Summary
This fresh release is the first book in the series Purple Mist - sci-fi/horror novelette trilogies written specifically for audiobooks and e-books, and for binge listening. You'll enjoy a spine tingling, Outer Limits feeling, and a quicker dramatic payoff than with standard-sized novels. Each is a third the size of a full-length novel, and is divided into three parts at memorable plot points, for convenient pauses. They're told in present tense - for immediacy of experience. This unique, entertaining structure is ideal for busy, multitasking lifestyles and Audible app-enabled smartphones or Kindles.
Our first short novel involves a present-day family and their Thanksgiving retreat near Lake Tahoe, Nevada; instead of a warm and fuzzy, they have a rather bizarre and harrowing experience.
Our second story concerns a brilliant young IT man - 40 years in the future - who clicks on a hypertext that none of us would want to click on.
Our last features a young, beautiful doctor who practices in a small town in 1919; her cures could be much worse than the disease.
With modern practices of listening to books on convenient devices, it is essential to consider both story and structure/format going forward for maximum listener enjoyment, and this book does.

Murder them like the cockroaches they are.
A trilogy of short novellas, each deliberately also subdivided into three sections for easy stopping points if listening whilst commuting, during a lunch break, or similarly specific time slots. One is more horror, set in the present day but revisiting an unexplained disaster of more than a century before, the other two are more science fiction, one set in the near future,of 2058 and exploring human nature, the other in the past at a time when vaccines were still very much in their infancy. But all have a definite creep factor.
The titles:
Washoe Moon, starting at chapter 4
Dorian, starting at chapter 7
Symbiotic, starting at chapter 10.
Each new story is introduced with a brief burst of electronic music.
Narration by. Paul J McSorley was delivered with good intonation and understanding of the story and the protagonists were voiced individually. His timbre suited the feeling of the book.
My thanks to the rights holder of Purple Mist, who, at my request via Audiobook Boom, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. These stories were great, of the old story teller style, and a very enjoyable listen. It is good to find a back to nature type of horror story which really is fear inducing: most seem to rely merely on gore for effect. A good collection to fill in fairly short time breaks - or just to read on!
