This is just 2 hours long with few short stories. Again the narration is just amazing. I liked first story but others were just okay.

There's something strange but good about the way William Pauley III writes that it gets you hooked. Whether you like where the story goes, doesn't even matter. He just has a way to keep the reader engaged. Not my favorite among his books but definitely good.

Thank you Netgalley and Doom fiction for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

The Astronaut Dream Book was nothing like I was expecting. It was graphic, strange and odd in the best way possible and I really liked it!

The audiobook narrator did an excellent job and I will definitely be looking for more books by not only the author but the narrator as well.

Can I just say I think the cover is cool. Connor Brannigan does another fantastic job as narrator and I'm still in awe of the talented William Pauley III.

This is really quick to listen to. It's very short. The world is still bizarre, I wouldn't expect anything less. Without giving to much away I could picture the astronaut and hornet larvae. Yuk! In the last story I kept thinking what a sad and pathetic woman. She is so desperate for connection with someone, anyone, even bug-lady. I didn't understand how that story tied in with the others until her son came barging through the door. Then oh ok now I see.... The ending upset me. I mean, who just wastes two bowls of alphabet soup?

I want to thank NetGalley and Doom Fiction audio for a copy of the audiobook in exchange for my honest and voluntary opinion/review.

Thanks to NetGalley for the Audiobook!

First, the narrator did a great job!
Second, the story is intriguing and it draws you in right from the start.
Murders and gore make this book, the scenes come to life thanks to the authors words and the narrators style.
Story seems to be all over the place, but it somehow comes together and makes perfect sense.
You can def relate to a few scenes too, weirdly.

"There were feelings attached to this vast empty landscape, the stretch of infinite blackness all around him and those feelings simply could not be imitated. Even on earth standing still in the night and staring at the stars above then feeling a floating, or more accurately the spiritual connection between a living thing and the rest of the universe could not be captured in any photograph or painting and certainly not in some NASA testing facility."

Whoa what a surprise. This was an amazing short story. Right from the beginning I was hooked and couldn't put it down the whole way. The author knew how to thrill the reader in a spellbinding way The action was so awesome and I loved the setting. The eerie, alien environment was well built and the characters realistic. There are fights, visions, letters, and unexplained mysteries and all sorts of cool stuff. The writing style was also quite spooky.

Even in the small amount of pages, the story created was unexpectedly intriguing and full of suspense. There were murders, gore and a lot of disturbing scenes and such a gripping way of storytelling! Just wonderful. A very quick flavorful read overall. Loved it.

I enjoyed this book. It’s funny how it was able to stick with me. I started reading this book Back in Oct, got away from reading for quite some time yet I still had this book with me when I picked it back up to finish it.

This is so interesting and confusing at the same time. It definitely kept my brain working and engaged in the story.

I was unaware that this was part of a series, I thought it was a stand alone novella. It has an interesting premise but maybe novellas aren't for me, or maybe im just missing something since I haven't read the first two installments. The writing was interesting, it made grotesque subjects almost sound beautiful.

If you like the weird & absurd then you’ll love this story! It had me scratching my head and feeling glad I don’t live in this tower cuz there’s strange happenings there.

This is a new genre fir me & I'm loving it.

A quick fun read! Love the cover’

I also enjoyed the narration!

4.5 stars

This was not for me. It gotten really boring once we delved into the dream and nothing was really happening after that. I don’t get the connection to how this with the other two books at all.

I didn't get a chance to properly read this before it archived, but the little bit I did read I enjoyed.

I got the audio of this, and although the stories were OK, they didn't grip me as I had hoped, and the narration did not keep my attention as the performer seemed quite dry.

Thank you to NetGalley for the audio ARC of The Astronaut Dream Book by William Pauley III.

Another creepy and trippy experience from William Pauley III.

I listened to The Astronaut Dream Book in one sitting and enjoyed going through the short stories.

I will never stop praising Connor Brannighan, he is one of the best narrators there is.

This was definitely creepy. I haven't read the other 2 books in the series and got this one as a Netgalley audio. I enjoyed the short book, though. The stories worked together in a way I hadn't expected. I listened in one sitting, but mainly because I had time.

The writing and stories were fine, but didn't grip me in a way that I couldn't do things like get ready for my morning while listening. Overall, a fairly pleasant experience (even if I wish I'd waited until the sun had come up for a couple of these).

Thank you Net Galley and William Pauley III for this audiobook! While I have not read the first 2 entries of this series, I still enjoyed this collection of short stories. I found them interesting and they held my attention well. The narration was done well and kept my attention. There were a couple stories that lost me a bit but I think that may also be from not having the background of the first two books to pull from. Overall I would definitely recommend giving these a try if you enjoy weird horror.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

I really enjoyed ‘The Astronaut Dream Book’ it was well narrated and really good.

Rating 4 stars

Really liked the narrator. The book it’s self was weird and not sure what I just listened to. Definitely a trippy space read. Can’t say if I would recommend it. The people I know would not like it but probably other readers might.

I have a new favorite horror author. It is not often that I read something that is actually scary, but this one will stick with me. Super creepy. I have been slowly catching up on the series and I love how things are connected, but not necessarily linear. I cannot wait to get more from this author.

5 stars

Another brilliant audio by William Pauley III, this one was completely insane and at one point I thought maybe William needs to see a brain specialist because it’s so bizarre what he comes up with! Anyhow I can’t wait to hear more from this author and his series!

Did I intend to binge listen to this series? No, I didn’t, but here we are. I skipped straight to #3 in the bedlam bible series- as I am waiting for the second book to arrive and I had the third book available to me on audiobook. Like others who have read this series have said, I did not feel as if I was missing some big piece of information by not reading in order. I do wonder if there are some connections to the second book that I am missing that will fall into place once I read it.

As with the first book of this series, I found myself thoroughly entertained. A book filled with the dreams (or are they?) of a poisoned prisoner, this book takes you on a journey from horrifying to vulnerable and emotional.

I feel like this is that kind of book (and series, from what I’m seeing) that people either “get” or they don’t. I love the writing style being a collection of shorter stories that interconnect. I love that the stories have the reader questioning reality. I love that it makes me let go and use my imagination rather than holding onto the strict black and white thinking I can get stuck in at times.

Overall, another success by this author. I will absolutely be continuing this series.
