downloaded the audio. Unfortunately, the pace I was hearing mentally translated all too well as I found myself fighting to stay awake through it. Not one of Anne's better books, but this is strictly my opinion. The Witching Hour and Cry to Heaven being my two favorites and I miss her as a fiction writer. Disappointing I love Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, so I thought that her other tales of the supernatural would be good, too. Not so. This book is quite morbid and at times the descriptions are downright gross. The plot was very slow and at times quite boring. Also, I had a hard time caring at all for the characters. The best audiobook I've ever listened to The best audio book I've ever listened to. This is the best narration of all her books what a waste of time I Love Anne Rice...but not this one. Sorry. ALL the rest of her works are pure gold. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Conviction-Audiobook/B076FBNHW8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Box Subtitle: Uncanny Stories Author: Richard Matheson Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-09 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: "Button, Button", Richard Matheson's chilling tale of greed and temptation, is now the basis of The Box, the new film from the director of Donnie Darko. In addition, this outstanding collection also contains many other unforgettable stories by Matheson, the award-winning author of I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come. Critic Reviews: Both longtime fans and readers who have never encountered horror and suspense author Matheson, winner of Stoker and World Fantasy lifetime achievement awards among many others, should enjoy this collection of a dozen stories originally published in the 1950s and 1960s....The collection also includes "The Creeping Terror", a vicious parody of the author's home state of California. The inventive plots and spare but convincing portraits of the ordinary men and women caught up by forces beyond their control demonstrate why Stephen King has called Matheson his most significant influence.

I was in a hurry when I downloaded this, and failed to take note that "The Box" is just one of the short stories. But, it's a little gem. The rest are just OK. It would pass the time in the car or train. Don't let me scare you away from it, just don't expect fine horror literature. Think of it as a lesser version of Twilight Zone. Title Story Great, The Rest, Just Okay The title speaks for itself. Expecting a collection of interestingly fanciful and escapist Richard Matheson stories, I was a little disappointed by the rest of the volume. But if you like Richard Matheson's style, by all means, give it a listen. Slightly disappointed I was slightly disappointed that this was not the complete book to go with the movie. This does contain a small exerpt of "The Box" but it also has other stories within as well. The other stories weren't bad, they just left you wanting more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Like-Death-Audiobook/B00BLC5ZY2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: All manner of darkness Like Death: I'm not 100% certain as to why the book was called Like Death I think perhaps the PR guy thought 'Completely insane' or 'Mentally damaging' wasn't appropriate. Even something relating to darkness or evil would have been a bit more appropriate in my opinion. Don't rush into this story if you can't handle gore and horror. Don't rush into it if you can't stand constant WTF moments. Don't rush into it if you don't like talking/reading about killing, screwing, blood, guts, and all other manner of darkness. This book was certainly all of those things; it was deep in the world of a sick mind (Scott Raymond's, the main character). There was a lot of sexual innuendo mixed in with the horror and gore; everything, even the most trivial things seemed to be tinged in debauchery and innapropriate sexual encounters. Take for example the murder of Scott's family (which is in the books blurb), the young Scott sees his dead mother partially naked, due to ripped clothing, from where he's hiding. It did get a little, dare I say it, boring, tedious, same-same. There were things I did enjoy. Some of the craziness was absolutely unexpected. I liked that feeling of being completely thrown off balance by a twist in the story. I also found the ending to be a bit odd, but I felt that it was a good ending to this truly strange book. I didn't feel creeped out by this book. I wanted to. Some of the scenes were heading down that path, but I didn't feel the tension, I didn't feel goosebumps on my skin or the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. This left me feeling a little disappointed. One final thing, I was very disappointed that the marvellous creature on the cover wasn't in the book. I stumbled across the original artwork on DeviantART and thought it was AWESOME! I wanted to see how it was used in this horror setting, I was unhappy that it wasn't utilised. Razor-Sharp Surreal Horror That Will Peel Your Skin. The fact that Tim Waggoner no longer is a writer for Leisure is about as bad as having your hemorrhoids run over by a lawn mower. This novel is told in a manner which will demand you to stay glued to it until all of its terrifying weirdness is revealed to you. Or at least until you fall asleep reading it late into the night. It's about a crime novelist discovering a doorway to another world, or to seeing our own world as it actually is, by way of a more-than-peculiar girl. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Black-Arrival-Audiobook/B0187VF2SS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Cooley Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-15 Publisher: Shadowpublications.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 105 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The crew of the deep-sea exploration rig Leaguer discovers oil that's sweeter, purer, and sure to be more easily refined than anything that's ever existed. To confirm their own analysis of their billion-dollar find, a test barrel is flown from the drill site off the coast of Papua/New Guinea to Houston Analytical Laboratories (HAL). As the unsuspecting scientists at HAL await the arrival of the oil, they ready their lab for what they know is an important job. They've seen the test results from Leaguer; this find could make history. While the barrel is on its way to Houston, an "infection" breaks out on the far-away rig. And as life aboard the rig descends into chaos, the scientists at HAL make their own discovery - what Leaguer found is indeed historic; it just isn't oil. Instead, they've brought up a dangerous organism that could threaten all life on Earth. Trapped in their labs, the scientists must find a way to fight a creature that defies chemistry, physics, and biology. The Black: Arrival, a parallel story to the Amazon horror best seller The Black, is a pause-resisting suspense novel that will fill you with claustrophobic terror.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Black: Arrival to be better than the print version? I've read and listened to Book 1 in the series. Book 1 was probably better as a read. Book 2 was probably better as a listen. Even though both audio books are author-read, I think Mr. Cooley did a better job reading with the second book. Both are great stories. What other book might you compare The Black: Arrival to and why? It's a cross between Jurassic Park and a good zombie story. There are no actual zombie elements to this story per se but something very dangerous does spread. I would compare it to Jurassic Park because people are trapped with something very old, very smart and very good at killing. The story has some bio chemical science but is mostly action and suspense with ordinary folks as opposed to the super solider variety. It helps if you've read Book 1 but I think this can stand alone as there is no character sharing between the two parts. Book 1 is the accidental discovery of 'the thing' and Book 2 is what happens when 'the thing' winds up in a lab before anyone realizes it is 'a thing'. Any additional comments? Don't be nervous about purchasing this because it is an author-read book. It's actual better than some professionally read books I've listened to. listenable read the first so read the second. must be into the story line, BUT that author should have paid someone else to read it. it would be better with a reader with emotions instead of all the f*** words to take the place of. I could read better - hire me! Yet another bad narration Couldn't finish this book. Narrator (author) rushed thru the book by simply reading it out loud in a monotonous, disinterested, rushed tone of a person trying to get thru something they are required to read but are not interested in. He often had abrupt spaces between two consecutive words as though he had to turn the page and didn't even know what the next word would be until he read it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Demons-Devils-and-Witches-Horror-Stories-and-Tales-Told-Audiobook/B00E3DD00C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Frozen Tales Would you listen to Frozen Frights, Volume 1 again? Why? This shoesrting radio program is fantastic. I reccommned it to every one who loves radio programs and horror stories. Even my 6 year old grandson loved it. The stories will keep you on the edges of you seat. Good Scary Stories! I wasn't sure what to expect from this audiobook at first - but I quite enjoyed it! There are a number of scary stories, most of which are enjoyable. Only a few of the stories had so-so narration, the rest were good. The subject matter of the stories varies quite a bit, so I'm sure there's something in here for everyone. Recommended! Scared the s*** out of me i was terrified after every chapter i got chills all over me just everywhere chills A Prairie Horror Companion If the Coen Brothers made a spook anthology I could see it having the same feel as this audio book. Some of the stories were genuinely creepy and rather smart. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Black-Creek-Crossing-Audiobook/B002VA3F0Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Great story line.. Starting out I had difficulty with reader. UT Story line kept my interest and I was able to listen whole book in one weekend Love this book I've loved this book since I was 14, but the one thing I wish was different about it was the ending, but over all it's a really fun read One of John Saul's Best! I have read this story a few times in the past, but discovered it all over again due to Dick Hill's reading of the story. His voice expressions of the characters and John's brilliant writing make for an outstanding read for anyone wanting an exceptional supernatural thriller! SPOILER This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The book seemed to drag on. It did have some interesting moments. The ending was not what I expected and that pretty much ruined it for me. What was most disappointing about John Sauls story? the ending. Which character as performed by Dick Hill was your favorite? the cat! If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Black Creek Crossing? several black creek crossing by john Saul I really enjoyed this book if you like creepy stories then this is the book for you,its a gripping 9 hours and quite scary in places highly recommended https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Odd-Tales-Audiobook/B01DKUE7LE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Eight magical tales This is a collection of eight short stories. In them, you will read about such things as the gift of music, the magic in the forest , and restless spirits. Usually with story collections, I find that I commonly enjoy most, really like one or two, and don't care for one or two. That isn't the case with this collection. Here, I really liked most of the stories. There were none that I didn't care for. If I named any as my least favorite, it would only be in comparison to the other stories. I would also like to congratulate the author on the excellent technical skill of his writing. It seems to be the norm to find e-books littered with small glitches and typos. Again, this was not the case with this book. I found no such problems while reading these stories. I highly recommend these stories to any fan of short fantasy stories. They are gems worthy of adding to your literary treasure trove. Marvelous Journey through these tales. This is my first experience with this author -- and I vow it won't be my last. What a marvelous journey to read through these tales. I loved every one of them; it would be impossible to pick a favorite. I highly recommend this to everyone. I think it was labeled as "Horror" but since it was short stories, I took a chance. I do not find anything objectionable here; I would not call it "Horror". This book will re-ignite your innate curiosity and imagination. The writing is excellent. Get this book! This is what Kindle should be all about At 99c, this book is a great example of what the potential for Kindle can be. Mr. Doty's collection of short stories is just 45 pages long, but Kindle provides a platform for him to put these stories in our hands. These stories remind me of the the old Twilight Zone booksThe Twilight Zone the Original Storieswhere they converted the TV series to short stories, sold as paperbacks. They did the same thing with Alfred Hitchcock's TV show, I think. Some of these stories are very entertaining, and some veer towards predictable -- but for 99c, it's a delightful afternoon of reading entertainment and worth every penny! Dusty in here. Very enjoyable group of short stories. Kind of a Twilight Zone flavor to several of them. Looking forward to more from this author. amazingly odd! These tales provoke the mind to seek the unfamiliar, unspoken, and the underlying fears in us all.

First there was "Dark Recollections: Adrian's Undead Diary, Volume 1" then there was "The Undead Situation" and now "Z-Risen:Outbreak". All three were a return to the boyhood enjoyment of reading batman and Robin comics books... you know the "bam zap boff whack" sort of stuff. Now I know I'm older and more mature but wow! I loved the mindless action. These sorts of stories make me feel young again! If you like to get a longer listening time per credit, then please take into consideration the narrator of this story speaks slowly. This story is easily listened to at 1.5x speed without any complaints! The only negative I have with the story is that it didnt end the way I was hoping. Dont worry I wont spoil it for you. In conclusion, this is the type of book you listen to if you want to be entertained while taking the long commute to work without getting over involved with complex plots or intense emotional feelings. It is the type of story every stressed out not going anywhere type person (me) can enjoy to forget about everything. As a U.S. Navy vet I f***ing love this story. Watching the story unfold in the ship then the base is very well done. Then seeing how simple common sense failures is why a Zombie apocalypse is possible makes me love this series even more. The teaming of squid and the jarhead is only natural.Just 2 enlisted schmoes surviving the end of the world. Any chance of getting a mini story for where the dog came from? Its movie guy! That was my first thought of the narration. It's cool, but really? The entire book? But it was actually really good. The character voices were also very distinct, although sometimes the lead character seemed to change voices. I think he must have the best female voice by a male narrator I ever heard. I wouldn't have thought he could do that sounding the way he does. The main thing with this book is the sarcastic ribbing Joel and Jackson give each other. The rude humor fits me very well and its the best I've heard. Its not at all like the Mark Tufo books. I found that humor just silly. I found the characters had depth and story compelling with plenty of action. Not a lot of intricate plot lines, but developments with the dubious mercenaries/soldiers and shuffler zombies are intrigueing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dead-Man-Talking-Audiobook/B00NQ9PKHA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Simmons Narrator: Shelley Lynn Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 09-22-14 Publisher: Trana M. Simmons Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 86 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Weird things tend to happen when you live in a haunted house - not that author/ghost hunter Alice Carpenter has a problem disciplining the ten resident ghosts in her lakeside log cabin near forgotten-time Six Gun, Texas. When her cousin Katy calls looking for help with the resident ghost at Espirt d'Chene, the family mansion near Jefferson, Alice agrees to come to the rescue. Sir Gary Gavin, dead now over two hundred years, insists Alice is the only one who can expose his undeliberate murder to allow him to leave his tortured existence; and he's not above wreaking havoc at Espirt d'Chene until Alice concedes to his demands. Before Alice can even pack, though, Katy discovers a new murder - a headless corpse floating in her swimming pool. This new ghost - Bucky, the black-sheep son of a Texas senator - is dangerous in his newly-dead, confused state as he searches the plantation for his head. Alice must somehow uncover the identity of Bucky's murderer, or else it looks like Katy will be charged with the crime, despite several other suspects who have motives for wanting Bucky dead. To make matters worse, the homicide detective in charge, Alice's ex-husband Jack, doesn't believe in ghosts. That leaves Alice no choice but to depend on her ghost hunting mentor, Twila, and her elderly neighbor, Granny, to assist in the investigation. Katy is arrested, and there's no help for it: Sir Gary's going to have to join the investigation. Much to Jack's dismay - and the delight of the women - he is finally forced to admit that Sir Gary is real. A real ghost, anyway. Together, the unlikely team of sleuths join forces to help send Sir Gary to his deserved reward, track down the real killer, and set Katy free. biacuaduc@gmail.com (T. M.

