Grayfax Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I need some recommendations for audiobooks that have a Wyrd kind of feeling. I am pacing myself on the podcast so I don't run out in just a couple of weeks and I am trying to get more time at the paint bench. I'm trying to stay away from videos / shows as I'll end up watching them. So, what kind of audible books are out there that have that turn of the century, steampunk, otherworld vibe to them?

Sordid Strumpet Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 The Powder Mage Trilogy is a gunpowder/fantasy series which I quite enjoyed. Retribution falls is also fantastic, but sadly only that book (it's a stellar series with four more books) is available in audiobook format. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack: Burton & Swinburne, Book 1 (The rst of the series is also alternative history steam punkish) The Alloy of Law : Mistborn book 4 onwards have a steam punk feel books 1 to 3 are amazing but are more fantasy based. The Aeronaut's Windlass: The Cinder Spires, Book One 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guslado Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Anything HP Lovecraft has a very Malifaux feel. If you're looking for Audible recommendations, this collection is solid. I also enjoyed this reading of "Shadow over Innsmouth", this reading of "At the Mountains of Madness", and I am listening to this other collection (by the same group as the first collection) a bit at a time. I am a bit of an Audible addict and must say that the only thing that comes closer to a Malifaux feel than HP Lovecraft is the actual Malifaux lore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayfax Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks guys! Great start to my credits this month. I had Spring-Heeled Jack and I'm not sure why I didn't get into it before... have to go back and try to listen a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 For more of the Old West meets Magic and the Modern Age try Stephen King's Gunslinger series. Every time even think about buying/playing Perdita I want to find a male equivalent and do a Roland Deshain equivalent (protagonist) along with the rest of the cast from the books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The Wendigo! By Algernon Blackwood! It's available on Librivox.org and is one of my favorite short stories! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Black Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good thread. I started listening to the podcasts just last night. They are a great introduction to the Characters, really help give them some depth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 It's not the same genre, but the audible recording of "The Blade Itself" is amazing dark/gritty fantasy and is well narrated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
