The third quarterly edition of LJ’s special focus on audiobooks highlights titles to treasure. From sophisticated fiction that plays with language to creepy horror that unsettles the nerves, there is much to enjoy across 200+ reviews. Listeners will find narrators that pull them into immersive settings, readers that embody characters, and euphonious voices that simply delight.
Dion Graham is an Odyssey Award–winning narrator, an audiobook director and publisher, and a stage and screen actor who has also lent his voice to several video games. He talks with LJ about getting started as an audiobook narrator, finding a voice and style, and the challenges that he has faced during his narrating career.
Crime stories to sound out from skilled narrators including Scott Brick, Gabrielle de Cuir, Billie Fulford-Brown, Tanya Eby, Grace Experience, Jodie Harris, January LaVoy, Ray Porter, Kirsten Potter, and Yelena Shmulenson.
Romance on audio deepens characterization and enhances conversations. Stellar narrators including Alastair Haynesbridge, Rebecca Mozo, Bahni Turpin, and Julie Whelan prove the point.
Horror listens offer immersive scares, as all bumps in the night are even more terrifying when they are inside your head. Narrators Fareeda Ahmed, Kirby Heybourne, John Keating, Jennifer O’Donnell, Jonathan Todd Ross, Neil Shah, Jasmin Walker, and Rita Wolf read the season’s top picks.
The top pre-release holds for fiction highlight titles to know, including It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover, Moonlight and Magic by Darynda Jones, and Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng.
