New releases from Iambik Audiobooks!

Iambik Audiobooks recently released three books in three different genres.  First up in the literary fiction catgeory is The Chaplain written and narrated by Paul Almond.  This is Book 5 of The Alford Saga. From an Amazon reviewer:  "Those who are taken by The Chaplain will be delighted, as I was, to learn that the Alford Saga continues and that this story will be followed by three more books in the series. In and of itself The Chaplain stands on its own as a great novel, one which will likely endure as a classic in Canadian literature."




Next up is a collection of horror stories, Every House is Haunted by Ian Rogers.  This book is narrated by David Lewis Richardson.  There are 22 stories in this collection.  According to Speculating Canada:  "Rogers brings us into moral grey areas, encouraging us to question stories, delve deep into them and interact with them, and also reminds us that every story contains the potential for both danger as well as ecstasy."

The third new release is in the science fiction/fantasy genre.  In the Service of Samurai by Gloria Oliver is narrated by the mysterious Availle.  From an Amazon reviewer: "It mixes the elements of the classic ghost story with those of an epic quest and tosses it into the mysterious world of old Japan.”



So, start your weekend listening to one of these new books from Iambik which are now available for purchase on Audible. You can listen to the complete first chapters of these books and all Iambik books on the Iambik website here.

Iambik releases two new literary fiction books

Iambik Audiobooks just added two new releases to their literary fiction collection.  Sleight by Kirsten Kaschock is narrated by Adam Verner and tells of two sisters who spend their youth honing their bodies for sleight, a fictional art form comprised of dance, architecture, acrobatics, and spoken word.  From Library Journal: “Kaschock’s work stands out for the originality of its concepts, narrative structure, and, particularly, language, as the author redefines words in relation to her art and boldly breaks from traditional grammatical constructions. Kaschock’s intimate knowledge of dance is an asset, helping her bring the sleight performers vividly to life. . . . Sleight is to the traditional fiction narrative what alternative music is to mainstream pop. Readers who enjoy the challenge of an innovative, unconventional style will take pleasure in this selection.”

The second book is The Deserter written and read by Paul Almond. The story is set in the 1800's and chronicles two hundred years of Canadian history, as seen through the eyes of a settler’s family.  This is the first book in the Alford saga.

Imagine you’re in a swaying hammock on a British man-o’war around 1800, riding out a harsh spring storm in a deserted estuary. Behind those high red cliffs lie a hundred miles of uncharted wilderness, populated only by ferocious indigenous peoples. If you jump ship and are caught, you will be branded a deserter - subject to death by one thousand lashes. What can you bring to help you survive? Within minutes, the ice-strewn waters will freeze your body and claim your soul. Even if this were your one chance for a life in the New World, would you jump?

Both of these books can be purchased now from Iambik for $6.99 each.
