Publisher's summary

Dear Listener,

Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to listen to this audiobook, in which the Baudelaire siblings descend into the depths of despair, underwater. The horrors they encounter are too numerous to list, and include mushrooms, a mechanical monster, a distressing message from a lost friend, and tap dancing.

As a dedicated author who has pledged to keep recording the depressing story of the Baudelaires, I must continue to delve deep into the cavernous depths of the orphans' lives. You, on the other hand, may delve into some happier audiobook in order to keep your ears and your spirits from being dampened.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Featured Article: Mushroom Mania—11 Fantastic Listens About Fungi


Mushrooms are so much more than just a pizza topping. With new information and applications cropping up constantly, the world of fungal research is as deep and complex as mushrooms themselves. These seemingly innocent bundles of caps and stalks are just the fruiting body of a complex underground network of fungal threads called mycelia. Neither plant nor animal, the fungal kingdom lives mostly out of sight, but these days, never out of mind.

Fantastic

I grew up reading these and they are amazing and mostly timeless. The same thing I think could be said about Tim Curry. As a big fan of his, his interpretation of child's voices is mostly just hilarious.
I also have to applaud them for using the original music by the author!
Simply fantastic

Brilliant material and an exceptional performance!

If I'm not mistaken actors/actresses can receive a Grammy award for audio books and I'm telling you TIM CURRY DESERVES ONE. Fabulous, insightful, a keen, razor sharp interpretation of a brilliantly written piece.
This story IS A GAME CHANGER. WHEN I saw MTV, ET, Star Wars, etc.
I had the presence of mind to realize I'd never seen ANYTHING like this before. This series is the same. Look out Harry, you've got competition.
