one of the most entertaining, and hilarious books I have ever listened to! Absolute perfection for narration.

Nothing. it was wonderful.perhaps the chapters could have been broken up a little more for easier navigation.

perfection

Revisado: 05-27-24

Somehow the author managed to create terrifying moments in crowded daylight places. The characters felt real, with good and bad characteristics in each. I read alot of horror and this is one of the most frightening books I have ever had the pleasure of finishing.

Genuinely scary southern Gothic family drama

Revisado: 05-19-24

I live a couple blocks way from beach in Southern Califormia and thanks to this dang book, I can add sand to the list of things that can kill me.

things I loved--realistic family dynamics. really scary big bad. cool, loving and supportive dad. a believably terrifying situatiom. things that are problematic--there some artifacts from the 70s that wouldn't fly in 2024 like a magical black character, an extremely closeted gay person, and a dad who shares quaaludes with his sassy 7th grade daughter, but it's all done with love so don't through the baby out with the bathwater.

Absolutely Fantastic

Revisado: 11-17-23

The cast of narrators were able to create unique, identifiable characters that were compelling and sympathetic. I was able to tell which character was speaking easily, and grew to love even the pompous, arrogant asses. The story of Hercules looms so large over the entire Greek mythos that I did not believe it would be possible to provide more than a cursory glance in only one volume, however, I was wrong. This retelling is poignant, exciting, humorous, and tragic simultaneously. The author's ability to give Herc life through the multitude of vignettes is incredible. I am a huge fan of myth-retellings and this one just shot to the top of my list. I'll be relistening to this book again and again, and I expect that I will cry each time.

excellent narrators, intriguing tale of inhumanity

Revisado: 11-02-23

I thoroughly enjoyed this title. Each interviewee had a specific voice. I knew where it was headed but enjoyed the journey and at the end felt like it was more than trashy genre and had something to say about guilt, shame, leadership, tribal urge, and the roll of violence in survival. I hope they make a good movie

King redux

Revisado: 02-26-23

There is nothing new here nor particularly masterful. This book is like Mom's meatloaf. It's safe. It's comfortable. It's familiar. You know what to expect but that doesn't deter you nor will it leave you dissatisfied. You might feel a little declassé, though, but no one needs to know about this guilty pleasure.

several wonderful complete books woven beautifully

Revisado: 11-23-22

some spoilers

This is not a zombie story. It is a young adult coming of age tale, a action packed adventure story, a prison memoir, and poignant family drama. I recommend it highly.

dark urban magical horror

Revisado: 10-25-22

I enjoyed the story very much and even when there was a bit more telling than showing through dialogue, it was still enchanting. I feel inspired by the aesthetic of House of Hollow (faerie/goblin core). The narrator has a beautiful clipped British accent that I absolutely love.

looking forward to more from both the author and the reader.

monologs and overwrought performance

Revisado: 09-12-22

a great idea ruined by overacting, some ridiculous choice in accents, and repetitive internal monologs. the big bad is unbelievably powerful in the beginning but loses any sense of danger as plot armor takes affect.
