Cemetery Dance

Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Unabridged on 12 CDs

Preston & Child are my all time favorite writing duo. They never disappoint me. Rene Auberjonois is the reader and he is Pendergast. No one else could ever do that voice. In this latest episode several people are killed by what can only be described as a "zombie". All evidence points to a cultist group that live deep in the heart of NYC.

UR

UR by Stephen King

I can never resist a new Stephen King and this one was even more intriguing because it was written for the Kindle and you can only read it on the Kindle. I think he just wanted to write a Kindle book. The main character, Wesley, purchases a Kindle. His is pink and they only come in white, but he doesn't pay any attention to that little oddity. But it comes with new books written by authors long dead and newspapers that tell the future. Nifty little item until you read where someone you love is going to die and you try to change the future to save her.

The Sorority

The Sorority Trilogy by Tamara Thorne

Ok, started this one just to see if it might be usable in a BookObsessed series swap. I had no idea if the books were any good or not. I had never heard of them before I got them, nor heard of the author. They had been sitting on my bookshelf for months. I thought I'd read 50 or so pages of the first one just to see and I sped right through all three. Three books in one week. That is a new record for me.

The books built on each other. They were a mixture of ghost story, wizards, Arthurian history and horror. The story was really intense and kept me interested (obviously). A very pleasant surprise.

Duma Key

Duma Key by Stephen King
Unabridged Audio - 18CDs

Stephen King as always been one of my favorite listens. I never really got into his Gunslinger series, but his free standing books I love. The last few however, have been a disappointment. Not so with Duma Key. A very, very good story about a man who looses his arm in a crane accident. His wife divorces him and he moves to a remote island to recooperate and piece back together his life. He buys some paint and canvas and begins a new life as an artist. But shortly after, strange things begin to happen and the ghost that haunts Duma Key threatens Edgar and his two daughters. Classic King -- I loved it!

Velocity

Velocity by Dean Koontz
Unabridged Audio - 6 cassettes

Koontz writes the scariest stories sometimes. My favorites are the ones like this one, a perfectly plausable, it could really happen tale of murder and mystery.

Billy Wilds gets off work one night to find a note on his windshield. If he does nothing, a young school teacher will be murdered. If he goes to the police, an elderly lady that likes to do charity work for the church will be murdered. His choice, what should he choose, this is no joke.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
Unabridged audio - 5 CDs

Very good story even though at first I thought it was just a re-wright of an old Vincent Price movie, Last Man on Earth (the movie was actually taken from the book, lol). The world's population has been infected by a plague and everyone except Robert Neville have become one of the living dead or vampires. I was a bit disappointed in the ending, but how else could it really end?

Heart Shaped Box

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill

Audiobook -- Unabridged -- 9 CDs -- ll hours -- Narrated by Stephen Lang

Awesome. Reminisent of Stephen King at his best, his son Joe Hill has written an awesome ghost story.

Aging rock star, Judas Coyne, buys a ghost from the internet. The dead man's suit arrives in a heart shaped box. The ghost has business with Jude. He claims his step-daughter, Anna, killed herself because of him. He says he is going to kill Jude and everyone who helps him.
