Members Reviews:

Vincent Price lives!

This is volume five of a very entertaining and fun series by Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Theatre. Sometimes it is downright horrifying and then it can be over-the-top and tongue in cheek. Over all I do believe Mr. Price himself would approve. He loved the art of radio drama and was very proud of the work he did in that genre.

If you love Vincent Price and his films then get these ASAP as the series has already run and you'd positively hate yourself for missing out!

Great

Great stories.

Members Reviews:

Death and Darkness in the South, lots of fun.

This compilation of short stories is perfect for the commuting listener who likes to enjoy a few quick stories. A few of the books I've listened to recently have been 30+ hours long and at about 1.5 hours of listening a day it takes me a while to get through them.

Enter the short story. I've enjoyed all three of the offerings from Mr Kelly so far. He is macabre and twisted and has the ability to give you that little bit of shock and revulsion that comes from the dark and unknown. Fun stuff. Well worth the couple bucks being asked. I think you'll enjoy these short stories, give'm a try!

Wait for it ...

GIANT GHOST CHICKEN.

Literally. There is a story in here about a GIANT GHOST CHICKEN that kills a dude's wife. Not a chicken monster or anything, just a giant evil chicken. The author legitimately wrote that story, sat back, looked at it, and patted himself on the back.

I can't. I just can't.

Generic, but in a good way

Do you like Horror stories?

Do you like having a southern twist on your horror?

Do you like cheap books?

Do you have a short road trip and want to keep your crotch fruit in rapture through out the duration?

If the answer is yes to any of these than you may want to consider buying this book.

Meh

What would have made Halloween Short Stories better?

The stories were probably good, but this was not produced well. Some of the stories ended with no gap between tracks (not even a two-second pause) so one story would bleed right in to the other, which was very jarring. There were other instances where the audio would skip, causing the narrator to sound like she interrupted herself. And the readers themselves had excellent, clear diction, but very little emotion. Their readings were, overall, very flat.

horrible book. very difficult to listen too.

I am disappointed. would love to hear some scary tales....written in old English....thus book was so very disappointing!

Twisted

If you are looking for a twisted, dark, and a emotional rollercoaster then this is the book for you. I loved the book. Thought the book was clever, fast-paced, and spooky! I assume there will be a part 2, if not, there needs to be.

Okay

This started book started a little slow. It turned out okay but very frustrating at times due to the major character asking the same questions (same doubts) throughout the story. He seemed a bit slow! He would see 'proof' that the girl 'moved' but even by the end of the story kept pondering 'did I see her move? She couldn't have moved' and on and on and on.

LOVED It!

This kept my attention! I am looking forward to reading more books by Tim Lebbon. I found myself looking for an excuse to put on my headphones and listen. If you enjoy King or Koontz Give this a try!

Original!

Overall I was not disappointed by Berserk. It was not perfect. There were some annoying snags here and there. One of my favorite features of the story was the bumbling, idiotic "Professional Soldier" who just kept screwing up on so many levels. Very refreshing after reading a Joe Ledger novel or two.

Compellng, but a let down at the end.

Any additional comments?

The story started slow, but eventually got moving. It was compelling most of the way. My only complaint about the narration was that the transition from scene to scene often did not have a pause. This left me confused until I realized the scene had changed. My biggest complaint though, is the ending. It's granted that all stories/movies of the horror genre will end badly. It's almost unheard of for a happy ending. This story's ending wasn't scary, it was just depressing.

Resumen del editor:

¿Puede la maldad tener forma de gato...?

El Gato Negro este corto pero terrorífico relato , quizás sea de los que mejor expresa las atormentadas batallas que tenían lugar en la mente de Edgar Allan Poe. El papel todo lo soporta y en toda obra se puede encontrar una u otra simbología. Para mí el gato negro que tanto atormenta al protagonista, no es otra cosa que la idea del mal, que constantemente se encuentra en tránsito del subconsciente al consciente y que o bien se tiene una gran fortaleza de voluntad o acaba obligándonos a hacer cosas que pueden ser terribles. En esta obra se produce una antítesis completa entre la sensibilidad manifestada por el protagonista y la brutalidad y horror de sus actos, que se pretenden justificar por la posesión demoníaca que el Gato Negro hace del protagonista.Este clásico relato de terror merece ser escuchado con atención y en silencio, porque joyas con este brillo no nos iluminan a menudo.

Title: Paul Is Undead

Subtitle: The British Zombie Invasion

Author: Alan Goldsher

Narrator: Simon Vance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-22-10

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 42 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Ladies and gentlemen, its time to really meet the Beatles. This is a delightfully gory retelling of the Beatles U.S. tour that reimagines the Liverpool foursome as bloodthirsty zombies who take over the worldliterally!

For John Lennon, a young, idealistic zombie guitarist with dreams of global domination, Liverpool seems the ideal place to form a band that could take over the world. In an inspired act, Lennon kills and reanimates local rocker Paul McCartney, kicking off an unstoppable partnership. With the addition of newly zombified guitarist George Harrison and drummer/Seventh Level Ninja Lord Ringo Starr, the Beatles soon cut a swath of bloody good music and bloody violent mayhem across Europe, America, and the entire planet.

In this searing oral history, discover how the Fab Four climbed to the Toppermost of the Poppermost while stealing the hearts, ears, and brains of smitten teenage girls. Learn the tale behind a spiritual journey that resulted in the dismemberment of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Marvel at the seemingly indestructible quartets survival of a fierce attack by Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono. And find out how the boys escaped eternal death at the hands of Englands greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger.

Through all this, one mystery remains: Can the Beatles sublimate their hunger for gray matter, remain on top of the charts, and stay together for all eternity? After all, three of the Fab Four are zombies, and zombies live forever.

