Intriguing and thoughtful...

Revisado: 08-01-23

A well-written and suspenseful tale with a wealth of details and overall emotional sensitivity. Reminiscent at times of certain vintage "Twilight Zone" episodes.

A cross-genre wonder...

Revisado: 03-04-23

I'm normally not a big fan of fantasies, but this book is an exception! A work of Stephen King's maturity, "Fairy Tale" crosses the genres of fantasy, horror, and even science fiction to provide a successful and powerful unification that is intelligent, awesome, compelling, and wildly entertaining. There is simply so much here to appreciate on numerous levels. I'm so glad to have experienced this book!

Memorable and richly nuanced

Revisado: 04-19-22

Approaching Homer's epic tale is a daunting task, but Madeline Miller manages to make it fresh and relatable, it's characters vivid, alive, and compelling. It works on so many levels! While one can struggle to finish many books and never turn to them again, this treatment is one that I know I will want to visit again in the future. The narration is equally powerful, and successful on all levels despite the challenges of the work. I regret only not having turned to this powerful and masterful audio book sooner!

A multi-dimensional powerhouse...

Revisado: 10-30-21

Not what I expected but so much more, "The Werewolf's 15 Minutes" blends horror, humor, and social commentary seamlessly. It exists in the rarified realm of where science and society meet the paranormal, much like the werewolf confounding our perceptions and defying easy description. There's more biting (forgive me) reflections here on the nature of lycantrophy and the human condition than in more pretentious works several times the length. "Werewolf" is entertaining yet thought-provoking and engagingly performed; not just a puff piece. Prepare to be amazed...two paws up!

Great for fans of sci fi - horror!

Revisado: 10-17-21

I enjoyed this as much or more than any audiobook I've experienced. Intelligently and well-written, and equally well-performed. The comparisons to "The Thing" are apt, with a bit more "Rambo" thrown in. Good and three dimensional characters that are memorable. The story picks up momentum as it goes on, and It's easy to get swept away in this one. I'd love to see a big screen adaptation of the story, and there's room for a sequel at the end. Certainly glad that I picked this up!

Night of the Wolf...

Revisado: 05-08-21

A bit too much podcast business talk at the beginning, but the tales themselves are chilling and creepy with a richness of detail and an atmospheric aura of authenticity...compelling listening!

Very true to the original source materials

Revisado: 11-25-20

It's good to see Ripley back in action again, likewise Jonesy the cat...but the evil AI programming of the android Ash still exists through a download, and is actively implementing Special Order 937! This is a great and believable extension of the original source materials, both respectful and true to the originals.

Starts out slowly, but gathers speed and intensity

Revisado: 11-24-20

I found that the audiobook dragged a bit at first, with the xenomorphs not even showing up until well into the story. It belabored the backgrounds, histories, politics, and attitudes of some of the characters a bit too much, but did round out some of the backstory missing previously. Once the aliens are discovered, however, the tale really takes off, and is a dynamic and exciting rendition. The production values are good, and the acting performances captivating as the sound and fury of the confrontations sweep over you...
