The limited edition, signed audio book of BERSERK is out now from Audio Realms. It’s a wonderful 8 disc set, and you can get it for the special price of $24.95.
That’s an excellent price for an excellent product – if you’ve tried Audio Realms before you’ll know their quality, and if you haven’t, now’s the time to start.
“They kept monsters.” That’s what Tom overhears in the bar that night. And he hears more things that can finally lead him to the truth about his son’s death ten years before. The army had said it was a training accident. But why had the coffin they sent home been sealed?
So on a dark night, in a deserted field, Tom begins to unearth the mass grave where he hopes—and fears—that he will find his son’s remains. He finds instead madness: corpses in chains and dead bodies that still move and grasp and clutch. And one little girl, dead and rotting, who promises to help Tom find what he’s looking for, if only he will free her…
From Dark Realms Audio, the audio book of BERSERK is now available! These guys are also releasing audio books by Brian Keene, Ramsey Campbell, and Jack Ketchum, so check out their website to get your fill.
We’ve just returned from Cape Cod where my family holidayed with the Goldens – had a wonderful time, and I’ll post a picture or two over the next few days. Meanwhile, here’s an update of what happened when I was away:
Audio Realms Inc will soon be releasing an audiobook version of BERSERK. Go here to check out details and download the first chapter to listen to – it’s wonderful, and I can’t wait to hear the whole book.
There’s a new interview with me on the SF Site, you can go here to read all about it.
Workwise, Chris Golden and I are on the home stretch with the Secret Journeys of Jack London script for Fox 2000.
And there are a few other projects I’m working which I won’t say much about right now – early stages – but they include a TV series and a new screenplay.
More soon!
Last night I visited a small seaside town with my wife and two kids. I made a trip into a book shop, raising a weak smile from my wife … it’s pretty normal, after all. She said she’d take the kids off for a meal.
For a small seaside bookstore, I was delighted to see that they had a sign up stating “BERSERK – coming soon!” (even given that BERSERK is not yet published in the UK). I asked the owner if he liked authors signing their books, and he said, “No worries, I’ve got a bloke in the shop who signs them all.”
“How the hell can he do that?” I asked. “How can he sign my book with my name?”
“Oh, he doesn’t. He signs every book William.”
Whereupon we had an argument. What as strange, strange dream. So if anyone out there finds any of my books signed by ‘William’, please do tell me … and there’ll be a novel in there somewhere, I’m sure.
Today, I’m off to Cardiff with my mate Gareth to sample some splendid real aleas, and then this evening we’ll be watching Motorhead, Saxon and Danko Jones. Seen Motorhead many, many times, so tonight I hope Lemmy’s in a good mood. Saxon … what a blast from the past!
Full report soon. Watch out for William the Imposter.

Ten years after Steven’s death, Tom never thought that his son would change his life again.
Tom held dear every precious memory of Steven, especially those times that affected him so much that he believed they had altered his perception of things forever. His toddler son, pointing to the sky in wonder and gasping his first word, Cloud! Older, learning to ride his bike, Tom letting go and Steven only falling off when he realised he was riding on his own. At thirteen he won a bronze swimming medal for the school in the national finals, and the photograph of his presentation showed a boy on the cusp of manhood, his expression delighted yet reserved, full of self-awareness. At seventeen Steven joined the Army, and at nineteen he was accepted into the Parachute Regiment. Tom still had the photograph of his son wearing that red beret hanging above his fireplace at home. It made him proud. It made him sad. It was the last picture he took of Steven before he died. Read the rest of this entry »
