About this listen

"My legal name where I currently reside in the city of Liege, Belgium, is Gaspar Valessi. But that is not my real name. The name I was given some 30,000 years ago, when I was born in a Paleolithic settlement in the region that is now called Germany - the name my father gave me shortly after I was voided, bloody and howling, from my mother's womb - is Gon."

So begins the saga of the immortal Gon, a 30,000 year-old vampire. This, the first volume of his memoirs, recounts his mortal life in prehistoric Germany alongside his male companion, Brulde, and his two wives, the Neanderthal Eyya and his Cro-Magnon mate, Nyala. It details the fearsome events that lead to his transformation from man to undying monster.

This revised and expanded edition includes new material, adding depth to much-loved characters and more fully realizing the author's vision of the oldest living vampire and the prehistoric world that gave birth to him. By turns beautiful and subversive, poetic and seductive, The Oldest Living Vampire Saga is like no other vampire series you've ever heard!

THEY TOOK OUR OFFERINGS AND THAN THEY TOOK OUR SHAMANS
I have been telling everybody that Joseph Duncan's Zombie novel Cattle: The Fearlanders is one of the best zombie books out there for sometime now. I was hoping his vampire story was as good. For the first couple of hours it was, but than I am a big fan of Jean Auel and her randy cavemen.

FAST FEET
The first couple of hours was devoted to open sexual relationships. This was practiced by early man, according to Duncan. Homo as well as Hetero. I was buying all of it and did not have the same problem one reviewer had with the pre-teen sex. It was not adult and child, but kids playing around and imitating the adults. Even Jean Auel expressed that since sex was not private, little kids would play at the act they see their elders do. Even today kids experiment, so I was not bother by it. The problem was that once Duncan quit writing about sex the story got boring. I listened for over seven hours and the guy was still not a vampire. One reviewer said it was nine hours into the 10 and a quarter hour book before the guy was turned. If you advertise a vampire book, you need a vampire. I have checked the reviews for the sequel and it seems that it does not get much better, so I will not continue this series. If the Zombie series continues and I will definitely listen to that.

Narrator
This guy talks the entire time in a gruff whisper. Okay for awhile, grating over time.

Outstanding story

I thought this was an outstanding story. a 30 thousand year old vampire a story that moves all the way back to the Paleolithic period. Not something I would have thought of a vampire story the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing you into the story

Gon

Where does The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I very much enjoyed a different point of view of a vampires beings and current life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded?

When Gon Killed his maker. Wow that was an intense moment in the book.

What does Ian M. Walker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This great rough voice. He sounds like a 30,000 year old vampire.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I thought it was so cute when Gon was 1st falling in love with his wife.

Any additional comments?

This is the 1st book that I have listened to by Joseph Duncan and Narrated by Ian M. Walker. I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I was very interested throughout the entire book. I love history, I like vampire stories and I really enjoy stories of the 1st humans.
Gon is the main character in the book. He has what sounded like the most perfect life growing up with a loving family. Than to being a young man falling in love. I thought the idea of sharing a house hold with more than one wife and husband would be ideal. Everyone would share and take care of each other. The children would grow up loved and safer with 2 more adults looking after them. I felt so sorry for Gon he had everything and lost it all. The only thing he was able to walk away with was the fact that he was able to claim his revenge of the one that took it all from him. I liked too that it was nothing like any vampire book I have ever listened too. What a clever imagination the author must have to tell this story. It was a fun twist on what really happened to the Neanderthal's.

This is the second book that I have listened that Ian M. Walker has narrated. He was amazing again. He used a very rough voice that really fits the 30,000 year old Gon.

Original novel, good narration

Clan of the Cave Bear vampire story. Duncan did a fine job introducing the clan culture and building a believable and immersive world.

Buy it

Skip to chapter 30, just know that the main characters are all married, homosexual and polygamous, both men and women. Also, there are scenes of child sex that you probably can do without. Other than this, it's an excellent story and worthwhile.

*Outstanding*

If you could sum up The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded in three words, what would they be?

Powerful, entertaining, captivating.

Joseph Duncans other books, as I really enjoy his style of writing.

What does Ian M. Walker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Gon is alive in this audio version, much more so than in the written book.

The narrators voice suits Gon perfectly. I felt as though I really got to know the character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Best vampire story ever told.

Any additional comments?

I loved listening to this audio version of a fantastic book, the additions to the story were welcome and offered more insight into Gons early life.

Favourite part was Gons awakening as a vampire.
