Vampires: Murderous creatures in the shape of humans, they stalk the night feeding on the blood of innocents. Seemingly immortal, they can be destroyed only by the use of a stake through the heart, severing of their heads, or exposure to sunlight. By the year 12,090 AD vampires have ruled the Earth for almost 300 years, and it is only these weaknesses that have kept these foul monsters from totally overrunning the world. But what happens when those rules no longer apply?

Story
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Story
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the cyberpunk movement.

As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.

Welcome to Desperation. Once a thriving copper-mining town in the middle of the Nevada desert, Desperation is now eerily abandoned. It's the last place that travellers like the Carver family, bound for vacation, and writer Johnny Marinville, astride his Harley, would expect to be stopped and charged. But Desperation still has a local cop - a unique regulator who patrols the wilderness highway. The secrets buried in Desperation are as terrifying as the forces summoned to encounter them.

Summary
12,090 A.D.
It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under 300 years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.
Every village wants a Hunter - one of the warriors who have pledged their laser guns and their swords to the eradication of the Nobility. But some Hunters are better than others, and some bring their own kind of danger with them….
Enter D - a lone, mysterious vampire hunter, sought out by the desperate Doris Lang. Bitten by the vampire lord Count Lee, Doris is destined to her unholy fate.... Can D deliver her from her curse and bring her to salvation, or will she forever be part of the unholy dead?
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! From creator Hideyuki Kikuchi, one of Japan's leading horror authors.
Performed by Scott McCormick, David Cui Cui, Laura C. Harris, Ryan Carlo Dalusung, Eric Singdahlsen, Rob McFadyen, Amanda Forstrom, Jenna Sharpe, Peter Holdway, Terence Aselford, Eric Messner, Michael John Casey, Ken Jackson, Kay Eluvian, Megan Poppy, Jillian Levine-Sisson, James J.

I was hesitant to buy this when I heard the narration was bad but I’m glad I went ahead and got it anyway. I suppose his voice might annoy some people but I found it perfectly fine and appropriate. Don’t miss out on a great listen.

The Narrator Ruined It For Me
This was a disappointment. The narrator sounds like his nose is plugged up. Plus it sounds like he's struggling to read the words for the first time. Bad performance. The narrator ruins an otherwise fun audiobook. I will be asking for my credit back.

Everything is solid except the narration.
Mediocre tonal projection with a laundry pin locking his nose shut.
It's difficult to get past the sounds of a narrator who dearly needs to blow their nose and take some sinus meds..

Long-time 'Vampire Hunter D' Fan Disappointed
When I discovered the 1985 anime film 'Vampire Hunter D' in the early 1990's, I instantly became a fan of the character and the world. Since then I've enjoyed the books, manga, and the sequel anime film 'Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust'. When I first joined Audible, I immediately searched for the 'VHD' series but it didn't exist yet. So, I was excited when I recently saw that not only the audio books were coming, but there was this dramatized version available. I'm a big fan of the recently Audible dramatized 'Sandman' series based on the comics from Neil Gaiman. This isn't even close to that producion level, it definitely is a lower budget producion. While low budget doesn't always mean bad, but unfortunately this one isn't one of those diamonds in the rough.
The story itself is a perfectly fine sci-fi fantasy/horror adventure. While being slightly edited, it pretty much is exactly the same as the original book. However the weakness here is the performances. It is a bit of a mixed bag. The narrator might be the biggest issue here. He is very nasally and it does sound like he's suffering from a severe cold. It becomes distracting. The actors playing Doris, Dan and Greco are okay, although sometimes they do have a tendency to overcook the American southern accent and drawl a bit. The best of the voice actors are probably the ones playing Count Magnus Lee and L'Armica. The one voice that seemed miscast was D. The actor was good, I just personally didn't feel he fit D, he just came across as too young sounding. Perhaps its because I have the voices that performed D in the animes burned into my head. D was always had a reserved and adult voice. Perhaps they were going off the constant "beautiful" or "youthful" descriptions of D which influenced thier casting. The actor portraying Count Magnus Lee might've been a better fit for D.
In conclusion, the story is good fun, but the performances and lower budget producion bring the overall experience down. If Dark Horse decides to continue with the 'VHD' series in this format, I'll definitely be skipping those. I think the regular unabridged and non-dramatized versions of these books might be the better experience moving forward.
