Publisher's summary
Jack loved the Civil War. He scoured through his many books on the subject even more now that his sons had grown and he was alone. Needing to beat the boredom and depression he decided to take a camping trip, and through a twist of fate, Gettysburg became not only his destination but where his destiny lie as well. Jack was certain that he could find a real showpiece to add to his meager collection of Civil War artifacts but his enthusiasm turned to terror when his search for a genuine relic led him to unexpected places where strange and awful events awaited him.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Thrilling adventure! Outstanding narration!
Thrilling is the word to use for the new audiobook of Mark Pieper’s novel “I Survived Gettysburg.” The main character of the story, a Civil War buff like the author himself, leaves Ohio to visit Gettysburg and through a series of strange events, receives a souvenir of an actual confederate soldier’s uniform. After trying it on, and it fitting him perfectly, he's suddenly transported back in time and finds himself wearing this uniform while paired with other southern soldiers as Pickett’s charge begins. It’s exciting enough on the page (I read the book when it first came out), but David Allen Vargo, the award-winning narrator, adds arresting and effective sound effects along with creating many different voices for the various characters to make this adventure all too real. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience what the largest battle of the Civil War must have been like for the men who fought and died at Gettysburg.

A haunting journey through history
Prepare yourself to take a haunting journey through history, blending the horror of the American Civil War with a gripping tale of mystery and the supernatural. “I Survived Gettysburg”, by Mark Pieper, is an incredibly captivating exploration of the past, offering a unique perspective on one of America’s most defining conflicts.
Jack, a Civil War enthusiast seeking relief from the monotony of his empty nest life he finds himself once his children have all left home, embarks on a camping trip to Gettysburg, unaware of the eerie events that await him. The house he lives in has always been a little haunted, so he’s no stranger to the supernatural, but what awaits him on the battlefields is nothing he could expect.
He unwittingly stumbles upon a world where the lines between past and present blur, and the ghosts of history come alive. What starts out like early-warning foreshocks before the main earthquake, Jack slips into a different stream of time where he briefly glimpses the past. Windows rattle from the booming canon fire, and people run for safety.
At its core, the novel grapples with themes of the futility of war and the passage of time. Jack’s own philosophical musings on the meaning of history and his own place within it add an interesting depth to the story.
For parts of the book, I wasn’t sure if it was written from a purely confederate sympathiser point of view, as there was a lot of “Monday-morning quarterbacking” on how General Lee should have done x or someone else should have done y and the war could have played out much differently. Indeed, early parts of the book talk of General Lee with a form of reverence for how well he did early on.
As the book goes on though, while Jack does feel sympathy for the confederate soldiers, it’s clearer that it’s sympathy for the poor souls forced into fighting rather than sympathy for the cause behind them. As the battle rages on, Jack forms a close bond with a couple of the doomed soldiers, and Pieper skilfully treads the line between loving the solider but hating the war.
As expected in events set during the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, there is frequent descriptions of horrific injuries, blood and gore, and battlefield surgery of the 1860s, so be warned if you’re a little squeamish.
The production value and narration of the audiobook was top-notch. The narrator, David Allen Vargo, has one of those voices that is both gravelly yet refined that is easy to listen to and suits the story well.
The audiobook draws you in for an immersive experience with added sound effects which make you feel as if you’re right there beside Jack. Thunderous canon booms and the crack-crack-crack of rifles, and the misery of men dying on the battlefield. None of it overpowering the narration though, only adding to the experience.
Overall, a hauntingly good tale. When you dive into the murky waters of history and the supernatural, you may find some moments in time are destined to linger long after the battle has finished.

The Past is Always with us
Review by Kat Eickhoff
Facing tragedies of the past both personally and historically is explored in quite a unique way in this novel. Mark Pieper incorporates the paranormal elements into a beautifully crafted and powerful story that mesmerizes the reader, yet the narration by David Allen Vargo’s incredible talent behind the microphone transports the listener back in time. The addition of sound effects added realism and a sense of bubbling fear, immersing me completely in to the mesmerizing experience.
“I Survived Gettysburg” is a must for fans of history and those fond of ghostly tales. Brace yourself for a heartbreaking and terrifying experience as the main character, Jack is forced to deal with his own tragedies and those of others far worse than his own.
An exceptional story narrated to perfection.

An Amazing Unique Story
I just finished “I Survived Gettysburg”. It was an interesting unique novel that kept your attention from the first to the last word. What I found that made the novel remarkable was the narrative by David Allen Vargo. He took an amazing book and made it into a work of art. By listening to his narration, I felt like I was actually living the story. I totally recommend this book to anyone who likes a great ghost story.

An Amazing Experience!
What a fantastic listen! This isn’t just another book on Gettysburg. It’s a time tripping ghost story that left me wanting more! The storyteller brings to life the tale like nothing I’ve ever listened to before! David Allen Vargo’s production creates a realistic environment for the listener. The drama, the feel of battle, the horrors of war. Then there’s the story itself, hauntingly magnificent. The dark and eloquent poetry adds to the overall ambiance of the story.
The work is masterful in all ways! An audiobook that isn’t just a good listen but a fully immersive experience.
The authors in depth knowledge of the battle shows as there is plenty of real history imbedded within his frightful tale of a paranormal experience unlike any other. A “must listen“ for anyone that loves a good ghost story , Gettysburg, or the Civil War in general.

Outstanding!
After visiting many tunes, I know that Gettysburg PA exudes an atmosphere of haunting solemnity. This book expertly presents the horrors of war through the eyes of people on the battlefield on July 1-3, 1863. Their raw emotions of anguish, fear and sadness comes through in the battle scenes and their interactions. This book perfectly captures the ambience that exists around this ground consecrated by the blood of so many Americans. The narration is excellent and the sound effects add to the overall experience. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the Civil War and Gettysburg. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Very enjoyable from start to finish
This book is very well written by an author who is quite a gifted storyteller. It grabbed me from the start and didn't let go. I hope there's more to come from him. The narration was pitch perfect and was as natural as if the author himself was telling the story. There were surprisingly well done sound effects too which never interfered and only enhanced the story and the narration. I've always been interested in the Civil War and have done a lot of studying on my own about it. I enjoyed it a lot from start to finish. A great listen and a great story!
