Wow wow wow! Thanks sooo much for this early access from PRHAudio! As a huge fan of Larson non-fiction I was all too excited to read or listen to his first Audio only fiction novel!With all the feels of the greats like Jackson, Lovecraft and Henry James this book has an intense suspense and truly horror gold!Of course he creates his characters from actual people from the turn of the century and that gives the book even more dramatic effect. I know this is just coming out but I am going to be pin...
After reading the description, I was expecting a spooky ghost story, but what I got was a dull haunted house story with a side plot explaining how wireless telegraphy worked. The ending was exceptionally anticlimactic. Since this was an audiobook only, I was expecting a lot from the narration but it didn’t deliver either. The narrator made every character’s voice the same. It would have really benefited from multiple narrators and possibly some sound effects to liven things up.
I scratched my head a lot while listening to No One Goes Alone. It’s either because I’m confused or because I’m trying a new shampoo. No One Goes Alone has all the makings of a 5-star winner for me. Erik Larson, renowned author of narrative nonfiction modern classics like The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake, has written a ghost story - his first foray into fiction - that is being released only on audio. Hooray!!!But not so fast. Larson explains that he chose this audio-only approach becaus...
How many days of slowly increasing creepy occurrences will make our Dorn expedition realize the truth of the title? More than I thought was reasonable, that's for sure! This Audio Original (and first fiction offering by Larson) is a supreme tale of good vs. evil. The ending notes by Major Josiah Frost elevate the narrative from four stars to five. Want some thrills and chills in your autumn? This is the title for you. I still have goosebumps and I have been finished with the book at least a quar...
I enjoyed Mr. Larson's first foray into fiction. As ghost stories go, this one was unique because many of the characters were based on real people. They behaved and spoke like real people and I felt connected to them almost immediately. The pacing is quick - I finished the book in one sitting (it helped that I went on a long hike) and was eager to hear what would happen next. I was entertained from beginning to end, and the only thing preventing this from getting that all-important fifth star wa...
If you've read any Larson, you know that his non-fiction is one step removed from fiction: he builds rich narrative stories, not mere compilations of dry historical fact. I loved Thunderstruck (maybe because I have a background in signals intelligence) and it's great to see this rich bit of history--the beginnings of the telegraph and wireless telegraphy--applied in another context. It was fascinating to see Erik Larson take his talent for historical research and storytelling to fiction.This sto...
The background on this is that Erik Larson, well-known for his non-fiction accounts of phenomena such as a devastating hurricane on the Texas coast (Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History), a serial killer at a World's Fair (The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America), and the race to develop wireless telegraphy (Thunderstruck) decided to write a ghost story set in roughly the same time as those three books, the turn of
This was *not* my jam. I read quite a few raving 5 star reviews of this prior to starting it… I am utterly baffled. I was SUPER bored the entire time… 7+ hours of practically nothing happening. I don’t even grasp how this is classified as a ghost story. Given that Larson chose to make this a audiobook ONLY release, you would think they would have gone all out with the recording. The British narrator put me to sleep. While he did do a good job with different voices for the different male characte...
This was fun and the narrator was great, but I prefer his nonfiction works.
