I thought perhaps it was a sale for paid members only, since I get shown full price but my wife sees it on sale for $0 on Audible.

But indeed, when I use the Amazon link above, I get it for $0 as well. Odd.

Thanks! Carmilla is perfect for Halloween!

Downpour Rental of the Week -- exp 02 Nov

• $1.99 -- Hemlock Grove

Hemlock Grove -- Brian McGreevy -- read by Sean Runnette (10.8 hrs)

The body of a young girl is found mangled and murdered in the woods of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of the abandoned Godfrey Steel Mill. A manhunt ensues—though the authorities aren’t sure if it’s a man they should be looking for.

Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a foreboding biotech facility owned by the Godfrey family, where some suspect that biological experiments of the most unethical kind take place. Others turn to Peter Rumancek, a Gypsy trailer-trash kid who has told impressionable high school classmates that he’s a werewolf. Or perhaps it’s Roman, the son of the late JR Godfrey, who rules the adolescent social scene with the casual arrogance of a cold-blooded aristocrat, his superior status unquestioned despite his decidedly freakish sister, Shelley, whose monstrous medical conditions belie a sweet intelligence, and his otherworldly, sexy control freak of a mother, Olivia. As the crime goes unsolved and the police seem more and more willing to believe any outlandish rumor, Peter and Roman decide the only way to save their own skins is to find the killer themselves. Along the way they uncover local secrets and designs that are much bigger than some small-town murder.

This audiobook is still free. It was a one day offer last Oct 1st from Penguin Random House Audio. For those who missed it, now's your chance to get it. No idea how long it will remain free.

• FREE -- Book of Greek Myths -- Ingri & Edgar d'Aulaire -- read by P Newman, et al (4.3 hrs)

Read by Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, Kathleen Turner, and Matthew Broderick, here are the stories of the immortals of Olympus - the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece - as freshly described as if they were alive today.

Mighty Zeus, with his fistful of thunderbolts; mischievous little Hermes; grey-eyed Athena, godess of wisdom; Asclepius, the first physician; Orpheus and his beloved Euridice; Helios the sun, crossing the heavens in his fiery chariot.... these and other equally fabulous figures are featured here with their heroic deeds and petty squabbles illuminated in full dimension.

It'll likely no longer be free tomorrow. I've notice PRH has a habit of leaving the last giveaway up until the next one comes. Tomorrow is the Halloween freebie, don't forget.

It was one of the initial set of Whispersync freebies from 2012. I listened to it last year - boy, the movies have never done the book justice. Thanks for the heads-up.