Decent story telling, flows well. Nothing to make it stand out from the crowd of similar books. But a nice way to pass a few hours. ghosts... Fun story.....VERY well read! Intriguing mention of a plantation manor being a stop on the Underground Railroad. I'd love to see a novel centered on that...with or without ghosts. horrid narrator I don't know why someone else would say this is a good narrator. I will pass on any future audiobooks with this performer. She needs to understand pauses, and actual performance instead of reading, even if you have good command of accents. She was awful, it felt like a she was racing through the reading. And the cadence was so completely off, I couldn't stand it. I returned the audio version and read the test version Good story; narration made finishing difficult. I enjoyed the story very much, but had a hard time listening through to the end, as the narration felt like I was back in 5th grade, with my teacher reading. She's a pleasant enough voice, but I honestly find myself 'ugh-ing' out loud on several occasions. I tried bumping up the narration speed, which helped a bit, but nothing could change the ill-timed pauses and lack of inflection, or injection on the wrong places. If there are more in this series, with this narrator, I'll opt to read them instead. Very good book with local feel. What made the experience of listening to Dead Man Talking the most enjoyable? I enjoy the use of local accents and surroundings, as well as the feel of knowing the characters personally. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Scary-Stories-for-All-Ages-Audiobook/B002UZL6VU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A very interesting collection of thrilling stories. I thought this collection of stories was quite good (we purchased the audio and listen to them with the lights out and candles burning...so much fun) A couple of them kept me on the edge of my seat. My 11-year-old thought they were a little spooky (The Rain Thing and The Ticket Taker)...his eyes would bulge at times. A pleased listener! scary stories for all ages I'ts , pretty good. I bought it thinking I could use it in my elementary school class but... I think it's way too gory, violent and frightening for school. I did enjoy it for myself though. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Eerie-Stories-1-August-1937-Audiobook/B078MNRTPR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

By 1937, Ace Magazines, the same low-rent publisher who presented fans with Captain Hazzard, Flying Aces, and Western Aces, tried to enter the field with Eerie Stories. Unfortunately, it didn't catch on, only lasting one issue before folding. This is that issue. Eerie Stories returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for todays listeners in audiobook format.

Members Reviews: Sick bastards What was one of the most memorable moments of Sick Bastards? The writing is superb,plot intense and of course sickening...in a good way...The book is sort of a "day after" zombie story.once you start reading you cant put it down even if you dont like what yout are listening you have find out the rest of the story.. A twisted dystopian? Or something more? Im a sucker for anything with a warning label. And this book definitely deserves one! Four people wake up with no memory of anything other than the bomb that went off. The food doesn't last, so they do what they have to in order to survive another day. Surprisingly enough all the sex and gore doesn't feel gratuitous. It really lends itself to the story. Now there were times Im sure I blushed while listening, and was glad I was listening through ear buds so nobody else could hear. Sick Bastards also takes an unexpected twist at the end that I sure didn't see coming, and that was even more terrifying than what they had experienced in their cabin. This was my first Matt Shaw book and I have already added all the others I could find to my wish list. Chris Barnes does an excellent job with the narration as always. I just adore his accent; he is so easy to listen to and really adds depth and feeling to the story. Audiobook provided for honest review. I May Become a Vegetarian After This Would you consider the audio edition of Sick Bastards to be better than the print version? The print version of Sick B*stards is brilliant. It is the perfect mix of uncomfortable gore, sex and violence combined with a story that will keep you guessing until the very end. Was the audiobook better than the book? No, but the audiobook adds an incredible depth to the story and really makes every scene come alive. What did you like best about this story? What I liked best about Sick B*stards was the story itself. It was well-written with natural dialog that Chris Barnes read brilliantly. There are some incredibly graphic scenes of violence, sex and gore in this book, but they are all necessary to the story, not just thrown in for shock value. My favorite part? Sick B*astards makes the reader think of just how far they would go to survive. Which scene was your favorite? My favorite scene might have been where Brother kills Michael Bray. ;) If that one isn't good enough, all the scenes where the family is eating their meat made me a little ill. I still can't enjoy a nice fillet steak. Who was the most memorable character of Sick Bastards and why? The entire family, Father, Mother, Brother and Sister were very memorable. In fact, I don't think I could forget that family if I tried. Any additional comments? I read Sick B*stards when it first came out in 2013 and it got me hooked on all of Matt Shaw's black cover books. When I found out that Chris Barnes would be narrating the audiobook version, I let out a little squeal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/All-the-Bells-on-Earth-Audiobook/B00J5Q59HY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: All the Bells on Earth Author: James P. Blaylock Narrator: Robert Slade Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Doughnuts, family tensions, relatives who arrive in a Winnebago, Christmas decorations, business worries, Uncle Henry's womanizing, and pyramid schemes wrap Walt Stebbins in layers of detail and distraction. Walt runs a small catalogue business out of his garage, and he has no notion of a demonic presence in his town until a package is mistakenly delivered to him. The contents are not the inexpensive Chinese toys and novelties he deals in. The nasty-looking pickled bluebird of happiness ("Best thing come to you. Speak any wish.") piques Walt's interest, and he keeps it when he rewraps the box and passes it on to the addressee: The one person in the world Walt loathes, his former friend Robert Argyle. But Walt's keeping back the bluebird of happiness is the best thing that could have happened to Argyle - and the worst thing that could happen to Walt. What price happiness? If you have to ask... In a tale of greed and the powers of darkness, tanned, laid-back Californians come under the influence of black magic. Critic Reviews: "...in the best tradition of The Twilight Zone, crossed with wacky characters, humor and moments of real love stunningly portrayed... Blaylock doesn't give his supernatural events the short shrift. His low-key descriptions ring true and are quite chilling, much more so than the buckets of gore we're used to finding in horror novels. But then, All the Bells On Earth is quite a bit more than a horror novel..." (The Agony Column)"Blaylock is one of the most brilliant of that new generation of fabulist writers: All the Bells on Earth may be his best book... mystical and enthralling... at once reminiscent of C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength and Clive Barker's urban fantasies." (Washington Post)"Weird and funny and touching." (New York Review Of Science Fiction)"With acrobatic grace, Blaylock ... once again walks the dividing line between fantasy and horror ... Blaylock's gentle satire on capitalism gone rancid is supported by his authentic rendering of a small town where the economic reality of having to pay the bills occupies much of people's time. While the author probes the dark side of small-town life, he ultimately celebrates the virtues of simple living, yielding the sort of homey moral one finds in a Garrison Keillor monologue."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Paranormal fiction with bells on A very intriguing story about good and evil and the POV of one man as he faces what will be the most important turning point of his life. That being said the story itself had some very strong similarities to Bradbury and King, but a little lighter than King as far as horror goes. The character development was pretty good and visualization was more than decent. I did think that some of the nomenclature was very akin to 1950s and I had a hard time remembering that this novel was set in the 1990s - other than that the novel was a good listen/read and worth the credit spent. The narration was very good, no issues with characterization or suspension of disbelief. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Bleeding-Season-Audiobook/B017ACXSP4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dark and tense read. This takes place in a small town. Alan and his friends get a message that their old friend, Bernard committed suicide, and it leaves them reeling and pondering what happened? When they find a weird note left by Bernard, Alan is left with a mystery to unravel after a body is uncovered. Did they really know Bernard?? Well, this was a dark and twisted tale! It begs the question, do you really know your friends? Alan thinks back on his childhood with the gang and soon realised that maybe Bernard isn't who they thought, maybe the glow of innocence blocked a lot of what Bernard was doing. I really liked the back story because we get a great incite into the boys and Bernard especially. He was evil but did the evil die with him? The characters were all well developed and written. They grow throughout the story, which is always a plus. The plot was fast paced and gripping! It's a dark and deadly look into the mind of a disturbed child. We see how he progresses from child to child killer from Alans POV. It's a gripping and darkly delicious read and one I can recommend! I loved pretty much everything about it and will definitely be checking out more from this author. This is the first book I've listened to by David Stifel, but it won't be my last. He had such an easy voice but one suited to this dark atmosphere. He really brought across the dangerous feel of the book! I really enjoyed his narration. *I received a copy of this for review. This is no way affected my thoughts.* Gifune is a master of the genre I wasn't sure how the audio was going to stand up with this one, as I read it several years back and absolutely loved it. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. The narration was spot on and the cadence and pacing were perfect for the story. If you have read this one before or not, it is highly recommended. The Bleeding Season is the story of Alan, Tommy, Rick, Donald and Bernard Best buds since grade school. 20 years later they experience a horrible tragedy when Bernard takes his own life. Crushed by his death, the friends find out he has left a recorded message for them with clues to terrible things that he may have done and his dark and disturbed nature. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Mutated-Audiobook/B008X9IA2U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: You disappointed me again McKinney This author really knows how to frustrate me. Last book was weak because of the big deal about money and how wrong it is to steal paper money in a zombie apocalypse. This time, I don't like anything in the story. At all. Its really dumb. And the characters really do stupid things. But the writing itself is pretty talented, and the narration really good. Seriously, a red, smart Zombie? Oh, he's not just a regular smart kind that can nudge a door open or climb in a window...this is a double-tapping ipad-using zombie GOD with the tactical genius of Napoleon Bonaparte. Com'on, whats the point of it being a zombie story at all? Oh, and he's also horny and likes sodomy. Apparently getting sodomized by a zombie doesn't infect you. But he's not gay, his sexual preference is also intact. And ofcourse he leads an army of zombies. The kicker is that he leads an army of humans too. Yeah, he conquers human compounds, slaughters their families and friends, and then they join him, with gusto. Not one human thinks of putting a bullet in his brain when he turns his back. And why the heck is he red for? Who painted his back for him? Its ridiculous is what it is. There are so many frustratingly stupid situations in this book. Run Ben Richardson Run! Isn't it Ben? Blurb says Bob. I don't know, but when someone tells you to run three times, maybe you should when surrounded by zombies rather than babbling and playing "roving camera" and eventually losing both your machete and rifle. I almost fast forwarded just to get to the part where he started running. If he was barely smarter than a zombie he should have shot the red zombie ordering humans about when he first saw him. Nate ends up the hero. Yeah, that lucky, psychotic, dumb and murderously horny guy that is the salvation for humanity. Nate was actually portrayed well in this book, not like the other book. He is clumsy, but not frustratingly so this time. The characters were generally well portrayed, just the things they did were stupid. Sheesh, its just one red zombie. How hard is it to get a sniper rifle and shoot him. This is less a zombie book and more a Lord of the USB (zombie cure) stick, with a band of heroes traveling to the land of Mordor. Like a singer needs a song writer, McKinney needs a ..uhm..plot generator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cry-for-the-Strangers-Audiobook/B01MYGU4S7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Kept hoping it would get better Normally I love John Sauls books but this one was horrible. Probably a big part of it was the chosen narrator for this book. Kept listening thinking I would get used to it and enjoy the book anyway. No so in this case. Narration was wrong for the story and the story itself was too choppy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hunting-Season-Audiobook/B00AVASVRI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm a Crouch fan, but I was a bit disappointed in this weak entry. I'd give it a C+. Taylor Quinn did a great job not what I wanted I didn't really care for it much I like horror but it wasn't what I wanted it was just kinda nasty. wholly crow on a platter Where does Hunting Season rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? 2 out of 5 because I know they can write something truly scary, next time, ya? Any additional comments? Crouch and Kitt... cant wait for next collaboration.

Title: Antique Dust Subtitle: Ghost Stories Author: Robert Westall Narrator: R.C. Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-16 Publisher: Valancourt Books, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: "Dealers are undertakers of a sort. When a man dies, the undertaker comes for the body, and the dealer comes for the rest. I deal in dead men's clocks, pipes and swords. Passing through my hands, they give off joy, loneliness, fear...I have known more evil in a set of false teeth than in any so-called haunted house in England." So speaks Geoff Ashden, a regular guy trying to make an honest living as an antique dealer, but who has an uncanny knack for finding cursed objects and haunted places: a sinister Georgian clock carved with obscene and satanic designs, a hideous doll with deadly powers, a pair of old spectacles that let their wearer see a little too clearly, an ugly house with a terrifying secret, a church full of graffiti scrawled in decomposing human flesh. In this collection, award-winning children's author Robert Westall delivers a set of chilling tales for adults and proves himself, as Orrin Grey writes in the new introduction to this edition, "an obvious successor to that godfather of the English ghost story, M.R. James." Critic Reviews: "Creepy...develops a sense of palpable evil...well worth the time of readers who prefer slyly civilized British ghost stories." (Kirkus Reviews) "Fiendishly clever, spine-tingling short fiction" (Publishers Weekly) "Marvelous M. R. Jamesian-style ghost stories."

(Michael Dirda, Washington Post) Members Reviews: Magnificent collection of ghost stories! Would you listen to Antique Dust again? Why? Literary horror. If you enjoy MR James, Sheridan Le Fanu, HP Lovecraft you will enjoy these masterfully crafted stories. What was one of the most memorable moments of Antique Dust? Thinking the first story was a standard, formulaic story with the "bad guy get's his"! Any additional comments? Get it, I've read and/or listened to over a thousand horror/supernatural audiobooks. If you enjoy intelligent, well written horror without being drenched in gore, you won't be disappointed! You can't put it down This collection of ghost stories has to be one of the most amazing I have ever listened to. Every story a masterpiece in itself and yet you see the passing years of antique dealer Jeff Ashden's life progress recognisably through each. The narrator's varying tones also depict the story well. My only complaint is technical. There appears to be overlapping music and voice in the beginning of a few stories. I don't remember which now but it makes listening to the story for that short while quite difficult. Thankfully the score isn't very long - less than a minute - so not a lot is lost. Hit & Miss The stories were very well written, but I was hoping for something a little more spine-tingling. Even though it wasn't quite what I was expecting, I did enjoy three of the stories; The Dolls, Woolworth Spectacles and Portland Bill. The other half did nothing for me, so although I wouldn't say it was a complete bust, neither would I say it was worth a full credit. I will, however, admit that the narration was amazing, as are most of R.C. Bray's performances. He is the main reason I decided to give this anthology a shot, since I had never heard of Robert Westall before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Lady-of-The-Shroud-Audiobook/B003ZF9RJM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: very well told starts out long and boring by legality matters while getting to know the characters but once u get past that very well told and amazing a real snoozefest! I really liked Dracula and settled down for a nice listen. But instead found that I just couldn't keep listening to this minutely detailed account of an inheritance or something without nodding off. I am not sure if I will try to finish the book or admit defeat and try something a little more lively perhaps. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Suburban-Legends-Eatonville-Audiobook/B077PJ3VSW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The truth about the cursed town may be worse than the urban legend that sprang up around it. Much worse. Members Reviews: Beware Eatonville I liked this Zone -esque tale. I could put myself in the shoes of the hapless couple that stumbles upon the mysterious abandon town while out for a back country drive. Abandon towns have always been fertile ground for horror. The imagination instantly kicks into high gear searching for clues. What happened here? Where have the townspeople gone? Should I explore? Why do I feel this overwhelming sense of dread? Curiosity overrides self preservation in this story of an evil, forgotten town. Recommended. Very Creepy Atmoshphere I love this short story, it is very creepy and has great atmosphere. You can feel and experience the creepy silence and loneliness of the abandoned town as our protagonist explores and the consequences that follow. I very much look forward to further stories in the Suburban Legends series as this one was truly superb. I couldn't possibly recommend it any higher. Must read for horror fans and especially those who love things such as haunted and abandoned places. Great great story. OUTSTANDING Fantastic story. It flowed very well, no stagnant parts to it. Towards the end I almost had the thought that maybe, for a moment that he would prove his wife wrong, but I knew it couldn't end that way. WOW Great eerie short story I've been a fan of this writers stories every since I first stumbled across his website on the web over 10 years ago and this story doesn't disappoint. As a resident of GA, some of those unfamiliar country roads can be a bit spooky and that was captured perfectly. Overall good read. A short story that's just long enough to be complete ... A short story that's just long enough to be complete, yet leaves room for my imagination to fill some more details in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Vampire-Party-Audiobook/B076FB8N5L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Adapted from a script by award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and director S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Wraiths of the Broken Land), The Narrow Caves features voice acting by Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Daredevil), Will Patton (Armageddon, Falling Skies), Lili Simmons (Bone Tomahawk, Banshee) and Wyatt Russell (Everybody Wants Some, Black Mirror). Binary Reptile provides an eerie score that contributes to the cinematic feel of this haunting piece. Synopsis: In Florida, 1983, two college students meet at a yard party and do not hit it off. Walter and Ruby have no reason to reprise this antagonistic encounter, but something strange and almost primordial burgeons within each of them.

