Very Good

Revisado: 05-30-18

I enjoyed this short story very much. What starts out like a hardboiled detective story gingerly weaves into a supernatural horror story that was for me one of the most original stories heard in a long time. Scott Odell's performance was great. This was my first Bryan Alaspa story, but it won't be the last.

Warning!

Revisado: 05-16-16

What crap! I'm embarrassed to have purchased this book. I should have looked up the author before purchasing it and, then, I might have figured out that he knows nothing at all about Lewis Carroll, Victorian culture, or anything one would suppose someone writing about symbolism in Carroll's most important work would know. What little he does say of any consequence about the work could have been gleaned from a Wikipedia article. Inscrutable, unsubstantial, in fact, the writing of a conspiracy nut posing as an authority on the occult. It's nonsense and Audibel should not even be carrying it. I could have bought a nice cup of coffee with my three bucks.

Great Book, Great Performance!

Revisado: 04-24-16

This is one of the finest reads by a new author I've come across in a long time. If you're a fan of James Lee Burke, you really need to check out Dayne Sherman. The story is great, authentic southern gothic, and Charles Kahlenberg's performance is terrific!

Unique Stories

Revisado: 03-03-15

An amazing collection of stories, (at a great price), strung together by a recurring theme that pops up in unexpected places from beginning to end. For me, these are like no other stories I'm familiar with and I enjoyed them greatly. There is some gore and a bit of sexual content, so if those things bother you, you might want to steer clear. However, if you're looking for short stories that are genuinely terrifying, this could be your book.

A Must-Listen

Revisado: 05-20-13

In spite of the many great novels, novellas, short stories, and essays produced by King over his long career, this short piece of writing is definitely some of his finest. Not kidding -- this is a must-listen!

Awful Narrator

Revisado: 10-26-12

I really can't rate the story because the narrator was so awful I couldn't finish it. If you like the villains in your stories voices to sound like Squidword from Sponge Bob Squarepants, this is the narrator for you.

Really loved this book!

Revisado: 09-16-12

Lindqvist's prose is wonderful and his storytelling is meticulous -- it unfolds so gradually that one may not notice a turn in the story until it's well underway. What a crafty writer! Great book!

Audible Should Do a Better Job

Revisado: 08-13-12

I gave this book a mediocre rating which isn't really fair, and were I not required to rate it in order to make this post, I wouldn't have. If I were a young reader, say fourteen or fifteen, I am certain I'd have given it a high rating. This is not a book for adult readers. I'm not saying an adult reader could not enjoy it -- I enjoyed some of the Harry Potter books. However, the description of the book had me believing this was something a little deeper than it is.

Audible should do a better job of putting books into categories that allow its members to choose better. If you read the description of this book, there's nothing in it to tell you that it's for young readers, or, at least, nothing that I was able to find. Anyway, in my opinion, this is probably a fine read for young people. Not so much for myself.

Imagine it with another voice

Revisado: 06-10-12

Were you to read this piece, I'm certain you would hear Burgess' voice to be quite different from the voice of the narrator of this audio version.

Shouldn't have done it.

Revisado: 05-13-12

Moody's first in this series was, at least to me, unique in its concept and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This second book, however, didn't nearly engage me like the first, and, in fact, seems in concept much like McCameron's Swan Song or a dozen other apocalyptic novels out there. It's too bad. I hate (no pun intended) to say it, but as wonderful a book as was Haters, I think Moody should have stopped there and gone onto something else. Dog Blood is not a good second installment and I have no desire to purchase the third installment. In fact, I'm getting a little tired of this marketing strategy. Moody is too good for this. Dog Blood is a bomb.
