Title: Goon

Author: Edward Lee, John Pelan

Narrator: Joe Hempel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-16

Publisher: Necro Publications

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Relentless as a Texas death-match, Goon is a no-holds-barred festival of body slams; an insatiable orgy of pile-drivers and sexual grotesqueries, of neck-breakers, drop-kicks, and more blood and guts than a fish-market floor.

Six-foot-9 and 400 pounds, hailing from parts unknown, he is the one-man walking gore machine of the Deep South Wrestling Conference, and his name is Goon.

But Detective Phillip Straker isn't a wrestling fan. The bodies pile up like dirty laundry: sex-obsessed tramps used as playthings by some unspeakable creature. Straker is determined to solve the rash of mutilation murders with trimmings that beg description. Is it just coincidence, or do all the victims have something in common?

Investigative reporter Melinda Pierce will do anything to find out, by offering herself up as a sexual spittoon in order to infiltrate the arcane and lust-drenched warrens of the backstage of professional wrestling. There in malodorous locker rooms and unsavory motels, she partakes in carnal forays so gross, so downright nasty they'd make a porn star puke.

Goon, this human juggernaut, this masked rack of guts, muscle and mayhem. Is Goon just a wrestler gone insane? Or is he something hideously worse?

It just might leave you down for the count.

Totally Sick

Any additional comments?

This short horror novel delivers some seriously gruesome sexual violence along with a detailed look into the world of wrestling, which was pretty cool. 'Goon' also includes a female heroine to the male villain who is equally as violent and bad ass - a rare occasion in horror and one that I really appreciate. Overall, 'Goon' is well written, interesting, horrifying and fun. Joe Hempel never disappoints, in fact I routinely am lost in his narrations. 10/10 would recommend to any horror lovers!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

held my interest from start to finish!

I listen to it straight through. One of the better books well worth the money or your credit.

Crazy, Gruesome Fun!

I used to love wrestling back in the 80's and this book brought back so many of those memories. The play on the wrestlers names made me laugh out loud at times.

I can honestly say I really didn't have any clue where the story was going. I was curious why an investigative reporter would go the lengths Melinda did for the story and Detective Straker cracked me up and you actually felt for the guy.

It was a crazy ride and the end was inevitable. The narration was perfect. I definitely enjoyed this twisted tale!

GROSSLY ENTERTAINING

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

I've never experienced this genre before and frankly, after receiving a pre-download content awareness email, I was afraid to listen to it. But I'm glad I did. It was very entertaining. A good storyline that moved right along. And I liked the paranormal twist at the end.

The out-of-line depravity was so over the top that it was comically captivating. I believe the authors felt it was lacking in filthiness so they added a Hillbilly deputy(?) recalling all his vile sexual adventures. Nope.

Members Reviews:

A good followup to the first book.

I enjoyed this book, though not quite as good as the first one. The narration was okay but the first was better to me. Ready for the next book

Another great series

Peter Meredith does it again. I am listening to all his books as they come out. This is another great story

can't wait for 3

can't wait for book 3 ! number 2 sets it up to he a killer series

Not as Cover Suggests..

What disappointed you about The Edge of Temptation?

Looking at the cover, you'd think this is a post apocalyptic book with soldiers, dead people and crumbling civilization. Well, dead people it has. Somewhere in the book soldiers pop up, although their so insignificant I don't remember them. I got this book because the first was pretty interesting...a PA novel with a twist, academics using ancient magic to bring upon demons, which turn people into zombies, sort of. The magic was neat, the history of the ancient arts the characters performed was well written, but I assumed it would be more than that. If you're into that read the first book, much better. This one is one magic spell after another after another after another. Pretty soon I was like, ok I get it, another demon is coming. ,And each one was the demon to end all demons. Until the next. It was all about getting to the next safe location, (that which had no demons yet) whether that be a clearing in the grass or a rooftop to have enough time to cast the next spell to kill the next demon. I don't even remembered how it ended, I'm just glad it did.

Oh and the main character is in love with his cousin. Ewww.

Has The Edge of Temptation turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What about Steve Rauschs performance did you like?

