Spells, Salt, & Steel, Season 1

De: Gail Z. Martin, Larry N. Martin

Narrado por: Roger Wayne

“When all else fails, the ass end of a carp makes a damn fine weapon.”

Your new favorite monster hunter has arrived! Bubba the Monster Hunter has some competition in this horror-comedy collection from best-selling author duo Gail Z. and Larry N. Martin!

By day, Mark Wojcik can be found elbow-deep in engine grease, making cars and trucks safe for the highway. By night, he can be found traipsing through the wilds of Pennsylvania, making the world safe for humans. He's more than just a mechanic, he's a New Templar Knight. He travels the backroads and byways fighting weresquonks, ningen, selkies, ghosts, and . . . gnomes? Is that gnome . . . naked? (Sigh.)

Season One collects the first four novellas in the Spells, Salt, & Steel series: Spells, Salt, & Steel; Open Season; Deep Trouble; and Close Encounters.

Engaging

It reminded me of the Supernatural show. It was funny and dark with a hint of romance. Looking forward to reading the next book

Good Intro Anthology

As always, Roger Wayne does a fantastic job narrating. the stories are interesting and the world building, whole a bit inconsistent in a "the supernatural is hidden but not really" kind of way. Mark is an i terestinf character and I'm looking forward to getting into book two. my only real issue is the Anthology style. if you like this kind of thing then you'll rate this higher than I have. It's just not my kind of thing. but if your on the fence, I encourage you to give this a shot.

Worth a listen

This was on the Plus Catalog and named close to another series on it that I was enjoying, turns out this is nothing like the other series, But it is closes to a Dresden series I liked a lot, Not as much detail. but the action keeps moving I enjoyed it. It has good corrector creation. The story moves fast not any dreaded slow times. The Narrator does a great job.

That was a fun adventure!

First let me say how glad I am that I’m not the only one that’s wondered if werewolves could have chocolate...

This was a really fun story. I may be a bit biased, however, since I’m from the Pittsburgh area and knew of a lot of places in the story. Go to google street view and search Water Street, Kecksburg and virtually cruise down the road til you see the Kecksburg Ambulance sign and look up on the hill to see the “Acorn”.

Mini road trip memories aside, the story and narration are brilliant!

This whole season was just a joy to binge and I’m hoping the next few make it to audible soon!

great narration! fun story

enjoyed this... very no nonsense and not "angst-y". with so many stories in one group I think it could have benefited from some editing where the explanations of his friends and family got a bit repetative... I wondered if there was a repeat of a story. but, I enjoyed it anyway!

Great fun; the Bubbaverse grows!

This is a pleasing, episodic collection of monster hunting and paranormal adventure, sharing a universe with Bubba the Monster Hunter. Rather than the south, however, these stories tour the lakes and forests of Northwest PA. It helps that that's my home country, but anyone who likes supernatural adventure will enjoy this book. The main character is a likeable guy of Polish stock, reminding me of countless good guys I've known here in life. Pacing is good, straightforward payoff of all setups. The stories mostly stand alone, which is a nice change sometimes, with the development of the setting and evolution of the characters serving as the larger arc, with ample set up for more to play out over future books. I truly hope the Martins continue with this series!

Roger Wayne delivers great audio, as he reliably does on all series he reads. Highly recommended!

Mark Wojcik the phenomenal supernatural fighter!

Mark Wojcik is a regular guy with a mission to eradicate the supernatural and demonic activity in Western Pennsylvania. The things that go bump in the night destroyed his life by killing his family. In these short novellas, are the stories of his adventures protecting others from the supernatural. He works for the Occulatum, a Vatican organization. With the help of his band of friends he fights the monsters others can’t along the back roads of Western Pennsylvania. These are stand alone stories with lots of action and swearing. The introductory information about his reasons for fighting and his friends are repeated for each story. If you can get past that you will find the stories enjoyable.

Fun!

Great story, well paced, lots of fun! I really enjoyed the narration as well! Overall, so enjoyable!

Fantastic!

I really enjoyed this story(s) and the narration was perfect. I kept picturing the main character as Sam Winchester from Supernatural (the good years). I’ll definitely pickup the next audiobook when it comes out...great job all around!

Awesome Book

I have listened to this book many times over since I purchased it. The style, pace, and content of the writing is top notch. Not only is the writing good, the narrator does an amazing job.
