The Editor

By: Luke Carroll

Narrated by: Jay Dyess

Lincoln Larkin’s most recent novels are so awful that they’ve pushed him to the brink of self-destruction. Now, those same stories are literally trying to kill him and everyone he gets close to.

His novel Vriends is anything but a masterpiece and didn’t land him on any best-seller lists, but the characters from this spoof - a quirky group of vampires who crave caffeinated blood - are coming to life and draining innocent people all over the city.

Lincoln can only think of one solution. He wrote himself into this mess, so he’ll write himself out of it.

He creates Eddie - a bourbon-fueled anti-hero - and tasks him with stopping the vampires before it’s too late. It seems like a sure-thing: drink bourbon, kill vampires, repeat. But, of course, it’s never that easy. Eddie and Lincoln will have to put their trust in each other and join forces with the enemy. Mix in a little faith and they might just get out alive.

The Editor is a spoof-comedy-thriller mashup with a dash of nostalgia. You’ll laugh, cry, and be left wondering what Lincoln and Eddie will get themselves into next.

The WEIRDEST book ever!

This story get 4 stars from me. It is definitely the wildest story I have ever listened to or read. Even though I was compelled to finish it, and it was not boring, I had to lay it aside and return to it later at least three times. It is intense (vampires), fantastical (book characters come to life), and redeeming (the good guys win… mostly). The venerable Jay Dyess is the only narrator who could pull this story out of a massive crash and burn. I just might keep it in my library. Thanks, Jay! You made a “not my cup-of-tea” story into something I could not leave until the end!
