About this listen

Welcome to Gil's All Night Diner, where zombie attacks are a regular occurrence and you never know what might be lurking in the freezer....

Duke and Earl are just passing through Rockwood county in their pick-up truck when they stop at the Diner for a quick bite to eat. They aren't planning to stick around-until Loretta, the eatery's owner, offers them $100 to take care of her zombie problem. Given that Duke is a werewolf and Earl's a vampire, this looks right up their alley. But the shambling dead are just the tip of a particularly spiky iceberg.

Seems someone's out to drive Loretta from the Diner, and more than willing to raise a little Hell on Earth if that's what it takes. Before Duke and Earl get to the bottom of the Diner's troubles, they'll run into such otherworldly complications as undead cattle, an amorous ghost, a jailbait sorceress, and the terrifying occult power of pig-latin. And maybe - just maybe - the End of the World, too.

Gory, sexy, and flat-out hilarious, Gil's All Fright Diner will tickle your funnybone - before ripping it out of its socket!

Fun

Not quite as good as the other A. Lee Martinez books, but the narrator is excellent.

A new take on the supernatural

If you could sum up Gil's All Fright Diner in three words, what would they be?

Fun, exciting and different

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gil's All Fright Diner?

The first meeting of Earl and Duke was great!

Any additional comments?

I've read a lot of vampire and werewolf novels, this one was very different than the norm. It had a great sense of humor and managed to show different takes on standard tropes.
If Anne Rice writes about white collar vampires and Charlene Harris writes about blue collar ones, then A. Lee Martinez is writing about redneck ones. It sounds odd, but it works.

Real pulp science-fiction/fantasy

I liked it.
The narrator is amazing and the story is funny and very lite.
Would recommend as a vacation to the mind from the real stuff in this category.

superb

I laughed out loud several times. The characters were brought to life by the fantastic narration. Even the dead ones. I'll be doing several more A Lee Martinez books. Immediately.

Pretty Good

I am impressed. Listened to one of Martinez's other stories and found I liked it. Do enjoy the humorous turn to the story telling. Found the same level of humor to this story. Good job.

The voice actor did the MOST

Listen to this audio book for the voice actor, if anything. Aside from the fact that this is a great read that’s definitely a unique take on vampires, werewolves, and other super natural entities, the voice over is absolutely amazing. A literal work of art.

Very funny!

Zombies, werewolves, vampires, and a lonely ghost in the deep South. What's not to love?

Surpringly Humorous Redneck Horror

Gil's All Fright Diner was a nice surprise. I don't gravitate towards humorous fiction audiobooks, but picked this one up due to a recommendation. It was very enjoyable to listen to and actually had me laughing early on. The performance was wonderful, each character has a unique distinctive voice. If you're a fan of the horror genre there are a lot of things to pick up on that are nice touches. The mentions of the "Old Gods" had me thinking about Lovecraft. I think the book was overall just about perfect in length and plot. A good entry level listen, or one for someone needing a bit of a breather from their normal reads.

Fun Romp

Definitely a different type of story. It's not gut bustingly funny by any means but it is a fun read. You end up with a Vampire, a Ghost, and a Werewolf. Sounds like Being Human but it's more Hitchhiker's Guide to the Paranormal.
