The year is 2252 and Loman Phin is in trouble. A washed-up channelship racer turned freelancer, he hits pay dirt with his latest mission: a fortune is on the line if he can transport 43 kilograms of human skin to a remote villa on Pluto's moon, Nix. Little does he know his very life is at stake when he gets caught up in an ancient feud, chased by a space vampire, and forced into a death-race by the king of Ceres. Meanwhile, danger is always hot on his heels in the form of a massive space freighter out for Loman's blood.

Ten flavors of horror brilliantly narrated
Revisado: 07-14-16
What made the experience of listening to Shadows and Teeth the most enjoyable?
The ten stories in this book are genuinely scary. They'll keep you up at night! And since ten authors collaborated in this book, you get as many distinct interpretations of horror. Some stories take a "real life" approach with psychotic killers, while others go for supernatural horror involving demons, magic, and time travel.
What other book might you compare Shadows and Teeth to and why?
I would compare this to the horror story compilations by Stephen King and Harlan Ellison.
Which character – as performed by Wyatt S. Gray – was your favorite?
I liked them all. It speaks to the narrator's talents that there were many characters and he personified each of them, giving them a distinct feel. The book's "bad guys" are especially enjoyable.
If you could take any character from Shadows and Teeth out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Nobody, because most of them are either dangerous human beings or malevolent entities. Still, it's fun to watch them in action.
Any additional comments?
This is a unique book and it's narrated beautifully. Definitely check it out.

Glance out the window of a speeding train. The landscape is never the same twice. That's the vibe behind Transit Dreams. This audiobook is a collection of short stories and vignettes. Some may make you laugh, others may make you think. They run the gamut from fantasy to comedy, from horror to cynicism, to just plain weird, and make all stops in between. All aboard. You're in for a ride.

Get aboard! Wonderful short stories!
Revisado: 06-01-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes! This is a collection of varied short stories, all of them wonderful. The book is a grab-bag mix of comedy, horror, and fantasy, like a train chugging along a varied landscape.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Many of the stories are written in first person, so I would have to say that the narrator is my favorite character.
Have you listened to any of John Feather’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first time listening to John Feather. I can say that his performance was amazing. I enjoyed it a whole lot. He has excellent command of intonation, timing, and character.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The story about the children acting up in the classroom was hilarious.
Any additional comments?
This is a wonderful audiobook. Bravo to the author and narrator!

Brash, young, and markedly sociopathic, Cyan has the makings of a full army commander if he lives long enough to be promoted. But when a close brush with death breaks his resolve, he is rendered unable to lead his men, let alone leave his tent, for weeks.

The jerk we love to hate, and one we hate to love
Revisado: 05-27-15
If you could sum up The Many Deaths of Cyan Wraithwate in three words, what would they be?
Blood, guts, & dark humor
Who was your favorite character and why?
Cyan Wraithwate. He's the jerk we love to hate, and one we hate to love. He's got a big axe, poor impulse control, and a twisted penchant for manipulating people. He's fun to watch in action.
What about Matt Weight’s performance did you like?
Matt Weight is a natural storyteller. His uniquely snarky delivery gives the book the feel of a Quentin Tarantino film. When the blood flies and the tension's high, he drills down every gritty detail. And his sarcastic deadpan has to be heard to be believed. Any way you slice it, Mr. Weight's performance will delight, amuse, and amaze.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The action sequences were flashy and intense, and perfectly narrated. The author's dark sense of humor will make you chuckle and cringe at the same time.
Any additional comments?
"The Many Deaths of Cyan Wraithwate" is an exceptional dark fantasy.

Charming, original, and absolutely hilarious
Revisado: 05-24-15
Would you listen to The Gullwing Odyssey again? Why?
Absolutely! The plot is witty and fun, and the humor is PG-rated. This is a romp of an adventure for all ages, full of pirates, wizards, dragons, flying ships, and many more surprises.
The narration is amazing! The narrator, Elliott Walsh, is a natural storyteller. He gives each character his own voice. His easygoing style brings a casual, breeze vibe to the story. When the action gets intense, he delivers a nail-biting performance.
What other book might you compare The Gullwing Odyssey to and why?
The humor is similar to "The Princess Bride," "Discworld," and "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy".
Have you listened to any of Elliott Walsh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't heard any others of Elliott Walsh's performances, but I am certain they are great, judging by his performance in "The Gullwing Odyssey."
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book is extremely funny, very tense in the action sequences, and many memorable moments.
Any additional comments?
Bravo to the author for having written this amazing book. Bravo to the narrator for this amazing performance.
