Publisher's summary
Ruled by a committee of Hags, and fueled by toothless rivalries, Black County lurks just far enough out of the way to be completely unnoticed by the rest of civilization. Its inhabitants have been mentally warped for generations and the land itself seems to have the power to drive anyone unlucky enough to visit into ridiculous hillbilly madness.
When a construction Company needs to bury a pipeline through its ludicrous hills and valleys, a twisted charm goes to work and every aspect of already bizarre Black County life takes a gory turn for the hysterical. Take a preposterous trip along with its citizens, both native and new, through escapades such as the Hag parade, the grand opening of Madame Skunk's House of Ill Repute, the demolition derby riot, and the rabid zombie clown apocalypse.

Story
Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Story
For years Chuck Palahniuk has reserved his best storytelling for his readings, often choosing to read a new short story instead of whatever novel he is supposed to be promoting. Make Something Up compiles these previously unpublished tales for the very first time, plus the Byliner social media insta-classic "Phoenix" and Palahniuk's most notable pieces from Playboy.

Story
You don't have to be a hunter or camper to enjoy this collection of hilarious stories by a writer who is often compared to Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor. In fact, the charm of Patrick F. McManus' work is that it provides plenty of reasons for staying indoors, surrounded by friendly appliances. You'll laugh aloud as McManus and his friends, including Rancid and Crazy Eddie, venture into the great outdoors to face formidable foes.

A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Story
In his debut collection of short stories, Robert Sheehan disappears into characters, challenging the complacencies of everyday experience, often from entirely unexpected angles. Informed by the author’s peripatetic life, Disappearing Act reflects on the absurdity of human behaviour. Sheehan delves deep into his characters’ streams of self-talk and self-imposed delusions, exploring the dark impulses that lurk below the shiny surfaces of many outwardly normal lives.

Story
My name's Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I'm the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I'm an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn't commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was "saved" by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet.

Hags Run Amok
Black county is run by hags (witches). The inhabitants are generally idiots who fight among themselves about everything and anything. It is the annual hag parade and festival and everyone comes to watch the hag fights and demolition derby.
That’s about all there is to this plot-less mess. It is basically an endless stream of scenes of hags and idiots tripping over themselves. It might be funny if there was some sort of sense to the madness, rather than endless descriptions of characters and scenes about ugly and witless characters. At first, I thought it might be a children’s book, it is so nonsensical, but the crude language and sexual innuendos eliminated that possibility.
While listening, I tried desperately to find something redeeming in this mélange of chaos, but ultimately failed to do so. Writing a book is a great work of effort and applaud all authors the effort, then to go further and record it, speaks to that task. Unfortunately, there is simply nothing here to merit listing to this novella/long short story? Perhaps with thoughtful editing, it could be transformed into a children’s book about witches and idiots. But that is not for me to say. My apologies to the author, I just can’t find anything here.
The story is performed by the author, who with her enthusiasm and character voices does a reasonably good job and has a good voice. Unfortunately, the production quality is somewhat poor, like listening in a room with too much echo. The music at the beginning and end are poorly mixed and it is hard to hear the announcer. Also, somewhere near the end, there is an irritating guitar piece that shocks the listener. It isn’t just a moment or two, but almost a whole song. Most audiobook listeners prefer the story and not music in their audio.
Unfortunately, there is no way to recommend this book, no audience I can conceive of who would find it worth listening to.