His performance was fine.

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

Disappointment

excellent

great original story. I really can't wait for the next book. please hurry thank you

Title: The Sentinel

Author: Jeffrey Konvitz

Narrator: Mary Murphy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-16-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 84 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Aspiring model Allison Parker finally moves into her dream apartment: a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But her perfect home quickly turns hellish. The building is filled with a cast of sinister tenants, including a reclusive blind priest, who seems to watch her day and night through an upstairs window. Eventually, Allison starts hearing strange noises from the empty apartment above hers. Before long, she uncovers the building's demonic secret and is plunged into a nightmare of sinful misdeeds and boundless evil. In the tradition of Rosemary's Baby, this gripping novel was adapted into a feature film starring Ava Gardner, Cristina Raines, and Chris Sarandon. The Sentinel is classic horror at its best.

Members Reviews:

Listen with the Lights On

Would you consider the audio edition of The Sentinel to be better than the print version?

Horror stories naturally lend themselves told aloud and this is no exception. Hearing this, instead of reading it, makes you feel like someone is in the room -- or the car which is where I listened to The Sentinel -- and it adds to the level of unease that a story like this is meant to evoke.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sentinel?

When the other tenants of the building are introduced, you can feel the story taking a turn down a sinister path. The characters add to the ambiance and I swear it feels like the lights dim.

What about Mary Murphys performance did you like?

I very much enjoyed the narrator who really showed a wide range of vocal qualities. Her pace and intonations added texture to the story, helping to bring to life the characters and the dark world they inhabit in smart detail.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Stay Away from the Upper West Side.

Any additional comments?

A great story for audio-book aficionados of all kinds, not just horror story fans.

Narrated by Siri

The story itself was dated, sexist, and homophobic. The main character is a timid woman who is always trembling when she's not busy being a model. That being said, it had a creative plot and some really great moments and characters. So if you can wade through the mediocrity, I'd say that the book has some gems that make it worthwhile. Unfortunately the woman narrating the book sounds like the voice of Siri or a GPS system. I kept expecting it to tell me to turn left on Main St.

great story.

The narrator sounds a little automated but after a while I got used to it, and it actually went well with the way the book was written. Definitely recommend it if you like older horror movies.

Hidden Treasure

I've read a few classic horror novels and been disappointed, but this one was great! Suspenseful, and scary with the added strangeness and mystery of Christianity. Great story!

Rosemary's Baby, Move Over!

This was a thrilling story and a great listening experience. You think you know where it's going - ha! Just wait! I was thoroughly pulled in by the mysterious atmosphere and felt I was living in that crazy world with Allison.

The characters were vividly brought to life by the great narration. Her reading enhanced the writing for me - she found the perfect pace and tone for each scene. The birthday party, in particular, was fabulous, with a room full of eccentric characters.

Bravo on all counts. I highly recommend.

Title: Freaky Lies

Subtitle: A Mystic Caravan Mystery, Book 2

Author: Amanda M. Lee

Narrator: Caitlin Kelly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-16

Publisher: Amanda M. Lee

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 73 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

The Mystic Caravan Circus is a place of magic and mayhem. Unfortunately for Poet Parker these days, it's also packed full of lies.

It's been more than a week since she found out an unsightly secret: Her boss Max is her boyfriend's father. Despite giving Max an ultimatum, he's yet to tell Kade Denton the truth, and that's left Parker in a sticky situation.

When the circus goes to Nebraska, Poet can't dwell on her personal problems for long because a body is found in a nearby field and it's missing arms, legs and eyes. Everyone agrees there's something off about the death - other than the obvious that is. But no one can figure out what kind of force the folks of Mystic Caravan are facing off with next.

Between the emotional distress, her best friend Luke threatening to release embarrassing photographs, and a local police presence that is suspicious, Poet has her hands full. That's on top of a new clown that makes everyone suspect he's up to no good even as he leaves the female population salivating.

The clues come together slowly, and when the end comes, the enemy is someone no one saw coming. What happens when the face of evil looks like a victim? And, more importantly, what happens when all of the lies are eradicated and Poet is stripped bare and forced to tell the truth?

