Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 21
A scoundrel with a secret seeks the key to escaping the end of the world. An exiled gunslinger, waiting to die, is called back for one more job. A radioactive man is sold into service as an assassin by a mysterious cult.
As their stories intertwine, all three are caught between rival mobs, an invincible killer, and a plot to upset an uneasy peace between once-warring nations. While far above the planet, a phantasmal apocalypse looms.

A Dark, Gritty, Wild Ride.
Revisado: 07-23-14
Would you listen to Fantasmagoria again? Why?
Yes. There are so many details in this book that make up a rich setting. Listening once is a treat. Listening again cements those details you may have overlooked.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fantasmagoria?
The cannibalistic fairies kept in the lab definitely got my attention.
Any additional comments?
Not for children, Fantasmagoria provides unending entertainment for adults. The first scene takes you through a graveyard with two men and a bag of phalluses, on their way to sell human flesh to a jackal-type humanoid. Next you see the scientist with his fairy specimens, feeding one fairy to another. This book is full of antiheroes, and the storylines all have dark grit with the prevailing morals. It provides an interesting juxtaposition that keeps you on your toes.

This short steampunky adventure with a flavour of thirties movie serials was inspired by a Twitter conversation the author had with singer Thea Gilmore in early 2013, and then by her song "Start As We Mean To Go On". As the story progressed, other Thea songs lent their titles easily to the remaining three episodes, and more song titles found their way into the text. The name "Moth Girl' came out of an anagram of Thea's name in fact Ratporchrico's opening phrase in this story is that very anagram.

Steampunk Superheroes!
Revisado: 06-17-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It's campy and fun, all the way through. A nice, easy listen that's perfect for a workout or a commute.
Have you listened to any of Matt Thurston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't heard a bad performance from Matt Thurston. He definitely knows what he's doing.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A rollicking ride, on the wings of a giant bat!
Any additional comments?
I'm not much into steampunk, but I've read other works by Michael Wombat. Each is a load of fun, so I knew this would be as well. Moth Girl didn't disappoint. It's short enough to get through in one sitting, and is campy and action-packed all the way through. The narrative is easy to follow, and the voices are amazing. Though there is a moment of sexiness, it's nothing above PG-13, and can be listened to with children in the room.

American doctor Tara Moore wants to disappear. On the run from an abusive husband, she seeks shelter on a windswept Irish island and dismisses the villagers' speculation that she is descended from a selkie - a magical creature who is bewitching the island. But when a ghostly woman appears to her with a warning, Tara realizes it was more than chance that brought her to this island.

Comforting and Engaging Voice, Exciting Story
Revisado: 05-06-14
If you could sum up The Selkie Spell in three words, what would they be?
Enchanting, Engaging, Exciting
What did you like best about this story?
The character interactions are amazing, and the author's descriptions pull you right in.
What does Hollis McCarthy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voice is comforting and easy to listen to, so you aren't distracted from the story because of vocal issues. She changes tone for the different characters, so you know exactly what's going on line by line.
