Title: The Black Cat

Author: Edgar Allan Poe

Narrator: David Ian Davies

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-26-09

Publisher: One Voice Recordings

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Edgar Allan Poe's horrific short story is the account of a man's irreversible journey into madness as he awaits his execution by hanging the next morning. Fueled by bouts of alcoholism and what seems an inborn fatal streak of madness, his manic extremes of violence and guilt demand attacks upon the innocent to alay his own self-hatred.

(P)2006 One Voice Recordings

Editorial Reviews:

David Ian Davies delivers a rousing performance of American writer Edgar Allan Poes harrowing short story "The Black Cat". His raspy voice is well suited for this terrifying first-person narrative. On the eve of his execution, a man gives a detailed account of his descent into madness and the horrific crime he committed, which he claims is "nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects." The catalyst for his violence? A house cat, which was once a beloved pet.

Members Reviews:

Well read.

I am officially a fan of John Lee's narration. I had listened to another audiobook of his and was impressed, and his work on Dracula has only reinforced that belief. If you do not like when narrators create individual voices for each character, then stay away. If you do, enjoy; but be warned: the novel was written in 1897, and by today's standards it slogs along.

Very good audible book!

Book was amazing, the narrating was perfect, and it only started to stutter/ skip maybe 2-4 times while listening. Overall it was brilliant! Will definitely listen to it again.

awesome

I suggest that anyone who likes John Saul begin with this book. It's one of his best reads.

I love John Sauls books

I have just downloaded the last unread book of John Saul! I love his books, although they can be so alike in many ways, they are also so different and you can never really guess how it's going to end. His chief characters don't always win!! I love every one of them.

The First Book I Finished In High School

Where does Comes the Blind Fury rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Scale of 1-10, a 10.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Comes the Blind Fury?

When Michelle was becoming like Amanda, and Amanda left Michelle after she killed those kids that made fun of Michelle.

What does Tanya Eby Sirois bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

She brings excitement, character idenity, emotions to each character, and brings sight to your mind which gives you the chance to see what she is actually saying what the character is doing and saying. Just Brilliant!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I am not that emotional. But I was curious on the different reactions the characters carried out in the story. I like the audio better than the paperback. Very nice book.

Generic

It was a good read when I was a preteen; but as an adult listen Blah.

Christine s review of this book.

Dean has always been one of my favorite authors, but I don't like this story. I hate the ending most of all. He made evil triumph and that will never sit well with me. Not ever!

loved it

I have always loved John saul books. this story like the rest does not disappoint. I will continue to read John saul regularly and if you have not experienced his books you should truly try.

great book!

I love any book by John Saul. He is absolutely brilliant! This was my first time listening to a book. I didn't know if I would be able to get into the book the way I usually do. I am quite impressed. Im hooked!

Brings Back Memories

Would you consider the audio edition of When the Wind Blows to be better than the print version?

Yes, the only reason why I say this is because I read this book for the first time when I was in high school. It was a book I bought at Sears in Highland Park Michigan. When I saw that it was in audio form, I was excited, and it brought back memories to me. I really enjoyed listening to this audio version. I have no time to read paperbacks.

What was one of the most memorable moments of When the Wind Blows?

When it was revealed that there was something wrong with Diana; and Diana was the actual killer, but she didn't know it. Even at the end, she still didn't know she was the killer.

Have you listened to any of Joyce Beans other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not sure, but I know one thing and is she was fabulous in making me see each character as an individual, now that is real talent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I don't have the time for that. What I did was to listen to it in the car when I was going on my erands. My husband listens to it as well. He loved it too.

Any additional comments?

I have one other comment, and that is I wish you could take a book that John Saul has called Creature and turn it into an audio book. Back in the day it was on cassette (1995). Can you look into it? That is a marvelous book as well.

Good Readers, Overanthologized Texts

The fact Cathy Dobson is gleefully inattendant more than offsets the unfortunate selection of all-too-common stories. The readers deliver well the stories, but I find that, out of some two dozen, only half a dozen are not completely stories I've heard many, many times, many of which I never liked. Still, a fair offering.

