Lost?

Wandering, looking for a new world to explore?

New characters to meet? New evils to hate, new loves to melt into?

Look no further, friend. Welcome to New Worlds, a collection of short stories and novel samples from Amazon and USA Today best-selling author Chris Philbrook.

From zombie apocalypse to hard science fiction, urban fantasy to Lovecraftian gothic horror, Chris' writing surely offers you something to enjoy. New Worlds features several short stories; "The Mother in the Lake" (a Lovecraft-inspired tale told by a teenage girl about her family and their lake house), "Roots Grown Deep" (a dark fantasy story about a tree deep in the woods that hungers for far more than water and sun), "Yerba Mate" (an urban fantasy yarn about goblins with an addiction to caffeine), and "Phil's Story" (a dark tale about a man working in a gun shop on the day the zombies rise).

New Worlds also has the first five chapters of the military space opera Colony Lost, the modern Lovecraftian horror The Awakening, and the young-adult dystopian novel The Phone. From The Reemergence series, to Adrian's Undead Diary, The Dry Earth, Elmoryn's Kinless Trilogy, to his space opera epic The Ghara Chronicles, fans have been loving, sharing, and celebrating Chris' works for more than 10 years now.

gore and horror

too much descriptive gore horror is not my favorite genre but the science fiction is quite good

Unimpressive

Pretty average and boring stories. Nothing stood out as particularly good but at least I got it on sale. The narrator mispronounces quite a few words throughout. I give it a 3 because it's at least not painful to listen to. Might be good for people who don't like stories to be too engaging.

amazing

I loved this. It was fun to run around a favorite author's thoughts. I look forward to more in the future

Chris philbrook is an amazing author!

**I was given this audiobook free and asked to perform an unbiased honest review

I found, true to Chris philbrook form, excellent character development. Chris has a way of writing a story and absolutely hooking you immediately. you become very invested in all of his characters, I have found this with every book of his that I have read. my only problem with this book is the narrator. I was probably extremely spoiled to James Anderson Foster who did all of the undead diary series until the last book. the narrator has excellent voices and does a great job with the characters , however his actual narration is very irritating. it sounds as if he did not proofread the book, mispronounces words and takes pauses at very awkward moments. all in all I think this is an excellent book with very good stories worth the read if you're looking for new books to buy!

Movies get old

I've been a fan of AUD for years now and I have read the series multiple times. When my brother first introduced me to AUD, I was skeptical. However, I totally developed a bromance with Adrian fairly quick. I have never been a large quantity reader, but movies and TV shows in general get so boring sometimes. I love the way my mind can interpret books as I read them. I feel like it gives me the ability to slightly adapt each book to serve me personally. Each one of the stories in this particular book spoke to me differently. I can say without bullsh*t, that each one had me wanting to hear more. I am very grateful to Chris for hooking me up with this audible treasure! If I was better at managing my own trials in life, I would certainly buy one of everything Chris has had his hands in just to support a cool person. There truly aren't enough of us out there. However, I do hope that this review will help stimulate more purchases for Chris. Job well done!
