The Werewolf's 15 Minutes

De: Jonathan Maberry

Narrado por: Ray Porter, Dina Pearlman

Gary Bruce is a slacker of epic loserness. Can’t keep a job. His friends are as bad as he is. No girlfriend. No direction.

Gary Bruce is also a werewolf.

Desperate for any kind of success, Gary decides to out himself on YouTube. The moment this ordinary guy goes full-on fur, fangs, and claws, the world can’t get enough of him. He’s the biggest thing on social media, he’s on every talk show, book and movie deals fall in his lap, and for the first time in his life he gets invited to all the best parties.

But celebrity is a special kind of voracious monster. And when Gary’s star begins to lose its luster, he has to decide how far he’ll go to stay relevant in a world that discards has-beens in favor of the next big thing.

Fortunately, Gary has a plan....

“The Werewolf’s 15 Minutes” is a brand-new short story by New York Times best seller and five-time Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, author of Bewilderness and V-Wars (Netflix).

Amazing

That was a nonstop journey through modern what if reality. A must listen audible for sure! Wow!

What a fun short!

Witty, funny, fast paced and chock full of pop culture! This is hands down the best werewolf tale I’ve heard in a while.

And as ever, Mr. Porter’s performance kicks everything up a notch or two!

Wolves gonna wolf!

Short but fun

As usual, Jonathan Maberry didn't disappoint! And Ray Porter also brought his awesome talent!

Fun story

Love the story and the performance. It's fun and super entertaining. Definitely worths listening.

hoooowwwl!!

I loved this! I am a big werewolf lore fan and this is a great short contemporary story. highly recommend it!

Bing Bang for under 2 Hours

Well holy crap, Maberry and Porter do it again.

I have to say that I think Jonathan is my favorite author, hands down. His ability to layer so much detail into a small amount of space is amazing. Taking his ability to create these characters, and Ray's ability to give them life through his voice, it's a tag team that rivals Hogan and Macho Man.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a good short story, you found it here. Give it a listen, you will not be disappointed.

(Jonathan, please.....can we somehow intergrade this story into RTI? That would be freaking legit!)

Interesting.

In a time when everything is easily uploaded to computers and sent world wide, everyone is looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Gary Bruce is just like everyone else.. well, not really. He’s a werewolf, and to become a viral sensation, Gary and his friends decide to post a video of Gary’s transformation.
Getting insanely high views and movie deals and beaucoos of attention, Gary is living the high life. But for how long can he stay on top? How far will he go to keep all this newfound glory? When is enough enough when your name is known in every household across America?

Another short audio book. This one wasn’t one I was dying to listen to. The story line was good and the ending not entirely what I expected. I actually enjoyed that ending.. kind of reminded me of Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. A sort of “out with a bang” kind of vibe. It isn’t super scary or frightening, but it portrays the concept of “likes” and “shares” that people nowadays are willing to do anything to get. We focus so hard on trying to prove ourselves to other people we don’t even know, that we lose sight of ourselves and who we really are.
Chose this book for the A-Z Challenge: letter W.

Dude, the humour is totally righteous

Overall it was interesting. The fickleness of today's society is very real. On social media one minute they like you, the next they don't. No one bothers to find out the facts, just what the herd and it's mentality wants to believe. This story deals with this issue in a way that most can comprehend, even when their brains are thoroughly baked and critical thinking issues put aside. It was fun to listen to and even funny at times.

Totally enjoyable read.

Did not know if I felt sorry for him. in the end I loved him.

Fun and Intriguing

This story should be a movie starring Aaron Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the narrator..