Not as Good as Volume 1

I have had Volume 1 of this collection for some time and enjoy listening to it each Halloween. I was very much looking forward to adding this book to my October listening tradition, however, I'm not sure that I will keep it in my Halloween book rotation. I have to admit that I am a little disappointed in the production value of Volume 2. In Volume 1 each story was separated by an appropriately spooky and brief musical interlude which allowed an opportunity to reflect on the previous story and prepare for the mystery and suspense of the upcoming piece. Unfortunately, the stories in Volume 2 jump awkwardly from one into the other without even a momentary pause. This is very disconcerting and detracts from the listening enjoyment. If you're trying to decide between the two volumes, spend your money or credits on Volume 1.

Good for Halloween

A good listen for the month of October it really get's you fired up for October 31st. Nothing exactly phenomenal about it but I don't recall any particular let downs either.

Great to Snuggle Up With On a Cold Stormy Night

Such a good assortment of spooky stories. Bunker down with these stories and be taken to most exciting places. Beautifully read and great fun.

Wonderful stories

What made the experience of listening to Classic Tales of Horror the most enjoyable?

Patrick Malahide made this audible presentation most marvelous. The stories were wonderful but the performance was unforgettable.

What did you like best about this story?

I love this presentation and listen to these terrific stories over and over. They are like old friends and Malahide's performance sends me to another world. My most favorite is the Stoker story about the Cat.

What about Patrick Malahides performance did you like?

Malahide's absolute command of the different English and old English styles and accents were brilliant.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen to these stories again and again...they are old friends.

Any additional comments?

I love this book.

Title: Classic Thrillers

Subtitle: Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Author: Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley

Narrator: Brian Cox, Heathcote Williams, Full Cast

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-05

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Bram Stoker's 1897 classic horror story expressing the most persistent nightmare of the human condition is brought to life by a skilled and imaginative cast, including Brian Cox as Van Helsing and Heathcote Williams as Dracula.

Authentic 'monster music', from the golden age of 1940s horror movies, is combined with a 'Dracula' ballet score and various sound effects to crate a gripping aural experience. Take this opportunity to dream again...

The gothic tale of Frankenstein and his construction of a human being which runs amok, has, with the help of numerous films, become one of the most vivid horror stories.

But Mary Shelley's original novel, written in 1816, dealt more sympathetically with 'the daemon', showing how an initially beneficent creature is hammered into a daemon by the way he is treated.

Her ideas, and her dramatic but poignant story, are brought to life in this sound dramatization.

To supplement this reading of Frankenstein, listen to

Best abridgement I've seen

This is a great abridgement. It is a full cast audio book and has all the characters from both stories. All the main events are there. If you want to read an abridged copy of Frankenstein and Dracula, I highly recommend this one.

Critic Reviews:

"The witty and obsessive voice of King's powerful imagination." (Amy Tan)"What King lacks in professional polish he makes up for with an infectious enthusiasm that will lock in listeners for the long haul." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Informative and... Fun.

Strength: I enjoy hearing authors talk about how they write their novels. Stephen King is very informative and interesting as he discusses writing the novel Bag of Bones and audiobooks in general.

Weakness: If you haven't read (or listened) to the novel yet and plan to, there may be spoilers, listener beware! I also have to agree with another reviewer:

YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE THIS INTERVIEW. If you purchased Bag of Bones and have not yet listened to it thoroughly, this interview is at the end of that book.

He Can Write

I enjoy hearing SK talk about how he writes and what inspires him. When he addresses issues that are not in the field of writing, he often shows glaring logical fallacies and frankly idiotic thinking.

Worth hearing...possible Bag of Bones spoilers?

This interview is closely related to the audiobook release of Bag of Bones, and the novel is the primary subject. I have not read (or listened to) the book, so much of what King talks about went over my head, and some of what he said may reveal certain surprises in the book. But as long time King fan, it is definitely worth downloading, especially when one account for the cost :)

Insightful Interview

Stephen King answers questions and explains the process he experienced writing "Bag of Bones". He is very generous with other writers as he talks about how he developes the different characters in his books. His love for reading as well as writing becomes evident. He also discusses the advantages of listening verses reading. If you are a fan of his, you probably love his art of painting the pictures as well as the off center reality he creates. The interview gave me a new perspective and a new appreciation of the art of writing. I hope you enjoy it too.

Cool!

After listening to this interview, I bought every King audiobook read by King himself...
