The Long Way Home

By: Richard Chizmar

Narrated by: Matt Godfrey

Gathered here for the first time ever are seventeen short stories, two essays, and a short script by award winning and New York Times, bestselling author, Richard Chizmar.

Eerie, suspenseful, poignant, the stories in The Long Way Home run the gamut from horror to suspense, crime to dark fantasy, mainstream to mystery. This brand new collection features more than 100,000 words of short fiction, as well as more than 5,000 words of autobiographical story notes. Chizmar s previous short story collection, A Long December, was published in 2016 to starred reviews from Library Journal and Kirkus, and was included on numerous Best Books of the Year lists. Entertainment Weekly gave the book high praise: Each tale is a magic trick, luring you toward the light while leading you down an ever-darkening path. There is hope mingled with horror, and that s Chizmar s secret power. His storytelling always beats with a huge, passionate heart.

Stephen King says he writes terrific stories served with a very large slice of disquiet pie, and with The Long Way Home, Richard Chizmar has taken his evocative and compelling storytelling to an entirely new level.

Excellent Collection

THE LONG WAY HOME by Richard Chizmar is an excellent collection of short stories, not a bad story in the entire book. Stories range from sci-fi, horror, coming of age to heartfelt essays and I found all to be very entertaining. The narration by Matt Godfrey is top notch making this a fantastic audiobook experience.

Great Collection

Something here for everyone including the last special story. Chizmar is brilliant, whether I try to read or just listen. There is always horror,fun,terror and feeling.

Wow

Great book. If you like Stephen King you will love this book. Great flow and great narrative

Great work!

These short stories are more than riveting and thought provoking; they allow the listener to take a breath between tales. I love this format! RC is very similar in writing style to Stephen King, yet definitely has his own voice, flare, and twisted-ness that makes his writing unique and familiar at the same time.

I loved the Gwendy stories and am looking forward to the end of the month to get the last and longest installment.

The narrator is awesome. There’s nothing more to say. I love listening to stories read by Matt Godfrey. I will actually try an unfamiliar author if he’s narrating, because I know if he’s reading, it will be good.