Members Reviews: A True Ear Movie Experience in Horror Where does The Narrow Caves rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a truly unique experience. Given the cast, the production effects, the brilliant story, and the score, this feels more cinematic than the audiobooks I've heard. It's meant to. And the production, it's GREAT! "A movie for your mind" sounds cliche, but it's true -- you'll walk away with the feeling that you've "seen" this movie, and you have... in your imagination. Who was your favorite character and why? I'm in love with the horror of what lurks in the caves... I can't give away too much, but it's absolutely terrifying. Otherwise, the main characters ALL deliver top-notch performances. Any additional comments? Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this cinematic "ear movie" experience and I'll definitely be tuning in to what other productions will be made. If you're in the mood for a genuinely creepy film for your imagination, THE NARROW CAVES delivers. Well-Produced, Creepy, and Extremely Enjoyable! I absolutely loved Wyatt Russell in "Everybody Wants Some!!", so I was intrigued and excited to hear that he was starring in a new audio narrative concept. The Narrow Caves did not disappoint! Wyatt Russell and Lili Simmons romance is an engaging through-line for a tale that is, at its core, a very creepy mystery that is fun to try and unravel as it unfolds. There are even some laugh-out-loud moments peppered in this multi-generational horror that surprised and delighted me as I listened. Its important to note that this isnt just an audiobook - "The Narrow Caves" is a fully-fleshed out audio movie! Talented actors bring each role to life, there is extensive sound design, and an original score by the author and composer S. Craig Zahler. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hellfire-Audiobook/B00ISAEIHK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On that fateful day 100 years ago, 11 people died in a fearsome fire, and since then, no one has dared to revisit the mill or the dark secrets locked inside it.

Members Reviews: Mediocre...across the board This book is mediocre in every way. The characters are without nuance and completely two dimensional. Every good guy is completely good and bad guy, completely bad. The narrator, while adequate, becomes grating when performing the parts of the teenage girls, especially the character of Beth. The story itself was okay. I made it through the entire book, though never listening with bated breath. I can't recommend this book but, at the price I paid, it wasn't a complete rip-off. 2.5 stars Oh my god Never during a book have I wanted to reach out and slap a character as many times as when Tracy acted as a spoiled brat. This book kept my interest the entire time. I hope there's a sequel and that it's read by the same person. I loved his way of narration and making the characters different. Great book for Halloween. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Horror-Audiobook/B00WUVPDPY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a great story and keeps you listening, but it needs a more wordy author. It reminds me of the old TV show, Dragnet. Just the facts, mam, and nothing but the facts. The naration is too fast and monotoned. I would love to see this rewritten with dialogue and emotion. There is none of that. However, I don't regret the time spent listening, because, like I said, it is a wonderful haunted house story. Amateurish The author had a story in mind, but it was executed poorly. This wasn't scary, it was funny. I found myself laughing out loud at how bad it was. The writing sounded like a high school creative writing project. I also found the narration distracting. The narrator didn't seem to have a good sense of cadence or intonation. He read this horror story with a cheery, uplifting tone. Something about it just felt off, and it distracted me throughout the whole story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Harvesting-The-Harvesting-Series-Book-1-Audiobook/B00UIAIZGI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: BLOODY SALIVA WHITE ELEPHANT SALE Our main character is in the middle of a zombie (oops, undead, no zombies in this book), and she starts having a memory of a white elephant sale in which she bought her sword. Often in the middle of action scenes, she reminisces about her past. Not that the fight scenes are that exciting to begin with. Here is how she described one such encounter: I STABBED HER IN THE EYE, SHE FELL. That's it. Pretty much through the first 2 and a half hours, which was all I could take. There was one good scene in which you felt you were there and in which you got that ick feeling. It was when she took her knife out of a cub scouts forehead. It was a showing not telling moment. All the rest were telling moments and were narrated like reading a shopping list. I WAS NAKED UNDERNEATH Within two hours of her killing her dear grandma and her ex-boyfriend watching his wife and kids killed, these two are going at it. She is hot for him and he is hard. Now at the last minute she does call it off, but I find it hard to believe it went even that far. GREEN BURIAL As another reviewer mentions, it was real hard to believe that this whole town turned to her for leadership. We are not shown anything that would make you believe they had that kind of confidence in this young girl and no older man thought he should be in charge. Then they decided to protect the town from the Undead, Diseased, Sick (not Zombies) by covering the bridge and the two roads coming into town. Cause the undead are not going to walk through the woods? WITH A FEELING OF DISCONNECT To top everything off this narrator was very uninspired. a spin on surviving the zombie apocalypse The Harvesting by Melanie Karsak is a riveting horror and love story. Layla Petrovich is summoned home by her elderly psychic grandmother. Grandmother Petrovich gives Layla duties to perform and vague instructions; like a dutiful granddaughter, Layla follows them to a T well, except for the part that makes her deal with her past boyfriend who dumped her to marry someone else. Shortly after arriving home, Grandmother Petrovich becomes an undead victim of the vicious and deadly virus that has hit humanity. Layla must make hard decisions that may save her small piece of the world or condemn all those she has loved and cared for to die. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Tales-of-the-Unattested-Audiobook/B01EM8TJQ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Quite British and very funny, not as raunchy as you might think from ... Quite British and very funny, not as raunchy as you might think from the author's name. A collection of short incidents. 4.5 stars. The running gag wore a teenie bit thin as I got towards the end of the book. The satirical tone reminds me of "Little Me" by Patrick Dennis. I want more Balls. Hilarious This book is short but it is absolutely hilarious, it's a fun take on the world of the paranormal without actually attacking it or those who believe.

Members Reviews: Great short story Do you believe in ghosts? Dont buy a used bed if you do. I enjoyed the story starting out in a different era and than to current day how both ended in the same way. I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator. Horror's never been so hot - sexy paranormal story I love a good haunted bedtime story as much a the next listener, but this one tops the list. It's one you will certainly want to listen to in bed, and maybe not alone! I'd rather not tell you what this story is about except to tell you that it's a devilishly clever story with an unexpected twist (or two!) that kept me guessing until the end. I'll give you two words to taunt you: Haunted Bed. That'all you get. Now just trust author and narrator G.M. Hague (he's great at narrating his own material) to weave a story that will hook you from the start. By the way, I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a adult story with adult themes and language. I will admit that certain scenes were quite arousing, and as a fan of adult erotic fiction, I will say that the adult scenes were done with taste and class. I am a huge fan of G.M.Hague. His writing is visual and poetic without being pretentious. This is a sexy, haunting thriller, my favorite kind of book. Great plot, characters, surprises, and chills. Spend a few bucks and a few hours. You will love it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/First-Love-Last-Rites-Audiobook/B00PQ4U7TO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not for the McEwan novice, but a must for McEwan lovers I won't belabor the point, as much I have to say has been written by other reviewers. First Love reads like you would expect an early set of experimental stories from a developing writer to. His prose is not as developed as in his later works (the mature McEwan writes sentences that you want to read over and over again to revel in their elegance), and the macabre is too prevalent in these stories. The more mature McEwan balances his penchant for the dark and disturbing with carefully paced character development and sentimentality, so the tragic moments are rendered especially devastating. In First Love, McEwan's tone is so pervasively bleak that the dark shocks and thrills ceased to move me beyond the first three stories or so. Now, it is certainly not fair to expect extensive character development in a collection of short stories, but nonetheless the stories become a bit rote if read too closely together. I recommend spacing the stories of First Love as tasty macabre treats around your other reading. Having said all this, I do feel that "Disguises," the collection's final story, is one of the best short stories McEwan has ever written. Avid readers will recognize McEwan's ongoing fascination with the unstable and dubious nature of the self. The skill with which McEwan weaves together an atmosphere of brooding evil with the anxiety of pubescent sexuality is stunning. Furthermore, McEwan demonstrates his later skill of creating a dark atmosphere without overdoing it. The story builds in intensity then devastates lightly, leaving the reader hanging. If nothing else, check out this final story. fine fine Later books led me to this one, which was definitely a step back I've read several of McEwan's later books, and saw this as a deal on Kindle, so purchased it. He has come a long way as a writer, in terms of my taste and what I enjoy. This book didn't appeal to me as much as the later books. That said, I did read all of the stories looking for one diamond. Three Stars Interesting to see this early work by a masterful writer. But the stories were juvenile. Classic McEwan Classic McEwan...brilliant and disturbing. Not for kids. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Last-to-See-Me-Audiobook/B075NR35V9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's not the best but not the worst. It creeped me out which was the type of book I was looking for. What did you like best about this story? The suspense and trying to guess who the bad guy is. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator was pretty bad. He did make voices different for each of the characters but it was pretty monoton. The story itself made up for the bad narration. Plus it helps to speed the book up in the app. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I had to pause the book several times because it was pretty graphic and disturbing. Any additional comments? Good book. Worth the credit but expect bad narrator. Couldn't get past the crappy narrator.. It's not a fair critique of the writing or story but an inept narrator can ruin a book- as this narrator did. He has no range of voice so was unable to depict different characters. The performance was the equivalence of listening to someone read an instruction manual. Great story spoiled by robotic narrator. Not sure how I managed to persevere until the end with this narrator but I did. I enjoyed the book overall but it would have been so much better with voice that had feeling and soul. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Carmilla-Audiobook/B01BDH2USI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Carmilla the most enjoyable? The story was well written and full of suspense. It's dated well and it's interesting to see where so many modern Vampire stories get there origins. What did you like best about this story? There are lots of good characters in this classic novel. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu really did his research making the story compelling. Although there are some plot holes which he didn't explain, such as what happens to some of the more minor characters. What does Elaine Wise bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Elaine Wise has a light voice which really suits the young lady Laura, who is recounting the worrying and mysterious events which happened to her. Elaine makes the characters sound passionate and well imagined but not over dramatised. Any additional comments? There is definitely an intensity to the relationship, which verges romantic, between Laura and Carmilla, which could be called erotic! Carmilla is much more interested in young ladies then young gentlemen and she gets very excited at times! Overall I was carried along by the energy in this story and will be listening to it again. I will however I will be keeping a light on at night, for some time to come! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Insanity-Tales-Audiobook/B00P74UKUE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Five writers have come together with 9 tales in this anthology. Foreword is by Jonathan Mayberry. Contributing authors are: David Daniel, Ursula Wong, Dale T. Phillips, Stacy Longo, and Vlad V. By and large this collection of spooky stories had the flavor of the Twilight Zone stories where much of the story seems normal, every day. But as the reader explores each story deeper, they learn that all is not as normal or pleasant as it seemed at first glance. And I feel that is what made this a greet collection of tales really, these tales could be going on right now in my neighborhood. The characters were average people on the surface, folks you would great over coffee or perhaps work with. But any one of them could be a little off, a little insane on the inside. I quite enjoyed Scalper, Chupacabra Moon, and The Sleep Artist. Memory Unit by David Daniel: This little tale involved moon glow, and some cold case files. Chilling! Dark Water by Ursula Wong Four friends (Vicky, Jane, Emile, Peter) decide to take a small vacation together staying at a place that has a natural pond. One member believes the pond is haunted as it forces her to delve into her memories of a rape sustained some time back. This one was disturbing for plenty of reasons! Jack OLantern by Dale T. Phillips Jacqueline (Jae) has had to recently move to Iowa. Shes having trouble fitting in, no one likes the nickname shes given herself, and there is a very spooky scarecrow out in the field. Of course no one believes her about how spooky the scarecrow is and that comes back to bite them in the bum. Old Man Winter by Stacy Longo We first meet the Old Man when he is perhaps 6 years old. His little sister, Patsy, has recently been born and he is none too pleased. He wants her gone and devises ways during play to make that happen. As the story moves forward, we are treated the Old Mans life and all those he eliminates. The ending to this tale was very satisfying. Scalper by David Daniel Vick Dempsey meets the Scalper at a hockey game, where the Scalper is selling tickets. But he doesnt just have tickets to sports events. He also sells tickets to various kinds of violence. At first Vick is merely intrigued and even slightly disgusted. But as he goes to one event after another, his interest grows. Can things possibly go too far? The ending was left up to the readers interpretation. I think the Scalper would make an interesting character for a series. Never Alone by Ursula Wong Raymond was small boy, living on a farm, who died from falling from a hayloft. Most of the story is centered on him after this tragic accident as he continues to haunt the house. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Come-to-Dust-Audiobook/B0759WDN3C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really loved it. This is a powerful story with highs and lows and more than a few surprises Review copy Last year, I got to read Bracken MacLeod's Stranded, sixteen crew members of the Arctic Promise who become ice bound under strange circumstances. If you haven't read it, you should. It's one of 2016's better reads. Bracken's new release, Come To Dust, is even better. Children die. It's horrible when it happens, but we read about or hear about such tragedy every day. Bracken beautifully captures the grief of laying a child to rest... "Although green AstroTurf had been draped down to cover the bare earth sides of the hole, there was no imaginable way to disguise the fact that they were lowering a child into a grave. There was nothing loud enough to dispel the silence of a dead child." Mitch LeRoux is taking steps to get his life back on track after a stint in prison. He's not just doing it for himself, but also for his niece, Sophie, who's been his ward ever since his sister took off with her drummer boyfriend. I'm pretty sure you can see that things are not going to go well for Mitch, but that's not what Come To Dust is about. The story unfolds at a blistering pace. I won't reveal all of its secrets. Those are best discovered in the process of reading the book, which I hope you'll do. This is a powerful story with highs and lows and more than a few surprises. In many ways, Come To Dust is about second chances. It also shines a light on ignorance, and fear of those who are different. Very much a tale of and for the times in which we live. Highly recommended. Come To Dust is published by Trepidatio Publishing, a division of Journalstone, and is available in both paperback and e-book formats. From the author's bio - Bracken MacLeod is the author of the novels Mountain Home and Stranded. His short fiction has appeared in several magazines and anthologies, including LampLight, ThugLit, and Splatterpunk, and has been collected in 13 Views of the Suicide Woods. He lives outside of Boston with his wife and son, where he is at work on his next novel.

