Extraction

By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrated by: Rene Auberjonois

From number-one New York Times best-selling authors Preston & Child, an all-new short story featuring Agent Pendergast, available only as an ebook and audio download.

In New Orleans' French Quarter, the Tooth Fairy isn't a benevolent sprite who slips money under your pillow at night.... He's a mysterious old recluse who must be appeased with teeth—lest he extract retribution. When young Diogenes Pendergast loses a tooth, however, his skeptical older brother Aloysius is determined to put the legend to the test...with dire consequences.

A chilling short Aloysius - Great

This is a short teaser before the up coming release of the next Pendergast novel. As always, his stories are chilling. This story is from his childhood and told to Constance in the living room of their house in New York. It is suitably disturbing in the traditional manner. It is worth the hour. Pop open your wallet and pay cash. Thumbs up.

Gruesome & short but in true Pendergast fashion

I love the Pendergast series but was initially reluctant to get this since I thought the 'bad tooth fairy' subject might be too macabre. I was right but the story was masterfully written & performed. Cons- the story may stay with you like all good horror tales but that's also what makes for a classic fairy tale. The brevity of the story will leave you wanting more.

What an full short

I loved this book. Just a bit of the - what the heck - on the old legend of the tooth fairy as only the Pendergast’s could tell it. It’s not long but way fun.

Another excellent story...

What did you love best about Extraction?

As always, Preston and Child gave us another excellent story and Rene Auberjonois a perfect read.

Very dark fairy tale

The narrator was very appropriate when he was speaking as Agent Pendergast but only mediocre for other characters voices. Story itself was typical for the series. In the end, you finish the story with tons of unanswered questions.

Imagine

Imagine sitting around a campfire and Pendergast tells a story...

Rene Auberjonois always does an awesome Pendergast

A Visit Back to Pendergast's Childhood

What did you love best about Extraction?

It is a short story with an interesting, grisly twist on the tooth fairy.

What did you like best about this story?

When young Pendergast enters the old mansion of the bogus tooth fairy with his father.

What does Rene Auberjonois bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is an actor and brings the story to life in his own way.

If you could take any character from Extraction out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Pendergast of course!

Nice little side story

As far as short stories go, this was a good one. It is basically a tale of a mysterious man considered by young kids to be a very evil tooth fairy. The whole story takes place as Pendergast and his friends enjoy themselves before dinner. The story is short but it sheds some new light on Diogenes and perhaps Pendergast's future life choices.

Don't use a credit...great SHORT story

The tone and mood put me in mind of a Halloween story. The narrator does his usual excellent job and the story manages to capture the esscence of Pendergast wonderfully in such an short tale. Fans of the series will not be dissapointed in the least!

When Pendergast and his father enter the old mansion and discover its gruesomeness.

Have you listened to any of Rene Auberjonois’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have heard all of Mr. Auberjonois's narrations of the Pendergast series and in this short story he continues his great work.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Sometimes the Boogyman is real.
