From the press release:
Zombies Attack Your Ears!
Stephen James Walker and David J Howe, Editorial Directors of Telos Publishing are delighted to announce that audio rights to Sam Stone’s Steampunk horror novella ZOMBIES AT TIFFANY’S have been picked up by Neil Gardner at Spokenworld Audio.
‘We’ve long been an admirer of Neil’s work in the audio field,’ says David Howe. ‘He’s a great supporter of genre fiction and audio, and so when he approached us about whether the rights to Sam’s book were available, we were over the moon.’
‘I am extremely excited to be bringing the zombie-infused adventure of Kat Lightfoot to audio,’ says Spokenworld Audio MD and lead producer Neil Gardner. ‘Having previously produced Sam’s short horror story collection ZOMBIES IN NEW YORK AND OTHER BLOODY JOTTINGS on behalf of AudioGO, I jumped at the chance to work on another of her brilliant stories, and bring Sam to my own audiobook label. We have the fantastic Stephanie Cannon back to read, and will be indulging our love for adding music and sound effects. Hopefully this will be just the first of many Sam Stone audiobooks that Spokenworld Audio will be producing … she is a unique talent who brings creativity and incredible imagination to everything she writes.’
‘I can’t wait to hear what Neil and the crew at Spokenworld do with my Zombies,’ says Sam Stone. ‘I was absolutely delighted with their work on my short story collection, and I know that they will do a fantastic job on this book too. It’s a pleasure hearing my characters come alive in this way …’
Autumn 2013 sees Spokenworld Audio rapidly expanding its audiobook range, with a whole host of titles including factual history, science fiction and anthology horror. Leading this slew of great releases will be ZOMBIES AT TIFFANY’S by leading UK horror author Sam Stone.
ZOMBIES AT TIFFANY’S – the audiobook, will be released on 31st October 2013, exclusively at www.spokenworldaudio.com
