Charles L. Grant
Acerca de esta escucha
Multiple award winner Charles L. Grant has written a vampire novel set in the author's distressing little town of Oxrun Station. It is a region to be found on the same maps as Lovecraft's Arkham and King's Castle Rock.
The Soft Whisper of the Dead is the first of the Oxrun tales to be placed in other than a contemporary setting. The first in a trilogy of historical horror novels, it is the account of the evil Count Braslov's attempt to subjugate the Oxrun population to his vampiric will.
This first novel of a fast-paced trilogy is fraught with gas-light atmosphere, plucky women, a befuddled constabulary and is filled with the excitement of the classic vampire tale. Great fun!

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

When Samantha Ashlyn is forced to return to her home town to write an article on a series of drownings, she initially resists, finding disturbing similarities to her childhood experiences. However, once she starts looking into the assignment, she finds that things are not what they seem. An ancient evil is rising again, aided by what appears to be a centuries-old conspiracy to keep it hidden. With the help of a disgraced police diver, Sam races to stop the nightmare before more lives are lost—not realizing that her investigation has put herself and those she loves in terrible danger.

Karl Edward Wagner (1945-1994) has earned a reputation as one of the finest horror writers of the modern era, but his work has been out of print and nearly unobtainable for many years. His seminal volume In a Lonely Place collects eight of his best tales, including "In the Pines," a classic ghost story evocatively set in the Tennessee woods, "Beyond Any Measure," an original take on the vampire story.

And in a fog-drenched cove at the edge of New England, something terrible awakens when a fisherman reels in a gruesome catch: the remains of a young woman. Remains still pulsing with furious life.

When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride.

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure, and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

Olivia Moreland prides herself on discrediting charlatans, particularly the false mediums that flock to London. But when Lord Stephen St. Leger requests her help in investigating an alleged psychic's claims, she can't deny the ominous feeling she has within the walls of his ancient estate - or the intimately familiar connection she has with Stephen himself. The last time he'd called Blackhope Hall home, Stephen had watched as his elder brother claimed both the family title and the woman he loved.

Was Victoria really the assassin's target? Are those closest to the Crown hiding something?

Then a beautiful young woman is found savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey.

Standard vampire tale
This is the story you want if you are looking for the stereotypical vampire tale. It’s not bad but there isn’t anything that stands out to make it unique

Story with some bite
My man Grant has a great love affair with 50's movies, see some of his other book series and Universal Monsters. He gets goofy, but at the same time, it is often a homage with love. The main MC of this book is obvious, and even though it is not a hyper serious tone it plays out well. The narration is great. Give it a chance, you'll have fun.

Classic Monsters - Fresh Tales
The first in a trilogy of classic monster tales, this vampire period piece is both superbly written and skillfully narrated. If you think you've read/seen all the monster stories, give this one a shot, too ... you won't be disappointed.

Ok. Has the merit of brevity.
Tried this mainly due to being in the “Universal Monster-verse” genre. Might try the next 2 (wolf man & mummy) but though it has its moments it’s really rather simply constructed & written with nothing that greatly stands out nor that does anything surprising. Has the merit of brevity & quick pacing with a surprisingly quick wrap up. In all seriousness, why some of these types & this one is considered “classic” is beyond me. Grant’s writing style is rather pedestrian actually, at lest in this one, & if this is representative then, well, I think I’m not missing much.

Campy Bit of Charles Grant Fun
While "Soft Whisper" lacks some of the complexity of other Oxrun Station books, it retains the schlocky fun of Charles Grant. Performance is solid and the story is continually entertaining and punchy. If it veers into camp frequently, it was entertaining enough to motivate me to read the next book in the trilogy.