Critic Reviews:

Goldsher turns in a classic rags-to-riches tale of aspiration and success that would do Horatio Alger proud, punctuated by no end of gore. (Kirkus Reviews)

"Roughly paralleling the real-world career of the Beatles, this alternate history reimagines successes, failures, and rivalries with over-the-top bizarro charm." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Stinks like feet!

What would have made Paul Is Undead better?

It would have been a good short story. As a longer work it was repetitive and juvenile and tiresome. Are all zombie books like this?

Would you ever listen to anything by Alan Goldsher again?

Maybe. Something not about zombies.

What about Simon Vances performance did you like?

Very versitile: lots of voices, lots of accents.

What character would you cut from Paul Is Undead?

Everyone but Ringo.

Any additional comments?

Stay away!

The Much, Much, MUCH more long and winding road

Would you try another book from Alan Goldsher and/or Simon Vance?

I'm not sure. It would depend what it was about.

What could Alan Goldsher have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He could have told his story in half the time; it was much too long.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Simon Vance?

One of the Beatles would have been nice...since that's not likely to happen, maybe Harry Shearer or Michael McKean--they did such a good job with their satire of the heavy metal music business, Spinal tap. Their put-on accents were very good.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

The beginning of the book i found very funny.

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Robert Jackson Bennett makes a stunning debut with this deliciously dark tale sure to hold readers in its menacing thrall. The grinding poverty brought on by the Great Depression is nowhere more apparent than in the untold thousands looking for work along Americas railroad system. But one man haunting the rail camps has been moved by an entirely different brand of desperation: revenge. And Marcus Connelly wont stop until hee avenges his daughters brutal murder at the hands of a monster known as Mr. Shivers.

Critic Reviews:

"Sprinkled with hobo folklore, Bennett's supernatural dust storm of a debut offers a killer premise and may remind readers of vintage Stephen King." (Amazon.com)

Members Reviews:

From the Cormac McCarthy Playbook

The plot of this book is clever and fascinating, but much of the novel seems to be a transposition of Blood Meridian into the depression era. There are good (even great) moments throughout, but the style gets somewhat tiresome by the end. That coupled with a conclusion that is telegraphed from the beginning of the novel made my interest flag as I went along. Still, it's an interesting story set against a vivid backdrop.

The Grapes of Wrath Cross the Rivery Styx

This starts out slow, a group of men and women coming together in Depression era America, riding the rails and traveling against the flow of life into the West. All of them have lost something vital to their existence...all of them seek vengeance.

As the story progresses, the tableau shifts from what almost seems to be an extension of Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" into a long, slow twist that leads the protagonist, Connely, through myth and legend, pain and redemption toward a very strange, if slightly foreshadowed end.

The narration is good, the characters voices distinct and believable, the pacing and style well-suited to the narration.

A very strong first novel by author Robert Jackson Bennett, and a well-produced and exemplary audio production.

learning to live .....with tragic consequences

I will be the first to tell you that I am lousy at writing reviews, I WILL say that I did enjoy the story, and I think you may too. The narrator is someone I would listen to again, he was good with the characters giving each their own 'voice'. The story its self was very good, the narrator made it great.. I AM going to 'read' it again, I enjoyed it that much. As for whether you will, I say give it a listen and if its not your cup of java then exchange it, that's the lovely thing about Audible, you can exchange it if you don't like it.......cool eh?

Absolutely Great

This author has an absolutely first rate imagination and the ability to put it to words.

One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to, and my audible library is hundreds of audiobooks.

Narrator is perfect.

This one gets the highest grade I can give it,

A+++ !!

a darn good book.

If you like Cormac McCarthy, Steinbeck, and Stephen King you will probably not regret shelling out a credit for this one. don't get me wrong, it ain't Steinbeck or McCarthy (IMHO), but it has the flavor of both--as for king, well...yeah, both better plotted and more thoughtfully written than anything King has done for a long long time.

Great performances

Hardly horror stories by today's standards, this is a uneven collection. Some stories are great, others forgettable or downright awful.The narrations are excellent, as usual with THE STORY CIRCLE.

Here's what's in store for you in this listen:

Marshall King visits his wealthy Uncle Everard with designs on improving his expectations. All seems to be going well until he comes face to face with THE BRAZILIAN CAT.

As Andre de Brissac lies dying, fatally wounded by his cousin Hector, he vows to haunt his killer and in so doing to take from him his greatest happiness. Hector believes himself safe for a time until he learns of his wife's visits with a mysterious stranger and comes to know more about EVELINE'S VISITANT.

A small, sad-eyed soul makes his living by exhibiting acts of daring with various wild cats. Why is he so forlorn, despite his success and acclaim? That is at the heart of THE LEOPARD MAN'S STORY.

THE EYES OF THE PANTHER is part romance, part supernatural mystery. Its ambiguity and twisted imagery could only have come from Bierce's genius.

THE VOICE IN THE NIGHT centers on a group of sailors hearing a tale about a repulsive fungus from an unseen man.

OSHIDORI is a three-minute parable of a falconer who goes hunting and kills one of a pair of Mandarin ducks, only to find out he isn't the poultry fancier he thought himself.

MARKHEIM is the famous RLS story of a man who visits a pawnbroker on Christmas day. He murders the man and sets out to ransack the shop when the devil appears in this classic morality tale.

THE LONG BLACK VEIL also takes place at Christmas. This time an underemployed doctor is summoned by a woman seeking his help for another.

THE LAME PRIEST is an American rural tale of Native Americans, frontiersmen, and a few creatures not of this world.

Years ago an Australian settlement was ravaged by ill-luck, disease, and misery until it was no more.
