About this listen

A whodunnit on board a pleasure boat.

The blurring of lines between our dreams and the real world.

The inexplicable appearance of faintly familiar people who we think we ought to know.

Or the odd story of a young girl who experiences a repeating cycle of bizarre events.

This collection of mysterious tales has something for everyone.

Some will chill you.

Some will pull at your heart strings.

All will make you think.

Come and meet this extraordinary cast of characters in...The Book of Names.

Very enjoyable glimpses into the lives of people

Series of short stories that look at significant events in the lives of different people.
I really enjoyed that the events in the short stories felt personal to the characters. From the old lady just trying to live her day, to the well executed 100 word story, they all stuck with me. In my mind, the sign of a good story is when you are still thinking about it later in your idle moments.

I was really impressed by the sound effects used. They did not feel overdone or out of place and added to the atmosphere of the book.

This was my first book narrated by Nigel Peever, but I am certainly going to be looking for more of his work.

good collection

Several creepy entertaining stories that kept my interest start to finish. Some were sad and unfair and had me hoping for more or better for the main character, especially Alice and Gerald. The music and the narrator brought it to life. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review.

A wonderful collection of stories.

This is a wonderful collection of stories ranging from revenge to heart-felt. This is my first listen to this narrator and am looking forward to more. He did a wonderful job with the various characters and types of stories.

Entertaining and Quirky Tales

I found the Book of Names to be a very entertaining look into the lives of different characters. The stories are not what I would consider scary but there is a quirky factor about them that kept me hooked from the very first story. Nigel Peever did an stellar job as narrator bringing the stories to life especially with the background sound effects.
I received this book for free but I am giving my review of my own volition.

A Bunch of Short Dark Stories

Stories true, but I personally did not find them all that interesting. Though all the stories came to a Quirky ending. I really like the Narrator and he does a good job.

QUIRKY TWISTS AND TURNS

THE BOOK OF NAMES BY RICHARD STORRY is a 5 hour audible book . This book gives the readers a variety of short stories ranging from a murder on board a pleasure boat to ghosts providing food for an elderly relative. Each story has a bit of a quirky ending, making THE BOOK OF NAMES a pretty good read if you are into the weird!

I have listened to several of Richard Storry's books and each time I read one I want to read more. If you are into the weird fiction then give THE BOOK OF NAMES a listen. Not only do you get pretty weird short stories but the narrator, NIGEL PEEVER has become one of my favorites as he takes the stories and gives them a creepy life of their own.

I recieved this audiobook free in exchange for a honest review
