More is less, that is best in life

Revisado: 10-12-24

My first foray into The Cimmerian’s world and wow!

A very short but excellent story. The narrator was great. Peak enunciation and the serious vocal tone really helps get you involved into the story.

A lot of narrators will try to be theatrical with this sort of material but that’s a big hit or miss. If it’s a goofy read-it can eviscerate an otherwise good story. Not this one, his approach to the story really elevates the material and helps the overall immersion.

This is gonna be a high recommended for anyone who wants to ease into the Conan stories like myself.

We’re All Monsters Here.

Revisado: 06-29-24

I picked this up on a whim in trying to use my backlog of credits. I was scrolling through when this title popped up as Recommended. I listen to the preview and the rest is history. The art of the slow burn is nearly lost but not completely, this book is a prime example.

The horror simmers, it stirs you into itself slowly and methodically. Without giving too much away, this book felt being in a house of cursed mirrors. With each chapter a new reflection that’s a little more distorted, a little more cracked, a little more horrible until you’re left with an image utterly monstrous.

A group of people set out to make horror film and in the end, the film makes them into the horror.

If you like monsters, if you horror, you’ll like this. The only negatives would be the slightly ham-fisted modern-day-world weary-cynical way the main character sometimes talks in can be a bit annoying. In light of the ending though, I think that can be forgiven.

Succinct and captivating curation of history.

Heartbreaking, inspiring, and sobering are how I’d best describe this very Succinct and captivating curation of Christian/Islamic history. A recommend read for any history buff and a must read for all Christians, Catholic and Orthodox alike.

An assortment of good times.

Revisado: 02-28-20

Vampires, two headed dogs, shape shifting serpents, burning girls, and a bevy of other vicious beasts along with labyrinthine mythologies are just the frosting on the cake. The poignant moments of humanity are the cake. Each one feels like a good substantive story peppered with equal parts humor, mystery and gore. If you’re a fan of horror, folklore, or monsters then give it a shot. If you’re a fan of HELLBOY then it’s mandatory.

Superpowerful!

Great story that takes the superhero genre and makes it personable and humanizes the idea of a super hero. The narrator surprises you with his masterful way of dipping in and out various characters. A must listen for fans of superheroes and fans of good storytelling!
