Some that I missed posting about, all from podiobooks.com.
Fried Green Zombies - It's a hoot. F'rinstance, a hot dog that is moving around because the creatures it was made of are now of the undead horde. Also there's a hot alien babe.
How To Succeed in Evil: The Original Podcast Episodesand
How to Succeed in Evil: The NovelTwo versions of the same story. "Alternately funny and dark, a HtSiE is the story of Edwin Windsor, Evil Efficiency Consultant. A biting satire of both modern business and the conventions of the superhero genre."
Dead Mech - Post-apoc mech warrior zombies! Aiyeeee!
Forever Fifteen - Teenage girl vampire. The description makes it sound like
Twilight or something awful, but don't let that put you off.
Conjuring Raine"From San Fransisco's Tenderloin to the Dismal Swamp of North Carolina, human trafficking, vampires, and conjure magic combine in this sexy, funny, spooky story about Raine Black, a struggling comic strip artist with a gift--her comics come true. Enter Joshua: Raine's secret childhood friend, an abolitionist, and a vampire."
Again it's much better than it might sound from the description.
I think she recorded it in
her yurt, because you hear the occasional chirping birds and nature sounds. I found that charming even when they didn't fit with the urban settings.
Only finished out of politeness, hoping they would get better:Doctor Janeway's Plague (I found the plot too complicated, didn't warm up to any of the characters)
Ida (story was just better than "meh" for me, but the author should have gotten someone else to read it. It really annoyed me that the author/reader pronounced the eponymous asteroid colony as "Oida". It caused me to disengage
every time.)
Beautiful Red (If it was compressed to half of its length, it would have been a good start of a story. Something about computer hackers, I think.)
Fiddle and Burn, Vol. 1 - The Adventures of Coyote Man (tried to be funny, but didn't quite make it for me)
Murder at Avedon Hill (not bad, really, but it dragged after a while.)
The Doomsday Club (I have no idea why it's categorized under "Alternate history". It's more like "Animal House" morphing into a Noir flick, so I feel like I'm being mislead twice.)
Could not finish:Dunkin the Vampire Slayer (annoying characters)
The Ex-Wife Files (just annoying)
V and A Shipping (not sure why, we just drifted apart.)
The Failed Cities Monologues (slogged through half of them, too depressing and disconnected)
Tumbler (poor interpretation of physics, some events just too implausible. I think Miley Cyrus would be cast as the protagonist in the movie version.)
