Title: Island Red

Author: Matt Serafini

Narrator: Steve White

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-17

Publisher: Beacon Audiobooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

It's a species that has been around for 80 million years. It has over 300 teeth in 25 rows to trap its prey. It has very rarely been found in depths above 160 feet, meaning the frilled shark has never posed a threat to humans. Until now.

The residents of Crystal Key, Florida didn't think there was anything to worry about. A missing girl with a troubled past was easy to dismiss, but that was only the beginning. When fishermen disappear and two girls are attacked on open water, everyone assumes the culprit is a predator stalking their piece of the Atlantic. But as an offseason hurricane descends, and communications with the mainland are severed, Crystal Key is about to discover that terror doesn't only come from below.

Island Red

Hold your breath. Until it's time to scream.

Members Reviews:

It's "Slither" meets "Jaws"!!!

This review will contain minor spoilers but read it regardless of what I say because youâll be in for one hell of a time!

Plot:

Reggie is off to Crystal Key, Florida after his mother has a special date with her lover. He is sent to his father who is distant from his mother. Ya know, divorces can do that!

Anyway, seemingly out of the ocean blue a prehistoric Frill Shark begins to wreak havoc and tear tourists/citizens apart!

If things couldnât possibly get any more out of this world, guess again. Thatâs right! An alien parasite has made itself a permanent resident of Crystal Key, Florida and is turning the locals into thinking zombies!

Can Reggie, his father, a hit man and his lover as well as a nearby ship that seems to know all too much be able to stop this attack?!?!

Iâm not sold on the concept of zombies in my shark stories. At least not yet in film!

Review:

Itâs Slither meets Jaws in this naughty and nautical adventure of action, gore and great characters!

Reggie is one of those rare cases that acting like a little adult helps in this case. He needed to in order to survive. He even takes down a few of the undead. Still, heâs a kid at heart with a crush back home and a love of video games.

Luther, Reggieâs father is a character we can feel remorse for. He desperately wants to rekindle at least his relationship he used to have with his son. If he could, Iâm sure he would try to win back his ex-wife too.

Manuel is the assassin with the bartender girlfriend who has a son of her own. Heâs desperately searching for his target but it isnât all too clear what his intentions are for her. He hates himself and doesnât care if he dies. He just wantâs to finish this one last task.

The characters on the ship that is settled near the exit of Crystal Key donât come in to play until the last fifty to sixty pages but their presence is felt throughout all the hell that is unleashed in this book.

So, with all the great characters is there any downside to their development? Sometimes it takes a while for Manuelâs persistent investigation to just get to the point. There are some other characterâs that talk for a bit but then something crazy happens and you're thrust back into the action.

Thereâs also a decent build-up for an oncoming storm. It seems secondary to the importance of everything else in the story and couldâve been emitted and that wouldnât change much.

Our killer shark for this book is a Frill Shark. You know? The kind of shark that is prehistoric and was first discovered in Japan in 2004.

Publisher's Summary:

Bathos! Crippling ennui! Mind-numbing drudgery!

Brad Renfield is a white, middle-aged, lower middle class, Midwestern man stuck in Gethsemane, Ohio. Most of his friends have either died or moved away and his one remaining friend is so depressed he's on the brink of suicide. Brad hasn't really given much thought to the chasm of emptiness within him. He's mostly been a loner, content with his job and his tiny apartment. He's never thought much about being part of something. He's never really thought about the bigger picture. Until he meets a beautiful (and possibly psychotic) girl named Dawn. Dawn leads Brad into a vicious world as hedonistically carnal as it is brutal, forcing Brad to decide if he's going to dig deep within himself and continue to resist the community he's remained apart from his entire life or embrace it and accept his new reality.

Members Reviews:

a quality anthology!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The stories were well-written and varied enough to keep things interesting. The narration was good but i have to give a special mention to the score, subtle enough to not distract from the narration but beautifully done. The whole thing is beautifully produced; i listen to a lot of audiobooks and this could be the most spine tinglingly atmospheric i've come across. Highly recommended

Fantastic collection of dark stories

'Shadows at the door' is an anthology that has a dark thread running through its black heart. The stories all fit remarkably well together with the same 'fear of the unknown' vibe. It is very well produced, the narration is generally very good and it's just the right length. Fantastic and surprising.

Members Reviews:

very well done

Actually better than expected, pacing was good and didn't feel tedious. Story was engaging. Would recommend.

Its good, but...

The stories overall were not bad, the only thing that did get me is I have heard one or two of them in other places or anthologies, ( I don't like repeats). The narration was good, the tone of the voice could be dry in spots but it wasn't terrible and I have heard other stories by the same person and enjoyed them. Over all this is a good listen.

Awful narration, toneless and dull.

These stories seem incomplete and narration was terrible. Wouldn't read this book again, sorry to say.

