great stories but,

the female narrator is awful. She can't do make choices and she needs to stop. Please stop.

The Truth is Out There

While not quite as good as the first instalment this is a damn good anthology. It’s like a good season of the X-Files. Some are going to be spooky, some fun, one forgettable, but all in all a satisfying listen. If you liked the show I suggest this book.

Next Level X-Files

Great stories. I loved how each chapter is a new story/episode. Kind of creepy to fall asleep to but just pure awesomeness!

X Files Nostalgia

This is the second in the trilogy of X Files short stories edited by Jonathan Maberry. As with most series of this type, you get a mixed bag of stories authored by different writers. While every story was not top notch, most were, and I found them all entertaining. Bronson Pinchot and Hillary Huber return as the narrators. While both do fine jobs with the narratives, I continue to give Mr. Pinchot the nod for his right on deadpan delivery of Fox Mulder. Although he is not attempting to imitate David Duchovny, his voice does allow you to see Duchovny in your head. Ms. Huber is fine as Scully, but struggles IMO with the Mulder voice.

Overall, this is a fun trip into the mostly early days of the X Files with all the requisite characters and quirky storylines. Bravo....I am on to the third in the series in due time.

Fun revisit to a well-loved show

Excellect individual stories in the anthology. None are retellings of the original; new fair to all.

Naration is excellect and stories fun.

Superb

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes most certainly! The stories are excellent, and are much like the tv show.

Any additional comments?

Please, Please, Please keep making these books. I have bought all of them on Audible and love all of them!

Interesting stories, good narration

The stories are a nice mix, focusing on different characters and genres. The authors do a good job of capturing the personalities of the characters, and the narrators are very good, with one relatively minor exception: they mispronounce Frohike's name as fro-hike instead of fro-hicky. Not a huge deal, but did kind of take me out of the story. Surprised this wasn't caught in editing. Otherwise, definitely worth listening to. Made my long car drive pass quickly.

Good and ok stories

There were a few stories which seemed to drag but overall a good read/listen for X-Files fans.

Frohike

The character's name is pronounced Fro-hick-ee, not Fro-hike. C'mon, now. Do your research. Also, why not a Lone Gunmen focused story? Overall great

nice

voice acting was pretty good and so were the stories fit for a good drive