For Orangefield is now the home of Halloweenland, a bizarre carnival run by the mysterious Mr. Dickens. No one who sees the carnival doubts that it's a very strange place, but its real secrets can hardly be imagined. Orangefield is also the home of Detective Bill Grant, who thinks he's seen it all. He's on the trail of an odd little girl, a girl who could hold the end of the universe in her hand. The trail will lead Grant to Ireland, the ancient home of the Lord of the Dead, then back to Orangefield, where, on what may be the last Halloween, the ultimate battle between Life and Death will take place.

Lurking within some of them are spirits and envoys of the Lord of the Dead.Sam Hain finds that his whole being is in question.The battle for the world will happen on what may be the last Halloween ever.A great culmination to a really fun series.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Still Scary Two Centuries Later I've been listening to many of the classics I should have read in high school and college, but somehow missed. Dracula is one of them. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. I really liked how the novel was a compilation of diary and journal entries, memoranda, and newspaper articles. Bram Stoker's writing and description of the Count and his castle and the evil that surrounded them is chilling even today. A wonderful reading of the vampire classic I've re-read Dracula many times over the years and always enjoyed it, so I was delighted to find that one of my favorite audiobook readers had done an unabridged version. Listening to it was a new experience, as so many small details become noticeable when heard, and I became more aware of the structure of the story than I had been before. While Van Helsing's broken English was sometimes more funny than Stoker may have intended, overall I thought all of the characterizations held up well, and despite knowing the story backwards and forwards I found myself getting teary once or twice. Definitely recommended! Utter Brilliance! I never envisioned myself looking at Victorian literature with much enthusiasm. But I was very glad so many people pointed me toward Bram Stoker's Dracula. I normally am unmoved by vampire stories, but loved Salems Lot by Stephen King, so I thought I'd get to the origin of all vampire lore by hearing this classic. The voice acting was incredible. Robert Whitfield, who narrates, does such an incredible job of portraying all of the characters with such adroit voicing that I was enthralled into the story in a way that reading it to myself would have been lacking. Much as Shakespear's plays are very trivial when read to one's self, but become unrivaled triumphs when well-acted (and conversely disastrous when poorly-acted), this audiobook lived and breathed. I cannot emphasize how amazing this book is and how well it performs. This will be a story I will listen to time and again. Bravo! Good narration Dracula has always been one of my favorite novels. If you've already read the novel and are looking for a good audio version, I recommend this one. The characters really come to life with the narration. If you're a fan of Dracula/vampire films and are looking for a similar book, remember Dracula was published in 1897. This is every bit a Victorian novel, and is thoroughly imbued with the sensibilities, language, and sociology of the period. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Pit-and-the-Pendulum-Audiobook/B00GMQAOZ2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are several stories and I'm only through the Pit and the Pendulum so far. I'm listening to the audio CD version, my idea of the best way to read a lot of books. Great stories for rainy nights! The phenomenal Edgar Allen Poe. He's the master of dark poetry. This CD has a sample of his best and darkest stories. The narrator did a Super job; nothing takes away from his rhythmic and horrifying stories. The narrator accomplished a sensational task, reading aloud the master's works. All around great quality and awesome stories! I loved listening to this one I am a great fan of Poe and really enjoyed listening to this. If you love Poe you will like this. Only complaint, wish there were about three or four more cd's to this package. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Ritual-Audiobook/B0052UX8UM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I so wanted to like this after having received a recommendation Adam Nevill is the UK's Stephen King. I felt the characters missed enough roundness. But most important, the author didn't play enough with the blurring between nightmare and its opposite. I wanted more ambiguity, if you see what I mean. Or maybe the opposite: blatant 'magical realism' 'a la Murakami. Sorry: I wanted the rather inevitable ending to happen sooner than later. Good story and great narrator What made the experience of listening to The Ritual the most enjoyable? The pace is good, it keeps you engaged and wanting to find out what is going to happen next. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ritual? It's genuinely creepy, the first half of the book in particular. The story was unusual and interesting, the characters were engaging and you never knew quite what was going to happen until the very end. What does David Thorpe bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I really loved the narrator! A good narrator can make the experience of listening to an audiobook so much better. This had me scared of the dark.... I bought this audio book as it was on special offer for Halloween along with a couple of other titles. I took a punt on this one after reading some glowing reviews on Amazon and was in no way disappointed. I stupidly started to listen to this at night, on Halloween and after an hour and a half of the story I was ridged with fear in my bed, doing everything in my power to pluck up the courage to get up and use the toilet! I eventually did and vowed not to listen to the rest of it in the dark but I had to know what happened. Over the next 48 hours devoured the rest and low and behold found myself in bed ridged with fear AGAIN unable to switch the damd Ipod off for the last hour and a half! A perfect choice, Peter Thorpe is fast becoming one of my favourite narrators, he brings every story he reads to life brilliantly and is the perfect choice for this relentless scare fest. This is some wonderfully creepy and intense stuff that Id highly recommend this if you enjoy a good scare. Chilling stuff On the surface, every horror cliche rears its head in this tale; protagonists lost in the woods, the lonely isolated house, ancient burial mounds and suggestions of a sinister and macabre history. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Spawn-of-the-Winds-Audiobook/B01MYHCXON Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Spawn of the Winds is the fourth book in the Titus Crow series. Members Reviews: A Slightly Different Side of Lumley Considering this is all part of the Cthulhu Mythos and usually involves Titus Crowe, this takes a decided departure in that it revolves around a large Texan and is more of a love story. in spite of this, it was filled full of action, suspense and thrills. While I would have liked to have seen at least one of the bad guys go on to the next book in the series, other than the big Cthulhu monster, it was a nice tight short book. the one thing that I did really like about it was it did tell a complete story. we got to know more about the Cthulhu Mythos family and more about the Wilmeth Foundation. I have to admit, I was rather used to listening to Simon Vance do his usual superb job with the Titus Crow series, but the addition of Corey Snow to the lineup as the huge Texan, gave a startling and lifelike performance to the book. Well done gentlemen! I look forward to hearing more of these two working together in the Brian Lumley novel set. The best after The Burrowers Beneath The Spawn of the Winds is my second favorite of Brian Lumley's immortal Titus Crow series. Titus Crow, for those unaware of it, is a series which follows the titular character or one of his supporting cast in their adventures against the Cthulhu Mythos. Unlike your typical Lovecraft heroes, they generally kick the Great Old Ones' asses rather than go insane and wet themselves. They're a very pulpy series with many homages to other franchises. For example, Spawn of the Winds is a planetary romance where a Texas cowboy, Hank Siberhutte, is transported to the planet Borea where the natives are ruled by the monstrous Ithaqua. A resistance controlled by the beautiful redheaded sorceress Armandra is in resistance to the Great Old One but failing badly. Will Hank get the girl and punch the Great Old One's minions to submission? You bet he will! The only question is how and when as well as who dies in the process. This book was a big influence on Cthulhu Armageddon and another reason why it rocks. If you want a rollicking good old timey adventure, this is a great story and Simon Vance does an amazing job bringing the characters to life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Books-of-Blood-Volume-6-Audiobook/B00HQLK59M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Books of Blood combine the ordinary with the extraordinary while radiating the eroticism that has become Barker's signature. Weaving tales of the everyday world transformed into an unrecognizable place, where reason no longer exists and logic ceases to explain the workings of the universe, Clive Barker provides the stuff of nightmares in packages too tantalizing to resist. Never one to shy away from the unimaginable or the unspeakable, Clive Barker breathes life into our deepest, darkest nightmares, creating visions that are at once terrifying, tender, and witty. The Books of Blood confirm what horror fans everywhere have known for a long time: We will be hearing from Clive Barker for many years to come. In this, the sixth and final volume of Clive Barker's Books of Blood, with a new introduction by Mark Miller, five new stories of darkness unleashed: The Life Of Death - Hidden in the crypt of a derelict church she found Decay and Corruption in hits terrible glory. But such glamour can prove infectious.... How Spoilers Bleed - They committed a crime no jury could convict them for. But there were other judges...other punishments... Twilight At The Towers - Ballard was the perfect spy. A man with all the cunning of an animal. Or was it vice-versa? The Last Illusion - (A Harry D'Amour novella) - New York had shown Harry horrors enough for a dozen lifetimes. He thought he'd seen the worst that flesh could suffer. Then the beautiful widow walked into his life, with a husband who wouldn't lie down dead, and all Hell on her hells. And suddenly Harry was face to face with forces that could teach Manhattan a lesson in depravity. On Jerusalem Street (a Postscript) - After the end, a new beginning: Walking the highway of the dead... ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A visionary, fantasist, poet and painter, Clive Barker has expanded the reaches of human imagination as a novelist, director, screenwriter and dramatist. An inveterate seeker who traverses myriad styles with ease, Barker has left his indelible artistic mark on a range of projects that reflect his creative grasp of contemporary media-from familiar literary terrain to the progressive vision of his Seraphim production company. His 1998 Gods and Monsters, which he executive produced, garnered three Academy Award nominations and an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The following year, Barker joined the ranks of such illustrious authors as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Annie Dillard and Aldous Huxley when his collection of literary works was inducted into the Perennial line at HarperCollins, who then published The Essential Clive Barker, a 700-page anthology with an introduction by Armistead Maupin. Barker's literary works include such best-selling fantasies as Weaveworld, Imajica, and Everville, the children's novel The Thief of Always, Sacrament, Galilee and Coldheart Canyon. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Clive Barker) Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:45:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Books-of-Blood-Volume-6-Audiobook/B00HQLK59M thebookvoice.com 07:11:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Let the games begin.... Members Reviews: You've Got to Love the Wright/Barnes Combination! What made the experience of listening to The Housemates the most enjoyable? After having previously read The Housemates and finding myself in love with Celebrity Big Brother, I had to go back and relive this wonderfully executed novel. Chris Barnes brings the characters to life in a way that made me feel as though I was in the house with the contestants. Who was your favorite character and why? In all Iain's books in which Damien appears, he is my favorite character. Iain writes with him with such depth and personality, it's hard to not like him, despite his flaws. What does Chris Barnes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The Housemates is a unique book that is disturbing and disgusting on its own. Listening to Chris Barnes tell the story adds a whole new level of discomfort and emotion that was not present when I read the book on my own. He performs different voices and accents, giving each character a unique voice, and the sound effects he uses gives the story new dimension. Who was the most memorable character of The Housemates and why? Each character is so varied, it makes them all memorable in one way or another. If I had to choose, I think either Damien or The Landlord is the most memorable character. Any additional comments? I think it's ridiculous when people complain about Chris Barnes' thick accent. Anyone who is interested in listening to one of his books has the opportunity to preview a sample of the book first, and if his accent is too thick, why purchase the book? Because of this, I find it hard to take those reviews very seriously. Accent or no accent, this narrator loves what he does and that is very obvious in each book he reads. Recommended! Horror fans won't be disappointed. What did you love best about The Housemates? It's a mixture of 'My Little Eye' and the Saw films, so doesn't skimp on the horror and it quickly gets to the point. It's an exciting story and one that could easily be turned into it's own film or tv show. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Housemates? It's hard to really say anything too specific without ruining the surprises, but lets just say that things aren't always what they seem. The "tasks" for the housemates are rather intense and messy. Which scene was your favorite? There's a certain task involving the removal of fingernails that I'll be trying not to think about for a while. Who was the most memorable character of The Housemates and why? I was really intrigued by the Landlord (essentially Big Brother) and what was really going on. There's certainly potential for sequels. Any additional comments? The narration from Chris Barnes really stood out and perfectly matched the story. One thing that is a huge part of Big Brother in the UK is the voice of Big Brother, typically a regional accent, and Chris absolutely nailed it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/When-Theres-No-More-Room-in-Hell-3-Audiobook/B014TEDYCS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Cthulhu Lives! Subtitle: An Eldritch Tribute to H. P. Lovecraft Author: Salome Jones Narrator: Leeman Kessler, Alasdair Stuart Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-15 Publisher: Ghostwoods Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." At the time of his death in 1937, American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft was virtually unknown. The power of his stories was too great to contain, however. As the decades slipped by, his dark visions laid down roots in the collective imagination of mankind, and they grew strong. Now Cthulhu is a name known to many and, deep under the seas, Lovecraft's greatest creation becomes restless.... This volume brings together 17 masterful tales of cosmic horror inspired by Lovecraft's work. In his fiction, humanity is a tiny, accidental drop of light and life in the endless darkness of an uncaring universe a darkness populated by vast, utterly alien horrors. Our continued survival relies upon our utter obscurity, something that every fresh scientific wonder threatens to shatter. The dazzling stories in Cthulhu Lives! show the disastrous folly of our arrogance. We think ourselves the first masters of Earth, and the greatest, and we are very badly mistaken on both counts. Within this audiobook, you'll find a lovingly-curated collection of terrors and nightmares, of catastrophic encounters to wither the body and blight the soul. We humans are inquisitive beings, and there are far worse rewards for curiosity than mere death. The truth is indeed out there - and it hungers.