Title: The Listener and Other Stories

Narrator: Finn J.D. John

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 03-27-17

Publisher: F.W. von Junzt Bibliothekspresse (Pulp-Lit Productions)

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

First published in 1917 by Alfred A. Knopf, this collection of Algernon Blackwood's short stories includes some of his most beloved classics:

"The Listener"

A reclusive, impoverished writer is delighted to find an inexpensive home in an old building at the heart of London; but he soon comes to understand why it's so cheap....

"Max Hensig: Bacteriologist and Murderer"

A tabloid newspaper reporter is assigned to cover the trial of a frightful psychotic murderer, and earns his implacable enmity. Then the murderer is set free, and the deadly cat-and-mouse game begins....

"The Willows"

A pair of adventurers on a canoe trip down the Danube discover, after stopping for the evening on a small island covered with tiny willow trees, that they are trespassers at the gate of unknown and hostile forces from beyond the Earth.

"The Insanity of Jones"

An mild-mannered clerk in a fire insurance office becomes convinced, through the intervention of the ghost of a deceased co-worker, that his manager was an official of the Spanish Inquisition who tortured him to death in a past life - so he buys a gun.

"The Dance of Death"

A young man, just diagnosed with a weak heart and feeling despondent about it, goes to a dance, where he meets the woman of his dreams. But is she real, or a ghost? And if she is a ghost, what is he?

"The Old Man of Visions"

The old man didn't talk much, but through him one could see beyond the veils of the material world. But he was careful to warn: "Should you seek to explain me to another, you must lose me beyond recall."

"May Day Eve"

A skeptical, materialistic physician, on the way to visit a dreamy folklore professor, strays from the road on May Day Eve and finds himself wandering helplessly into a strange and terrifying spirit world.

"Miss Slumbubble - and Claustrophobia"

Miss Daphne Slumbubble is on holiday when for no apparent reason a ghostly terror creeps into her soul, causing her to try to leap from a train. But why?

Members Reviews:

Fine work; Reprinting deserves greater attention

While I applaud any actual reprinting of Blackwood's original anthologies (although all may be freely available online), it should not be too much to expect a simple albeit essential Table of Contents, which is curiously absent in this book; and that being:

The Listener [p. 3]

Max Hensig -- Bacteriologist and Murderer [p. 29]

The Willows [p. 75]

The Insanity of Jones: A Study in Reincarnation [p. 121]

The Dance of Death [p. 145]

The Old Man of Visions [p. 155]

May Day Eve [p. 165]

Miss Slumbubble -- and Claustrophobia [p. 187]

The Woman's Ghost Story [p. 203]

Other than that unusual and inexcusable omission, this edition appears just fine.

UPDATE::

Stark House Press is due to release their print of Blackwood's _The Empty House, &c._ along with _The Listener, &c._ in Spring 2014. I bought all other Blackwood anthologies from them --- highly recommended.

The long claws' skill, speed, strength, and intelligence make them powerful predators unlike anything in human history.

Members Reviews:

Story: Fine - Performance: Horrible

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The book - yes. Seems like a good story and decent enough writing.This Audio book - NO! The performance drove me to distraction.

Would you recommend Long Claws to your friends? Why or why not?

Not in this particular form. All due to the performance.

How could the performance have been better?

Honestly, I had to wonder if this performance was not being done by a machine. Like someone read all the individual words in the dictionary into a computer and then had the computer read the book based on that. Inflections were all wrong. Cadence was horrible. Pauses in the middle of sentences. So bad that I was only able to get about 1/3 of the way through the book before stopping. I could not stand it any further.

Do you think Long Claws needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

at this point - no

Any additional comments?

The performance ruined the book for me and drove me from listening. Honestly, listening to this book reminded me most of the old William Shatner record; singing in the same sort of choppy cadence. If you have ever heard that - imagine it as a 10+ hour audio book.

A great follow up to a great novel

As much as I enjoyed Stillwater, Fragile blows it away. Mia is rapidly becoming one of my favorite protags, and I cant wait to see what comes next.

as for the narrator.. uh can Veronica Giguere EVER do less than a stellar job?

THE TEXAS HEAT THREATENED HER SANITY

HALF A DECADE

Three good stories, I would give each one a B+. Not a bad one in the bunch. The author is a good word smith. Each story takes place in Texas and each has a weird little twist. I enjoyed the stories and hope audible gets some more of his writings. I believe right now, he has four books out. I also enjoyed the narrator.

different

Stepping into the Twilight Zone. Good set of short stories. Different from my normal read, but I enjoyed it.

Good stories!

Very enjoyable stories, remind me of Stephen King's shorts. Well worth the price. Good narration as well.

Reminds you a bit of a TV twilight episode

These are fun stories to listen to with some surprise endings. The third story I needed to listen to a second time to get all the connections but it was well worth it.

Very different

This is very different to what I normally listen too( that being murder mysteries). This is 3 short stories based in the paranormal world. Gets you thinking but doesn't really keep you up at night so not scary. I did enjoy them and will look out for more by this author when I want a change from detective based stories as they were well written.
