Beneath a Pale Sky

De: Philip Fracassi

Narrado por: Adriel Brandt

Fans of cosmic horror will have much to sup on in these eight tales. The supernatural intrudes upon a wedding; a pier becomes the site of tragedy; a collapsed building is only the start of the nightmare for those trapped in the ruins; a scientist makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to find out that what he’s unearthed has dire consequences not only for himself, but for all of mankind.

I really enjoyed this book!

I loved the different stories in this book. The last story was my favorite! It was well written and each story was captivating! Listening to this book on my way to work and it's fairly dark while driving to work. I was a little scared listening to one of the stories. I enjoy reading this author's books! One of the stories connects to his book, A Child Alone with Strangers. That book was great! Check out another book by this author, Boys in the Valley! I loved the narrator's reading and his accent!

loved it

I love how he writes his characters and how he pulls you into the story till you cannot put it down

Unsatisfying

The performance was fine, nothing special, but my main issue was with the stories themselves. Most of them felt like the author didn’t actually know how he wanted to end them, so he left them on an ambiguous note. This isn’t always a downside, but for all of them? The first & the last stories were the only exceptional parts of the book.

Lots and f surprises!!

Enjoyed the book very much! I read a lot and find it hard to be surprised and these stories delivered on the twist you don’t see coming! One made me cry and I think that speaks for itself. Looking forward to more from Phillip.

Great book of stories

Honestly didn’t like the reader at first but the stories make up for it. You know it’s a good story when you’re frustrated at the ending, as most leave you guessing at the conclusion. Super dark and beautifully written.

Probably would have been good, but...

The first story had me interested in the characters and how the drama was going to play out, but the narrator is not good. There's a particularly pretentious quality to everything he says that just does not fit this type of work. He'd probably be fine reading off a set of Ted Hughes poems, but not this. The payoff of the first story wasn't really enough to make me want to sit through eight more hours of _that_ voice speaking in _that_ way. I may end up picking up a written copy to see what happens with "Wheel."

Meh

The only story I enjoyed was the last one. The other stories had very poorly thought out endings.

Horrible delivery of what might be good stories…

I should have been paid to listen to the two I forced myself to endure. Flat delivery, pauses at the wrong moments… of stories that may have been ok. The author should feel wronged.

By the book and read it.

lame

The stories are boring, and the narration is meh. I heard great things about this collection and couldn't continue after the second story ended, getting only that far because I didn't have other downloads.
