The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde -- narrated by Simon Vance -- unabridged (7.5 hrs)

Audie® Award Finalist

Dorian Gray, a handsome and narcissistic young man, lives thoughtlessly for his own pleasure—an attitude encouraged by the company he keeps. One day, after having his portrait painted, Dorian makes a frivolous Faustian wish: that he should always remain as young and beautiful as he is in that painting, while the portrait grows old in his stead.

The wish comes true, and Dorian soon finds that none of his wicked actions have visible consequences. Realizing that he will appear fresh and unspoiled no matter what kind of life he lives, Dorian becomes increasingly corrupt, unchecked by public opinion. Only the portrait grows degenerate and ugly, a powerful symbol of Dorian’s internal ruin.

Wilde’s dreamlike exploration of life without limits scandalized its late-Victorian audience and has haunted readers’ imaginations for more than a hundred years.

Just a matter of time. Downpour is still less than a year-old and they're about to merge with AudioGO. So who knows what they have in mind for future promos.

Still, I'm grateful for the freebies they've given to date. I love the classics!

[specficwriter]

Yes, I loved it while it lasted, and I got some great books!

Noisetrade is becoming a good source for free audiobooks lately. Over the weekend there was a new addition, Charles Martin's "Thunder and Rain" from Hachette Audio. This appears to be a Western novel, so if you're interested in the genre then you might want to check it out. The download also includes an exerpt of the author's new novel "Unwritten" in pdf format. You can find the audiobook here. As always, downloads from Noisetrade are free, but the system offers you a means to "tip" the author for their generosity.

Enjoy!

Audible is offering a free prequel to Jason Mott's The Returned

• The First (released 05 Aug 13)
  
• The Sparrow (released 12 Aug 13) -- see this post for details
• The Choice (released 19 Aug 13) -- see this post for details

The First by Jason Mott -- narrated by Victor Bevine -- unabridged (34 min)

In Jason Mott's haunting and unforgettable debut novel, The Returned, an impossible miracle is occurring all across the globe. Read how it all begins in this short story, The First.

It's been just over a year since Edmund Blithe died, and just over a month since his fiancee, Emily, stopped wearing her engagement ring. Emily has finally begun to move on… Until Edmund mysteriously and inexplicably returns, sending the world - and Emily - into a tailspin.

Edmund is only just the beginning. Around the world, people's loved ones are returning from beyond, seeking only to reenter the lives they left behind. As the world dives deep into uncertainty, Emily and Edmund are determined to find their way back to one another…even if it means risking everything.

The reappearances continue in The Sparrow, and look for The Returned from Harlequin MIRA, a moving tale of a family given a second chance at life and a world where nothing - not even death - is certain.

edit: two more free prequels have been released - see this post for details

Downpour deal of the week...

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

The basis for the film starring Academy Award nominee Will Smith, I Am Legend is a classic of horror and suspense.

In I Am Legend, a terrible plague has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive are transformed into bloodthirsty creatures of the night. Robert Neville is the last living man on earth. Every other man, woman, and child has become a vampire, and they are all hungry for Neville’s blood. By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn. How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?

Richard Matheson’s chilling tale is a white-knuckle ride into a world of darkness and terror.

Note: Deal of the Week applies to I Am Legend in download format and expires August 14, 2013.
