I'm very pleased to report that later this year, Blackstone Audio will release two audiobooks by Lewis Shiner, the author of the World Fantasy Award-winning (and my favorite new audiobook of 2011) Glimpses.
First up, to be released November 15, is Slam, Shiner's 1990 novel of a paroled tax evader, anarchist skateboarders, and, well, 23 cats. Called "An unqualified delight." by Publishers Weekly and re-released in 2011 by Subterranean Press in the series of "Definitive Editions" of Shiner's works:

I’m pleased to welcome a new regular contributor to the Audible SF/F blog: Dave Thompson. While we have plans (a podcast? two-contributor reviews?) he’s starting out with a review of The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers, read by Simon Vance for Blackstone Audio. Out in April of 2011, the novel was originally published in print in 1989 by Ace Hardcover. A new book, Hide Me Among the Graves: A Novel is due out in March from William Morrow.
