In the aptly titled Offbeat, Richard Matheson, a modern master of strange fiction, offers 13 excursions into the unsettling and bizarre. In these stories you will encounter a major league pitcher with a horrific secret for his astonishing success; an ordinary man who wakes to find himself in a silent, empty world; a death row prisoner with an extraordinary explanation for his innocence; and a novelist whose fictional creations transcend the printed page.

A cool compilation of matheson stories but nothing particularly interesting to me personally. Don't listen to this hoping for horror.

Story4 out of 5 stars 190
Rusty Moss has raised his niece Mia since she was a baby. Now that she's almost 18, he's worried that the life he's given her - living off the grid in a cabin deep in the woods - is holding her back from her full potential. But that angst gets pushed aside when the undead forest animals arrive. At first it's just a squirrel - shockingly violent and almost impossible to kill. Followed by a grizzly bear, also aggressive and resilient, even when point-blank shotgun blasts to the face are involved.

Fury Road on foot but instead of car boys it's ling dead animals. Story was decent. Narrator was great and I wish he'd do all of Strand's books.

While I was hoping for something funnier from Strand (I'm aware that's my own expectation), this book had my attention and the narrator was actually pretty great. I will definitely be listening to more Strand books read by him.

Essentially it's Slither, the Faculty, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers but with a unique twist. Jeremy Robert Johnson never disappoints.

This narrator sounds like he was born without a nose. I'm not intending to be rude, but how can so many narrators have no self-awareness about their voice?

I had to listen in chunks because I would get so frustrated with the situation in this book. It's well-written but has a frustrating and unremarkable protagonist. I understand why it's written this way it just wasn't for me.

Not enough ghost stories
- By Sharon Carbonara on 10-28-20
Great but Short Paranormal Book
Reviewed: 07-07-20
Hospital hauntings and nurse encounters are something is always been interested in. Facebook has a pretty great collection of interesting happenings. It's definitely worth picking up.
The narrator was okay. He was a little too chipper to bring the right kind of atmosphere but he wasn't bad I guess.

Bleak Salvation in a Dreary Dreamworld
Reviewed: 06-18-20
I really wanted to like this book. The cover is beautiful and drew me in.
Unfortunately it was a bit of a slog. I forced myself to finish it. Maybe it just wasn't for me but I couldn't find it interesting.
The narrator did an alright job but the audio quality is distracting. There's a hiss during every sentence she speaks. It really takes away from the experience. You can even hear a mouse click or two.

There's just one problem: Spencer has met a girl. There's no winning for Chris. If things go well with the girl, Spencer is going to neglect him. If things go poorly, the consequences could be very far reaching. What's a zombie to do?

These are more like zombies in the traditional voodoo sense.
When a blind woman sparks up a relationship with a bullied cryptkeeper with a facial birthmark, things get very romantic... and haywire. Worth a listen.
The narrator was passable. The choice of voice he went with for the female character was a little irritating.

*Don't judge this book by it's terrible Crossroads Press cover. They really should hire legitimate artists or use the superior original paperback covers. These old books deserve better.
The narration of this book was really great and this audiobook is top quality.
I've had this book on a wish list for some time. I saw it on a list of forgotten and underrated horror novels. While this book wasn't necessarily for me, I can't give it a negative rating. I've never really been into the romantic vampire(though I wouldn't say there's much of that in this book) or Christianity as a weapon against them. This book is this really well written and, if you like Dracula, you should enjoy this.
