Four decades after it first shook the nation, then the world, William Peter Blatty's thrilling masterwork of faith and demonic possession returns in an even more powerful form. Raw and profane, shocking and blood-chilling, it remains a modern parable of good and evil and perhaps the most terrifying novel ever written.

One of the best audio books I’ve ever listened to. Of course the story is a classic and so good, but the reading was phenomenal. I’m sure I’ll listen to it again closer to Halloween. :)

I could not stop reading/listening to this story, it is SO good! Villainy, double crossing, scandalous forbidden lust and twisting Victorian turns of fate, it’s like a fast-paced Dickens novel on cocaine, but from a woman’s perspective. The narration is also wonderful. Read it!

In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

Great Essays, Awkward Narrator
Revisado: 06-29-18
Solnit's writing is uplifting without being "motivational" or sappy, grounded in experience with real global politics and her own life. I was a little disappointed that this was less coherent as a book than "Hope in the Dark" (it's collected, previously published essays), but there is a thread of connection running between them all that makes it worthwhile to read together. The narrator's tone and voice, however, were completely off. Imagine the nauseatingly up-beat voice of a pharmaceutical advertisement reading you statistics on rape and violence...

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 14
An orphan girl with a mind for anthracite falls into the hands of a cult worshipping an entombed god. In the Pacific Northwest, evergreens lull prepubescent girls into their trunks to serve as wombs. A suburban housewife troubled by her present encounters the sixteen year-old girl she ached to touch in her dreams. These ten stories promise to indulge a listener's sensibilities, their fears and desires.

Dark Stories, Not Awesome Narrator
Revisado: 02-16-17
Lewellyn's fiction is, as many have noted, a kind of nihilistic erotica where sex and the emptiness of death commingle in truly disturbing ways. Great stuff. Unfortunately, the narrator has a way of making all the dialogue sound either whiny or cartoonish, and the repetitive rhythm of the reading does no justice to the horror of the tales, instead making them seem perfunctory.
