About this listen

Things take a depressing turn at Deadeye Manor after the shocking return of Mr. Weirdie and the Enchantress. Barnacle Melancholy and Garlic are put to the treacherous task of finding a lost family fortune buried somewhere within the manor, only to awaken some vengeful spirits with a diabolical plan all their own. Meanwhile, Miss Emily has decided that disguising her sunny personality as a wretched criminal is the best way to rescue the triplets, only to find herself in a high-stakes roller-boogie contest with her most loathsome enemy. Listen at your own risk, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I like that it has good plot twists but I don't understand why they need the parents to keep surviving 🤑🤷

Maybe This Is a Bit Too Weird? Nope, It's Perfect!

We're big fans of The Weirdies series over here, and were surprised when we started the audiobook and there was a different narrator. We love Kate Winslet and I couldn't place the new voice until I went back and read the new narrator is none other than Helena Bonham Carter!!! The story explained the narrator change in such a clever way that totally fit in with the series' vibe. The plot of this installment is hilarious and ridiculous (roller boogie skate-off!) while maintaining its dark, yet kid appropriate tone.

Love this series!

My children and I absolutely love this series, though we where disappointed to find it had a new narrator. Don’t get me wrong. Helena Bonham. Carter is amazing, but we were already invested in the voices, life, and spirit that Kate Winslet infused into the story, hoping she’ll make her way back!

Kids loved every part of the storey

Liked the storey twists and turns and the continuation of the theme. Would have much preferred if Kate Winslet performed it as she brings everything to life much better.

Loves it

I love it all I listen to it to calm down and focus on something less stressful or whatever I’m trying not to focus on. The only thing I noticed that actually just bothered me was the personality change of Barnacle. In the first story he said he loved examining the head bumps on people and telling their broad aspects of their future. In this one it says he likes the human brain. Shouldn’t that be something more melancholy ish? Anyway it’s just a sentence does not affect overall. Loved it!
