Let me tell you about Scott Sigler and his great podcast horror novel EarthCore Death from Below. It's the very first podcast novel and it's free to listen to. Goto http://www.scottsigler.net/earthcore, or you can pick up a hard copy at Amazon.com and take a listen/read and become a junkie like the rest of us. You can also find out about Scott's newest book coming out. You can also hit at http://sidsspot.blogspot.com/ and comment on my blogs about entertainment you like and think it needs to be known about.

I must say I'm sorry I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to spam, sell, or other wise, just want to share a good book and how to get it. But what good books are there out there?
Books I like
Most of Stephen King and Dean Koots.
Though hard to follow I also like Peter Shrab (<-- I think) co-autherd with Stephen King in the Talisman and Black House.
Bram Storker's Dracula very long but good.

I've just been reading William Hope Hodgson series books called CARNACKI. Your basic Ghost hunter with almost realistic tellings of hantings, both real and fake within the story. These are very old books and the setting is in what seems the mid to late 1800's in England. Very good read.

Gotta start somewhere, right midnite? One seems like a good enough place, I think I'll start there too!
I think EarthCore was great too and definitely can't beat the price! It's got something like 10,000 downloads so far. I loved the Stephen King Dark Tower series also. Thery're sort of connected to the Talisman and Blackhouse. But, way more blood and guts in EarthCore! ha! ha!
Glad I found this site.
Slasherman: can you recommend any horror audiobook titles? The scarier the better!:D

I think midnite1869's the real deal; EarthCore just has that effect on people
I've listened to it since the prologue podcasts, and it's pretty damn good. Like many a good book, you've got to stick with it through an episode before it really starts to grow on you (and before the author's voice stops sounding funny reading as different characters).
The big plot mystery is definitely a good surprise, as are the many and varied ways your favourite characters are picked off, one by one.

..nope..never heard a audio horror book....
Dean Koots? - what is he Dean Koontz's older brother?
And- am I the only one who senses one person posting as multiple people here?!?!?! I've never heard of Earthcore - and noticed when looking on amazon that it was an "ipublish" and the new paperback version isn't even out yet. . . hmm, lots of "people" seem to be championing this vanity press book. . .
well, you know what they say, if it don't gel it ain't aspic . . and this ain't geling.

Whatever you say, Zero.
Anyone who knows anything about podcasting has heard about EarthCore, the first podcast novel. You can download all the episodes of the audio version for free at scottsigler dot net.
His new book, Ancester, is currently the number 4 podcast at podcastalley dot com.
Do a little more reasearch, eh?
;)

"fan: noun A person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular sport, art form, or famous person : football fans | I'm a fan of this author.
DERIVATIVES fandom |ˈfandəm| noun ORIGIN late 19th cent.(originally U.S.): abbreviation of fanatic ."
Last I checked, fans do what they do because their fans, not because they get paid. Who else would bother replying to your bs but a fan?
I'm also a Firefly/Serenity fan. What to poo poo that too?

No one, outside you three, have commented on the Podcast. Even you three haven't had much to say about Earthcore, spending most of your time defending one another.
Had anyone actually been discussing the work, I would have kept my comments to myself. I try to avoid de-railing a thread.
Call me a skeptic... hell it's what I am, but when I see little nuggets like
"and definitely can't beat the price"
"Earthcore just has that effect on people"
"currently the number 4 podcast at podcastalley dot com."
my spammy-spidey sense gets to tingling.
As for Dic-quoting a common word and "responding to my bs". There's no need to get petty. I made an OT assertion, in a dead thread, and showed my reasoning. Attack my reasoning, show a defense or ignore me.
On the plus side, re-reading the thread reminded me to look for Midnight's suggestion of "Carnacki". I've a bit of a soft spot for GasLight.

I like Firefly, too, Robin. I own the box set and have seen the movie twice. However, I do not like it so much that I couldn't offer a couple of choice critcisms for any spam-marketing tactics Joss Whedon might have made.

Funny... that's what I was thinking too. The other day, I saw a whole bunch of books by an author named Stephen Coonts. Ahem. I know where that name came from and what it was meant for to confuse a less watchful Dean Koontz fan...
(Or was he first, and Dean Koontz named himself after?!)
:D
