A creepy and eerie, adventure of a book of many stories that kept me intrigued to find out more about the series. The narrator was great and kept me interested in the story.

Just when you thought the series couldn't get any stranger, think again because it did. There was a lot of stuff happening in this book and all of it was weird. I can't wait to read Fight Tub, the next book in the Bedlam Bible series. These books are whack.
I love Connor Brannigan's voice and I look forward to finding more audiobooks read by Connor in the future.

What a fever dream this audiobook has been!
I loved those short and weirdly delightful stories, seemingly disjointed but coming perfectly together in the end.
The author has a powerful sense of imagery and you're there, in these nightmarish landscapes, and you cannot look away as you dive further and further into the horror.
I will definitely check the rest of william Pauley III's work.

Short stories to intertwine your mind with the macabre and Halloween vibes of fall slowly falling upon us!

The mystery and draw of the book was definitely there but I think that the transitions between the different story lines felt jumbled and confusing. The storyline felt sparse of detail. This Novella needs a lot of focus and attention and is not really just a casual read. The ending of the book felt rushed but definitely brought the detail in and wrapped up the book as a whole well.
Overall I feel as though if I read the other two books I would have been more invested in this one, but I was not aware when I began reading that this book was part of a series.

OK. No. This is a bizarre stream of consciousness violent and strange and nit even a little entertaining. I don't even understand the point of this story.

โThe Astronaut Dreambook: The Bedlam Bible #3โ, by William Pauley III, is unsettling sci-fi horror. Strange things happen in Eigth tower block.
In the beginning, we learn that the prison deep within Eighth Block Tower has one prisoner who becomes poisoned and dreams of astronauts. At this point, short sci-fi horror stories begin.
Are these stories dreams? Part 2 will have you wondering as the over-arcing story comes full circle.
"The Astronauts Dreambook: The Bedlam Bible #3" is an intense sci-fi horror novella. Pauley creates an atmosphere with bizarre descriptions. I liked that the parts were connected. The strange descriptions and intense atmosphere captured my attention. I was not expecting bug horror in space ๐ณ. Several sections were unsettling, which I loved!
This is book three. I must read the first two books and explore the strangeness in the eighth block tower. If you love sci- fi horror, I highly recommend this novella. 5 โญ๏ธ

๐ You know those memes where itโs like โOther Peopleโs Dreams: I had a dream where I met my crush vs My dream: [insert absolute chaos]โ
๐ชThis book perfectly fits into the โMy Dreamsโ category!
๐ฉโ๐I loved the imagery that made me feel me both invested and disturbed. Like every other William Pauley III book Iโve read, I was left discombobulated and wishing the book was longer.
๐ค๐ฝ Luckily this book is #3 of the Bedlam Bible series, so I get to explore more disturbing corners of the 8th block tower.
๐ซถ๐ผThank you NetGalley & Doom Fiction for the ALC! A special thanks to William Pauley III. All opinions are my own.

Story: โญโญโญโญ (4/5)
Audiobook: โญโญโญโญโญ (5/5) Connor Brannigan
I needed a palette cleanser and a quick read, and The Astronaut Dream Book did it! I've seen William Pauley's short stories appear everywhere (Mostly Fight Tub, lol) and thought I'd dive into Astronaut Dream since an audiobook was available.
I haven't read a psychedelic sci-fi horror book ever or even just a psychedelic book in general and that was a pretty good weird bizarre wild ride. It was different but in a good way! lol
As for the Audiobook, Connor Brannigan did pretty well. I enjoyed listening.
NetGalley provided The Astronaut Dream Book Audiobook; thank you, NetGalley and Doom Fiction, for the copy in return for an honest review.

Another excellent dark offering from William Pauley III, I really never tire of these baffling, thought provoking and nightmarish short stories.
The 8th block tower is a curious place with many strange goings on illustrated throughout the Bedlam Bible series. Really, you need to listen to the books to understand, but if you like 50โs horror, monsters and surrealism then you will have a great time with this book.
I have listened to this series in the wrong order, but it hasnโt hindered my enjoyment. As they are all interconnected, I think it would perhaps have been a little more linear but not much!
Connor is a fantastic narrator as ever.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book in the Bedlam Bible series. It was scary and trippy. I enjoyed this one, it left me with some questions at the end.

