Publisher's summary

A novella and 12 stories from a master of supernatural horror.

Father John has lived his whole life without knowing a woman's touch. Hard at first, his self-denial grew easier over time, as he learned to master his urges with a regimen of prayer, cold showers, and jigsaw puzzles. That changes the day that Debra Rocks enters his confessional. A rough-talking adult film actress, she has come to ask him to pray for a murdered costar. Her cinnamon perfume infects Father John, and after she departs he becomes obsessed. Around the corner from his church is a neon-lit alley of sin. He goes there hoping to save her life before he damns himself.

That is Blue World, the novella that anchors this collection of chilling stories by Robert R. McCammon. Although monsters, demons, and murderers fill this audio, in McCammon's world the most terrifying landscape of all is the barren wasteland of a lost man's soul.

Delicious!

This collection of stories were so fresh and imaginative, some stories were dark and some as joyful as a spring morning but they were all told with such descriptive magic they drew you in to the tale. Full of human nature, magic, fright, suspense and triumph they
held me spellbound. and I truly enjoyed this book. The writing was superb and the narrators talented and well suited to the stories they narrated. Bravo! Well done!

50/50 on the readers

I enjoyed the stories and thought Bronson Pinchot did a great job but every story Kevin T. Collins read annoyed me so much I was dreading listening to them. I really liked the idea of different stories read by different voices just not that particular voice.

My First RMc Book

I actually bought this when I was younger as a paperback book. Here's the thing... I could not put it down !!! I loved it so much, that these many years later, I was thinking about it and I bought it on Audible. Awesome purchase, and even better now that I can just relax, sit down and listen.

On second thought

i read Blue World years ago and thought I remembered liking it quite a bit. Nope! This is definitely not Robert McCammon at his best. The narrators did little to help the cause. One read like he was a second grade English. teacher on crank. The other gave everyone a rather vapid tone not unlike Steven Wright.

Great Listening Experience

As a new fan of Robert Mccammon I’m still in a state of delight! Somehow though I am persuaded that I’ll remain in this heady place of delight!

McCammon’s Shorter Yarns

This mix of supernatural horror, science fiction, and psychological thriller short stories (and one short novel thriller) finds Robert McCammon in peak form. The author refers to these as fast cars in the introduction, and they certainly are that!

The readers Bronson Pinchot and Kevin T. Collins do a fine job adding life to these already lively yarns.

Note: this is the extended edition of Blue World, including three stories that did not appear in the original paperback release from 1990. Those three show improvements in craft but the same penchant for telling a spellbinding, heartbreaking, or blood curdling story.

1 out of 2 on the readers

I liked most of the stories, but should have taken to heart a review which said in part, ‘every story Kevin T Collins read annoyed me so much I was dreading listening to them’ Well, ditto. On the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Bronson Pinchot and thank heavens he read the best story in the book, with Father John.

Great stories poor narration

The choppy cadence of the reader ruins most of the stories… Fortunately a very good reader does the title story blue world… That story alone is worth the credit

A great human voice in the horror genre!

McCammon is such a good writer! With as much darkness and morbidity that he can call up, just as much hope and humanity can he bring forth as well! His stories are so rich and filled with color.
