Today we have two new short stories available from Audible. If you're paying attention, you may find this set of offerings amazingly similar to a previous pair (I'll even give you a clue). First, we have "The Hospital" by Keith C. Blackmore. It is a tie-in to his book and series "The Mountain Man," and is a zombie apocalypse title. The book can be found here. The second is "The Viscount and the Witch" by Michael J. Sullivan. This is a short story in his "Riyria Chronicles" series. I just recently listened to another short story in the system, "The Jester," and it was excellent - a very well-done fantasy listen. This book can be found here.

Enjoy!

Downpour's Weekend Spotlight: Mickey Spillane

Quote:

Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer is one of the most iconic characters to arise from the world of pulp fiction. In the vein of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, Hammer is hardboiled and cynical, a self-described misanthrope raging against violent crimes and criminals. Mike Hammer has been on the silver screen and on TV, where he was portrayed by Stacy Keach, who reads the audiobooks and embodies Hammer with a powerful voice.

In honor of what would have been Spillane’s 96th birthday this weekend, Downpour is highlighting five more recent Mike Hammer books, the manuscripts for which were completed by Max Allan Collins. These five books are just $5.95 for this weekend only.

Save big and buckle up for the ride.

Thanks for pointing it out. I forgot that it was on the list. It'll be available 31 Jul ~ 06 Aug.

BTW, it's SYNC; not Whispersync
