Sync Audio -- Weekly Offers -- FAQs & Help -- exp 11 Jul @ 7 AM ET

Week 11 -- This week’s two free audiobooks share some paranormal—and humorous—highlights. Just right for late night listening, they provide enough suspense to keep listeners in thrall and enough romance to satisfy anyone who would rather spend time with human affairs than apparitions.

FREE -- The Canterville Ghost -- Oscar Wilde/ Rupert Degas -- 1.3 hrs -- paranormal

Free eBook

A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas's hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.

FREE -- The Name of the Star -- Maureen Johnson/ Nicola Barber -- 9.8 hrs -- thriller

Shades of London Series (book 1)

The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city - gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific work of Jack the Ripper in the autumn of 1888. Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was with her at the time, didn’t notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, what is he planning to do about her?

In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.

NOTE: Keep in mind that most of these titles are self-published and/or from publishers that I have doubts as to the quality of the narration (I've heard better LibriVox recordings), so consider the source before you take the plunge -- current free titles.

I search the pre-orders a few times a month, and almost always find multiple freebies. Been like that for years I imagine, discussed and linked here fairly often.

When you put "TBA" after vendors, it seems like those vendors never end up having a deal of the day. When I check the deal of the day for those vendors late in the day, there still is no daily deal. I'm sure that I'm not the first one to notice that.

Downpour has an audiobook, each day I think, that they call a "daily steal," but the prices seem no better than Audible's, and probably are a little worse. If those are steals, I think that I'll just turn honest.

Cactus may have been asking, "where on Audible can I find the list of pre-orders?" If he wasn't, I would like to know anyway. Despite the fact that pre-order opportunities have been discussed and linked here fairly often, I must not have been paying attention, because I don't know where to find them on Audible's site (either). So, would you mind giving the link(s) for my benefit, if not Cactus' ?

Thanks GtrsRGr8, reading my mind. I have done numerous search words but can never find it.
