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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Good but the pro gay stuff is a tad annoying.

Most of the book was good. A lot of Bubba the monster hunter feels. The pro LGBT crap took me out of the story though. if it doesn't bother you then yeah I'd reccomend the book

Variety of Monsters

I liked the protagonist monster hunter and the variety of monsters from ghosts, gnomes, zombies, alien influence, and more.

The book is a collection of shorter stories which causes repetition in introducing the hero and his friends. I did enjoy the varied friends too- a priest, a gay couple who help with research magic and legends, and a new romance interest.

The narrator does a gyjob with the many voices, male and ft. I'm willing to listen to more

Like "Dirty Jobs" of the Paranormal

Both the style, humor and voice acting reminds me of the show "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe. The protagonist has a pragmatism and humor that makes the insane situations he faces seem believable. That's unexpected in a horror/paranormal/conspiracy theory...hell, just call it a genre-bending romp. I didn't want it to end.
