Editör yorumları

Graham Masterton has been thrilling and terrifying his readers since 1976, when his best-selling novel The Manitou was published. Since then he has published almost 40 books of horror, which his fans devour voraciously. In the supernatural thriller Descendant, a vampire legend of the Romanian strigoi turns out to be a reality. This suspenseful novel about undying predators is performed by Garrick Hagon, whose voice - though perhaps not his Transylvanian accent - many listeners might recognize from Star Wars: A New Hope and Batman. Hagon reads frequently for the BBC and even operates his own audiobook production company, so he knows his way around a strong dramatic recording.

I rarely say this, but this is a story I wish I'd read rather than listened to. The story is pretty good, but the narrator sounds like Kent Brockman from the Simpson's. He really let's the story down which is a shame because with a different narrator it would have been more enjoyable.

Wish I'd Read the book

I did enjoy this book, being a lover of vampire stories. This is an interesting take on the subject and the story is good. Let down somewhat by the narrator, whose delivery and speech patterns reminded me of William Shatner, or more specifically Zap Brannigan!! This association did give an unintentional comedy to the tale.... but overall, not a bad production

If you’ve listened to books by Graham Masterton before, how does this one compare?

First book I have listened too by this author - not entirely sure I would do another.

What didn’t you like about Garrick Hagon’s performance?

Arrggh. He was way to sing-songy for my liking. He had a strange accent and I didnt much care for his reading.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Possible - it wasn't a bad tale - in fact, I auite enjoyed it, but there are better books out there!
If it was a movie, it would likely be in the B category!

Hard going...

If I'd had to read it, I wouldn't have got past the first few chapters, but I had no credits and very few unread free books left!
Nevertheless I enjoyed it in a strange way.
The narrator's voice is pleasant, but those accents are hilarious, the pauses and emphasis totally comical.
The writing, especially the speech and the sex scenes; initially I couldn't decide how it could be serious, and if I was reading it I'm not sure if it would've been worse, or if the satire would still have been apparent! I can only assume that it was intended to be a satirical portrayal of mid 20th century English society, and the American's view of it through the genre of vampires, and as such I found it is a fun listen.
Definitely one to make your own mind up about.

a comedy/farce or a romance?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Great story from GM. Strigoi vampires in Europe and London! The reader does a good job with the various accents. Definitely worth listening to.

Excellent!
