Ambling Books Halloween Sale

• $3.95 - A Grown-up's Halloween -- various authors -- exp 31 Oct
• $3.95 - The Halloween Tree -- Ray Bradbury -- exp 31 Oct

Note: audiobooks are delivered as DRM-free MP3s


A Grown-up's Halloween --> full cast narration -- 6.5 hrs

Blackstone Audio presents an eclectic mix of stories, plays and sketches dedicated to the thinking paranoiac. Gore, sex, horror, literature and edifying morals - what more could you want from an audiobook?

This collection includes "In a Grove", upon which Akira Kurosawa based his classic film, Rashomon; an adult fairy tale by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh; the real story (honest!) behind Edgar Rice Burroughs's novel The Moon Maid; and cautionary and scary tales from The Arabian Nights, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Mark Twain, and others. Selected, adapted, produced, and directed by Yuri Rasovsky.

The Halloween Tree --> Bronson Pinchot narrator -- 3.2 hrs

On a Halloween night, eight boys are led on an incredible journey into the past by the mysterious “spirit” Moundshroud. Riding a dark autumn wind from ancient Egypt to the land of the Celtic druids, from Mexico to a cathedral in Paris, they will witness the haunting beginnings of the holiday called Halloween.

Ray Bradbury’s evocative prose and imagery will send shivers of delight—and spine-chilling terror—through listeners young and old, long after the last candle has died in your jack-o’-lantern.

It's already expired. Too much success. Why do those offers always happen while it's night here, I mean in Europe? ~iz frustrated~

Audible's Daily Deal -- exp 26 Oct

• $1.95 - Guy Noir and the Straight Skinny -- Garrison Keillor

On the 12th floor of the Acme Building, on a cold February day in St. Paul, Guy Noir looks down the barrel of a loaded revolver in the hands of geezer gangster Joey Roast Beef, who is demanding to hear what lucrative scheme Guy is cooking up with stripper-turned-women's-studies-professor Naomi Fallopian. Everyone wants to know - Joey, Lieutenant McCafferty, reporter Gene Williker, Guy's ex-girlfriend Sugar O'Toole, the despicable Larry B. Larry, the dreamboat Scarlett Anderson, Mr. Kress of the FDA - and Guy faces them one by one, as he and Naomi pursue a dream of earning gazillions by selling a surefire method of dramatic weight loss. In this whirlwind caper Guy looks death in the eye, falls in love, and faces off with the capo del capo del grande primo capo Johnny Banana.

Here's another set of free Halloween audiobooks. This time, they're on YouTube. These are LibriVox recordings from Greatest AudioBooks (YouTube Channel) and as such, the narrative quality will vary from poor to quite good. YMMV

Wow, this is the best selection I've seen on sale at Audible; I picked up The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon and Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin. There are several more I'll probably get before the sale is over, including the Hitchcock bio by Donald Spoto. Two of the sale books I've already listened to and enjoyed are Until You're Mine and Psycho.

Audible has a 3-for-2 (three books for two credits) sale on a selection of paranormal romance titles, through October 31.

Well, that's one way of looking at it.

This is how it works. You buy the Kindle book How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer by Sarah Bakewell for the special price of $1.99. Then, you add the Whispersync, which is only 99 cents! $1.99 + $.99 = $2.98. You can't beat that. And, if you are interested in just the audiobook, as I was when I just purchased the ebook-audiobook package a few minutes ago, you can look at it as getting the ebook thrown in for free!

Here are some additional facts about the Kindle book. It's $1.99 (the print list price is $16.99; the digital list price is $15.99). It's rated 4 1/2 stars from 132 reviews at the present moment. It's published by Other Press. It's 401 pages long (making the unabridged Whispersync 13 hours and 26 minutes in listening length).

The audiobook is professionally narrated by Davina Porter. I listened to a sample of her narration. She has a pleasant-enough voice with a moderate English accent. She does a good job.

Here is a description of the book, from the Amazon webpage for the ebook:
How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love—such questions arise in most people’s lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy?

This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Monatigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them “essays,” meaning “attempts” or “tries.” Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog’s ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne’s honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment—and in search of themselves.

This book, a spirited and singular biography, relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing, youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet Étienne de La Boétie and with his adopted “daughter,” Marie de Gournay. And we also meet his readers—who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, “how to live?”

My posting of this book does not mean that I necessarily subscribe to any of the philosophical or other beliefs of Montaigne.

To get the deal, follow this link http://www.amazon.com/How-Live-Monta...N%3DB003E8AK4Q. Buy the ebook. Then follow the prompts to purchase the Whispersync audio.

Enjoy!

Bizzare. Now it works for me, too. When I tried earlier, not only did it show as full list price, but all the other formats on that list also showed at full price, and now they all show some discount. Oh well, thanks.
