One of The Best Listens Ever

Revisado: 11-24-23

One of my favorite novels of all time in a completely immersive new format ! Fantastic from beginning to end ! Though a bit censored for the fragile PC audience , Ellroy’s trademark , no-holds-barred prose , loaded with alliteration and racial invective, still shines through! Ellroy’s baritone narration is wonderful and unique and the full cast was incredible , with special shout-outs for William Forsythe and Maya Hawke’s performances . The sound effects were amazing and detailed and the score fit perfectly! We need more productions like this - thank you for putting this together! Hats off to James Ellroy & Jimmy Jellinek for a job well done !

Surprisingly Great

Revisado: 09-14-23

I’ve read a hundred mob books, so it’s something when one of them really stands out . This is one of those books. Although there is plenty of mob intrigue , this book goes beyond the simple times, dates, and names. Because the author is Roy Demeo’s own son , there is a level of closeness and detail here simply not found in other sources. This is Roy Demeo up close , so you will get all sides of him , the father , the husband, the son, the gangster, and the tortured soul. It’s a deeply personal , unsettling journey , part true crime thriller , part heartbreaking memoir , about a boy who first wants to become his father , and a man who struggles to distance himself and become his own person . Use a credit , you’ll enjoy it .

An Absolute Must Listen - In My Top 5

Revisado: 02-07-23

This is one of the greatest novels of all time. It is mentioned on countless lists of “Best American Novels” and “Best Horror Novels”. This is an indispensable book , an example of the very best that the horror genre has to offer . This novel, along with IT (1986, another amazing Audible listen ) are considered to be Stephen King’s Masterpieces. Use the credit, dive in, and meet some of the most unforgettable characters in horror fiction.

Well Worth The Credit - A Classic

Revisado: 01-29-23

This horror story ( I should almost say fable) is a beautifully written warning about the dangers of collectivism and the loss of individual liberty, of being led down the path to destruction by a group of people who claim that they “only want what’s best for everyone.” Sound familiar ? The road to hell is truly paved with well meaning , good intentions. “Just give us your treasure , your precious belongings, your guns , and all will be well …. “ The Auctioneer …or America 2023 ?? If you like stories of the devil taking over from within , for example Young Goodman Brown (Hawthorne) or Needful Things (King) , you won’t want to miss this one!

McDowell is Great - Kimberly Wetherell Not So Much

Revisado: 01-23-23

Another Great Book my Michael McDowell , you can’t go wrong with him . Unfortunately , I didn’t care for Kimberly Wetherells narration at all . It didn’t ruin the book , McDowell is just too good , but she over reads everything and I felt at times like she was performing for a kindergarten class . She should stick to her ridiculous , presentist man shaming videos online and leave the narrating to better readers

The Scariest Book I’ve Ever Read

Revisado: 01-10-23

Hands down the most disturbing book I’ve ever read and so well written and perfectly paced that it’s impossible to put down . This is Ketchum’s seminal work - even better than The Lost and Off-Season ( which are both EXCELLENT) and not to be missed - an example of how powerful extreme horror fiction can be

Dark, Violent, Brilliant

Revisado: 12-30-22

This may be the most haunting novel I have ever read . Cormac McCarthy is America’s greatest living writer , a genius , a divine accident , He deserves a seat at the table with Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and William Faulkner , and this book is his masterpiece . Read it now .

I LOVE McDowell but…..

Revisado: 12-20-22

I love Michael McDowell . I was happy to discover him earlier this year , and I have read several of his books . He is excellent. This book however , is BY FAR the worst of them . The writing is excellent , as always , but what does good writing matter when the story itself simply goes nowhere . I applaud MM for the idea - but this story did nothing for me at all . Slow, uninteresting , pointless . Please give this author a chance if you haven’t read him before , but don’t start here . Listen to ‘The Elementals’ instead , narrated by RC Bray - that book blew my mind !!

One Of My Favorite Listens …

Revisado: 12-15-22

This is a great horror novel performed brilliantly by RC Bray. If you have never read Michael McDowell before, you’re in for a treat - southern gothic horror at its best . A new , refreshing take on a haunted house story - DON’T MISS IT !
