Publisher's summary

“My Dark Itch: Confessions of a Killer Comedian” is the fictional autobiography of a stand-up comedian turned cold-blooded serial killer. This sprawling tale takes the reader on a journey from his tortured upbringing, his adventures in the entertainment world, his near-death experiences and his ultimate turn to the dark side. From the seedy shadows of basement night clubs to the dazzling brightness of fame’s spotlight, from tragedy to triumph, his life is deconstructed and examined, warts and all. Both deadly serious and at times uproariously comical, in its heart this is a tale of terror that teases provocative questions with no easy answers. Are some people worth redemption? Do they even want it? What matters most once black and white blurs into grey?

“ ‘My Dark Itch’ by Steve Sabo is one hell of a good read.”

Good Story

I liked the plot and writing style overall. It was an engaging listen that kept my attention. My only gripe with the story is the guy is a comedian, and that wasn't really obvious by the dialog. The main character wasn't exactly funny but that's not really integral to the story or my enjoyment of it. It's a good serial killer story with a complex, well-thought out main character.

My main problem is the stupid robot narration. it wasn't unlistenable per se, but you really lose something not having a human do the voice acting. A lot of idioms are lost/mispronounced, and the inflection is just wrong a lot of the time. I hate that Audible is using robot voices to avoid paying voice actors. And now most of the free books are all AI voiced. It's a shame.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
