Friday, April 18, 2014: Today's Kindle Daily Deal listings includes Tim Powers' 1989 novel The Stress of Her Regard for $1.99 with a $1.99 Whispersync for Voice upgrade to the Audible edition, read by Simon Vance for Blackstone Audio, a fantastic audiobook which Dave calls "without a doubt one of the most terrifying and disturbing books I've read or listened to" and which I reviewed as "a wonderful and dark novel of a fictionalized Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats, and of the more completely fictional

Hide Me Among the Graves by Tim Powers, Read by Fiona Hardingham Length: 17 hours, 26 minutes
What do you want from a sequel? Comfort? More of the same? Or simply a continuation? A further exploration that goes somewhere different? There isn't one right or wrong answer. Sometimes it's one thing, sometimes it's something else, sometimes it's a mixture. Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves falls into the latter category - there are similarities to its predecessor, but it is also very much its own book

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2013: As happened last week, amidst a fairly quiet week overall there's still a pair of fantastic audiobooks from my "most missing in audio" list: Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves and Lewis Shiner's Slam. Additionally, this week brings one of the most fantastically-produced non-fiction titles I've ever had the occasion to come across, an Audible-published Skyboat Media full cast production of Report from Nuremberg, complete with archive audio from the source material. The "also out

Sam's Listening Report: January 2013

So, we're into April and I'm only scratching the surface on reviewing my January listening, and a long list of full reviews to write, but I want to get these brief thoughts out at least, so, in the interest of time: I started the year by finishing up some long-overdue Tim Powers "research" in advance of meeting (and interviewing!) him at illogiCon, interrupted only a bit by the launch of John Scalzi's episodic The Human Division (which I won't review myself here, since Dave is covering these magnificently

Listening report: June 2012
Posted on 2012-09-12 at 03:21 by Sam
After six audiobooks in May (though KSR’s 2312 went on well into the first week of June) I listened to eight in June, with Tim Powers’s On Stranger Tides and Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay being the outstanding audiobooks, with plenty to recommend Mark L. Van Name’s No Going Back, John Scalzi’s Redshirts, and Jon Sprunk’s Shadow’s Son.
REVIEWS: (Note: as I’m terribly terribly behind in these reviews, these are short (or long in the cases where I did not have time to

Six audiobooks this month, down from eight last month, this time heavily skewed toward sf (5) over fantasy (1):
REVIEWS:
- To Marry Medusa By Narrated by for Blackstone Audio — Rudnicki’s a fan of Sturgeon’s, and I’ve heard him on More Than Human which, along with To Marry Medusa, explores the idea of emergent parapsychology. It’s a reminder that, along with Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End, science fiction (and science) actually took telepathy quite seriously

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.
