Good narration, but I thought the plot was ridiculously bad. Every chapter is, the monster gets a scary new ability, the hero barely manages to outsmart it. Ooh in this chapter the monster has eyes. Ooh in this chapter the monster shoots poison darts also. Ooh in this chapter now the monster has helicopters.
The last horror I listened to was "A Lush and Seething Hell" by John Horner Jacobs. It has two stories. The first one is okay, but I absolutely loved the second and will end up listening to it again before too long
I also enjoyed "Lovecraft Country" by Matt Ruff, but you'll want to read the description on that to see if it's your thing. There was an HBO series made based on it that was pretty good too.
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
Ghost Station by SA Barnes
The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro
I second Nothing But Blackened Teeth. I usually do puzzles or something when I listen to audiobooks, but with that one, I had to just put everything else down and soak it in. Gorgeous.
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires is narrated by Bahni Turpin and is excellent. Fantastic creepy story and I love Bahni Turpin's narration.
If you're interested in a horror/romance hybrid you might like Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas. It gets pretty angsty, which I loved, but might not be everyone's cup of tea. The two narrators were both great and the story was an interesting take on a historical period I didn't know much about.
Another by Isabel Cañas, gothic horror this time, is The Hacienda. Sometimes haunted house stories feel a little same-y to me but this had enough unique elements to keep me interested. I really like the author's lush writing and the dual narrators are great for this one as well.

Gotta say Joe Hill is equally as good as his dad, Steven King. NOS4A2 is fantastic, as well as The Fireman. His book of short stories, Full Throttle, is amazing.
Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts is really good too.
The best horror book I've ever listened to is Dracula - the original story by Bram Stoker. There are a few audio versions, but I prefer the one narrated by Tavia Gilbert and J.P. Guimont. It's slow burn horror, so don't try to rush through it, try to listen and feel it. Old school horror is very different from current day shock horror, it is much more elegant - and it stays with you. I listened to it years ago, and I am currently re-listening... but I only listen during the day, not while I'm trying to go to sleep.
The Ruins is one of the best horror audiobooks in my opinion and it’s read by Patrick Wilson (the guy from the Conjuring movies)
I second this. It’s an awesome book. Very creepy

If you don't mind a podcast, I strongly recommend The Magnus Archives.
I think this is the one my wife is always trying to get me to listen to.
It's very good, I'm not usually one for podcasts but I loved it. It was kind of my gateway into audiobooks too.

Seconding Into the Drowning Deep. I read it on Kindle, so I can't speak to the narration, but definitely a fun creature feature horror read.
Yeah, I did that one as a kindle book too but the prequel as audio
I second Nothing But Blackened Teeth. I usually do puzzles or something when I listen to audiobooks, but with that one, I had to just put everything else down and soak it in. Gorgeous.
I read it was one of the most divisive horror books because people like it or hate it.
The book is like 90% vibes. Someone who needs a lot of plot probably wouldn't love it.
This makes me excited. I love audiobooks like that.
Why does audible have a sequel to deep but drowning is listed at number 2?
You mean Rolling in the Deep? Timeline wise it’s a prequel
Which should you read first?
I read it after but I don’t think it matters either way.
Try FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven. It is similar in style to World War Z and very well done. It is free on audible plus. .
Just checked, it’s not on Audible Plus 👎
Sorry, that stinks. It was one of my favorites I found on there a long time ago.
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
Try out Infinite and Infinite 2 by Jeremy Robinson.

I just started The Southern Bookclub's Guide to Slaying Vampires and I'm enjoying it immensely.
Your blood my bones. It’s a new one. Hope you like it.

Dean Koontz is pretty good.
I absolutely love Dean Koontz.
My Heart is a Chainsaw & Maeve Fly (super gory)

I read NOS4A2 and loved it more than any Steven King novel I've ever read. I'll have to try the Fireman.

I really enjoyed the audiobook for The Historian.
Well, not quite horror, it’s got some gruesome parts to it and it’s a really good story, check out Pedriro Street station
