The Doom Magnetic! Trilogy by William Pauley III

Do yourself a favor and grab the audio companion while you’re at it. The eBook is only a couple bucks and the print version would look great on your shelf. You can read The Astronaut Dream Book as part of your Kindle Unlimited subscription. He’s a fantastic writer with the ability to write stories that are sometimes absurd, horrifying, and touching. If you’re into the weird and absurd, you’ll love William Pauley III‘s doom fiction. What the hell is going on in that tower? All I know is that I want more. But in the words of the astronaut in his letter or warning, their journey didn’t stop there. The boy who encountered the prisoner in the beginning is back and his mother is ready to confront the “dog man” who bit her son. I found the letter to be quite moving.īut are these stories really dreams? Part 2 will have you wondering as the over arcing story comes full circle. It’s a letter of warning to anyone who may find themself at the Church of Death and Nothingness detailing the astronaut’s journey leading up to the point where he is writing that letter and waiting for death. The stories that follow are his dreams about astronauts. In the beginning, we learn of the prison deep within Eighth Block Tower that has only one prisoner. Everything that goes on in that tower is interconnected. Each book is a bunch of stories that are not one cohesive story, but they are intertwined. If you’ve read the first two Bedlam Bible books, you are familiar with the strange things that go on in the Eighth Block Tower. Fortunately for me, he narrates several of Pauley’s books that are already on my tbr. I could listen to him speak far longer than the two-ish hour run time of this book. His voice is deep and smooth and just really pleasant.

I found Connor Brannigan’s narration to be quite enjoyable. I’ll start with a note about the narrator. So I’m sitting here in my office listening to the audiobook and following along on the kindle app on my phone. Seeing this book on NetGalley almost felt like a sign from the cosmos reminding me that even though I did most of my reading on that kindle, it’s going to be okay.

And while I do own the kindle version, my kindle suffered an accident yesterday and no longer works. So when I saw the audiobook available for review on NetGalley, I knew it was time to revisit Eighth Block Tower. They are delightfully weird and completely engaging. I have read the first two books in this series and I loved them both.
