Story
The men onboard HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a terrible death, Captain Francis Crozier takes command and leads his surviving crewmen on a last, desperate attempt to flee south across the ice. But as another winter approaches, as scurvy and starvation grow more terrible, and as the Terror on the ice stalks them southward, Crozier and his men begin to fear there is no escape.

Too long. No action. Just depressing. Not to my taste. Plus the performance was lacking.

Skip It
Reviewed: 02-09-21
I went back and read other reviews after I started listening to see if some of the things that were bothering me bothered anybody else... they did. I won't list those things again. I'll just say say, skip this one. There are far better novels out there. I really don't know/understand how this turned into a series, maybe the books get better as you go, but I can't listen to find out.

Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

Long
Reviewed: 02-02-21
I don't know why; I have read other Stephen King novels of similar length and enjoyed the book the whole way through, this just seemed to go on and on. I was bored with some of the lengthy descriptions, and just gave up a little under half way through.
Will Patton was great, but even his voice and talent could keep me going on this one.

Story
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Good Content / Performance Lacking
Reviewed: 01-07-21
I did enjoy the story and like other listener's hadn't ever heard of this killer before. Also like others, I found the reader too; perhaps, unemotional for the topic. He could have been reading the back of a cereal box as apposed to the details of a brutal rape and murder.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

I hate to say it, but... The reason I did not like this Audiobook book was the female “cast members” both Mina and Lucy sounded annoying and simpering to me.
Male performers especially Alan Cumming were excellent.
