Audible: Kingshire Falls

 This was the perfect project for my first professional audiobook recording.  

The characters intentionally ride the border on stereotypes, which allowed me to have all sorts of fun with the voices.  

Steve McElhinney was delightful to work with.  He was gracious accepting (and sometimes rejecting) suggestions -- even gave me an editing credit.  I hope to work with him again.  

Be sure to listen to the sample!


It came from beyond the sky.

At first distant glance, the spherical object appeared nothing more innocuous than a shooting star. Yet, upon further observation, there was something unsettling about its descent. This was no natural free-fall.

The year is 1953, and the citizens of the American rural town of Kingshire Falls are busy preparing for its centenary.

What was intended to be a day of celebrations soon turns into a desperate fight for survival as friends and family begin to turn into mutated creatures, intent on taking over the town.

Low on weapons, ideas, and hope, a motley crew of survivors must band together if they are to survive.

Kingshire Falls is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek, homage to the wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) sci-fi and horror B-Movies of the 1950s-1980s. It’s a quiet place to live, but you wouldn’t want to die there.
