We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. . . He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

Dracula Reads "Interview with the Vampire!"
Revisado: 10-23-17
I'd read this book in paperback years ago, so I knew what to expect from the prose. Mr. Vance seemed to be reading with an affected Bela Lugosi accent. He's British, according to his bio, so I'm fairly certain that wasn't his natural voice. Still, he gets credit for the correct pronunciation of the main character's name -- I'm currently listening to an audiobook of "Queen of the Damned," and every time the narrator pronounces "Louis" with a sibilant "S" it irks me just a little.

Dark and disturbing, this full-length study of the women in black mystery encompasses such issues as alien abductions, Mothman, strange and unearthly monsters, the secrets of alchemy, time-travel, and the dark domain of all things supernatural. Just like their creepy male counterparts, the women in black will stop at nothing to silence those who get too close to the truths behind the UFO phenomenon and paranormal activity.

This sentence repeats, this sentence repeats
Revisado: 08-20-17
Fascinating anecdotes and skilled storytelling marred significantly by rather substandard production values. Mr. Redfern is one of my favorite writers. I have read several of his books and listened to countless interviews with him. And make no mistake WIB not only explores a fascinating mystery with the same expert storytelling skill his readers have come to know and expect, but this volume expands upon mysteries explored in previous books, linking the reader back through space and time to the stories related in MIB and Contactees.
However, the performance seems almost hokey. Ms. Wilson uses an affected voice throughout the entire duration of the book, apparently trying to sound spooky. Even this could be forgiven, however, were it not for the frustrating and highly irritating fact that throughout the book several passages repeat for no apparent reason. This repetition so plagues later chapters, where nearly every other sentence is repeated, that the audiobook at that point becomes nearly unlistenable.
And that's truly a shame.
Very disappointed.

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't. Most, but not everyone.

Every UFO Conspiracy in One Storyline
Revisado: 06-22-17
Die Glocke, Betty & Barney, Area 51, MIB, it's all in there . . . only thing missing was a guest appearance by Art Bell!
Solid storytelling by an experienced writer who appears to be familiar with military fiction gives the novel a believability factor that keeps the listener involved with a quick-paced plot and cliffhanger chapter endings. I couldn't quite accept that the main character was British (an attempt on the part of the narrator to emulate a British accent would have helped), but other than this, no complaints. Great literature? Well, probably not, but definitely an entertaining diversion.
But why the 'k' in 'Sekret?' I guess not all has been revealed. I will definitely be continuing with the second book in this series.
