“When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.”
Metamorphosis is Franz Kafka’s classic tale of a young man who awakes one morning to find he has transformed into a gigantic insect. The above quotation is the startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence of Kafka’s masterpiece. A good mix of horror and comedy, Metamorphosis is a must-listen for fans of all genres.
James Lee Burke’s newest novel The Glass Rainbow is finally here!
The Glass Rainbow: A Dave Robicheaux Novel by James Lee Burke and narrated by Will Patton is already being hailed as perhaps the best novel in the Robicheaux series. On amazon.com, out of 30 user reviews it has been given 26 five stars!
Overview: Detective Dave Robicheaux is back and he seems to be embroiled in the most harrowing and dangerous case of his entire career.
The brutal murders of seven young women has set Detective Robicheaux up against a level of evil greater than any enemy he has confronted in the past. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais does match up. She is a high school honour student as opposed to the kind of hapless and marginalized victim psychopaths usually prey upon.

June is Audiobook Month and we want to get you listening! And we’re going to do it with a good ol’ fashioned Battle of the Books.
Most of you are familiar with Simply Audiobooks’ free audiobook download of the month, but this month we’ve got a little something extra up our sleeve. For the entire month of June we’re going to be offering a new free download every week as voted by you.
On Tuesday June 1st watch for our first free audiobook download – you can find it right here on the blog, on the Simply Audiobooks homepage, or on our free download page. Once you’ve downloaded your first free book of the month, head right back here to the Simply Audioblog and vote for the title you want to see as next week’s free book. Voting will start every Tuesday afternoon and will close the following Monday when the winner will be declared. The winning title will be posted the following day as the new free download and two new contestants will go head-to-head to vie for the title of ‘free download’ for the next week. This will go on for the entire month of June, which means, if my math is right (and it hardly ever is), you can get 5 free audiobooks this month.
You don’t have to be a member to vote or download the free titles, so spread the word and the audiobook love.
P.S. You can vote once every day so visit us regularly to help get the title you want voted the winner.
Let the battle begin!
