About this listen

Art, a 29 year old scuba rep from Indiana, is floating through life, rudderless and apathetic. One day, when he leaves work in order to avoid an office birthday party, he stumbles across a sign for Mystery Mike's Bookstore. What was first mere curiosity grows into an obsession when threatening notes and mind warping illusions prevent Art from finding the damn place.

Art impulsively disregards his responsibilities at work and home to get to the bottom of the mystical bookstore. He soon teams up with Lenny, a Middle-aged Granite State Schlub and his celebrity dog, Schubert, who were former clients of the store before being shut off from access right when they needed it most.

Schubert is dying and Lenny is desperate to keep him alive. Lenny is also wracked with guilt that Schubert's illness might be a side effect of the training knowledge obtained from Mystery Mike's. During their search, the team encounters some peculiar people, including a brash cult leader, a ventriloquist couple with a supernatural secret, and angelic super race of humans with ulterior motives. Some will become friends, some will become enemies, but everyone seems to be in it for themselves. What are they willing to do to solve their problems and possibly save all of humanity to boot?

At Mystery Mike's, knowledge is never free.

Wild Ride

This wasn’t my normal genre but when a couple of local young men published a book I wanted to support them and listen. But, man oh man, what a fun and unexpected read. The story winds itself through some interesting characters and unanticipated encounters. I laughed repeatedly. I found myself thrilled to find myself outside of my normal reading material. It’s been a long time since a book had me in such an unpredictable laugh out loud trip!

The performer was a perfect choice. I can’t imagine any other voice after hearing it!

A hilarious buddy comedy

This book was a hoot! The story had plenty of twists and a great pace that kept me engaged from beginning to end. The narrator was great, delivering many different characters in a unique but not over the top way that worked with the narrative. Who doesn't love a funny story about a dog?

Very original!

It’s so hard to find a good story that hasn’t been told a million times but this book does it. Excellent writing, great characters and just a fun story! I’d absolutely recommend this book to anyone.
