Garth Marenghi's Throttle and Bribes

De: Garth Marenghi

Narrado por: Garth Marenghi

The Sunday Times-Bestselling horror master Garth Marenghi returns with a short tale of semi-simian supernatural horror...

Horror novelist Nick Steen (whose imagination has escaped from a portal to another dimension situated within his own brain following ill-advised dabblings with a cursed typewriter) is haunted by two murdering men-monkeys intent on peeling their victims apart like massive human bananas (whose names are Throttle and Bribes, hence the title). Can Nick protect two young siblings (whose names he can't remember) plus erstwhile editor Roz Bloom from the aforementioned murdering men-monkeys before it's too late? The answer lies this short story I have called 'Throttle and Bribes' (after the names I chose for the aforementioned two murdering men-monkeys).

About the Author
Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. He taught for nine years at his local library reading group before becoming a full-time horror writer. He has published numerous novels of terror (too numerous to list, nay count), over five hundred short stories, and has edited thirty anthologies of his own work, which have all received the Grand Master of Darkdom Award. He wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for the Peruvian market, which subsequently aired on Channel 4 and has not been repeated due to its radical and polemic content. His 2022 novel Garth Marenghi's TerrorTome became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller, followed in 2023 by Garth Marenghi's Incarcerat. He is an honorary fellow.

The narration and story set the bar for the macabre.

The problem with Nick Steen is that he doesn't write fast another to satisfy my appetite for his work. As with all of his work, it will change your life in unexpected ways. I wish I could put it down after the 20th listen.

Monkey Madness

An instant classic for a bedtime story, ill be sure to read to my kids. Fantastic book written by a Fantastic writer

Another genius piece of horror.

I think Mathew Holness is one of the funniest writers I've ever read. His narration is incredible and adds so much to the story.

Short but Sweet

Another funny addition to the Garth Marenghi oeuvre. He did a superb job at scaring me senseless, explaining the plot, and showing me how clever a writer he is. Can't wait to read more!!!