It's another fun-filled outing for the Mystic Caravan Circus - as long as everyone survives to see another day, that is.

Waiting for next books

Can't wait for next books. I have liked Amanda Lee's books starting with the Avery Shaw series.

awesome series so far

hilariously campy fraught with tame suggestion. I like the snark ,sarcasm and friendly ribbing as well.

story is pretty good

the only thing I didn't like is the main hero's boyfriend is more of a girl then she is and he really needs to man up and yes I know the hero's boyfriend is going through a very emotional situation but still any real man would at least be rational and put the blame where it belongs not where it doesn't

Publisher: M. Lauryl Lewis

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

There was no warning. No way to prepare. One might think that the end of the world would come slowly, or loudly, or perhaps so quickly that the end would be a vast, dark nothing. One might think there would be news traveling of impending doom. Some hint of how the human race would die. One would think.

Zoe's been on her own since she was a teenager, when tragedy took her family. Living in a remote small town, she withdrew from society. Her longtime friend, Adam Boggs, left her even more broken when he left for college and cut off communication. When he's back in town for a visit, they attempt to reconcile. The next morning brings an end to life as they knew it.

Fleeing for safety, they soon cross paths with other survivors. It doesn't take long until they realize that the dead are not the only things to fear. While the world is taken over by the dead, Zoe and Boggs are brought together in a heated romance that neither expect. Things get even more complicated when Zoe finds herself cursed with a mental link to the dead. Their lives become all about surviving, coping, and loving each other.

Members Reviews:

Not your typical zombie story

The intermingling of zombie fiction and real-life feelings make this book the prize that it is. Joined with Angel Clark's steady voice, listeners are taken away by this thrilling tale of life in turmoil.

Wouldn't recommend.

Could have been an interesting "zombie" story, if not for the human characters.

Unique spin on the undead, but that was overshadowed by the patronizing men and whiny helpless females.

Annoying

The only character I found to be extremely annoying was Zoe she seemed more like a 14-year-old than someone in her 20s I felt that she was immature,whiny and self-centered. The crying and whining all the time was extremely annoying especially in a zombie apocalypse story where

people need to be strong and tough. She for me ruined what I think could've been a good story. Not sure yet if I want to read the other four books although I would like to know what happens to the other characters.

Zombies and sex

The story was okay, I may even get the sequel, but the way the reader read it really disempowered the female characters and made them seem helpless, even when they did heroic things. And the goys are decent, but over masculinized a bit.

There was also a little too much detail in the sex scenes for me. I like my zombies and erotica in completely different stories.

Members Reviews:

Keene in fine form & Williamson is sublime

If you're a fan of apocalyptic horror in the vein of 28 Days Later, this book will not disappoint. Keene is great at creating fully fleshed out characters that you easily become invested in, which is all the more devastating when they come to a gory end. Chet Williamson, a fine horror scribe in his own right, is stupendous in his narration. Changing cadence and tone to portray characters as varied as a single mom & her son, an older Italian widow & her cat, a black Vietnam vet, a transgender woman and even a serial killer convinced his crimes are protecting the Earth from inter dimensional horrors. A must for Keene fans and a great introduction to those unfamiliar with his works.

First time listener

I picked this at random, and really enjoyed it. I will listen to more Brian Keene down the road.

great book

again, Brian Keene delivers. great story, great book! I wish all of his novels were in audible format. maybe one day!

loved it

always love Brian Keene books. they start fast and stay exciting the whole time. listened to this whole book during a work shift. wasn't disappointed

Great book from Brian Keene, Chet was awesome!

Really enjoyed this audiobook...like Brian Keene books and though that Chet Williamson did an Awesome job.

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-16

Publisher: Mike Evans

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 49 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

The best part about a book, is that moment you can put it down, and say at least that can't happen in real life, until now. The Uninvited will leave you checking your doors, locking your windows and skipping the weekend camping trip. Meet the stranger, a killer who is unbiased about who it chooses to be the victim, and never tires of the killing. If Dexter and Leatherface had a baby, The Uninvited would be their offspring. Smart, dark, twisted, and disturbing is The Uninvited. If descriptive slasher books are for you, look no further! If you love Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Friday the 13th you have found the book for you with everything you could want with so much more than you are expecting to happen!

