Description
Dark tales harvested from the mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler. From major-release novels to podcast-exclusive content, these "slices from the Siglerverse" — each a full-length tale — will immerse you in his twisted, intertwining worlds of horror and scifi. But beware, for his work is so addictive his fans call themselves the “Junkies,” always trembling for their next fiction fix. The first hit is always free…
Current season: DEATH IS BLACK, the fourth anthology in the Color Series. This collection draws on Scott's darker side (and yeah, we know, he's pretty dark already). Author notes after each story detail the inspiration behind the tale.

In the time before man, one social animal ruled the Americas. The wolf. Wolf packs roamed the continent, hunting and killing and breeding. But before any wolf ever saw the death that would walk on two legs, there came another danger …

Welcome to the family business. Hunter Hunterson and his kin live in Slayerville, KY, making their living chasing crack-smoking ogres, peeping-tom phantoms, bail-jumping zombie pimps and the occasional rabid unicorn. When a methed-out vampire (and family friend) goes on a road-trip rampage, Hunter and his kin pack up the truck and follow the trail of corpses all the way to San Francisco.
This reality-TV style story feels like a combination of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” meets “Ghostbusters” meets “The Beverly Hillbillies.” Hunter’s “war journal” is a mix of tawdry laughs and gut-churning horror.

To be marked as a sex offender, a pedophile, a child rapist, is to carry stigma that all but banishes you from society. And if that mark is literal -- a permanent, inoperable face tattoo -- anonymity vanishes, and all who see you know of your crime. For a man who is wrongly convicted of horrible deeds, this mark becomes his life.

Nature abhors a vacuum. One such vacuum exists in the “urban ecologies” of our cities. From bacteria to insects, from rodents to hawks, from feral cats to the mass numbers of pigeons, plants and animals weave together a web of life that goes mostly unnoticed by humans. What is missing from this mosaic? Four college students set out to find this mythical creature, the “Snipe,” and learn that a vacuum isn’t the only thing nature abhors.

The first episode of a podcast that celebrates the Sigler Junkies, recorded live with a chat room of said Junkies.
As this is a live recording, you’ll notice it’s a bit less polished than the fiction podcast. But in true Sigler fashion, there’s still some naughty language, lots of laughter, and general tomfoolery.
In this episode, we talk about AI in writing and audiobook narration as Scott preps for a panel at StokerCon 2024.

SLAY Season 1: It's a fun romp, if you like bounty hunters, contract killers, drug dealers, and magic. And, as it turns out, I do! Also, how the episodes were created is something of interest as well.
Loved the GFL series but his books have become predictable and he makes snarky political comments at the beginning of each cast. It gets really old really fast.
I'm a little disappointed in Mur. I actually listened to 27 mins of this. FML
love this!!!
Yeah!!! WtG Mt Fitzroy! 🎉✨💫🥳 get those reviews. Well deserved and earned!
God Mt Fitzroy is so damn good!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩
At 30:33, a phrase is repeated twice.
FYI, at 21:19, Choto's voice is NOT modulated.
Just finished Mount Fitzroy and I'm very sad I never wanted it to end did leave a review over at audible of course thank you thank you thank you Scott waiting forever for that and it was so worth it hope I don't have to wait another 15 years cuz I'm too damn old might not make it! love you man! junkie for life!
I'm listening to Mt.Saint Roy right now and let me tell you I had to fight myself to hit pause on the Audible app to come here and listen to this episode. It must stuck to be such an awesome Dark Overlord that your minions have to fight their own selves to decide which of your masterpieces to listen to futon moment to moment! LOVE Mt. Saint Roy!!!!!! thank you so much for this long awaited sequel.
thanks Scott and A!!!
Scott and A this is absolutely amazeballs! I cannot believe that I am listening to one of the GFL series like this, a dream come true. I've been listening to you since I feel like I was a young kid I'm 54 now so I guess that can't be completely true but it's been a long time my D.O. Listening to that throwback really made me feel my oats. I don't know if you know sometimes what you really do for people Scott. Maybe you do maybe that's why you do it. Can't be all about money cuz I'm pretty sure you probably make money from your books selling. S*** you sure as hell aren't making it giving s*** away well maybe indirectly. I like to think after all these years I know a little bit about you and I don't think you're giving it away for the money. 🤔 maybe that's just the old man being nostalgic. Either way I fucking love you man!
GLF? Whoops. Someone was so excited for this to be released, their fingers were moving too fast.
THANK YOU SCOTT!!!! and A and the pups!! So looking forward to hearing from the GFL SERIES.
Sure as hell did! All aspects the old talky talks, I even found and listened to a couple of kick ass podcasts that can still be found from the area back then!
you're still super amazing Scott!!
it's years later Scott but I still must say, you have the patience of God or maybe even someone better than that. I'm still out to lunch on that one ...🥺
went and got the audible version of this as well and am listening to it and your read side by side and honestly they add both so f'in awesome! Good luck with everything you endeavour Scott and A!
damnit a whole week. sigh. thanks Scott, A , everybody and fellow junkies!!!! Love ya all
So since you have been releasing Nocturnal again, Should we be expecting a long awaited sequel? also love your work! You are the 80s hair band of audiobooks!!!
