The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore ( Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving.

I usually stick sci-fi, but this one end up being very interesting with the way it was laid out and the development. Would recommend if you want something different..

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 211
In 1972, Jeff Rice's novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became an instant best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name. After The Night Stalker became one of the highest rated television movies of all time, a sequel, The Night Strangler, was released the following year to great acclaim. Now, after more than three decades out of print, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume.

Very enjoyable listen. The stories remind me of the 70’s TV show but with more depth. The last take is my favorite as it is new to me. If you watched the Night Stalker as a kid this listen is for you.

Fantastic story and great bonus ending
Reviewed: 05-04-24
If you are not familiar with the Cabal series then you are in for a treat. Excellent storytelling and a great bonus ending. I don’t like to give away the plot in reviews so suffice to say if you enjoy mystery wrapped in the macarb this book will keep you engaged from start to finish. Cabal is a unique blend of Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones and serial sociopath that leaves a reader both fascinated and perplexed. If you’re looking for something a little bit off the beaten path then this is definitely the place to be.

Nancy Kranich (played by Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station. But Nancy hates her job, is sick of space, and longs to find adventure and a safe place to smoke cigarettes that won’t blow everyone up. But when Nancy gets caught up in an outer-space conspiracy involving President Kennedy, former vice-president Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could change the course of history, she gets way more adventure than she bargained for.

Through hard work and, well, tenacity, Jack Black and Kyle Gass catapulted themselves into rock superstardom. But before they were the only two members of the best rock band on earth, they were just Jack and Kyle, two theater students finding their footing in Los Angeles. The D’s trajectory was a slow and steady rise from clubs to a guest spot on the hit show Mr. Show on HBO to albums to film to headlining festivals across the globe. But it wasn’t without its pains. This is their story. These are their Words + Music.

Great mystery/adventure story. A look at an all to possible future for mankind. Great characters, reads like a mystery/detective novel with Just enough hard number Sci Fi to satisfy the geek in me. After finishing book much to my surprise I stumbled into the story again on Amazon video! It had been made into a great series called the Expanse. Talk about a win win!

A book to come back to again and again
Reviewed: 04-21-17
Would you listen to Jurassic Park again? Why?
This story is a classic. I go back to it year after year.
Mr. Crichton skillfully weaves a tale of science/fiction and fact that is frightening and intelectual at the same time.
What did you like best about this story?
The story is very plausible and the Action is really non stop
Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Mr Brick delivers as always
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Already done
Any additional comments?
the book is soooo much more than the movie
If you loved the movie, the book is 10X the fun
