Publisher's summary
A harrowing post-apocalyptic adventure.
David Morr runs away from an unhappy home to join a traveling circus and meets a quirky assortment of characters who test and challenge him as he struggles to come out of his shell and embrace his new life on the stage.
But the world is full of sickness, and life on the road is fraught with peril. A plague sweeps across the land, turning ordinary people into mindless monsters. Soon, the performers find themselves fighting for their lives against crazed mobs. All the while, the Empire of Tockland is on the rise, the cruel tyrant, Joseph Mattock, conquering one city after another, and the black and silver flag will soon fly over every nation.
Unwittingly, David and his fellow performers find themselves traveling deeper and deeper into the very heart of darkness, where plague and madness and tyranny collide in a brutal struggle for survival.

Fegan has been a "hard man" - an IRA killer in Northern Ireland. Now that peace has come, he is being haunted day and night by 12 ghosts: a mother and infant, a schoolboy, a butcher, an RUC constable, and seven other of his innocent victims. In order to appease them, he's going to have to kill the men who gave him orders. As he's working his way down the list, he encounters a woman who may offer him redemption; she has borne a child to an RUC officer and is an outsider too.

So here’s the plan: Kill the demon, steal the treasure, and retire to a life of luxury! It sounds easy when put like that. However, most unfortunately for warrior-priest Egil and sneak thief Nix, when the demon they kill turns out to have worshippers in high places, retirement is not an option. A wonderfully fast-paced fantasy adventure redolent of the classic tales of swords and sorcery, from New York Times best-selling author Paul S. Kemp.

The Superpox-99 virus has wiped out nearly the entire human race. Governments have collapsed. Cities have become graveyards filled with unspeakable horror. People have resorted to scavenging from the dead, or taking from the living. The entire industrialized world has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, decaying bodies, and feral animals. To stay alive, U.S. Deputy Marshal Mason Raines must forage for food, water, and gasoline while outgunning those who seek to take advantage of the apocalyptic anarchy.

With each deadly encounter, Mason is force to accept his place as one of the nation's few remaining lawmen. In a world now populated by escaped convicts, paranoid mutants, and government hit squads, his only hope to save the townspeople is to enforce his own brand of frontier justice.

Story
Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet. Quin didn't care. A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Couldn't put this one down!
Where does Shadows of Tockland rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This one ranks up there in the top 10.
What did you like best about this story?
It was easy to identify with the main character David who ran away to a circus!
Have you listened to any of R. Paul Matty’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes I have and I like all of his other books that I could find so far. The Burning of St. Mary's was phenomenal!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I thought it was a little twisted when it got to the part where the clowns had to actually hurt each other to get the audiences to like them but I guess that was just the nature of the beast!
Any additional comments?
The audio book version of Shadows of Tockland is a compelling book to listen to.
I read the online snippet and it was enough to get me interested. When I listened to the Audio Book, the characters came alive and I was hooked.
The main character, David Morr, starts off as an older youth looking for a way out of his less than happy home-life. He ends up in an unimaginable nightmare. The content of the story is a little on the darker side of humanity but I couldn't stay away from it!
Listening to the book narrated by R. Paul Matty, allowed me to get lost in the story. I am most grateful for the clarity of his voice and enunciation. The characters now had more depth and it was easier to picture each of them. I could hear young David's excitement and uncertainty in his voice, Telly, trying to over compensate his smaller stature with his leadership and voice and even the roustabout Gooty's accent and experience came through in his voice. I even reread the printed sample of the book and in my minds ear, could hear each of those characters from the narrated version. Nice job by R. Paul Matty, I'm going to look for more of his narrated books!

AWESOME!! BRILLIANT!!
Would you listen to Shadows of Tockland again? Why?
Yes! Shadows of Tockland by Jeffrey Aaron Miller is a reamarkable crafted, dark, suspenseful and engaging exploration of the price of both running away from life and the ramifications that come with that choice. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the plot is well paced by beautiful, strong characters dealing with their demons and intense imagery filled with humor and intrigue.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadows of Tockland?
I could easily see myself in the shoes of the main character, David Morr. Life is not going as planned so he runs away from it only to find himself on a much darker journey with suspenseful twists and turns while facing his own inner demons. I could especially relate to making choices amidst his own wounds and scars without contributing to his pain or the pain of other people. Powerful!! As he meets his own “dark night of the soul”, he has to make choices…….. I also especially liked Belle (her courage and strength) and her desire to defend the helpless. The parasitic plague was also intriguing as it is all believable!
What about R. Paul Matty’s performance did you like?
Truly exceptional narration with impeccable timing. Outstanding work of playing all of the diverse characters by bringing out their personalities with an engaging flair! He does an incredible job of bringing everything to life!! At times, I was sitting on the edge of my seat due to the dark suspense and tension! It was powerful to experience the book this way as it would not have been the same experience if I had read the book. I really experienced the range of emotions from happy, sad, depressed, fear, compassion, and love! A great narrator will bring the words to life, stimulate your imagination, and keep you engaged while providing a new and unique experience! Paul Matty is a great narrator.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Soul Survival in the Heart of Darkness""Soul Survival of traveling with the clown crew deep into the Heart of Darkness""Inner demons will keep you captive, Letting go will set you free"
Any additional comments?
Brilliantly read. Moments of humor followed by suspenseful drama the next. Great plot, characters and message. Loved it. I want to hear more from this narrator ☺
