Roald Dahl’s very first children’s audiobook is a testament to why he’s such a beloved author, and it ranks among his greatest creations.

A Wild Ride with Dirty Beasts – A Dark and Entertaining Audiobook for Kids

Hello, fellow parents and book enthusiasts! Tonight, I’m excited to share our recent nighttime adventure with Dirty Beasts audiobook, narrated by the talented Miriam Margolyes, Stephen Mangan, and Tamsin Greig. This audiobook is a collection of Roald Dahl’s tales about animals, with a twist that’s both dark and entertaining.

In this story, Dahl takes us on a journey through the animal kingdom, showcasing creatures that might just give humans a good scare. These stories carry a unique charm, reminiscent of Aesop’s Fables, but with a darker and more whimsical twist. They cleverly convey a message: treat animals with kindness, or they might turn the tables in a most surprising and often hilarious way.

Roald Dahl’s creativity shines in these stories, as he exaggerates the animals’ antics, turning herbivores like the Pig and the Anteater into carnivorous creatures with a taste for humans. The fast-paced action and mysterious capers of the animals kept us thoroughly entertained during our nighttime escapades.

What’s wonderful about Dirty Beasts is that it offers valuable morals in each story, even though they might be a bit mixed. It encourages young listeners to think about the consequences of their actions and the importance of treating all creatures with respect.

This audiobook is suitable for all ages, but parents might want to preview it before reading it to their children, as the dark and quirky humor might not be everyone’s cup of tea. In our case, it made for a memorable and laughter-filled bedtime experience.

So, if you’re looking for a unique and slightly mischievous bedtime read, Dirty Beasts audiobook might be just what you need. You can find it in audible format and it’s perfect for those car journeys or nighttime tales that will keep you and your little one entertained.

Here’s to more adventurous bedtime stories and unforgettable moments with your little ones. Happy listening!

Carrie Audiobook Free Download

“People don’t get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don’t stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”

Background

Carrie Audiobook is epistolary horror audio by American author Stephen King. The textbook was his first published novel, released on April 5, 1974, with an approximate first print-run of 30,000 copies.

Set primarily in the then-future year of 1979, it revolves around the eponymous Carrie White, an unpopular teenage girl, whose mother is a religious fanatic, is tormented and teased to the breaking point by her more popular schoolmates. She uses her hidden telekinetic powers to inflict a terrifying revenge.

Several adaptations of Carrie Audiobook Mp3 have been released, including a 1976 feature film, a 1988 Broadway musical as well as a 2012 off-Broadway revival, a 1999 feature film sequel, a 2002 television film, and a 2013 feature film.

Review

Stephen King – Carrie Audiobook Download like a case study of this incredibly odd event. It’s told from multiple points of view from witnesses and has so much more detail. The horror factor is very high.

It may not be one of the best King books written (my personal opinion) given it was his first but it’s definitely worth a listen. This novel was insane and fearless and obviously written by someone who had this story in him that needed to gush out like Carrie’s menstrual blood and crazy telekinetic angst.

It’s hard not to love this one, especially when read by the star of Carrie herself Sissy Space. Sissy Spacek is an amazing talent. Not only is she a fantastic actress, she’s a perfect narrator. I would listen to any books she reads, just to hear her talk. I’m so impressed with her and the entire production.

Salem’s Lot Audiobook Free Download (read by Ron McLarty)

‘Salem’s Lot Audiobook is horror audio by American author Stephen King. It was his second published novel.

The town is revisited in the short stories “Jerusalem’s Lot” and “One for the Road”, both from King’s story collection Night Shift Audiobook (1978). The novel was nominated for the World Fantasy Award in 1976, and the Locus Award for the All-Time Best Fantasy Novel in 1987.

Plot Summary

The story involves a writer named Ben Mears who returns to the town of Jerusalem’s Lot (or ‘Salem’s Lot for short) in Maine, where he had lived from the age of five through nine, only to discover that the residents are becoming vampires.

Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem’s Lot in the hopes that living in an old mansion, long the subject of town lore, will help him cast out his own devils and provide inspiration for his new book.

But when two young boys venture into the woods and only one comes out alive, Mears begins to realize that there may be something sinister at work and that his hometown is under siege by forces of darkness far beyond his control.

Review

I was listening to Stephen King – Salem’s Lot Audiobook Mp3 on my way to visit my folks out in the country and I found myself shouting, “Kill it! Kill the bastard already! Just do it! ARGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!” The way he describes people turning corners or tiptoeing down some dark stairs – you can almost hear the building music in the movie scene from your mind. It is difficult to keep to the description of the characters in the story without thinking of the old TV series – who can extinguish the image of the crazy blue Nosferatu from the 70’s? I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This is a rich story full of great themes about society, the power of faith, men vs boys (my favorite chapter is the inner monologue Mark Petrie has after a close call where he muses about how adult fears are nothing compared to what a child deals with under the bed at night) and even love and salvation. Read it and decide for yourself if this is a horror novel or a novel about the horrors of man.

As is true of his writing style I did find myself glazing over from a little too much description at times, though not often and I left the story feeling as though this place truly exists somewhere outside of Cumberland, Maine.

The voice performance is also top-notch, but I’ve always been a sucker (pun intended) for Simon & Schuster audiobooks. Welcome to Salem’s Lot Audiobook Download. Highly recommended!

