Insomnia and Seven More Short Stories

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Dan Delgado

Insomnia is a collection of eight exciting short stories (plus one bonus story) that tackle several different genres including action, science-fiction, horror, noir, and thriller.

Written by best-selling author, Jeremy Robinson, these stories include all of the action, imagination, and twists that fans have come to expect, but they also contain experiments into subjects and voices not normally touched on in his novels.

Insomnia - In a world of super efficiency and equality, sleep is illegal and Feene keeps the masses going.

The Eater - Three children discover a writhing black puddle in the woods of New Hampshire.

Harden’s Tree - A group of teens visit a tree planted atop the ashes of a mass murderer from late 1800’s.

Star Crossed Killers - Two lovers, both deadly killers, compete for the same target.

Counting Sheep - A future terrorist gives an insomniac three minutes to fall asleep.

Hearing Aid - In the future, a deaf man is healed, but does he like what he hears?

Dark Seed of the Moon - Vampires live, and kill, in the eternal shadow of the moon’s polar crater.

From Above - In the future, a detective goes after terrorists who vaporized his city - and his arm - from space.

Bonus story:

Bought and Paid For - A brutal character sketch for Scott Sigler’s The Crypt.

Critic reviews

“Rocket-boosted action, brilliant speculation, and the recreation of a horror out of the mythologic past, all seamlessly blend into a rollercoaster ride of suspense and adventure.” (James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Eye of God)

“With Threshold Jeremy Robinson goes pedal to the metal into very dark territory. Fast-paced, action-packed and wonderfully creepy! Highly recommended!” (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin)

“If you like thrillers original, unpredictable and chock-full of action, you are going to love Jeremy Robinson...” (Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of Pirate Alley)

A nice collection of stories

This is an interesting collection of short stories, and whilst I found a number of them interesting and engaging, they didn't resonate with me the way Jeremy Robinson's full length novels do. Having said that, this collection, contains stories of varying genres that Robinson doesn't usually touch on which shows a different side to him.

At the conclusion of each story Robinson gives us some insight into how the idea came about and I found myself connecting with some of the underlying phobias myself.

Dan Delgado does a good job of the narration and kept good pace throughout.

Whilst it won't go down as my favourite Jeremy Robinson read, it is certainly worth a listen.

a solid collection

This was a good collection of short stories that are all different flavors of horror. They're all pretty short, so good for listening in short spurts while going to work or the store. The narration is done well. I enjoyed all of the stories (for the most part) but some more than others. They're all pretty short, so I don't want to go into any details (to avoid spoilers). I'll suffice it to say I liked Dark Seed of the Moon and The Eater, but I found Hearing Aid to be just ok. Anyway, as a collection, I think it's good and worth checking out.

Short Stories

There was only one story in the group that did not appeal to me, so I consider this a very good book. Some of the stories were very short and others a little longer. They were all well written and well performed.