Members Reviews: About Average Many anthologies these days invoke HPL or his most famous monster, mostly to sell a set of tales, written just for that book, by some modern writers. Here, they are all unknown to me; I've been following HPL &co. for about 60 yrs. HPL-like stories are generally predictable, as to mood, pace and character-lack-of-depth. Sooo, I rate a book of this type by the goodness of the contents: 18 stories - 4 As,and 5 Bs, for a pretty good half-a-book. Unfortunately, 6 Cs and 3 Failures, for the other half. Reassonable readers may differ! Very nice compilation indeed Respects Lovecraft's legacy and offers a contemporary look on timeless themes. Very nice compilation indeed. Four Stars Liked it a lot! Very entertaining! Did not want to stop reading. there are better short stories and less good ones I'll be brief. As with all collections, there are better short stories and less good ones. It was an enjoyable read nevertheless, if you're into contemporary mythos. There were subtle, more psychological stories and a couple of over-the-top tentacles, blood and gore -stories, but that's to be expected. For lovers of Lovecraft This is an anthology of authors writing in the Lovecraftian (new word?) style. Some are very good; some not so much. However, overall a good read and I would still buy it again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sheep-to-the-Slaughter-Post-Apocalyptic-Survival-Horror-Fiction-Series-Audiobook/B00N10XKUI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sheep to the Slaughter was a great read with a refreshing take on the Horror/Thriller genre. It left me wanting more and I am greatly anticipating the next book! Arlana's character is organic feeling and has real depth. I find myself becoming more and more invested in her character as the tale continues. A very well written short story. Ramsey's writing style mimics an early Stephen King's, who is my favorite Horror author. So if you are a Stephen King fan I recommended this excellent up and coming author. I look forward to Ramsey's next tale in this addicting short story series! but I would have liked to have seen more character development layered throughout the ... The grammer and spelling needed a few more proof-reads, edits, another pair of eyes, etc. But content-wise I would read more. Content Pros: engaging storytelling, realistic character descriptions, unexpectedly memorable after a reading it a year ago. Content Cons: The characters are developed within a few pages of being introduced, but I would have liked to have seen more character development layered throughout the entire story. I would recommend it however, and look forward to reading more from the author! Sheep to the Slaughter What an interesting read. Just loved this novella. Did not read the first one but that did not take away from any enjoyment I got from reading the second story in the series. Am new to the characters, but could immediately connect with them. Well written, can't wait for the next book. Horror is Not My Thing.... But Have I Been Turned... Horror/Thriller is not my thing but I was persuaded to purchase this book by my son and started reading, expecting to hate it. I was pleasantly surprised as the characters developed as it had substance (especially liked Arlana's character). I found it, dare I say, an enjoyable, easy read. Not at all what I was expecting but I think I have found an author in this genre that I am going to consider reading. Looking forward to the next book. Sheep to the slaughter I rated this a three star because it was understandable, but it seemed a little scattered and did not seem as organized as I wish it would have been, so it would keep my attention more active. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Black-Creek-Crossing-Audiobook/B002V1OVDS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Remarkably gratifying horror yarn." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Twist of Fate A twist of fate for two young people who are outcast by the "popular" crowd and a house that welcomes their pain enough to share a dark a mysterious secret. If you like suspense then this is a good book and the ending shows you that sometimes - things come back to a full circle. A good read on a rainy afternoon. John Saul tells a tale that does not require profound thought to enjoy. This whimsical story will grab you since many, if not most of us, have been bullied at sometime in our lives. In this book...the little guy wins and is refreshing to say the least. Much of the plot is predictable but does have a few twists and turns to keep you involved in the plot. I say, "Get this book, read it and move on." A Very Enjoyable Experience I've alwawys enjoyed John Saul's books, but this was the first one I've heard on audio. The reader did a very good job of presenting the book and distinguishing the characters in the process. Anyone who has read John Saul will enjoy the story. Anyone who is not familiar with him should give this a shot. It is well worth the time. Black Creek Uncrossed Interesting story, rather poorly done. John Saul's writing always seems childish on tone to me, not just because he is writing about children, but the narrative has that characteristic. This book is no exception. It may be because of the abridgement, but characters don't grow, but jerk between one personality set and another. The ending defies logic. There is nothing in these childrens' rather nebulous characters that would lead them to that action. first book This was the very first book that I had ever listened to on audio.

(The Times [London]) Members Reviews: Horror the way it's supposed to be! Well done!! I was initially concerned because of the possiblitiy of music included in the narration, but thankfully, the music only sets the tone to wonderful, absolutely professional narration by some of the best narrators. This collection includes some of the best by the best horror writers, and is also narrated by the best narrators out there. William Dufris does an excellent job as always. All other narrators are equally notable. If you happen to also have Geraint Wyn Davies' narrations to compare, you will see that the narrator of Body Snatchers holds his own very well, which is no small feat with Geraint Wynn Davies. Great horror with equally great narration!! Superb Audio Quality, Interesting Stories I usually look for stories that can keep my interest but aren't so suspenseful that I can't fall asleep, and this fits the bill perfectly. The stories are told with dramatic flair and some spooky music, which I liked in this case. The stories are old-fashioned and somewhat victorian, very well-written and here, very well-spoken. Although the files are about 4 hours long each, at least they are broken into two seperate files. Not really what I expected What disappointed you about Classic Tales of Ghosts and Vampires? These pieces, during their respective periods, were probably "edge of your seat" reads. However they come across as a little dumbed down by today's standards. What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Not really anything to do with the authors, these were all brilliant authors of their time. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? The narrators on these did great jobs Boring and dated This is a review of Part I - it was so boring I didn't download Part II. The reader did a good job but these tales are so dated they just don't cut the mustard. Bram Stokers' was the best. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Can-Such-Things-Be-Audiobook/B005FGR77S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(SF Booklog) Members Reviews: Excellent narration of the classics I loved listening to Anthony Heald reading these wonderful old tales from Bierce. He was just perfect here! If you've read Bierce, you'll love the collection. If not, you'll love it all the more. He's the kind of author you wish you could read again for the first time because there's no one quite like him. As with Poe, many have attempted to imitate him, but all fail in the attempt. He remains his own twisted, unique self and I love him for it. May you enjoy this collection as much as I did. Sharp but filigreed prose defines the descriptive Sharp, yet filigreed, prose defines the descriptive excellence of Mr. Bierce's style. He begins with engaging narrative; he embellishes it carefully so that an atmosphere gradually emerges to encompass the narrative; he then uses pacing and punctuation to establish a tone; and all conspire to produce emotion in the reader. This is a highly recommended collection. No one talks like this anymore :-( Would you consider the audio edition of Can Such Things Be? to be better than the print version? I haven't had the pleasure of reading the print version. Although I may do so now. I was a little intimidated by the language. As no one speaks like this anymore; although that did add to the charm of it. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Once I figured out where everything was headed it was quite a suprise and very enjoyable. What does Anthony Heald bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I think he lends credence to the language. If I had just read this story, I would have been more compelled to stop and fixate on the language. As it's read you can't really fixate on the old fashioned verbage as much; which leaves you free to enjoy the story. If you could rename Can Such Things Be?, what would you call it? I don't think I would rename it. The name fits for more then one reason. I don't want to go into those as I think it would spoil the over all tone of the book. Any additional comments? This was quite interesting; I would be very interested in hearing more stories of this type. It's well worth getting. VERY captivating... Really had my attention the whole way through! Intelligent story telling to make your spine tingle! Not Bierce's strongest stories but wonderfully performed. Some of the tales here are still effective but many others haven't aged well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Haunting-of-Maple-Mansion-Audiobook/B071WCNZWD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Light Ghost Story Any additional comments? I love old fashioned ghost stories so I jumped at the chance to listen to The Haunting of Maple Mansion by Carrie Bates. The premise is not a bad one, with an unknown presence living in an old mansion that appears to little kids asking for money and spooks the adults until they leave the house after living there only a few months. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Lindsey Dorcus who did an admirable job. Lindsey had good pace and enunciated clearly. I just wish there was more inflection her voice. This short story runs at just over 1 hour, which is appropriate considering it read like an episode of the 1960's TV show "The Twilight Zone" or more recently, Ghost Hunters. If you enjoy those types of show, you will probably enjoy The Haunting of Maple Mansion. The Haunting of Maple Mansion review. Would you consider the audio edition of The Haunting of Maple Mansion to be better than the print version? I have to say about the same. What did you like best about this story? Everything. This is really a great story. Have you listened to any of Lindsey Dorcuss other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't. If you could take any character from The Haunting of Maple Mansion out to dinner, who would it be and why? Rebecca Jackson from the prologue. She's interesting. Any additional comments? I liked this.

Rodger and Savannah are travelling along the interstate when they enter a storm. This storm is weird though and they know they need to find shelter soon. As they look, they hit something, an animal of some sort. Savannah recognises it, but it can't be what she thinks, because they are extinct!! When the thing attacks her husband she kills it and drives to the first place she sees to get help, a diner. While in the diner, the people inside realise that Dinosaurs are roaming around and extremely weird things are happening. Just what is going on? This is a short listen and as such suffers a little with the character development and the plot. The plot is fast paced and entertaining but it just doesn't make much sense and really needs to be expanded upon. I felt like that if the book was a little longer, it would have been great! Same with the characters, I didn't connect with any of them nor did I really care what happened them. Saying that, it was still a fun listen. The action starts right from the get go and continues the whole way through. Its an intriguing idea and I would love to see another book!! The narrator did a good job with this. He portrayed the feelings and emotions really well and gave life to some of the characters. I will have to check out more by him. I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. Fun and just the right length You have to love a book about dinosaurs and bikers. The other reviews are spot on about the flashback and pace of the book. However, I would also recommend this book because it is fun, exciting, and just the right length. Some books have really great stories but drag on in sections that make the book look like an EKG with excitement and downtime. This book was fun but did not keep going and going just to fill in pages. The narrator has a great voice that adds to the story and seems to fit right into the story like it's 100% natural. This could very well be one of those books that gets a very loyal following. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review Short but fun ride! I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This was like Jurassic Park but on a much bigger scale (and much more gory). I really enjoyed it. I wish the dinopocalypse reason would have been explained, but that wasn't a big deal on this one. If you want a short, exciting listen, this would be a good choice. The story we all wanted to write as a child Its the story every little boy wanted to write as a child. Aliens have caused the end of the world as we know it, they have used dinosaurs to do it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/So-Cold-the-River-Audiobook/B0772WK11F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This Booktrack edition not for me For me, this production of Koryta's book distracts from the writing and narration rather than enhancing it. Sometimes you just don't know about the booktrack edition before ordering. The music and screeching sound effects (think trains, planes and automobiles) throughout the 9 chapters I listened to didn't work. One chapter was filled with crickets chirping! Additionally, the dialogue is less than I expect from this author. I'm returning the book because I can't get into the story. Koryta always tells a great one but I have to go Kindle on this one. Totally Different Genre But A Good Listen I have listened to a number of this authors other books and enjoyed them all. Bought this without realizing that this was very different. Wasnt sure it would be for me, but I enjoyed it. And the violin tune was haunting. Not going to change my genre preferences but a good listen nonetheless. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Great-Classic-Vampire-Stories-Audiobook/B0094OH27C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Like many story collections, this one is uneven. Fortunately, most of the stories are good and a few may be great. You'll find your own favorites. My three are "The Vampyre," "Carmilla," and "Count Magnus." For me, Polidori's "The Vampyre" is a particular treat. It was always fascinating to imagine details about Lord Ruthven and hearing the story read brought him to life. Almost. Le Fanu's "Carmilla" is a must-listen for any collector of supernatural tales. The female vampire embodies a particular combination of allure and horror. "Count Magnus" is my favorite M.R. James story, but I've never considered the eponymous character, though undead, to be a vampire. Still, whatever else he might be, he is unforgettable. Simon Vance's narration is well-suited to the old-fashioned tone and content of this collection. classic vampire tails at their best loved the variety of tales and variety of authors, much more interesting than modern vampire stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Summer-That-Melted-Everything-Audiobook/B01JB99LLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The premise of a story about a young boy who may or may not be Lucifer is an attractive one, however this piece of overblown American fantasy gothic is not the vehicle to convey it. I was perturbed on first hearing the narrator's gnarly old man hillbilly delivery but I stuck with this for a few boring chapters before finally throwing the towel in. I read that it gets better, but I simply don't have the willpower. interesting concept but not delivered on. book was slow and although interesting in parts overall pretty boring. struggled with it in case it got better, then I had listened to too much not to see it through, but it did not get better. I will remember bits but I would not recommend. Sad sad sad If you want to feel miserable listen to this book! Five stars because I needed to listen to the end. Left me feeling quite melancholy most days so I could wait for the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Gates-of-Byzantium-Audiobook/B00YN9TPVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Where the Purge ends, the Gates beckon... Members Reviews: The exciting continuation to the Babylon series What did you love best about The Gates of Byzantium? The first book in this series started a strong endeavor in world building, while never deviating from the importance of character development. Gates of Byzantium continued on the path of creating a complex, in-depth exploration into a brilliant conceptualization of a post-apocolypic zombie world. What other book might you compare The Gates of Byzantium to and why? I would hesitate to compare this book to others. Sam Sisavath has done a phenomenal job of creating an original story, and I believe he has succeeded to the degree of crafting a unique saga that, while comparable to elements of other books, is best considered in its own context. Which character as performed by Adam Danoff was your favorite? I was pleased with Adam's performance with all of the characters, and really could not single one out as a favorite. Who was the most memorable character of The Gates of Byzantium and why? As with character performance, I did not feel one character was more memorable than the rest-- each character contributes a unique facet to the overall story. Any additional comments? While there are a number of "zombie books" out there, I would highly recommend this series for its novel take upon the genre. You will find that the plot never dulls as you progress through the story arc, and while some events are predictable, each book will surprise you with a new twist. Another great novel from Sam.! The first novel Purge of Babylon really captured my imagination. All the res of the following series is just as captivating. I can see and feel the scenes. Sometimes you get a great story in the first book of the series and then it loses momentum. This isn't the case with the Purge of Babylon series. They are all equally exciting. Doesn't feel like some of the cookie cutter series I've seen. If you haven't yet read any of his novels download the preview and you'll be hooked like I was. GREAT STORY! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I have encourage co-workers to escape into this world that Sam has created. What did you like best about this story? the believability of the whole thing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/5-Levels-of-Fear-Audiobook/B077P7XYGT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The mansion, frankly, had escaped the notice of almost everyone and has little to no information available about it. Except for the blueprints. And, as it turns out, those aren't exactly truthful. One of the explorers, due to a fall in a past exploration, is now confined to a wheelchair and through body cams keeps track of the other two as they enter the house. Because they can't get in at ground level, they end up going in through the roof, which is not a preferred method of entrance. They find the place, at first, in pristine shape, complete with belongings from everyone who'd lived there, including two young lovers. But that deteriorates as they descend lower into the house. Then they find the floor that isn't on the blueprints, and the rows of beds with restraints, and a hallway that progressively narrows, always followed by the howl of someone who has been trapped in the building for a few weeks, or so they've been told. And not lastly they find the jungle growing up from the dank, dark, grave-like basement.

