Apryl (astitches) | 23 comments I'm halfway through Psycho II by Robert Bloch and I got bored, it's not nearly as good as Psycho. So I started Joe Victim (Cleaner, #2) by Paul Cleave

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just finished up Nightwise Nightwise by R.S. Belcher this was a fun one! kinda like Constantine (the show) but from Virginia.

Char | 17498 comments I finished up Savage Season (good), started listening to Welcome to Night Vale, (NOT good), and now listening to On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, narrated by the King himself, Stephen. So far, so good. :)

Lena (lenar0307) | 20 comments The past couple weeks I have finished Fifth Grave Past the Light and Sixth Grave on the Edge by Darynda Jones, Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Outtakes from the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. I enjoyed them all quite a bit. I'm trying to get caught up in some series.
I am currently listening to For the Fallen book 7 of the Zombie Fallout series by Mark Tufo.

Viv JM | 0 comments I'm listening to NOS 4R2 by Joe Hill . I think it might be the best narrated audiobook I have ever listened to. Kate Mulgrew has a fabulously sinister voice. I think even if she read the shipping forecast, it would send a shiver down my spine!

She did SUCH a good job with NOS4A2, that I upped my rating of the book by 1 star. I thought she was freaking phenomenal! I loved when she did Vic's boyfriend's voice. Du-ude! LOL Her voicing of the horrible Charlie Manx was AWESOME.

I'm currently listening to House of the Rising Sun, narrated by Will Patton. To be honest, this is my first Burke book and I downloaded the audio from the library solely because I LOVE Will Patton's narrations.


message 807: by Bettina (new)

Bettina (bettegh) I just listened to The Loney. Superb production and narration, but a book to be read, not listened to. The creeping horror readers of the book have described just doesn't come across in the audio version.

Now I'm listening to Freedom of the Mask- not quite horror, but McCammon's sixth Matthew Corbett book. They're read by Edouardo Ballerini and I think they're some of the best listening experiences around. I pre order the Matthew Corbett books; the only other books I pre order are Gabaldon's Outlander series.

Ha! I HATED NOS 4R2, but could not stop listening to Mulgrew. Absolutely brilliant performance.

I LOVE the Corbett books. I just finished reading Freedom of the Mask last week. I hope you love it as much as I did.

Char | 17498 comments I'm listening to Where'd You Go, Bernadette and it's good so far. Not my normal fare, but was recommended by a friend I trust.


message 811: by K. D. (new)

K. D. (bookaholic_kd) | 7 comments I'm listening to Seed by Ania Ahlborn . The narrator has a nice voice.


message 812: by Viv (new)

Viv JM | 0 comments I finished NOS4R2 - I loved it, but it was by far the longest audiobook I've listened to, so I thought I'd go for a nice short one next - The Woman in Black The Woman In Black by Susan Hill a mere 4 hours 36 mins!


message 813: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I loved NOS4A2 so much! I bought the audio of The Fireman, even though I've already read it, just because of the narrator.

I'm finally listening to last month's group listen: The Passage. This is a re-read for me, in preparation of reading the third book in the trilogy, which just came out.


message 814: by Gordon (new)

Gordon Hayes | 2 comments Listened to "The Conqueror Worm", which is actually a short story audiobook narrated by the author and also the first chapter to his book, Death of heaven.
I liked it a lot though the ending is more emotional than I prefer (no it was good though) it lead me into full the book. Which was a smart move since the audiobook stands well on its own. The short story though well done doesn't truly portend the complexity or depravity of the book overall which sadly isn't in audiobook form. Yet?

JZ Murdock
From the Amazon page:
"Jimmy and James are two young boys who leave on the same block. They are best friends, adventurers in the realm of childhood and they decided to dig for buried treasure. What they dig up is a terror beyond their ability to put it into words. Unless that word is... a scream. Also available as an audiobook. "
About, The Conqueror Worm....
"The story itself is very strong, lulling the reader into a false sense of security as two young boys hunt for treasure, before ultimately morphing into a violent and sometimes disturbing tale of horror. This is done with such swiftness that it takes the reader almost completely by surprise, which only enhances the effect."
This on the full book:
"[Death of heaven] ... has a Books of Blood vibe, which really works well. It's in these tales that the author's writing ability shines. He demonstrates a lovely turn of phrase and some of the writing is almost poetic in its beauty." From Michael Brookes

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just listened to HEX for the group listen. I just don't know about it... i'll probably listen to some podcast before starting a new book. i'll pick something out for next week.

Viv JM | 0 comments The Little Stranger The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters . It doesn't look like it's going to win the poll for July's group listen, but I'm starting it anyway because I'm in the mood for a crumbling mansion and some spooky goings on :-)

Apryl (astitches) | 23 comments I started Cemetery Lake (Theodore Tate, #1) by Paul Cleave
this has the same narrator as The Cleaner and Joe Victim which I really enjoyed. I also love that some characters are mentioned again in other books!


message 832: by Tom (new)

Tom | 340 comments Joe is back?!? The description doesn't say anything about him but I will put it on my list. Loved The Cleaner and Joe Victim and Joe!

No Joe, but Detective Schroder is in it and there is mention of the killings.


message 834: by Tattooed Horror (new)

Tattooed Horror Reader (tattooedreader13) I'm re-listening to 14 and enjoying it just as much as my first listen. There's a lot going on in this book and I'm picking up on things I definitely missed the first go-round. It's not a horror novel, much more on the sci-fi spectrum, but it's got fun mystery elements and delves into some Lovecraftian themes as well.


message 835: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I just finished listening to The Elementals by Michael McDowell .

Fan-freaking-tastic!


message 836: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I love both of those last 2^

message 845: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 1 comments Currently re-listening (audiobook) to The Twelve - I am going to read The City of Mirrors next, but when i read the overview, I realized I had read the previous book so long ago that I forgot most of it. I do know I really liked the first 2 so I'm hoping the next one is as good! I haven't had an audible subscription for a while now, I may restart it :)
