Earthworm Gods II: Deluge

By: Brian Keene

Narrated by: Scott Weinberg

In Brian Keene's cult-classic Earthworm Gods, global super-storms decimated the planet, eradicating most of mankind. In the midst of this ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity fought against a supernatural menace in a war that ranged from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea.

Now, the battle continues. As the last of the mountains sink beneath the waves, the survivors make a desperate final stand. But the worms aren't the only enemy they face. The worldwide ocean is host to a legion of monsters, each more terrifying than the last, and mankind is vastly outnumbered by these new horrors. Adrift at sea and struggling to stay alive, the surviving members of the human race cling to a thin strand of hope. But their possible salvation may be worse than their looming extinction....

Amazing as always

Can't wait for the next Brian Keene novel to come to Audible! Everyone of his books are awesome. Hopefully we'll get Earthworm Gods selected scenes from the end of the world soon.

Hopeless

This story is not a feel good light hearted romp. It is horrible, depressing, and relentlessly downtodden. But isn't that some great horror?! Worth the listen. The only complaint I had was that the writing seemed a little poorly editied and the audio recording did as well. I kind expected a little more polish from a big hitter like Keene. Still, it wont spoil the book so dive in and beware the white fuzz!

100% loved this

I am not surprised - this was amazing, per usual for Brian Keene. Post apocalyptic genius.

A unique horror story

Brain Keene is the master of action packed horror story that lack Hollywood plot armour and endings. I love his novels and this is one of his best!

Scott Ruins Another One

I see that Audible floods their content with false reviews just like on Amazon. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR CREDIT until they hire a new narrator.

I couldn't make it an hour before I got annoyed beyond belief with this terrible narration. My nephew does a better reading to his kids than Scott's lispy messed up narration. I said screw it and just bought the actual books so I could enjoy the story.

I couldn't even pay attention to the story after an hour and I just made a game out of keeping track of how many times this guy's 3rd grade reading level made an appearance. For examples he constantly messed up on words such as
- Deluge. He said Da Looge
- Buried as Burried. Like BURR - ED
- Garnet as Garnit then back to Garnet
- Buoyed as Boyd
- Laudermilk as Louder Milk
- Rushing as Russian
- Book as Buck
- Then constantly saying Leviathan as LeviathON and then back to the right way

The lisp I could get over but the weird pronunciation of common words and inconsistency of voices was too much to handle.

Every character would be given a woman's voice with smatterings of Christian Bale's Batman for no reason and he had worse timing for speaking as characters worse than Andrew first began telling jokes in Bicentennial Man. Then for funzies their voices would crack like prepubescent teenagers randomly. Also, I'm pretty sure a character is supposed to have a light English accent and not Christian Bale Batman and Mike Tyson's lispy pre-teen love child, I'm just saying.

I really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because the first book was his first Audible narration but nope. This guy's just as terrible as Ray Charles's reading glasses.

Boring and Pointless

Story was repetitive. Characters were cardboard cutouts. The worldbuilding was plain corny and unimaginative.

SO. SO. AWFUL. 0/10 do not recommend

This book is preformed as bad as the first one. the story is only slightly better. its truely awful. monotone, same , dull voice thru-out. I wouldmt bother buying this. id read the paper version tho.
