Acerca de esta escucha
Like a bullet shot from a semi-automatic into a plate glass window, this menagerie of shattered glass, broken hearts, brawn, and blood are some of the best-selling short thrillers collected into one slick as hell volume.
No matter how you spin it - from a self-driving car that abducts its passengers, to a newly released ex-con who is being hunted by father/daughter hoods for the 300 grand he owes them, to a suburban couple startled awake in the middle of the night after two Antifa hoods break into their home intent on doing some real damage - these stories are relentless.
Gear up for an adrenaline-fueled ride to the dark side and back, where the bad guy isn't always bad and the good guys will stab you in the back. From New York Times and USA Today best-selling Thriller and Shamus award-winning author comes a collection of short thrills that you won't listen to just once, but again and again. For fans of Joe R. Landsdale, Jason Starr, Allan Gutherie, Michael Connelly, Robert B. Parker, and more.

The best part about a book that leaves you breathless and paranoid is putting it down, and saying at least that can’t happen in real life...until now. The Uninvited immediately will have you on the edge of your seat. This killer has no motive, no selection process. If there's a pulse, you are a viable candidate if you cross paths with them, you might not see another day! Smart, dark, twisted, and disturbing is The Uninvited.

In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep: They become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place.... The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease.

With novels like Mystic River and Shutter Island, Dennis Lehane has dramatically altered the landscape of the crime thriller—while boldly overstepping the boundaries that have long separated mystery from literature. Now two of his sensational early novels have been combined in a single volume—two gritty and mesmerizing masterworks of suspense featuring the private eye duo of Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro.

A collection of stories to pique your curiosity.
Today I listened to Desperate Measures: A Short Thriller Collection from Vincent Zandri. This collection consists of seven short thrillers the first six of which consisted of two Dick Moonlight stories and four other stories that weren’t related by the main character. I have to say each of the first six stories were highly entertaining, and the Moonlight stories make me want to listen to more of the ones waiting on my Audible library. The seventh story was markedly different from the first six stories in not just the overall story, but it was much darker than the others and was unsettling to say the least. I’ve been thinking about this story all afternoon and trying to describe what it was like. There were several times I wanted to stop listening and be done with it, but I couldn’t stop. I guess the best way to describe the experience would be to liken it driving past an accident on the freeway, you don’t really want to look, but you look anyway because your mind seems to need to know if anyone was injured or how much damage the vehicles incurred. That same morbid curiosity is what kept me listening to the end of the story. Along with the stories being entertaining, Andrew Wehrlen’s narration was top notch, he brought each story and its characters to life.
