About this listen
It was 1862 and the town of Sickville had many Gold Mines that thrived in an overabundance of wealth until greed took over and friends and neighbors became enemies. There was always someone standing guard by their mines, but there were too many people not in on the cut. So, that's when things got ugly and people that used to be friends started dying just to get their hands on the gold. The sound of gun fire could be heard on a daily basis, but many of the greedy townspeople that were killing to get in on a piece of the action had no mining skills so the town of Sickville went belly up in just a year.
The only place where business was thriving was the cemetery. A town that had a population of a thousand was now in the hundreds. Many of the survivors that survived the bloodshed left town out of fear of not knowing when their day was up to be buried in the cemetery that was quickly running out of space for their dead.

Story4 out of 5 stars 843
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,456
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Production makes the story.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes because the audio production brings you into the setting and gives you the right tone for the book
Would you be willing to try another book from Drac Von Stoller? Why or why not?
Perhaps. I don't particularly like this genre, but I like the way he tells the story.
What about Dan Absalonson’s performance did you like?
His tone was perfect and the voices were well done. I enjoyed the suspense that he portrayed.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were parts that made me shudder toward the end.

It didn't work for me-- sort of.
Any additional comments?
Grave Robbers is a very quick listen (or read) and is easy to follow. The writing is clear, but I have to admit, the style was not particularly resonant to me. There weren't any glaring issues with the style, mostly just little quirks that grated on my. For example, the author always called it "the town of Sickville". It was never just "Sickville" or "the town". Similarly, the interactions with an old man always described him as "the old man". Even the characters, when talking about him, always said, "the old man". It was never "him" or anything else. It got repetitive and, as a listener, pulled me out of the story.
As for the story itself, it felt incomplete. It took me a few minutes to figure out what had me slightly off-balance about the story, then it hit me: it wasn't really plot- or character-drived. This story is completely setting-driven. That in itself isn't bad, but I think it's not a short story. I didn't feel a ton of real tension, but I think the author was limiting himself with the length. I would read this story if it were expanded into a novella or novel. I do believe that this short story alone could be fleshed out into a truly intriguing work. But as a short story, it didn't work for me.

Average story brought to life by talented narrator
Would you try another book from Drac Von Stoller and/or Dan Absalonson?
I'd listen to more by Dan Absalonson, definitely - I might give Drac Von Stoller another chance - I do like short stories.
Any additional comments?
Would have been better fleshed out, IMO. I liked the way the narrator gave heft to the story with his vocal style.

Top Notch Narration/Production!!
"Grave Robbers" reminded me of old time radio theater for the modern age - sharp and absorbing from beginning to end. I love the seamless weaving of Drac Von Stoller's gritty, haunting prose coupled with Dan Absalonson's spot-on narration. The dark/moody music and accompanying sound effects add the perfect chilling touch to this top-notch production. This is a must have for all horror/suspense fans!
