About this listen
She watched a strip of flesh on the table curl up suddenly at the ends as if dropped onto something hot. She looked closely at the severed head and prayed it couldn't be so. Then, she saw the slack lips twitch and the remaining eye in that ruined head, blink slowly.
Part One: The Things
Run. Hide. Pray. If they find you, pray for death. An unthinkable science - and captives held prisoner by an alien race grown from the morally desolate branches of evolution's tree.
Part Two: The Green
When the moons come up, get inside. At night on the jungle-wrapped planet called Verde's Revenge, they avoid the dense and beautiful bush and take refuge in something with solid doors and windows that close tight. It's a good rule to follow. If you forget it - hope death comes quickly.
Part Three: The Cleaving
Hazel's venom-induced visions reveal a new danger, ominous and deadly - and stir memories of long-ago events, grotesque and monstrous.
Author's Note: I finished the first draft of Dominant Species, the original title of the three-volume story, in 1996 and published it a decade later. I then set it aside, which, in my mind, was just the place for it. Never through with - nor satisfied - with the story, I've continued to write it, on and off, since the first draft. This edition, the parts combined, renamed, retitled, and the story restructured, is now in the form first intended for it, and the previous versions have been unpublished. Those who have read and enjoyed the story over the years will find this revised edition, with its present dimensions and shape, an even more exciting and satisfying listen.

After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal. They’re wrong.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Six months after he arrived, Bowie learned the hard truth about Oasis. There are rules, and they are made to be followed. The consequence of disobedience is deadly. Once you’re in Oasis, you’re never getting out. And its cultish founder has eyes everywhere. One year into his survival, with a plan to escape slowly simmering to life, Bowie is faced with a problem. New members have joined the community, among them a man who catches Bowie’s eye. Foster is attractive, older, and as far as Bowie is concerned, completely unavailable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 496
It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.

Years ago, when plagues and natural disasters killed millions of people, much of the world stopped dreaming. Without dreams, people are haunted, sick, mad, unable to rebuild. The government soon finds that the Indigenous people of North America have retained their dreams, an ability rumored to be housed in the very marrow of their bones. Soon, residential schools pop up — or are re-opened — across the land to bring in the dreamers and harvest their dreams.

The night uncovers all we wish not to see. A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption - or maybe they'll settle for some old-fashioned revenge. But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger.

Not the best
This story is very imaginative and its premise is great, but the characters are not very likable and the author seems to be making many assumptions about human nature that I cannot relate to nor empathize with. Maybe if this author took his great imagination and teamed up with someone who could build likable and relatable characters he would have something.
