Story
Set on a large ranch in rural upstate New York, it’s early days for the eccentric group of people who call themselves "The Zeta Family" - quite possibly the next big cult phenomenon. Our protagonist, Katie, is an aspiring reporter who has decided to infiltrate the compound, and her future success as a journalist depends entirely on her ability to win the confidence of Zeta Doug, the likable spiritual leader of the group. He’s like a cross between Hunter S. Thompson and George R. R. Martin, with a little too much sci-fi in his head and acid in his blood stream.

Well, the narrators did a great job. I'd listen to Natasha Lyonne read a medical journal... The dialog was fun and witty, but for me, the story itself was just so-so.

Story
Nancy Kranich (played by Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station. But Nancy hates her job, is sick of space, and longs to find adventure and a safe place to smoke cigarettes that won’t blow everyone up. But when Nancy gets caught up in an outer-space conspiracy involving President Kennedy, former vice-president Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could change the course of history, she gets way more adventure than she bargained for.

Simply the Best Full-Cast Audio Book Ever!

NOT your typical audiobook!

Honestly, I'd call this audio theater, and it's AWESOME! Natasha Lyonne delivers an award worthy performance. The entire cast does a fabulous job really. Beyond the hilarious story and knock out acting, this is an engineering masterpiece. I can't begin to imagine the number of hours it took to piece all of this together, with all the performers and the incredible amount of sound effects. Must've been thousands of sound files. Truly impressive...

Story
Nathan Porter, a young war veteran haunted by an atrocity he witnessed, ends up in an animation studio in southern California, where his dismal romantic history is upended by Violet Delmar, an older voice-over artist known nationally as "The Voice." Violet's siren song wafts in and out of Nathan's entire life, twisting through his misguided affairs and marriage, until he finds himself awakened, thanks to Violet, about no less than all of love and art.

A sweet, haunting story about a decades long "love" affair between Nathan and Violet. Beautifully narrated by Kevin Stillwell.

While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they - like you - would be better off not knowing.

Fun story! I laughed out loud at least a handful of times. Such a great mix of horror and comedy!! I really enjoy the way Thorne narrates. I just wish there were a little more separation between his characters. I was often confused if I was listening to John or Dave.

However, that just might change, especially if the hunky hottie sitting in her office had anything to say about it. Lennox “Nox” Hollister wasn’t interested in love—been there, done that, got a crummy t-shirt as a parting gift. But when he met his sister’s sexy and sophisticated wedding planner, his interest flew off the charts.
