About this listen

The chilling first novel by filmmaker, composer, and graphic novelist Leopoldo Gout, performed by actor Pedro Pascal (Narcos; Game of Thrones)

Ghost Radio reminded me of early Stephen King. The story sticks with you long after you’ve finished the final page.” (James Patterson)

From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next.

Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra, and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an underground cult sensation is primed to break out to mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen.

When Joaquin notices a curious and troubling phenomenon, he is inexplicably drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. As he slowly loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio, he’s forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead.

Pedro makes it

Okay story that was elevated tremendously by Pedro Pascal's lovely narration. The story seems awfully scattered at first, but eventually the threads come together in unexpected ways.

Narration of quality, story of substance

Decided on this title because of Pedro Pascal narrating. I fell in love with the story.

Strange, but definitely worth the time

I had to go back to the beginning and re-listen to the first four or five chapters just to get the ‘who did what’ stuff straight . . . and it’s definitely strange . . . but the author has definitely done their research regarding myths, Central American history and religion, new age beliefs, etc. I was sure that the ending would be ambiguous and unsatisfying - but am happy to report that I was wrong. This story has a sloooooooow start, but definitely moves along toward an “I didn’t see that coming!” ending.

Decent read

I liked the idea, but it fell a little flat for me. Pedro pascal does an amazing narration, but as someone who reads a lot of this genre, I didn’t have the same epiphany I was hoping for.

WOW the ending!

I very much liked the flow of the stories. Mr. Pascal's voice is extremely soothing and I enjoyed his different accents to the various characters. I would recommend this audible to any one who is fascinated by the upside down. I gave all 5s because I wanted to listen twice to get details I missed the first time around 😉

Confusing, but alright.

Can’t go wrong with Pedro, but the ending was a little confusing to me. Not entirely sure how it all worked.

Didn’t care for it

Too much talking from the main character not enough plot. It was just boring. Save your credit.

Great story

I appreciated the reading/narration of this book. The plot was entertaining but the ending left me wanting more for the mc! I’ll definitely think about this story for some time.

Fabulous!

I’ve read a lot of horror fiction, mostly Stephen King. This was excellent. Really got under my skin. It reminded me of The Magnus Archives and Welcome to Night Vale. I don’t know why I haven’t heard of the book before. I came here because Pedro Pascal did the narration. He was fantastic as always.

Interesting story, great performance

This is an interesting story. It is a bit confusing at times but that is intentional. The vocal performance is top notch. I would love to hear another story performed by Pedro Pascal. I hung off his every word and could easily experience the story. I also liked the bit of music sprinkled throughout the book.