Members Reviews:

A must listen for any Horror /slasher fan

This was a fantastic Horror book. I loved the fact that i got to listen to a true horror book with all the killing, blood, and guts pouring out and games played but no rape or sexually violence. The killer just killed to kill thats what the killer liked to do . It keep me on my edge of the book wanting to not stop listing to see what was going to happen next . And then one part I was thinking OH HELLO NO ...... this is perfect. Must listen I think any Dexter and leather face fan will love this book Any slasher horror reader will as well . Give it a try you wont be disappointed

horror at its best

Any additional comments?

Mike Evans does a great job of going from the zombie genre to the horror genre with this book. Scares that come when you least expect it. once you start reading it you wont put it down until your done

Not for the feight at heart

This guy is Dexter squared. it is a great book if you really like the slasher, blood and guts, very detailed gory, extreme horror type books. If you don't, don't bother, you won't like it and will just complain, if you do like that kind of thing, well than what are you waiting for, check the locks turn up the lights and let s go.

This serial killer gets away with it and no one knows how, but he goes on terrorizing until the day the police finally blow him up or have they?

I had the audio in which narrator S.W. Salzman brings this story to life in my imagination more than I could have ever done it myself. His use of different voices and the way he made the story his own just made the whole experience so much more wonderful for me.

Bad writing

Any additional comments?

The story could have been good but the writing is at a Junior High level. Too much detailed conversation during intense moments. Who has a full on conversation/ argument about weekend plans during Sex?! Not just making out talking but full on sex. And when a serial killer is running full force at you, you dont stop to discuss the intricacies of your relationship with your husband. You Fing RUN!!! Found myself repeatedly yelling at the book to just shut up already!!!

Audible upgrade review only

Unfortunately I am 1/2 through the first chapter and I cant keep going. I cant get into what sounds like will be a great story because the narrator speaks EVERY sentence as if it were ....Exciting?, or as if hes commentating a car race. It just prevents any flow, if that makes sense. I am deeply disappointed that I purchased the audible upgrade. I will have to review If I get a chance to read it.

"If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat." - Stephen King

Whitechapel, November 1888: Jack the Ripper is committing his last known murder and beneath the bed on which he's butchering his victim cowers a fifteen-year-old boy. So begin the adventures of Trevor Bentley: a boy who embarked on an errand of mercy and ended up on a quest for vengeance, a boy who will bring the horrors of the Ripper to the New World.

Members Reviews:

A SHIRT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED

FOR A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS SHE SEEMED A TRIFLE BOSSY

Having read two of Laymon's shorter works, this was not what I expected. While it had plenty of bodies being cut up in the first three hours, it was written in a 1800's London style. The writing style took away from any possible suspense and made the horror parts seem almost comical. If this had been a six to eight hour book, I could have hung on, but having to listen to another ten hours, just seemed daunting.

entertainingly

I'm not sure if it was the narrator's performance or what, but this book ended up being both disturbing AND hilarious at the same time!

Great

Second read. well written an incredibly imaginative. A must read. I can't recommend it enough.

Suprised good book

A little like swan song by mcgammon. Well done. One of his better books.

Comming of age adventure, funny at times.

Awesome story!!

Didn't know what to expect but surprisingly enough, it kept me engrossed until the end. The characters are awesome and the ending couldn't have been better.

good storyline to follow the rest

I enjoyed it, a very cool series which allows us to follow our friends in the dark times

Weakest book in a great series.

Any additional comments?

I wasn't too into this book. It definitely got better as it went along. I loved the series so I am not completely disappointed as it was as well written as the rest of the series... I'm just not sure it's as good as the rest which I why I was slightly disappointed.

Not bad but is a little plodding

There is a not a great sense if urgency to survive and the monsters are even more vague in Book 4.