I dont know why I am always scaring myself with this horror novels....but I enjoy it. Intriguing, Thrilling & Spine Chilling!! If anyone is looking for a spine chilling & intriguing book - this is the one they need to read. The book and characters are extremely well written, so much so that I was able to create a picture of each one in my minds' eye. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story waiting for what would happen next. The author writes this story in such a way that it is so compelling that it captures your imagination and runs with it as thrills & chills are weaved throughout. Sahara Foley did an amazing job with this novella, my only complaint is that it was not long enough and left me wanting more. Lynn Roberts did an excellent job narrating this book. He has a pleasant voice which makes the book more interesting to me. I am unable to listen to a book if the narrators' voice is annoying, which is definitely not the case with Lynn Roberts. He has excellent pace and tone. He portrays the characters perfectly which assists the authors writing of the characters allowing you to picture each of them in your minds' eye. I definitely recommend this book if you want to be thrilled & scared!! This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com a few chills I had a few chills listening to this book. especially at the beginning, yikes! the narrator does ok but there is a couple spots where he gets a little monotone. the storyline is good and makes you wonder about any unknown critters that could be hiding and watching. I enjoyed the story just wished for a little more feeling from the narrator. wish I could do 4.5 stars. A creepy creature feature, the kind I love. "This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast." This has the feel of a classic creature feature that I love and it feeds my fear of basements. The creature is slightly elusive throughout the story and, myself being a monster fan, I would have liked if there had been more scenes with the creature because it was such a cool monster. I haven't researched the creature so I don't know if the author has created it or if it is based on actual folklore, but it was damn creepy. I wouldn't want to come face to face with one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Laws-of-Nature-Audiobook/B00UA0BJ64 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Laws of Nature Subtitle: A Collection of Short Stories of Horror, Anxiety, Tragedy and Loss Author: Ashley Franz Holzmann Narrator: Mr. Creepy Pasta Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-15 Publisher: As For Class Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: There is a dark side to human nature that can be neither wished away nor completely mitigated. Ashley Franz Holzmann details just several of these laws in his introduction to The Laws of Nature: A Collection of Short Stories of Horror, Anxiety, Tragedy and Loss before taking his readers on a journey through the bizarre, the terrifying, and, ultimately, the disturbingly real truths that underlie much of modern American life. Ashley makes his debut into the horror genre with "The Stump", a story about an afternoon trot through the woods that quickly becomes a bloodbath, and, much as it does for that story's monster, the scent of fear will only lure veteran horror readers further through the forest. A teenager's vanity will likely cause his town to be consumed by a roaming swarm of insects that burst forth from his acne-riddled skin in "White Heads"; entire populations vanish into the void of the Alaskan tundra in "Glass Houses"; and superiority takes the form of a murdering, sadistic woman in "Lady Macbeth". But Ashley's best retellings focus less on gore and adrenaline and instead take human psychology as their medium, as demonstrated in "Plastic Glasses", where readers are brought into a world of disturbing personality and mental disorders. Ashley's work abounds with stories in this vein, stories that grab a hold of a common failing, such as marital friction in "Hush" or American male frustration in "Orpheus's Lot", and take it to an extreme that is nevertheless not inconceivable for most people. Coming from the mind of a man who has experienced more than his fair share of humanity, The Laws of Nature is, at its finest, a description of universal emotions of loss, nostalgia, anxiety, and soul-penetrating terror. Ashley's stories elicit empathy from his readers and draw them into worlds where they both acknowledge and cuddle with their fears and that leave them, ultimately, more human. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ashley Franz Holzmann) Fri, 06 Mar 2015 00:37:04 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Laws-of-Nature-Audiobook/B00UA0BJ64 thebookvoice.com 03:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book! Stories weren't that bad but some of them didn't seem scary. MrCreepyPasta was a good choice to narrate the stories. I could listen to this guy tell stories all day. If you haven't heard him on YouTube, I advise you check him out Mr. Creepy Pasta is an amazing voice for horror This is a novel of short stories of horror, mental illness, trauma and more. A few of these stories are very unbelievable - The Stump especially but it is more of a horror story. The rest of them are more believable and very creepy. One story that really got to me was Clarissa, the story is set out as an "writer" recording his story about meeting a killer named Clarissa and how she went about killing her victims. The narrator does a great job pulling the listening into this story, making you fell like he is speaking to you. At the end of it the "writer" ask how is your writing going Jennifer and a few other questions. Because I am a Jennifer and was totally engrossed into this story I was totally thrown off and freaked out. It was likely my favourite story. I also enjoyed the one about a truck driver explaining about how he drives truck and the safety that he has to deal with all the time, the other drivers out on the road and accidents. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Tell-Tale-Heart-Audiobook/B002V1LJ42 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A must read to all who want to see foundational works of horror and suspense. A classic I might have missed I had to read this for a univerity class and I'm so glad I did. I read mostly contemporary literature and am afraid I've walked by many a dusty Poe on the library shelves. Shame on me. What a great writer. The Tell Tale Heart (And The Black Cat, etc.) will be with me for a long time. May they remind me of consequences and conscience. May I think before I act and may I be reminded that a mis-step will stay with me for the rest of my life. Five Stars Always a fave! Not the entire story Short version to this classic, like 3 pgs, disappointed. Five Stars Great book to have in my library.

Title: The Lesser Dead Author: Christopher Buehlman Narrator: Christopher Buehlman Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 175 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his genre-bending novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet. The secret is, vampires are real and I am one. The secret is, I'm stealing from you what is most truly yours and I'm not sorry. New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live - and die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody - he has spent the last 40 years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city's sidewalks. The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It's almost too easy. Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like himor not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were. And neither are the rest of us. Critic Reviews: "As much F.

Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz." ( New York Times best-selling author Patricia Briggs) Members Reviews: NICE GUYS NEARLY ALWAYS FINISH LAST TWENTY YEARS GO BY FAST WHEN YOUR DEAD The high rating, vampires and the mention of sex, drew me to this book. It started out great. I grew up in the 70's and fashion wise it was a strange period. I wore tighter than tight clothes, polyester, platform shoes (they were burnt orange and brown), bell bottoms and lots of pastels. The county was still reeling from going from conservative sexual values to free love. I went to the theatre seven times to see Saturday Night Fever. Of course their was Star Wars and Disco. So, a lot of this was like a class reunion for me. If your not from that time period, I got to wonder how much you will get out of this. No Plot, short stories, boring I was mainly hoping for something on the wrong side of the tracks of acceptable. The overblown reviews had me believing that was what I was to expect. I should have known when the author starts out by telling us how dark the book was that I was in for boring. A good looking girl does not have to tell you she is good looking, you know. A scary off the wall type book does not have to announce it. First two hours were great, but the story had no plot, was not scary (with the exception of the children Vampires) and seemed like a bunch of short stories. Hard core horror fans should skip this. It will give you great nightmares! Any additional comments? This is another "killer" story by Christopher Buehlman! As has been his pattern so far, it is very different in flavor, though not in frights, from his past work. With Christopher Buehlman himself voicing the story, he pulls the reader into an underground view of New York City in the 1970s, bringing his characters to life with a flawless performance. The time period influences the characters, even if they themselves are not a part of that particular era. There are no "heroes" here, just the voice of a teen monster who is older than he seems. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-End-of-Summer-Audiobook/B00J8KWIC6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you listen to The End of Summer again? Why? Yes! It was a wonderful, spooky read! What did you like best about this story? Seriously creepy. The stories stayed with me for several days...and nights. What makes this book particularly creepy is that most of the scares are based on human nature and the problems we can create for ourselves and others. This book is very well written and the characters are real and complex. What does Jay B. Scott bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It makes it feel like you are being told a story around a campfire. Who was the most memorable character of The End of Summer and why? The Halloween Girl of Coldsprings. So, so creepy! Any additional comments? Again, this is an amazing read. It's Halloween for kids and adults. Not gory or violent, just very insightful and very effective at giving the reader nightmares! good not great Any additional comments? ok the main thing id like to say is that the reader sounded like he'd been reading out loud all day, and this was his last book before he got to go home. he sounded careful, as to not mess up but not enthusiastic. you'll understand once you hear him. so I cant fairly rate the stories, I feel the reading takes away from them and they might be better than I think. with that being said, his voice isn't annoying, just blah, and the stories do make you feel very Halloweenie. so don't expect a great work of literature, but it is a fun read, like a young adults quality book. I would have enjoyed it more If it weren't for all the cursing. It adds nothing to a story and gets old. Lukewarm Stories What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Generally better stories. This wasn't a terrible series and some of these stories really did stand out. In particular the story about the uncle who visits his nephews and niece every year, the young man who confesses feelings for the girl he works with, the Halloween Girl, and the one about the old farmer who allows some salesmen to make his land into a haunted ride every year. It's also not too difficult to get attached to the characters even in the subpar stories. However, most of the 'horror' stories were very repetitive. The same theme again and again of someone being haunted by a person they'd murdered in the near or distant past. There were even a few times when I found myself just being annoyed with the direction the author took his story in. For example, with the young man who finally confesses his love (no spoilers on how the girl reacts), the author randomly throws into the story a masked psycho coming into the store and stealing a knife. But it never plays out in any way, shape, or form. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Blockade-Billy-Audiobook/B003K20KBO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Even the most die-hard baseball fans don't know the true story of William Blockade Billy Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first - and only - player to have his existence completely removed from the record books. Even his team is long forgotten, barely a footnote in the game's history. Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse... and only Stephen King, the most gifted storyteller of our age, can reveal the truth to the world, once and for all. Critic Reviews: "Blockade Billy works as well as it does for a couple of reasons. The first is the narrative voice that King has conjured up for Granny Grantham. Funny, sharply observant and casually profane, it is the voice of a quintessential baseball insider who happens to be a natural raconteur. Equally important is the lovingly detailed evocation of the game as it was played in 1957King's descriptions of these tough, hard-bitten men and the hardscrabble contests they engaged in add both a dash of nostalgia and a touch of gritty reality to this dark, absorbing portrait of a vanished era." (The Washington Post) "As King's fiction goes, this suspenseful short is a deftly executed suicide squeeze, with sharp spikes hoisted high and aimed at the jugular on the slide home."

