Over the years audiobooks have become an increasingly popular way of enjoying the latest releases.  Pretty much every new mainstream horror title now has an audio version released alongside the book (or shortly afterwards). Furthermore, over time it's often the case that further audio versions of the same story are recorded and released. Sometimes condensed into a bridged version, sometimes involving a full audio cast, sometimes re-written to suit the audio format; the original written tale is often reinvented and painstakingly adapted to varying degrees of success. DLS Reviews attempts to look at some of these audiobook recordings to gauge their respective success.
