About this listen

A family's Halloween haunted house becomes a conduit to something ancient and uncanny; a young man's effigy of a movie monster becomes instrumental in his defense against a bully; a family diminishes while visiting a seaside town, leaving only one to remember what changed; a father explores a mysterious tower, and the monster imprisoned within; a man mourning the death of his father travels to his father's hometown, seeking closure, but finds himself beset by dreams of mythic bargains and a primeval, corpse-eating titan.

John Langan, author of the Bram Stoker Award-winning novel The Fisherman, returns with ten new tales of cosmic horror in Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies. In these stories, he continues to chart the course of 21st century weird fiction, from the unfamiliar to the familial, the unfathomably distant to the intimate.

After reading the fisherman I jumped on this as soon as it released on audible and was not disappointed. Great stories and some add to the lore of the fisherman. Please bring the wide carnivorous sky to audible uk too!

More John Langdan please

I'd only read one of this author's books and that was what drew me to this collection.....I wasn't disappointed! Great stuff!

This certainly isn't one of the best horror anthologies I've listened to, but there are a couple of memorable ones within, Shadow and Thirst being one of them. The narrator does well enough at reading the stories - but he's awful at accents. Corpsemouth, the titular story, focuses on the main character returning to his ancestral home of Scotland, and the narrator's attempt at an accent (which, somehow, ends up sounding more Eastern European than anything) takes me right out of being able to listen to it.

Average horror anthology - but with one or two gems
