Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's been dead for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all. On his side, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's up against tough odds....

A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history - and magical citizens - to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

Few things are worse than undeveloped planets, especially those that haven’t even made it to the soufflé stage. To top it off, this particular planet comes with its own insane ruler and an Orb That Controls Everything and Must Be Respected.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives. Including their gruesome deaths. Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

Good police work and bad luck lead him to crack a case that changes quickly from a career-making break into a high-profile humiliation when footage of his pursuit of the suspect - wildly inappropriate murder weapon in hand - becomes an Internet sensation.

Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Publisher's Summary
We were prepared for an earthquake. We had a flood plan in place. We could even have dealt with zombies. Probably.
But no one expected the end to be quite so... sticky... or strawberry scented.
Yahtzee Croshaw (Mogworld, Zero Punctuation Reviews) returns to print with a follow-up to his smash-hit debut: Jam, a dark comedy about the one apocalypse no one predicted.

Okay story ruined by inexplicable narration
If you’re looking for the sharp, snappy narration Yahtzee Croshaw is known for, I’m sorry to say you couldn’t get any further from it! Go ahead, get the book if you’re a fan of zombie apocalypse films, but imagine the plot being told to you second hand by a very sleepy and bored person.

The Don character had me laughing out loud
This book was incredibly entertaining once the action got going! The Don character and his relationship with Travis was hysterical - at times I actually laughed out loud. At other times i was horrified by events in the story. I feel like each time Yahtzee Croshaw comes out with another book it’s been better than the last, although this one id say tied with my favorite book of his, “Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash”.

it's a story you always think is going to get more interesting or deeper, featuring a protagonist you think is finally going to do something. right up until the very end. Not Yahtzee's strongest work but it's good for a laugh in plenty of parts.

Not the best but enjoyable
I was really looking forward to another quality story in Yahtzee Crowshaws angry voice but this was not as good as previous books I’ve listened to. I like the idea of a book based on The Floor is Lava that everyone played but for me, just not enough happened. If you zone out for a while and then back in again nothing seems to happen. Also I recognise the character voices from previous books, makes understanding the new characters more difficult. Terrible, terrible American accent, must have been ironic.

Was really getting into this book for a while but honestly the cult almost made me want to stop. Felt like every time they appeared, it broke my engagement just for Yahtzee to give me a boring grammar lecture and rant about young people. Thankfully I'd say it got better at the end with an engaging tragic ending but I don't think it's one I'll listen to again.

But some of the charaters can be very frustrating at times. The twists and overall still is reasonably. But not as fun a Differently Morpheus or Will Save the Galaxy for Food.

The Worst Of The Best
Yahtzee is without a doubt one of my favourite authors, I've enjoyed all of his work from his books, to ZP & Extra Punctuation. Of his books though this is undeniably his weakest work. The characters don't pop like the ones in Mogworld nor are they as engaging as the ones in Will Save the Galaxy For Food, Differently Morphous, Will Destroy The Galaxy For Cash or Existentially Challenged. His narration to is more monotone than in them which can make it a bit of chore to get through the first chapter, both in audio & paperback form.
But it is still enjoyable. He took the concept of flesh eating jam terrorising Brisbane & made it work, the humour is still spot on with his usual wit & there are some great straight up horror vibes. There is a reason his work is the primary inspiration for the book I'm currently working on.
If Yahtzee's other books are all 8's, 9's & 10/10's; then Jam is easily a 7/10.

Unique and quirky adventure
A fantasticly funny world with a charming set of characters.
I loved the plastic men society and there were a few pretty great little twists.

Why having an editor is so important.
Look, it goes without saying that the work Yatzee produces are all bangers, and his previous narrations were perfect for the characters being portrayed. Unfortunately, this is a big deterrent from them. Cutting straight to the point, the big thing that took me away from enjoying this experience was the audio editing (or lack of). I’m unsure if Croshaw edited this himself or if someone from Audible was responsible for it, but whoever it was, they dropped the ball. Lack of pauses between dramatic moment or new chapters, too much pausing between characters talking, having Croshaw taking a deep breath in my ears or hearing his lips smacking in his one long take, all of it is just unprofessional. The worst offender came during the second last chapter, where the audience hears him do a second take, repeating the same sentence.
I don’t think any of us know what was going on behind the scenes, but I personally want to chalk this up as another casualty of 2020's staff shortages.

Not great
The big killer is just how bland and unexciting Yahtzee's performance is. This is a guy who writes brilliantly clever and entertaining weekly game reviews for millions. It baffled me that he somehow delivered a narration that is the audio equivalent of microwave oats. I LOVED "will save the galaxy for food” and "will destroy the galaxy for cash" because of how engaged it got me.
His clever writing is all here but his heart isn't. I get it's a dark humour novel but... Why does he sound like he's reading his custody arrangements?
I was listening while driving and a good 10 minutes went by before I realised I didn't absorb anything he said. So instead of going back to re-listen I just switched to Spotify.

Croshaw ruins his own book
I generally love Croshaw's writing and narration, but his narration of Jam really let's the whole work down. The premise of Jam is inherently silly, so the story is, of course, also silly. No problem. It's a fun and funny concept. Also, Croshaw's characters are often flawed, insecure, and intentionally mildly irritating, also no problem.
But the way the Croshaw reads the characters and dialogue in Jam makes them completely intolerable. Snivelling, petulant, whinging, pathetic, frustrating. Everything, every line of dialogue, is delivered with a nasal rising inflection, whinging and grating and undermining the characters in completely unnecessary ways.
This book is only for Croshaw's most dedicated fans. I strongly recommend just reading the book yourself, you'll enjoy it much more. Sadly, Croshaw ruined his own book here.

He puts his abilities to the best use possible and that isn't by being a scientist. Besides, the space station Belvaille doesn't need scientists. It is not, generally, a thinking person's locale.

Claire Hansen was a Keeper, a member of that select group that kept the universe in one piece. And now she'd been Summoned to the Elysian Fields Guesthouse, a rundown bed-and-breakfast that seemed to attract the most unusual clientele. And Claire was not happy about this latest assignment, not happy at all. Not when she'd been tricked into taking over here by a horrible little gnome of a man who'd abandoned his post before she'd even figured out who he really was. Not when room six held a resident who'd been sleeping there for so many years that she really needed a good dusting - except that it was far too dangerous for anyone to get that close to her.
