About this listen

From a Senior Editor and columnist of Cracked.com comes a funny and frightening follow-up to The Unnoticeables, an urban fantasy with horror elements in the vein of David Wong's John Dies at the End

Following on the heels of Robert Brockway's comedic horror novel The Unnoticeables, The Empty Ones reveals the next chapter in the lives of a few misfits attempting to fight back against the mysterious Unnoticeables. The Empty Ones follows Carey and Randall to London where they go to rescue Gus and fight more of these mysterious angel-like creatures, and stumble on a powerful and unexpected ally. Meanwhile, Kaitlyn, who was very nearly beat when last we saw her, continues her fight into the desert of Mexico and the Southwest US, seeking the mysterious gear cult. Once there, she discovers what the gear cult is really up to: trying to "pin" the angels to Earth, focus their attention here, and get as much of humanity as possible "solved" - which, in their minds, is akin to being saved - and in the process discovers something incredible about herself.

With a snarled lip, The Empty Ones incorporates everything that made The Unnoticeables incredible, but like any good punk band, when you don't think they can get any louder, they somehow turn it up a notch. It's terrifying and hilarious, visceral and insane, chaotic and beautiful.

Terrific book, and what a fantastic job from the crew reading it. Everyone did a spot-on job with the material, though the varying English accents for one character did make me laugh a bit (in a good way). The story itself is funny, faster-paced, and really does a great job of diving deep into the lore of the monsters in some fun ways.

Story is just as good as the first book, and that's a high compliment! Brockway's horror/comedy was equally suspenseful and funny. The Narrators are next level, all audiobooks should be at this level of quality. Each POV has a different narrator that really adds to how the story is delivered.

This Series Doesn't Disappoint

I love this series and when I finished the first book I was distraught and when I finished the second I was disheartened. When I finish the third I'll be destroyed. The readers are amazing and I'm in love with these stories.

Love this!

Great narrators. Awesome storyline. Literally laughed out loud. Some of the most disgusting monsters ever created. Sit back and enjoy. Oh and listen to the first one before.

God. I love these books

There’s at least 6 narrators that I remember. I love the story and i don’t mind a pov change, but there’s way too many narrators! I had to re-listen to a handful of chapters cause i kept getting character’s confused and wasn’t really fully grasping what was happening. For example: Jackie’s narrator voice had personified her characters attitude drastically different than Kaitlyns narrator had when reading Jackie’s lines. It made some of the characters feel like completely different people when read in a specific narrators voice. I would’ve liked it if they kept it between 2-3 like the first one. Beside Carrie and Kaitlyns pov’s, the other characters chapters were so short that i think it would’ve sounded much better being done in the original narrators renditions of that character. I’ll have to listen a little more carefully for the next book!

Too many narrators!
