About this listen

This audiobook contains eight fantasy and sci-fi short stories perfect for your morning commute. Each story is self contained and lasts for about 1 hr of listening.

Pale Rider - Two worlds collide in this action short story. Zombie destruction has leveled humanity. Gasoline fuel is no longer an option, but humanity must find a way to survive. In response to trying to restore our way of life, we engineer franken-monsters. Enter a world of dinosaur riders and zombie apocalypse.

Magic Factory - In a factory full of magic, some magic is bound to slip out and cause havoc. Magical industry knowledge is precious and hard to find. Even the most minor of spells require an enormous non-disclosure waiver. Magic factories are known to be high risk because of the stigma of sharing information. Unfortunately for the workers at this factory, that includes information on how to be safe.

Summer Sword - An otherworldly friendship is forged under stress and fear. Wyatt, a recently unemployed camper, is looking for an escape from responsibilities. Thunder Born is a wind esper looking to escape from those who want to murder him. Together they start something surpassing both of them.

Floating Ink - The world was cookie cutter ready for an alien invasion. Xenophen leveraged humanity’s growing into a knowledge economy. To control us, they simply needed to offer a better education.

Vampire Caving - Join a risk taking vampire as he explores why vampires exist.

Swamp Monster Voodoo - A voodoo swamp creature battles for his way of life. An explorer battles for the swamp creature's treasure.

Frankenstein IT Support - Frankenstein's monster is retrained to provide IT support. After all, if you can't find good help, why not build it?

Moonlight Motor - A fair fight doesn’t start with hunger. That will to live drives a desperate, hungry man to find solace on a train. The only problem is that blending in with the passengers may be worse than getting caught.

A nice variety-pack anthology of short fantasy

I spend quite a lot of time listening to audio books, most evenings and also to & from work. I often listen to the same books more than once. As a collection of short tales I actually found the listening experience most enjoyable on my commute because it gave me a complete tale from start to finish in almost a single sitting - with a variety of narrators reading a tale each by the end of the week it felt like I'd actually consumed a lot more than I had, which is an interesting feeling of value. I particularly enjoyed Summer Sword, I found it mellow and reflective yet interesting, provoking some thought afterwards - as a good idea often does. The Vampire tale was the other particular stand-out for me too, I'm not a huge fan of derivative tropes so when I see something otherwise familiar presented from a fresh perspective, with a fresh twist, I generally enjoy musing on it afterwards.

The one thing I will say is that this is a prime example of "don't judge a book by it's cover"! The cover makes it look like a robo-compiled self-help book and I'd highly recommend the author look for alternatives to this because it doesn't do the contents justice!