Rage Audiobook by Stephen King

Rage Audiobook Free Download

Rage Audiobook is the fourth book published by Stephen King; it is his fourth audio, and the first written under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. The book was published by Signet in September 13, 1977.

King has decided to let Rage fall out of print in the United States, and it is now available only as part of The Bachman Books. The other novels that appeared in that compilation (The Long Walk Audiobook, Roadwork Audiobook, and The Running Man Audiobook) are now published as separate audiobooks in the USA.

Plot Summary

A disturbed high-school student with authority problems kills one of his teachers and takes the rest of his class hostage. Over the course of one long, tense and unbearable hot afternoon, Charlie Decker explains what led him to this drastic sequence of events, while at the same time deconstructing the personalities of his classmates, forcing each one to justify his or her existence.

Review

Rage Audiobook Mp3 is a really eye-opening story, and it’s really not hard to understand why King would have wanted to pull this from circulation. I’m sure that this story is terrifying in the same way that Misery is terrifying: It could really happen. But this is even worse, because not only is it possible, it’s happened. This is close to home. That makes it truly terrifying.

Listening to this audio is like a cautionary history lesson. Much of the language and many of the elements are dated to the late 70s. But, with the subject matter being so relevant and disturbing, it does endure through today. Stephen King – Rage Audiobook Download is a horror story not of supernatural monsters or mischevious poltergeists. This is real horror that could exist in your community right now waiting to be unleashed, and that is truly terrifying!

Based on the subject matter, I suggest proceeding with caution if you are troubled by stories of teen violence.

The audiobook was recorded in 1985 by Library of Congress Recording and read by Bob Askey.

Night Shift Audiobook Overview (20 short stories)

Night Shift Audiobook is the first collection of short stories by Stephen King, first published in 1978. Many of King’s most famous short stories were included in this collection.

A collection of tales to invade and paralyze the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night. As you listen, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat.

In 1980, Night Shift received the Balrog Award for Best Collection, and in 1979 it was nominated as the best collection for the Locus Award and the World Fantasy Award.

Summary

This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered; a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems, where the familiar and the friendly lure and deceive. A world where madness and blind panic become the only reality.

Includes the Night Shiftaudiobooks in this collection: “Jerusalem’s Lot”, “Graveyard Shift”, “Night Surf”, “I Am The Doorway”, “The Mangler”, “The Boogeyman”, “Gray Matter”, “Battleground”, “Sometimes They Come Back”, “Strawberry Spring”, “The Ledge”, “The Lawnmower Man”, “Quitters, Inc.”, “I Know What You Need”, “The Last Rung on the Ladder”, “The Man Who Loved Flowers”, “One For The Road” and “The Woman in the Room”.

Review

As I continue my Stephen King binge, I seem to be leaning more towards his short story collections. As I’ve said before Stephen King is one of the best short story writers around.

Night Shift Audiobook Mp3 was a bit of a mixed bag but there were way more great stories then bad ones.

My favorite stories were The Boogeyman in which a man learns to keep his closet doors closed, Grey Matter in which we all learn that beer is bad, Sometimes They Come Back in which a teacher finds out that you can’t outrun your past, Quitters, Inc. in which a man learns that he should have read the fine print, Children of the Corn kids are monsters and corn is important, and The Man Who Loved Flowers in which we meet a young man who won’t give up on love.

I really only had 3 stories I disliked:

  • Number 1 was The Lawnmower Man I don’t even want to talk about it. It was awful
  • Number 2: Trucks, so boring.
  • Number 3: Graveyard Shift, damn RATS!

Night Shift Audiobook Download is a vintage read and some stories are super dated but as I said before there are more great and timeless stories in this collection then there are clunkers.

Highly recommend!

Roadwork Audiobook Overview (read by G. Valmont Thomas)

Roadwork Audiobook is a novel by American writer Stephen King, published in 1981 under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Only Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, can imagine the horror of a good and angry man who fights back against bureaucracy when it threatens to destroy his vitality, home, and memories.

This story was collected in 1985 in the hardcover omnibus The Bachman Audiobooks. Three of the four novels in that collection – Roadwork Audiobook, The Long Walk Audiobook, and The Running Man Audiobook – have since been reprinted as standalone titles.

Plot Summary

The story takes place in an unnamed Midwestern city in 1973–1974. Grieving over the death of his son and the disintegration of his marriage, Barton Dawes is driven to mental instability when he learns that both his home and his workplace will be demolished to make way for an extension to an interstate highway.

Barton Dawes’ unremarkable but comfortable existence suddenly takes a turn for the worst. A new highway extension is being built right over the laundry plant where he works – and right over his home.

Dawes isn’t the sort of man who will take an insult of this magnitude lying down. His steadfast determination to fight the inevitable course of progress drives his wife and friends away while he tries to face down the uncaring bureaucracy that has destroyed his life.

Review

Stephen King considered “Roadwork Audiobook Mp3” is one of his not so good novels. I want to disagree with his majesty. Lots of listeners thought that it would have been a fine short story, but it failed as a novel. I object to that. For me, “it” and “the stand” would be better if they were “less”, but “roadwork” is exactly the right size. Because it is real life.

In more than 9 hours, this audio holds the full extension of human vulnerability and despair, in front of painful fate, grievous blows of life and the system’s cruelty. For me, a masterpiece!