Equally important is the lovingly detailed evocation of the game as it was played in 1957King's descriptions of these tough, hard-bitten men and the hardscrabble contests they engaged in add both a dash of nostalgia and a touch of gritty reality to this dark, absorbing portrait of a vanished era." (The Washington Post) "As King's fiction goes, this suspenseful short is a deftly executed suicide squeeze, with sharp spikes hoisted high and aimed at the jugular on the slide home." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Didn't want it to end What did you love best about Blockade Billy? Baseball - it is a baseball book, from the "old school" type baseball books. S. King is sooooo good, with descriptions, it is easy to get a visual picture in your head of the setting / time frame, etc. What other book might you compare Blockade Billy to and why? "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was my first thought - regarding a comparison. However Blockade Billy is really too short to compare, I wanted more! I thought it was too long to be a magazine article ( and too long to be considered a short story) and too short for a book. But I did like it. Have you listened to any of Craig Wassons other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my first. I thought Craig Wasson's performance was very good. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I wanted to listen to this while doing my training run. Either I've too slow, or the book was too short, because it ended before the run :( Any additional comments? This is not classic S. King - it is different for him. I'm somewhat of a S. King fanatic. He is the ultimate story teller! Not one, but two great short stories I had put this book off for some time because I am not a huge baseball fan. I thought the the baseball part of story would annoy me. To my delight, it did not. On the contrary, it was the perfect backdrop for the creepiness that King is so good at. As a bonus, this audiobook includes a second short story entitled "Morality." It's a great, troubling little story that bothered me terribly while listening to it. Of course, that made it so great. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Little-Girls-Audiobook/B00ZSQMZXG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Little Girls Author: Ronald Malfi Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-30-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 221 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: From Bram Stoker Award nominee Ronald Malfi comes a brilliantly chilling novel of childhood revisited, memories resurrected, and fears reborn. When Laurie was a little girl, she was forbidden to enter the room at the top of the stairs. It was one of many rules imposed by her cold, distant father. Now, in a final act of desperation, her father has exorcised his demons. But when Laurie returns to claim the estate with her husband and 10-year-old daughter, it's as if the past refuses to die. She feels it lurking in the broken moldings, sees it staring from an empty picture frame, hears it laughing in the moldy greenhouse deep in the woods. At first Laurie thinks she's imagining things. But when she meets her daughter's new playmate, Abigail, she can't help but notice her uncanny resemblance to another little girl who used to live next door...who died next door. With each passing day, Laurie's uneasiness grows stronger, her thoughts more disturbing. Like her father, is she slowly losing her mind? Or is something truly unspeakable happening to those sweet little girls? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ronald Malfi) Tue, 30 Jun 2015 01:30:22 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Little-Girls-Audiobook/B00ZSQMZXG thebookvoice.com 12:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It crept up, got under my skin and squirmed around. very good characters. very good story. the reader was a perfect match for the material. I will certainly listen to it again some day, and I will keep my eye peeled for other Ronald Malfi titles. Long This was a good scary story but I was a bit long. A few times I got lost in the story not quite able to follow it but It was brought back and all came together in the end. Sometimes thing do come back. Disappointing I found this story boring. The main character was whiny and it ends strangely. Not a fan. Different kind of story for me I'm not sure how to rate this. The story was well-written and very intriguing, but I didn't care for the ending - and that's just me. Without revealing anything, I understood the ending, but I wanted more. The narrator was good, so it was easy to listen to. Little Girls...Big Flop What disappointed you about Little Girls? The story line started off good and had great potential. Towards the middle it started to drone on and on and then at the end, it flopped completely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Vittorio-the-Vampire-Audiobook/B002UZHVZU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The entire time my mind wondered at what was missing. Were the characters better developed, was there more written on the world, did the plotlines go deeper??? I didn't know! This is an abridged recording, adequate for its purpose, but if you are like me, you will not like this sound-byte version of the story. Other than that, the story is sound and it is an alluring tale. I considered this a three hour commercial for the real thing! what? why so short? was this book an afterthought? I feel left hanging... it's as though Anne Rice started this but never got around to the storytelling... Strange, beautiful, sad. Intriguing performance by Cumming. Conflicted characters find love but at a high price. Everyone struggles with their own Angels and Demons, so it's relatable. While endings often disappoint, this held bittersweet resolution that leaves you reflective. As horrible as trying to sit down and read it I bought this book in paper back and couldn't get through it. I don't know why I thought an audio book would be different. It was just as bad. I like gay porn, I however, do not like to read an entire book that is seemingly based on it. It's really geared for readers who like nothing more than to sit down to Anne Rice's slow writing style and hear about gay relationships. Oh, how it drags and drags. Don't waste your credit the intro is better than the entire book. I'd give it no stars if I could. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Loon-Audiobook/B00HJAYHYE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Deep and Horrifying What made the experience of listening to The Loon the most enjoyable? I enjoyed the narration and thought the performance was well done. Engrossing story. What other book might you compare The Loon to and why? I've read Collings' "Darkbound" and first three installments of "The Colony" series. While there was still a speculative element in "The Loon," the horror in this particular story was more real-world than fantastic. I'm not sure I've read/listened to anything else quite like this before. Which character as performed by John Bell was your favorite? The Monster passages had cool effects and were my favorite to listen to. Paul, Rachel, and Becky were the characters whose points of view I craved most to return to. Steiger was also extremely creepy and well done. There were a variety of accents that came through in various minor characters that I thought were well done. Narrator did a good job making the unlikable characters unlikable, and the likable characters sympathetic with tone of voice, accents, and other effects. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I found this book very intense and enjoyed it much better when I digested it in small doses, listening a few hours at a time. Yet, it was extremely engrossing. Enjoy being driven insane THE LOON is just another shining example of why Michaelbrent Collings is one of my favorite writers working today. I have to state up front that I have a soft spot for stories about mental institutions. But even given that, this book instantly sucked me in and kept me along for the ride. I listen to audibooks in the car on the way to and from work and kept finding myself sitting in the parking lot for ten minutes after I'd parked just because I didn't want to pause the book. The voice over actor's voice got to me initially, which would be my only negative criticism. He had a strong voice but felt more like a commercial announcer at times than an audiobook reader. However, I quickly found that setting the Audible app to 1.25 speed corrected any issues I was having. I highly recommend playing around with the speed function on the app, not just for this book but any book you may be listening to. I usually find that most readers are a tad on the slow side for me anyway and so this function is a godsend. The only bad thing about the book is that it ends. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dog-Blood-Audiobook/B003OYDQ1Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was genuinely sad when the book ended because I wouldn't have the fun of reading it anymore. I have never come across a story quite like this before. It is strange and frightening exciting and sad and amazing and impossible to stop listening to... In case he reads these reviews - David Moody, I beg you to write a third book in the series. Less boring, but many plot and story issues If you read my review of 'Haters' you're probably wondering why did I buy the 2nd book in the trilogy. Well I bought both books at the same time, strictly based on the OVERLY!!! high reviews of it. Well since I bought it I thought I might as well listen to it. Although this book had a lot more action than the first, and it was nice not to have to listen to the mundane day to day goings on of a BORING, WHINING, British family, I thought there were way to many holes in the plot, and the story went from boring to unbelievable. Now I know this story does not take place in the United States so I don't expect an armed populace like lets say Arizona, HOWEVER!!! come on, you would have figured they would have armed the remaining "unchanged", and conscripted them into the military. The tactics that were used against the 'Haters' were pathetic. For the most part the vast majority of 'Haters' could not control they're rage, so why not go out into the countryside with heavy armor like tanks and apcs. 'Haters' were basically fighting with their hands and/or crude melee weapons which are no match for even light armor vehicles mounted with a 50 cal. A brigade of Bradleys(US apcs) could wipe out tens of thousands of Haters. Not to mention why not the use of chemical or biological weapons. Why nuke a city when you can just as easily gas it and still have the infrastructure intact afterwards. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Amnesia-Audiobook/B078NZ97WL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For the past seven years, John Avery has been combing the wilderness for any sign of his missing girlfriend, who set out upon the ski trip of a lifetime and was never seen again. Regions utterly isolated by geography and time. The discovery of a video camera prompts Sheriff Wayne Dayton to dispatch a search party into one of the most remote areas of the Rockies in hopes of learning her fate. Where few species can survive. When a freak blizzard strikes, they find themselves wandering blindly into the killing grounds of a predator they can't even see. Members Reviews: Heart pounding!!! Awesome follow up book. Had same fast paced heart stopping pace. Highly recommend. My sole complaint is the length/cost ratio. Perhaps Mr. McBride could combine his roughly 3 hour + books into 6-7 hour book and raise price accordingly to where I feel like I'm getting full book for my credit. Wishful thinking. Enjoy! So good again! Well animal loves beware. This picks up seven years from Snow Blind. You should read it before you start this. This is an excellent follow up to the first book. McBride's builds up the tension and does not release you. There is the platable tension of being hunted by the unknown; the shock of the realization, that what you see is incomprehensible; the despair of your choices of the past 7 years; and the all to human need to give your life to save others. McBride delivers all of that and ... It is scare the bejesus out of you. good supernatural story good book, enjoyed the supernatural aspect. this is the second book in this story and it's worth reading both. audio book gifted for a honest review Exciting, Suspenseful and a Little Short What did you like best about Snowblind II? What did you like least? I really enjoyed the first story and liked this one too. They are both good entertainment. This book had some similar elements and I was a bit concerned that the author would spend a lot of time rehashing some of the drama; but this has its own story. The two stories should be combined in some way because of the overall length. Would you recommend Snowblind II to your friends? Why or why not? If someone were to ask me to recommend a horror or suspense story, I might. What about Gary Tiedemanns performance did you like? He did a good job adding some intensity, although he sounded a little over the top at times. Could you see Snowblind II being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Sure, this would be great if it starred Sammy Davis Jr. and Lou Ferrigno. I kid... I have no idea. Happily surprised I love all thing horror and I wanted to listen to big foot horror. After trying several, I found these books. I was pleasantly surprised. Not gory like I am used to but enough to keep you enthralled. Great pace and interesting story line. I will get the 3rd if one comes out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Queen-of-the-Damned-Audiobook/B002UUG0K2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Poor recording quality makes this a poor choice I have been an Audible subscriber for over a year now, and this is by far the worst sounding book I have purchased to date. Even downloading it at quality 4, it is distorted with static and tinny. I wish that I had listened to the sample before purchasing this book as the quality greatly effects the emersion of one in the story. Best of the series If you could sum up The Queen of the Damned in three words, what would they be? Best in series What was one of the most memorable moments of The Queen of the Damned? When the queen confronted the mountain top vampire in India Have you listened to any of Kate Nelligans other performances before? How does this one compare? n/a Who was the most memorable character of The Queen of the Damned and why? The queen herself because as evil as she was, you could understand her thoughts and reasoning. Any additional comments? I know the die-hard Ann Rice fans, at the time of this book's release, hated it, but I thought she'd topped herself. Great book, poor audio quality I love this book. In fact it's one of my favorites of the series. However, the recording quality is terrible. It has a lot of static and distortion and is hard to hear escpecially when the violins are playing. Audio Quality.....BAD I read this book a long time ago and was looking forward to revisiting the audio version. The sound quality is TERRIBLE. I have never had an issue with any audiobooks and have always been VERY happy but this was the pits.....there is a background buzz and it sounds like it was recorded in a cave. I did not care for the abridged version as it jumps and seems broken. I couldn't even make it through the first hour it was so bad. Beautiful but hard to follow As a long time fan of Anne Rice and her Vampire books, I delved quickly into Queen of the Damned. While I enjoyed the story, I found it at times very difficult to follow. The ABRIDGED recording seemed to jump at innoportune places and left me wondering what I had missed. Those seeking more insight into the lives of certain vampires, such as Pandora, Louis or Maruis, will find that there place has largely been cut from the story. Fans may want to wait for an unabridged recording to come out. Or read the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sweetheart-Sweetheart-Audiobook/B01M71YVXC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Sweetheart, Sweetheart Any additional comments? Sweetheart, Sweetheart is a ghost story between twin brothers that takes place in the English countryside. Familial resentments along with a few sudden deaths compels David to investigate further. I found this tale to be interesting but not as spooky or compelling as I like my ghost stories to be. It was a nice listen but it didnt really have that ghost story feel to it, it wasnt as creepy as I prefer it. Id say more than half of the ghostly encounters are of the sexual variety and I need a lot more scares before I can buy into that kind of haunting. Outside of the ghost stuff, its an interesting story about two couples, one alive and one dead, and their struggles to get along and get by. I would recommend the book to people who are interested in a story about brothers, rather than a ghost story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. The best horror novel I ever heard! If you could sum up Sweetheart, Sweetheart in three words, what would they be? Dark creepy epic What other book might you compare Sweetheart, Sweetheart to and why? It is like Poe on steroids, it has every aspect of horror done perfectly - unreliable narrator, tragic back story, building terror and fright, everything. What does Matt Godfrey bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? This was the best book narration I ever heard, it was like a movie in my mind. There wasn't a flaw in the inner life of David Warwick as narrated by Matt Godfrey. His acting skills are way beyond ordinary narration, he made every aspect of this creepy story come alive. If I could have given his performance more than five stars I would have. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did, but on the other hand I wanted it to never end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Fog-Audiobook/B00EQCGEMG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Fog Author: James Herbert Narrator: Sean Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind it a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled; for wherever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. The fog, quite simple, drives people insane. Editorial Reviews: Perhaps his best book, The Fog is James Herbert's terrifying thriller where contact with a mysterious fog turns the most innocent of people into homicidal maniacs. Given an extra dose of tension from the sly and gravelly voice of veteran narrator Sean Barrett, the poor folks in little Wiltshire don't stand a chance. The menacing and uncontrollable fog takes over, leaving the town of Wiltshire devastated and on the hunt for more victims. James Herbert is at his prime here and when paired with the dramatic performance from Sean Barrett, The Fog is an audiobook not to be missed. Critic Reviews: "Herbert was by no means literary, but his work had a raw urgency. His best novels, The Rats and The Fog, had the effect of Mike Tyson in his championship days: no finesse, all crude power. Those books were best sellers because many readers (including me) were too horrified to put them down." (Stephen King) "There are few things I would like to do less than lie under a cloudy night sky while someone read aloud the more vivid passages of Moon. In the thriller genre, do recommendations come any higher?" (Andrew Postman, The New York Times Book Review) "Herbert goes out in a blaze of glory."

Another brilliant tale on chem wafare! I found this brilliant tale to be very unique in how the plot was constructed. Old School Horror I read this over 30 years ago and wanted to revisit it. It is what it is...a James Herbert horror book. He has some good character details, but his strength is the big picture description of horror. His action sequences are usually over the top violent. They are gory. Like most horror books he tries to shine a light on the darker aspects of life....how twisted humans can be and just what little it takes for us to show our dark sides. I just enjoy the ride of a graphic horror book from time to time. Sean Barrett is great. He brings the insanity to life. He doesnt overdue the dialect. Loved this audiobook. Sean Barrett is amazing Loved this audiobook. Sean Barrett is amazing to listen to. started off slow but got crazy really quick. I liked this a lot better when I was 20 Thirty-five years later I've been revisiting James Herbert's books and now feel that most of them are between 100 and 200 pages too long. not bad but a bit dated This was written in 1975, it was a bit like watching an old movie, somewhat patronizing towards women, all about the men and their misadventures with science. An event happens and we follow multiple characters as it affects them. I did not come to care about any of them but their stories held my interest. There was no swearing I remember but some gratuitous sex which did not add to the story. The reader did a good job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/40-Blood-Dripping-Tales-of-Terror-Audiobook/B073K3LC4G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I read first five stories of this book as part of the assaignment. But later this book made me to read remaining stories. 'EAT YOUR VEGETABLES' short story had good suspense in the end, it will make us to stick to the story. 'COLLATERAL DAMAGE' is a good short story which reveals suspense between breakup of a couple and how the girl misunderstood the guy's message. Short stories in this book make us to imagine the authors idea. 'A BEE' is a wonderful story of a girl who is surrounded by bees whenever she comes out. I strongly reccommend this book who loves to read short stories.

Reviewed by Jennifer 3 1/2 Stars I loved every one of the stories by the three gifted ... Iâve read all three. I loved every one of the stories by the three gifted authors. A quote from Vlad Vaslynâs 'Toon Time' is a good example of what you can expect from Insanity Tales III. "He was reaching out with his mind, gliding through that misty border between sleep and dreams where imagination embraced all, the good and the bad, the light and the darknessâ." I think, thatâs a place where all three authors attempt to take the reader. The best Insanity Tales yet The best Insanity Tales yet! The crew has upped their game with Seasons of Shadow.

