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 "At the Mountains of Madness" 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'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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_(Brooks_novel)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_(Brooks_novel)</a><p>It'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://audiobookdb.net/series/3B5S2xAj" rel="nofollow">https://audiobookdb.net/series/3B5S2xAj</a><p>or if you want a single audiobook you have to listen to Project Hail Mary from the author of the Martian

"greatest hits", 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 ("over the top" perhaps is the best way to describe it).<p>Some of the stories are classic, so I think it's worth reading/listening to.<p>Some are just boring and/or confusing for me, ymmv.
