Short, sweet little mystery with everyday sentients

Revisado: 04-25-25

Always a fan of stories with everyday heroes. Even if you have strong opinions of Nickelback, it is worth a lister. Amber Benson has a voice that defines each character and you will never confuse one for another. Entertaining and short enough for a family road trip to a park or nearby city and back again (assuming your kids don't suddenly start asking what an alien sex toy might be like).

Great kinda gothy story book.

Revisado: 05-19-24

Gaiman never disappoints me so I am reviewing from a biased point of view. No doubt some of the folks I grew up with in Texas may object to a book about a kid whose family is killed in the first chapter and then is raised by monsters and ghosts. Folks who probably ain't seen enough westerns with Van Cleef.
It is a great collection of short stories about the life of an orphan and the similarities to Jungle Book are thin but present. If you don't like monsters but are comfortable with an orphan being raised by wolves, bears and a panther then look up Mr. Kipling.
The actors are each top notch and if you have watched enough British shows like Cadfael or Inside No 6 then you may recognize some of the talents.
Enjoy it on a rainy day or just before bed. Maybe with a chai and a scone. Warm and comforting listen at most times.

Period pulp adventure in the Lovecraft vein

Revisado: 09-13-22

After devouring all of the Dark Adventure Radio Theater Lovecraft adaptations I was looking hungrily for some other audio drama pulp story similar to their work. Graphic Audio does some of the best fully voiced works out there and I was not disappointed with this outing. I hope they do more. As for the story, it could have been better but I enjoyed it none the less. Please give it a shot if you enjoy pulpy little adventures.

Great Mothers Day Story

Revisado: 05-19-22

I will be honest, I am not the biggest fan of stories where the protagonist has to suffer alot. If they suffer too much then I feel like I am a participant in suffering just by observing. That said, out heroine does indeed suffer but Grady spaces it out in small but bitter doses like a medicine you hate. In the end the payoff is absolutely legendary. Do not piss off a southern mom. I actually picked this up on mother's day but my mom did not want to read it. I would think her love of true crime and thrillers would have made this a perfect match but she said she didn't like "supernatural" stories. It is light on the supernatural really and like some reviewers have noted it can be gory. Bahni is always a good reader and this is no exception. Enjoy.

For those who love the House of Wax

Revisado: 03-06-22

An obsessed artist. Exhibitors looking for a fresh exhibit. A dash of Lovecraft and some decent chills. What more do you need? For what you pay for it is worth so much more. Maybe turn the lights down on a dark night and let the story wash over you. Enjoy.

I really wanted to like this

Revisado: 09-14-21

I stopped at about an hour to the end. I enjoyed the comics when they got re-released and I thought the concept would work well as an audio drama. I really think it should but the production could have been better. A Foley artist with more to work with and a little transitional narration would have really improved the stories. I think some of the horror podcasts I have been listening to may have spoiled me. I am sorry because I really wanted to love it.

Like a southern soap opera with occasional horror.

Revisado: 07-15-21

This story is spread over 6 novella's. It spans roughly 50 years of a family history. It is over 30 hours long. Depending on your likes and dislikes it is totally worth it. Some crituques seem to be from folks thinking they were going into a Stephen King epic where horror is pervasive and constant. Nope. Maybe check out his book Amulet. This is really just a nice story about a Southern family weathering 50 years and just happens to have a few murderous mermaids and equally murderous ghosts. The way the story is delivered almost feels like a Mark Twain style yarn being spun by someone catching you up on the going ons of the richest family in town and as someone raised in the south it was oddly comforting but it is not for everyone. I hope that helps you decide on picking this one.

A good fairy tale mystery with great narration

Revisado: 06-08-21

Seanan is always a good storyteller and the narrator does a great job of giving each voice its own life. For those already familiar with other fairy tale modern fantasy stories like Fables or Grimm, I recommend you to give it a shot. If only for the reformed (kinda) wicked stepsister.

Ok but could have been better

Revisado: 05-13-21

I enjoy a good mystery and especially period mysteries with a British accent. This one was just merely ok. Not bad but kinda felt like an extra long fan fiction. The concept and mystery and even the romance all felt taped together and drawn out to make for a longer story. I don't think I will follow the further adventures but I acknowledge that a first story in a series can be weak sometimes as it usually establishes characters and relationships so maybe the other stories are better.