Members Reviews: Best Narration Ever The reader is one of the best Ive heard. She can do any voice, never sounds fake, strained or over the top. The stories were enjoyable but the overall experience was first-rate because of the narrarator. This is worth a listen because of the quality of the stories and the narrarator. Very enjoyable I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I wasn't wowed by anything, but I have no complaints. It's definitely worth the price or a credit. Robotic reading The narrator sounds like a robot, I honestly thought that it was a computer reading this book. And the stories, just boring, I couldn't even finish this book. Just Awful. Extremely disapointed... I took a chance on this based on the many rave reviews of how "chilling" and "scary" these stories were... now I wish I hadn't. Not one of the stories even remotely thrilled me. Maybe its just me, maybe I'm expecting too much. But I am so tired of searching for horror books that do little or nothing to satisfy that desire to be haunted. It's very hard to find something that truly gives me chills, but I keep on hoping that my next listen will be the one. This, however, was not it. Most of the stories were boring, and some didn't even seem to have any connection to dolls. I found myself speeding through most of them just to get to the ends. The narrator was okay, nothing special, definitely didn't add a creep factor. Everyone's tastes are different, so nothing against those of you who enjoyed the book, but for me, it just wasn't even close to what I was looking for. Worth a listen, but don't expect goosebumps. Any additional comments? Seventeen varied stories with a creepy doll theme. But don't expect Chucky. **Review will appear in July edition of SQ Magazine** https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-First-Bird-Episode-3-Audiobook/B00DUFYXZA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dissapointing ending to a good story. After listening to the first two episodes, which take place in the Amazon jungle, the last installation of "The First Bird" was disappointing. The actions of the female characters seem designed to frustrate. You can expect a certain amount of that in any action fiction, but these characters go from surviving a jungle hellbent on eating them to a modern urban outbreak situation in which a ranking CDC doctor can't seem to get past the idea that invisible things can kill you-REALLY?!?! Come on. If you didn't feel up to writing that third installment, maybe you should have gotten someone else, don't torpedo the whole thing. I was ready to check out this author's other works until this third episode, its really that bad. My advice would be to read the first two, and then just pretend they all lived happily ever after. The closure you are looking for won't be found here. I wouldn't start book 1 knowing how bad 3 is... This warning is probably too late but... if you haven't yet started this series (it was released in 3 parts), DON'T!!! Save your time and money. Episode one was the only installment even worth the paper it was printed on - and its plot just stopped mid-scene. Book two was full of abnormally (and inconsistently) behaving characters and had a distinct Jurassic Park feel to it. This book - Episode 3 - is bad. Plain and simple. The biggest issue with Episode 3 is that the characters do not behave normally, at all. For example: they are told, specifically and directly, that if they do X, then people will die... so, what happens?? they go ahead and DO X. Then (yes, seriously) in the NEXT scene, after two people died from their first stupid ignoring of instructions, they DO IT AGAIN.... and guess what... more people die!!! wow... what a surprise... If you have the only potential cure for humankind, are you going to go wading through hordes of infected, 30 minutes after you just lost two of your party to the infected? No... I didn't think so... That, and the 'bad guy' (added to the story at the last minute) was ridiculous and gave the book the same feel as some very trashy low-brow zombie novels out there. Anything redeeming in this book??? hmmm... the epilogue... was probably the only part worth reading after the first half of the first episode. And no, I am not exaggerating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Trench-Audiobook/B071GLLNZL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Really good book that is set up for a sequel. Through me off because I thought this is about Zombies, but it is not. It is a very good book that is suspenseful. Would recommend. Great. Short. Ride/Read. Can' t wait to see what's next. I would recommend this title to anyone's library. Perfect for a warm night by the fire, any where away from any trench. Excellent B-movie horror with A-list writing The Trench is a horror sci-fi novel in the vein of DEEP BLUE SEA where scientists at an underwater research facility have done things against God and created monsters. Except, well, the heroes are scientists so it's a bit more complicated. The Trench doesn't attempt to tell the great American novel and is content to just be a B-horror movie with all the scares that entails. Michael Armitage and his fellow scientist Nicole Saint Claire have a drunken one-night stand before both are drafted by the US Navy to visit an underwater laboratory where Michael's ex-wife (except not so ex) is working. They've been working on IMMORTALITY with SCIENCE and have resulted in a bunch of evil jellyfish people. There's a bunch of Marines with orders to contain the experiment at all costs and that's really all you need to know about the plot. I liked the protagonists, their relationships, and the fact all of them were doing their best to survive with temptations to either help or throw under the bus their fellows in order to get out of their situation. The ending is also extremely well done and genuinely horrifying. 9/10 Nature gone amuck taleâ Rarely do I read a book (in this case a novella; an even rarer event for me) without any reviews having been posted. This bookâs premise peaked my interest so I gave it a try. Itâs fairly well written, moves at a fast pace with short chapters ending with you wanting to continue reading. I found the characters one dimensional and the plot short on details. Thereâs abundant action and suspense but the ending is abrupt and a jaw dropper. Itâs not that I didnât enjoy it but I was hoping for more depth. Thrilling I found this to be a really exciting thriller. I've always been pretty interested in submarine technology and the writer does a great job setting his story in that world. The action is fierce and the dialogue seems very well written. I look forward to reading more of this author's work in the future! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Murders-in-the-Rue-Morgue-Other-Stories-Audiobook/B002VA3LKS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hands down, the best narration of "The Raven" I have listened to numerous narrations of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," and strongly feel that David Case's version in this collection outshines all the others by a wide margin. In my humble opinion, nothing compares to this particular narration of "The Raven;" Case somehow manages to capture the true essence of the poem and its narrator so that his reading of it speaks to me in a way unlike any other version I have ever listened to. His rendition of the other stories are also highly recommended. I suggest that if you have not heard his version of "The Raven," don't wait, and check it out today! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Woman-in-Black-Angel-of-Death-Movie-Tie-in-Edition-Audiobook/B00Q5K987K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Three nights of terror at the house called Edbrook. Three nights in which David Ash, there to investigate a haunting, will be victim of horrifying games. Three nights in which he will face the blood-chilling enigma of his own past. Three hideous nights before Edbrook's dreadful secret will be revealed...And the true nightmare will begin.to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he once had been. James Herbert was one of Britains greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages. Born in London in the forties, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant bestseller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction. Herbert went on to publish a new top ten best-seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more bestselling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall. Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69. Editorial Reviews: A wildly popular master of suspense throughout the 1980s, James Herberts fast-paced, high-urgency storytelling has found new life in the audiobook format, where his pause-resistors have staked their place for posterity. The action-packed immediacy of his work lends itself well to vocal interpretation, and fervent English actor Steven Pacey (Blakes 7, Distant Shores) proves it with his crisp, quick-clipped conveyance of Haunted, in which Herbert introduces dogged reporter David Ash. When Ash investigates claims of paranormal activity at an aged rural estate, he suddenly finds himself trapped inside the haunted house, chased by nightmarish ghosts from his past. With riveting psychological suspense that recalls such greats as Agatha Christie and Stephen King, Haunted weaves elements of horror, mystery, and fantasy to spine-chilling effect. Critic Reviews: Herbert was by no means literary, but his work had a raw urgency. His best novels, The Rats and The Fog, had the effect of Mike Tyson in his championship days: no finesse, all crude power. Those books were best sellers because many readers (including me) were too horrified to put them down. (Stephen King) There are few things I would like to do less than lie under a cloudy night sky while someone read aloud the more vivid passages of Moon. In the thriller genre, do recommendations come any higher?

Title: Haunted Subtitle: David Ash Series, Book 1 Author: James Herbert Narrator: Steven Pacey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: A ghostly twist. Three nights of terror at the house called Edbrook. Three nights in which David Ash, there to investigate a haunting, will be victim of horrifying games. Three nights in which he will face the blood-chilling enigma of his own past. Three hideous nights before Edbrook's dreadful secret will be revealed...And the true nightmare will begin.to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he once had been. James Herbert was one of Britains greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages. Born in London in the forties, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant bestseller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction. Herbert went on to publish a new top ten best-seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more bestselling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall. Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69. Editorial Reviews: A wildly popular master of suspense throughout the 1980s, James Herberts fast-paced, high-urgency storytelling has found new life in the audiobook format, where his pause-resistors have staked their place for posterity. The action-packed immediacy of his work lends itself well to vocal interpretation, and fervent English actor Steven Pacey (Blakes 7, Distant Shores) proves it with his crisp, quick-clipped conveyance of Haunted, in which Herbert introduces dogged reporter David Ash. When Ash investigates claims of paranormal activity at an aged rural estate, he suddenly finds himself trapped inside the haunted house, chased by nightmarish ghosts from his past.

(Andrew Postman, The New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: Wait For It-----Wait For It While listening, I thought two things, it must have been written in the 70's and that it was written for a movie. It was actually published in 1988 and it did start out as a script. The book has a sort of Ira Levine feel do it. Most of the scary happens toward the end and by today's scary, gory books, it is not that scary. It does build to a pretty good climax and from chapter 23 on it really gets good. At first I thought the main character a little silly, since he did not believe in the supernatural, but did believe in the paranormal and telepathy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Watcher-in-the-Shadows-Audiobook/B00D3073SQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: young adult love and fantasy, written by a master of language and metaphor. I think if I was under 20, say, this would be a most beloved book. It feeds the yearning and dreaming of youth,and carries the shadow of truth and harsh reality of evils that await even the most innocent among us. Like all great love stories, it has a sad undertone. The passion of jealousy and hatred is so powerful here. Of course it is all about all of us.the setting is just prior to WWII . The comparison is evident and compelling. Riveting! A challenge to escape... Having read other books by CRZ, I recognize that he is a master story-teller. This is a book of layers; with stories within stories all of which come together to create a horrific and fantastic Faustian tale of the dangers of sacrificing longing for love. CRZ considers this to be a story he would have liked to read as a child, although I do not feel it is a book for children and could be quite terrifying to younger children. Young Adult audiences at least are able to separate fiction from reality, and comprehend metaphor and allusion. The characters are engaging if only moderately developed, but overall thoroughly likable. Fabulous author! Excellent book...not his very best but excellent nevertheless. Zafon has a new book out now in Spanish with the translation in English due out in 2018. written as one of his 'youth' novels is - as with "Marina" - brilliantly set, with a dose of the surreal or ... I am a huge fan of all Zafon's novels and this, written as one of his 'youth' novels is - as with "Marina" - brilliantly set, with a dose of the surreal or gothic feel of all his novels. You won't put it down until you've reached the last page!! It was a good book for that level I read this book because I am a fan of Zafon and wanted to experience his early work at the young adult level. It was a good book for that level, with action and good character development for that age. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Merrick-Audiobook/B002UUKJWW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale - a tale that takes us from the New Orleans of the past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Mayan ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored. Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world and the vampires' world, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.

His refined British tone - with the slightest trace of a classic Transylvanian accent - fits Talbot's character perfectly, and he flavors the narrative with verve and mystery accordingly."

It is book three in a series, but it is not necessary to have read the other two books. It is interesting to see who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. The book does involve rape, torture and incest. It was entertaining throughout and appealed to my sophomoric intellect. If your a Jack Ketchum fan, you need to add this to your collection. Sex! Violence! Incest! S&M! Abuse! Sexploitation! This is a unique and deeply disturbing book about the consequences of messing with mother nature and all of her wonderful children. There's a very important lesson to be learned from this insightful book. It's like the movie "Falling Down" set deep in the forest, with a female protagonist who uses her other attributes to achieve her goal of getting back at a world that's beaten her down. Although disturbing, I enjoyed it greatly and was happier for having read it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dark-County-Audiobook/B01B1WL7KM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not a bad first collection Sophomore author Kit Tinsley here presents ten short stories that are themed by their shared setting near his hometown in the English countryside. It's a quality basis on which to form a collection, and certainly falls within the scope of the old adage to write about what you know. The stories vary in terms of their sub-genre so everything from the classical ghost story through to crazy madmen can be found. I enjoyed some far more than others - even if that is to be expected in a short story collection - with HOODIES, THE HOUSE BY THE MARSH and FEAR THY NEIGHBOUR being my favourites. Others were a bit too predictable with my horror-saturated mind picking up what was going to happen fairly early in each tale. One definite exception to this is WHAT GROWS IN THE FAR FIELD, which was so off the wall when compared to the other shorts in Dark County that I found myself nodding appreciatively. Through the tales, Tinsley moulds the county of Lincolnshire into a presence that hovers like a spectre over proceedings. But too many of the stories seem to lack the visceral punch that would have really hammered home the horror of what he revealed. Nowhere is this more evident than in the way his final tale, A CAMPFIRE TALE, ends. Overall this is a solid read that will appeal more to fans of atmospheric scares than those seeking gore soaked bloodshed. 3 Never Ending Fields of Isolation for Dark County. A dark twisted perfection. Another great read by a wonderful author that knows how to dig deep into your nightmares and bring them to life. Dark, twisted perfection. Short stories by a single author These are well planned and written short stories. Each story is different but the theme of landscape threads through them all. Some of the plots aren't that original, but the writer overcomes this with unexpected twists. These stories are a fun but scary with just the right amount of horror to give the reader chills but not nightmares. Awesome Read!!!! Firstly, I like the intro and how introduce yourself and your work to the readers without telling them too much, but still setting the tone for what is about to be read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Survivors-Audiobook/B015JMFJSG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Absolutely Horrible What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? This book left me fuming. Loved the premise, horrible execution. The characters aren't particularly likable and little is provided to explain their behavior, like walking around unarmed after the end of the world. Stupid people who seem incapable of learning from previous mistakes. What was up with Ruth's makeup? What happened to the evil rich bitch? Did Knox get his comeuppance? We'll never know. The sub plots that could have made this story interesting are never developed. There's some conflict with political factions vying for power and bad people tacking advantage of the week. No payback, no resolution to these story threads. Would you ever listen to anything by Terry Nation again? Absolutely not! If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Survivors? The last 2 minutes of this train wreck. Seriously, what was the point in killing off the main character at the very end of the book? The death had no meaning. It was like the author suddenly realized he'd reached the minimum word limit. If I'd wanted a Greek tragedy, I would have picked a different book. Almost ruined by the Americanisation of the text Would you listen to Survivors again? Why? Probably not. I mainly wanted to hear it because I remember the original TV series clearly. It does a good job of telling the story. It is quite dark in places, which suits the post-apocalyptic story. The narrator was, I think, one of the leads in that so I like the idea of her reading it but her narration sometimes lacks the performance element that can bring the text alive. Any additional comments? Why on earth has the text either been written, or edited, for American English? This story is based on a BBC series set in London and rural England and is I think a very English-style story. It therefore jars really badly when the text is littered with references to windshields, sidewalks and worst of all panty hose and "toward" when we would say "towards" , both especially grating. That means for me that it loses 2 stars. surprisingly good story I wasn't sure when I first started but I really got into the story. End of the world novels seem to be all the rage at the moment and this one is not bad at all. didn't see the ending coming until the a few minutes before it actually happened. A classic NOT the same plot as the original 1970s TV series but an altogether more adult and darker story as Terry Nation always intended. Carolyn Seymour is as talented as she is beautiful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Boy-Who-Drew-Monsters-Audiobook/B00ODC2YMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 138 votes Genres: Fiction, Horror Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times best-selling author of The Stolen Child comes a hypnotic literary horror novel about a young boy trapped inside his own world, whose drawings blur the lines between fantasy and reality.

His father, Tim, wanders the beach, frantically searching for a strange apparition running wild in the dunes. And the boy's only friend, Nick, becomes helplessly entangled in the eerie power of the drawings. While those around Jack Peter are haunted by what they think they see, only he knows the truth behind the frightful occurrences as the outside world encroaches upon them all. In the tradition of The Turn of the Screw, Keith Donohue's The Boy Who Drew Monsters is a mesmerizing tale of psychological terror and imagination run wild, a perfectly creepy listen for a dark night. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Keith Donohue) Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:32:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Boy-Who-Drew-Monsters-Audiobook/B00ODC2YMI thebookvoice.com 09:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/909/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: troubled boy, troubled waters I think people who gravitate to this genre will like this one. I'm more on the periphery, but even so, there was enough suspense to keep me listening. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but I did want to learn what was causing the strange sightings, and what it had to do with the little boy. Sometimes the writing was a little heavy handed, with lots of comparisons to blood, ghosts, etc. (I think there was one where the teeth were like tombstones?) But then, it's all part of the fun, and the ending was very good. I always enjoy Bronson Pinchot. For some reason, he sounded about the same when I played my iPod at 2x, so that's how I listened to this one. I loved this book! Would you consider the audio edition of The Boy Who Drew Monsters to be better than the print version? Not having read the print version, I can only say that I wasn't able to flip to the end and spoil it, and I could never have done justice to the accents. Great Book The person reading the book gets the accents perfectly and I honestly didn't see the end coming. It's definitely worth the credit. Interesting story I think this is an interesting story that looks at the way parents and children interact, while learning to deal with tragedies perceived. Great read! Good story with an excellent plot twist. Definitely a book to read by the fire on a a snowy night.
