Wolfsbane by Jacob Peyton | Full Free Horror Audiobook
A weekend at Charlie's Uncle's cabin seemed like a good idea, a fun Spring Break trip where they could all unwind and have a little fun. But, when they get attacked by a creature that shouldn't exist their trip soon becomes a nightmare.
Now, Lindsey and her friends will have to do whatever it takes to survive against a savage backwoods clan, whose secrets are revealed by the light of the full moon.
Will they survive the fight between man and beast? Or, will they live only to face a fate worse than death?

    It's frankly astounding how Titan got the rights to Conan and have absolutely hit it out of the park in every way. When you think that Marvel just had the rights and really dithered with it. For a publisher that is way smaller in scale it's just awesome. Someone actually knows what they're doing at Titan.

    I just found out about this book and at first the premise sounded super interesting, exactly what i would be into, but its sad to see almost everyone sayong that its crap, i am gonna skip it then i guess. Its kinda how i was with midnight circus. Its a story about a misterious magic cirkus that just randomly appears next to towns, is open for a few nights then disappears, but it has the most incredible shows anyone ever gonna see. Plus there are two mages working there who are bound to the circus and are forced into a magic duel/game that takes years by their evil masters. Now this sounds fantastic and thrilling, but i cant imagine how was it even possible to make such a great idea into such a boring book, nothing even happens.

Dont just take my opinion on it, maybe you would fit into the first half idk. Altho it kinda felt like the writer just started based on a general idea and just wrote whatever came to mind with little to no planing or revision, its more about the vibe rather than a plot.

    to be fair, we already know the overall arc of the story. boy leaves cimmeria and goes on crazy adventures and becomes king. so the one off model can work well. it is interesting how they are trying to fill in gaps, although the howard absolutists probably get sick at the thought of the waters of canon being further muddied. as a fan, i would give it a 3.5 out of 5. i could see bon fans being bored. ultimately, for me the goal is to read a captivating story, so i dont care if the sentances so much sound like howard wrote them as i do that the charachters are portrayed in a way that is fitting. the problem i would have as an author is being fresh while still being conan. thats a tricky rope to walk.

    Hey, Jacob Peyton. English actor Sean Bean plays Sharpe in the TV series, not American actor Sean Penn. "Scriptures", when Hakeswill says it, sort of refers to army regulations. I don't want to sound too critical so that is it on the corrections. Bernard Cornwell, the author of the Sharpe books has other character sets worth reading, including the Saxon series ... TV series The Last Kingdom. Another good historical-fiction series (also set in the Napoleonic Wars period, but at sea) is Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series ... movie Master and Commander. If you review that one remember that Captain Jack Aubrey is played by Russell Crow in the movie, not Kurt Russell, who plays Col. Jack O'Neil in Stargate.

    Thanks for the review! I am really digging your reviews for these books! I'm actually happy either way (PG-13 vs NC-17). I don't mind if they are tame or out there. I used to always read Christopher Pike books and RL Stine back in the day. I also loved Lois Duncan's books when I was younger. They emphasized and focused more on the psychological rather than the gore because they were targeted toward teens and I think they skewed more toward teen girls perhaps (before it was a known stat that females love hardcore horror just as much as guys). None of these books were all that multi-layered or made for the Ivy League - just good scary fun. Of course, today is different so I am just seeing what's out there - I don't read YA anymore though once in awhile I don't mind it even if I am much older! hehe The 80s and early 90s had some great horror books and had writers who had a string of hits, in addition to one-offs by new writers. I think the real barometer is whether they stand up to (or are interesting enough for) re-reading.

      @jacobpeyton6966 9 місяців тому

      I hadn't even heard of the Empires trilogy until now. If the third book didn't mention Cormyr in the description I'd say they look like straight up historical fiction novels. Also, having a new author for each book is always jarring, Games Workshop does that for a lot of their series. Have you read the Moonshae trilogy by Douglas Niles? That series is one of my all time favorites and maybe a little more of the style I was expecting going into these books.

    Did it just kinda stop for anyone else? Or is that supposed to be the ending?

    Yeah... the newer edition of this book from valancourt has an intro that spoils a large chunk of the book. DO NOT READ THE INTRO before you read the book. You will be very disappointed if you do.

      Oh darn, that's a shame I really love the new cover though compared to the edition I have. I've read several of their Paperbacks from Hell releases and it does seem to happen a lot with their intros. That being said I still love their releases and am looking forward to picking up the Manly Wade Wellman John the Balladeer they just put out.

    I think Hadrian grows more in the next two books

      I agree he grows a lot in the next book, and in Ashes of Man.

    I bought this book solely because of the cover, sounds cool too!

    I read this book in Grade 10 English class for a personal reading project and really liked it and hugely surprised by how different it was as well.

      I really wonder if there's novelizations of the films anywhere? I feel the second one especially would be a fun read.

      @jacobpeyton6966 I don't know but I wish this book got a good adaptation I wish Corman didn't get it because it had potential to be a far better film series.

      @@Saint3188 Completely agree, he added so much stuff that wasn't necessary for what was already a fun, pulpy story. The flu/ world take over plot was very over the top. Especially, since this movie released neck and neck with Jurassic Park. It could of been the campy Tremors esq alternative to Universals blockbuster and to your point a really good series.

      @jacobpeyton6966 It would be nice to have an extreme mainstream Dinosaur movie instead of PG 13 level as well. I still recommend the book to people who like Dinosaurs
