I do too, and I've LONG been a fan of this author. The story is a little weird though, but I like it so far.

The Rising (The Rising #1) by Brian Keene

Less than four hours left, so I should be able to finish it up during this week's commute. Then it'll be onto its sequel!

Char | 17498 comments I've started Video Night by Adam Cesare , narrated by Matt Godfrey. It's a hell of a lot of fun so far!

Laurie  (barksbooks) (barklesswagmore) | 1471 comments I've started and stopped The Late Breakfasters and Other Strange Stories by Robert Aickman several times this week. It is just soooo slow but the narrator is Matt Godfrey and he's awesome. I just hope the story picks up soon.

Tori | 40 comments Do vintage/retro horror audio dramas count as a form of "short story?" Or are they in their own category? Because I've been listening to a lot of those, lately. It's been fun!

Denise (drams5) | 155 comments Just wrapped up The Wife. It's narrated narrated by Xe Sands...who has tons of rave reviews. I noticed in several places she seemed to trail off at the ends of sentences making it hard to listen to at a consistent volume. I'd turn it up to be able to hear and then the next paragraph would be so loud! Anyone else notice this with her? I even wondered if it was the recording (instead of her actual intonation).

All of that aside--it was a suspenseful, fast story and worth the listen.

I have Westcork here too. I wondered how it was. Thanks for the mini-review!

Laurie  (barksbooks) (barklesswagmore) | 1471 comments The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1) by Guillermo del Toro
The Strain

So far it's ok.


message 1127: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments Is it very different from the show? The strain?


message 1128: by Phil (new)

Phil (chaoseum) | 792 comments Swift to Chase by Laird Barron

Great stories, but the narration is awful and lacks enthusiasm, plus it’s littered with mispronunciations (my favorite was “manevolent”).

I looked on Audible to see reviews on this guy and saw that the version I have has been taken down and replaced with a new recording by a different narrator.

ElleEm | 155 comments Almost finished with Blade Runner originally named Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

Definitely not a new book but I haven't read it. I am really enjoying it.

I haven't seen the show so am not sure. It reads like a movie a little bit though. All action, little character time.

I hope you enjoy it. It's slow burning but it got to me. :)

Ami Morrison | 239 comments Relic Relic (Pendergast, #1) by Douglas Preston

I read this book way back in the early 2000's, and I really loved it. And the whole series is one I've been wanting to listen to on audio ever since I found out Rene Auberjonois does the narrating. so now i am FINALLY getting around to listening to it!

I normally either listen to the audio or read the book, i dont usually do both to the same book. and i've got to admit..... it is really odd listening to a series after you've read about 16 of the books. the voices are just..... sooooooooo different from what i've had in my head all these years. :O

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I am almost done with The Broken Girls by Simone St. James and it is so good!


message 1139: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I started listening to The Power by Naomi Alderman but for whatever reason, my mind kept wandering.
Now I'm listening to The Road to Jonestown Jim Jones and Peoples Temple by Jeff Guinn .


message 1140: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I have the Jonestown book. Is it good? I got it in a sale a while back.

I just started it, but yes, so far so good. :)

I listened to Rebecca as a reread last year, I think, and I very much enjoyed it!

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments Oh I love Rebecca!!! I listened to monster hunter int. Too and I think I liked it.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I started Kill Creek and I think I'm going to love it. it always brings a smile to my face when I read or listen to a book wrote by a fellow horror fan. this guy clearly loves it all just like us.

The audio of that was just excellent. I think you're right about the author too. It's amazing to me that this was his first novel.

Loved the first book but never found the time to continue on.

Just started The Girl in the Spider's Web. I usually avoid these series that are continued by someone other than the original creator but I've seen some decent reviews and it was available at the library so figured I would give it a shot. About halfway through and it has been ok....not great.

Elena | 80 comments Just started listening to A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin read the series two or three times before, and loved it. Somehow i got this idea in my head that The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6) by George R.R. Martin will not be released until i endulge in the song of ice and fire series one more time😁
