Michael Hicks (michaelpatrickhicks) | 989 comments I just finished listening to Jonathan Maberry's The King of Plagues, the third in his Joe Ledger series. I'm digging the hell out of these books, but having listened to three of them right in a row, it's time for a bit of a break. Back to some podcasts for me.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments The Cabin at the End of the World just finished this for group listen. 5 stars! It was sooooo good! This is my 3rd pick for best book of 2018. My 3rd pick that is.

Tattooed Horror Reader (tattooedreader13) Just finished listening to The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich , really enjoyed it! Excellent narrators and production. Still not entirely sure what I think about the story - really enjoyed it, but still have a lot of questions. Found myself still puzzling over it this morning, which is usually a good sign. Definitely recommend.

Now, I'm listening to A Shadow on the Wall by Jonathan Aycliffe , which is very different in tone and voice, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a polar opposite to The Dead House, which I appreciate. Fun so far.

I'm intrigued by this one, but really struggle with home invasion stories, they freak me out so much more than any ghost, possession, slasher type fiction.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments Yeahhh, you might want to skip it then. I like the old timey cover!

I enjoyed the first two in that series but didn't do the audio version.
Did you like the audio versions? May try the third in audio.

Just started The Cold Dish with George Guidall as the narrator. I didn't love his narration on the Dark Tower books but he is really nailing this book.

I'm LOVING the audio, Ctgt! Ray Porter is the series narrator and he does a phenomenal job. I kind of can't imagine reading the print editions now that I've got Porter's imprint so firmly ingrained. I imagine eventually I will, but for now I'm sticking solely with the audio editions.

Char | 17498 comments I just finished the second Bob book For We Are Many, narrated by Ray Porter and he is phenomenal.


message 1210: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I will be starting Dracula: Audible Edition Dracula Audible Edition by Bram Stoker sometime this week for a group read. I will also be listening to All Hallows by Walter De La Mare.

Char | 17498 comments Now I'm listening to Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

Ami Morrison | 239 comments About to finish Something in the Water.


message 1213: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Bingham (seekjustice117) | 32 comments I'm finishing Skeleton Crew but I just spent a week in NOLA and want to revisit the Vampire Chronicles.


message 1214: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I have been wanting to revisit them too. Every time I hear Simon Vance read something, it’s a struggle not to drop everything and start the vampire Lestat. He reads Jonathan barker’ Sparta in Dracula which I just finished.

sonya marie madden  | 926 comments I'm listening to merrick

I am also listening to that edition of Dracula. I was so excited when I saw that both Alan Cumming and Tim Curry were involved!


message 1217: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I thought everyone did a great job.


message 1218: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I love NOLA, but haven't been there since the late 90's.

I'm listening to Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson


message 1219: by Michael (new)

Michael Hicks (michaelpatrickhicks) | 989 comments I finished up the first audiobook in Martha Wells' Murderbot series, All Systems Red during this morning's commute and will be starting book two, Artificial Condition, tonight! I'm kinda lukewarm on the narrator, but I love the Murderbot.


message 1220: by Venessa (new)

Venessa (troilee) | 5 comments I'm currently listening to Nights of the Living Dead: An Anthology. A couple of the stories I've found to be duds so far, at least for me personally, but several were great. They have multiple narrators, most stories with a single one, but one story with a cast (it was pretty horrifying -- great listen!).

I'm not a huge zombie fan, though I have a soft spot for George Romero, in general. Zombies actually creep me out more than any other onscreen monster. Though book-zombies don't creep me out nearly as much. Kinda weird, that.

Anyway, overall, I am liking it so far. I'm probably more than half but less than 3/4 of the way through. Recommend :)


message 1221: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 765 comments Thanks Michael, I'll try to track down the audio.

Just finished a reread of The Exorcist , read by the author. Unless it's a memoir I don't usually enjoy authors reading their own work but Blatty crushed it with this version. His voicing of the demon was fantastic.

Going to start War of the Wolf shortly


message 1222: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I'm finishing Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson by Jeff Guinn. It's excellent as are all of his non fiction endeavors. It's full of detail and actually has some interviews with Manson's actual family. 4.5*

I'm starting the third and last of the We Are Bob trilogy.

Char | 17498 comments Oooh, who narrates Burnt Offerings? Loved that book!

I finished off the last of the Bobiverse books, and I'm sorry to see him/them go. All These Worlds All These Worlds (Bobiverse, #3) by Dennis E. Taylor

I'm starting Exorcist Falls Exorcist Falls by Jonathan Janz

Ami Morrison | 239 comments Listening to Frankenstein Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Not really loving Frankenstein. >.>

Oh! And listening to The Anomaly The Anomaly by Michael Rutger

This one has been a lot of fun so far!


message 1232: by Danielle (reading) (new)

Danielle (reading) (danielle-reading) just started Hex this morning.


message 1233: by Jess (new)

Jess Penhallow | 31 comments I'm listening to A Murder in Time. I like the story but the narrator's American accent is awful. I'm not even American and I can tell its bad and the protagonist is American so you hear it a lot!


message 1234: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments Exorcist Falls was one hell of a thrill ride. LOVED IT!
Now I'm reading/listening to the second in a trilogy: The Book of Etta. I'm liking it more than I expected to, after scanning some of the reviews.


message 1235: by sonya (new)

sonya marie madden  | 926 comments I'm listening to lasher by Anne rice. The narrator is great


message 1236: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments The Witching Hour started listening to this. I think this is the 3rd time I've read it? I forgot how much there is before we dive into the Mayfair history!


message 1237: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I loved The Book of Etta! Now I'm listening to The Traveling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon.

Sonja | 287 comments The Cabin at the End of the World
I am really liking the story. The reader not so much.


message 1240: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I'm listening to My Best Friend's Exorcism and I love it so far. I finished up The Witching Hour and I must say, Rowan got on my nerves very much this time around.

Ctgt | 765 comments Finished For We Are Many which was fun and started Diplomatic Immunity.


message 1244: by Michael (new)

Michael Foster Listening to The Troop. I expect to finish it tomorrow during my commute. Its ok, but I'm not loving it. I just read Little Heaven and I didn't love that either. Maybe this author is not for me.
