The next jarring journey....

With the mystic armament back in his possession, Venir is once again the Darkslayer. But he can’t be everywhere at once. Tragedy still happens. A year has passed, and the growing underling threat is bigger and stronger than ever. But he can't be everywhere at once.

Tragedy still happens....

Venir, Melegal, and Haze make their way north to the City of Three only to find themselves at odds with each other as well as the strange and dangerous elements of the Outlands. In the City of Three, Kam is reunited with her friends Billip and Georgio but finds little comfort in their arrival.

The godlike being Scorch makes his move....

In a grand effort to control the world of Bish, Scorch, an all-powerful infinite being, aligns himself with the diabolical underlings making them an unstoppable alliance on Bish.

Can the Darkslayer and his friends withstand the onslaught of evil, or will they perish in the sunbaked Outlands of Bish?

Unprofessional Narration

It may have been a kitchen "studio".

Notable annoyances:
Cell phone ringing in the background ~4 times

Crazy music at the end of each chapter , starting about 1/3 through the series.

Someone being heard cooking in the background

Whispered voice near the Mic, in unrelated to the book.

Narrator being lazy with punctuation.


Don't put yourself though this.

The story was Ok. Writing; word choice and tired phrases, was not great. A good, not great, high school student could have written this well.

A series I did enjoy by this author: Supernatural Bounty Hunter series.

I could not believe it was the same author, except for one "tell" in his writing style.

I made it though this stubbornly hoping it would get better. I really liked the other series.

Master Sinway?

Lots of errors and missing parts. I could overlook them but really bad was there was nothing saying how Master Sinway was finished. That was really Crappy. So I am just guessing lol. Good story though, just need to fix all the mistakes and missing parts for a 5 star

Fun story, rough narration

The story was good, but the narrator couldn’t keep one voice for one character. I don’t mean he didn’t have enough of a range I mean he used different voices for the same character. I found myself having to go back to make sure who he was talking about And the whinny voice got hard to listen to. It the reason I’m not getting the Dragon series.

The Dark Slayer Collection

This collects the first ten novels in the Darkslayer series, by Craig Halloran. The Dark Slayer series is one of Halloran’s darker series, and I think its okay for young adults, but those of your whom like to review work before letting the kiddies listen, should enjoy this work well enough.

These books follows the adventures of Bish, and his hack and slash fantasy journeys.

I have always taken issue with the narrator Lee Alan. He reads in a very cartoonish style, with sound effects and exaggerated, stereotypical voices. My nephews love him, but as an adult, I feel his work takes away from the seriousness of the novels.

Other than that, I highly recommend the works of Craig Halloran, and thoroughly enjoy the Dark Slayer series.

What a fantastic narrator

This is now the fourth huge Craig Halloran - Lee Alan audiobook I've started on.
Chronicles of Dragon 51 hours
Tail of the Dragon 54 hours
The Darkslayer 86 hours
You'll likely want to get Darkslayer before getting the Bish&Bone extension.
Lee Alan tells these stories well with many different distinct voices. It's always very easy to keep track of what is going on.

Highly recommended.

a waste of money

One of the slowest books I've listened to ever. The book jumps around to much to keep my interest

mediocre story poorly edited

the story is nothing special, there's only so many times you can resurrect characters before death loses any real value as a story element. the narration is OK however the narators pacing and stressing is odd and there are multiple odd pronunciations that are also inconsistant eg a character being variously referred to as pall and paul in the same sentence. with regards to editing, between this and the darkslayer omnibus there are multiple repeated chapters and sections, background noise, interference on the recording, pauses so long I thought playback had stopped and found myself checking to see if the app had paused just as the dialogue started again. I assume missing chapters or at least paragraphs as some of the story seems to be missing but that could be from the text I don't know honestly the story was so unengaging I may have just forgotten major plot points. admittedly I was invested enough in the story to sit through over 130hours of listening but I drive 12 hours a day and have a lot of "ear time" to kill that being said it felt more like a chore to get through where as many longer form works leave me iching to get back behind the wheel so I can continue the story. In short it's marginally better than silence

Loved it

My first ever purchase was Darkslayer omnibus. Over 200 books ago. It is very well done both the story and mr Allan brings this epic to life. Funny and sometimes a little vague only adds to the characters Brilliant how you can imagine in your mind the story and it heroes. Awesome.