This one felt like being told a Halloween story, it was dark, a little weird and Iโm not entirely sure what I had just spent the last 2 hours listening to. The book kind of circles back to the beginning at the end which I found rather comforting considering the twists and turns the book takes.
It follows a man who has been poisoned and the journey his mind takes.
I have given this title 3 stars, it was a very different book for me and Iโm glad I have it a shot. I feel this book is better suited for people who like scary stories and donโt mind a little gore more than I do.
The narrator was great, the story is well written and Iโd like to thank @netgalley for the opportunity to listen to the audio for this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for letting me review this book in audiobook format. I think the narrator was perfect for this story. This book is my first experience with this authors work but it was fantastic; creepy, intriguing, I couldnโt stop listening. It was a short listen, which is perfect if you have just a little free time on your hands. If youโre looking for a weird (in a good way) story to breakup your everyday, I highly recommend this one! Apokalypsis was definitely my favorite. This is book three in the Bedlam Bible series, and while Iโm sure there might have been some context I needed- I didnโt feel completely and totally lost with this so I think it could be enjoyed even with no prior knowledge of the series

This book was truly a wild ride! I found myself a bit confused at times (which may have been intentional) but when I picked this up, I also didnโt realize it was the third in a series. Even with that in mind, I will say, it does hold up well as a standalone. Itโs hard to explain what this book is about but not in a bad way! It felt like a very strange, disturbing, fever dream and some of the imagery will definitely stick with me! I will for sure read the other Bedlam Bible stories after this one.

I am not sure of what I just did listen to, but I liked it.
5 Chapters, but 4 Stories.
Each getting more disgusting in a creepy awesome way.
I enjoyed all of these stories well enough to listen to this Audio-Book in one go.
The chapters were bizarre, were weird, they were.
Outlandish scenarios and cascaded what-ifs. Revolting moments of abnormal happenings just as much as sad moments of realisationsโฆ all brought together here.
My definitve favourite was the middle storyโฆ The Church of Death and Nothingness
Even though at one time I knew what was about to happen, I loved it most of them all none the less!

As a Pauley fan, this is not my first trip to see what the residents of Eighth Block are up to. If itโs yours, do not fret, the author has written this as a nice jumping on point as are many of his other books, though you can count on references to other works, as this is another chunk of lore to add to that existing universe.
I love that kind of stuff! It makes these tales extra rewarding to read and reread. Think of those weird interconnected kids books that would all take place in the same school or town, itโs like that but all grown up and way more messed up.
I enjoyed this as one of the better eighth block tales, but it also serves a pretty nice stand alone title. Itโs weird, itโs creepy, and itโs trippy, you gotta love it!

Iโm not sure whether this was a new book in the Bedlam Bible series, or a nightmare I had after listening to the first couple audiobooks in the series. Either way, it seemed to bring together a number of elements from the series, chaotically mixed together with a side of astronaut, an insect woman, and a dogman. If it wasnโt a nightmare before, it may well be nowโฆ
The audiobook was enjoyably narrated by Connor Brannigan.
Thank you William Pauley III, Doom Fiction, and NetGalley for providing this ALC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

I will always read this author. His short, trippy, horror stories are captivating. I listened to the audio book and I really enjoyed it. This story did not disappoint! Anything that I read and I can say โwhat the heck did I just heck did I just readโ is 5-Stars in my book. Also, I absolutely love this cover.

This was my first The Bedlam Bible book and I was pleasantly surprised!
The atmosphere is very eerie and dark with an absurd undertone.
My favorite stories were 'Nostalgia Part 1', 'Nostalgia part 2' and 'Apokalypsis'.
The other ones were intriguing and fun after a reread but the first time I read those they were a bit harder to follow.
On that note I would definitely recommend rereading the book once you are finished with the crazy ending, as it's only 2 hours/112 pages and you really get more out of it once you know how the stories are interconnected!

Usually audio books leave me confused and annoyed that I couldnโt follow along. This book however, I felt I could understand everything that was going on and actually enjoyed listening. This was my first book by William and will for sure be heading to Barnes and noble this weekend for more. This cover is gorgeous as well.
