Ask HN: Best audiobooks you've listened to recently? (Cosmic horror/non-fiction)

13 pointsby febed20 days ago
I have a long flight coming up and I’m looking for audiobook recommendations — fiction or non-fiction. If it’s fiction would be interested in cosmic horror or sci fi genres.

I really enjoyed the Edward Herrman narration of the &quot;At the Mountains of Madness&quot; when I listened to it years ago.<p>What struck me is how it still feels haunting even decades later; it aged quite well. I couldn&#x27;t help shake the creepy feeling there was something unearthly at the edges of our world.

I really enjoyed listening to the Silo series by Hugh Howey recently. I also went through a Stephen King binge years ago and I specifically recall Frank Muller did a great job with the narration on many of the books (sadly he passed away before finishing the Dark Tower series).

No super recent but I listened to Devolution by Max Brooks (World War Z author) while trail running in the PNW<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Devolution_(Brooks_novel)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Devolution_(Brooks_novel)</a><p>It&#x27;s read by Judy Greer (among others) and I liked it a lot.

The Bobiverse series is a top notch sci-fi audiobook with great narration. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;audiobookdb.net&#x2F;series&#x2F;3B5S2xAj" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;audiobookdb.net&#x2F;series&#x2F;3B5S2xAj</a><p>or if you want a single audiobook you have to listen to Project Hail Mary from the author of the Martian <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;audiobookdb.net&#x2F;audiobooks&#x2F;Vg0f71nk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;audiobookdb.net&#x2F;audiobooks&#x2F;Vg0f71nk</a><p>hope you enjoy these

&quot;greatest hits&quot;, a collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison. Should be available on many platforms, I listened to it on audible.<p>Mostly sci-fi, some great, some good. Most are read by the author himself, who has a peculiar style (&quot;over the top&quot; perhaps is the best way to describe it).<p>Some of the stories are classic, so I think it&#x27;s worth reading&#x2F;listening to.<p>Some are just boring and&#x2F;or confusing for me, ymmv.

I’ve been listening to <i>The Road to Serfdom</i> by FA Hayek. It’s quite interesting.

Haruki Murakami&#x27;s What I talk about when I talk about running was a nice listen. For bonus points, listen while running obviously.
