A Long Time Dead

By: Wondra Vanian

Narrated by: Allyson Voller

Angels and aliens, a bargain with the devil, voices from beyond the grave, and voices raised in terror. From an old-fashioned ghost story, to a mind-bending tale of mental illness, and a bite-sized vampire romance, this collection of short stories by Wondra Vanian will explore more than one side of the crazy, terrifying thing called life and teach us to remember that we're A Long Time Dead.

An Okay Young Adult-ish Themed Cozies

A Long Time Dead was an okay listen for me. It was listed as horror but not horrorific but that's a good thing. It wasn't really scary but seemed more geared in the YA category especially with Dimitri and Alice. This is my first time to listen to a Wondra Vanian book I think and I'd perhaps listen to more in the future.

Allyson Voller is a voice actor I like. She has a great voice with good inflections and always a clean read. I mean this in the utmost repect and I like that they do this but while listening to this audiobook, my kittehs and dogge gathered round and listened with me. They don't always do that and I think some people's voices are soothing for them to hear. A great performance!

A Long Time Dead

A collection of short stories & a novella with various themes of death. Some of the stories have paranormal themes, all are poignant.

A deal with the devil, vampires, madmen, romance...all of this & more are featured within these pages. Often thought provoking, always entertaining.

I was given an Audible version of this book by the narrator/author/publisher and chose to review it.

An overall 3 1/2.

Any additional comments?

Short story collection with a few good ones and a few not so good ones. Overall I would give the entirety a 3 1/2 . A few of the stories just didn't have enough substance. Short stories don't have to be long to be good , but some needed just a bit more to them.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

An OK collection of short stories

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Although I realized this was a collection of short stories going in, I found myself getting confused by odd silences, little variation in voice by the narrator and some sloppy editing. A couple of the stories were decent but most I found myself getting bored. For short stories, that's just not good.

I'm not sure if it was because this was an audio book, but this one just wasn't for me.
