Historia
Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

A wonderful treat
Revisado: 10-26-16
Terrific little novella. A detective story with just a little bit of fantasy. Keeps things simple but riveting, quick paced but also thoughtful. The characters feel like real, rounded people and not archetypes.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

IS THAT NOT SO?

A timeless masterpiece of gothic horror.
Revisado: 10-10-16
What needs be said about this book? It is the genre king and forefather of most modern horror. A lurid artwork of resplendent evil, fascinating characters, and the origin point of so many archetypes. Worth every moment of listening.

The last days of humanity
Revisado: 08-02-16

A brilliant, compelling, moving account about the end of the world and the birth of a new one. Really enjoyed the ensemble cast and their personal struggle to try to save whatever tiny fragment of mankind they could from a pitiless, uncaring universe that didn't even notice it was destroying them. Wonderfully interesting characters and some really deeply considered thoughts about what humanity might look like 5000 years in the future. It stumbled in a few places when Stephenson went on epic, pages-long information dumps about scientific topics, but those don't last long and don't interrupt the story significantly. Also really appreciate how hard the science was in this book, basically everything that happens is either based on real technology or based on things that we know are possible but don't have the industrial or engineering know-how to actually pull off yet.
Recommend this to anyone who likes science fiction, disaster stories, survival stories, or any combination thereof.

Historia
The story opens in the 19th century but quickly moves to the far future, where the sun has gone out, leaving the world in a darkness broken only by strange lights and mysterious fires. Over the ages, monsters and evil forces have descended to the Earth, compelling the surviving humans to take refuge in a great pyramid of imperishable metal built in a miles-deep chasm. The monsters surround the pyramid in a perpetual siege lasting for eons, waiting for the moment when its defenses will fail.

An amazing journey
Revisado: 08-02-16
A tremendously faithful retelling of a classic tale of endless horror and eternal love and triumph. All the same wonder and splendor of the original, but with modernized and cleaned up grammar, actual dialogue, and much stronger characterization.
Absolutely recommend.
