Check out this amazing review from Fantasy Literature.
Skyboat Media is proud to present the audio edition of “The Dark Country,” the classic collection of short stories by Dennis Etchison.
For someone who never set out to be a horror writer, Dennis Etchison is awfully good at it. The title story for this collection won both the World Fantasy Award and British Fantasy Award in 1982, which is the first time that a single work received both awards.
At StokerCon 2017, Dennis Etchison was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. This award is presented annually to individuals whose work has substantially influenced the horror and dark fantasy genres. Other recipients include Stephen King, Anne Rice, Harlan Ellison, and Ray Bradbury.
Add all of this together with the narration skills of the author, Stefan Rudnicki, and Gabrielle de Cuir and you have an audiobook classic.
