Murr is also proud to be starring alongside the other Tenderloins and Jameela Jamil in TBS's hilarious show THE MISERY INDEX, and in IMPRACTICAL JOKERS: DINNER PARTY, a socially-distanced truTV hit in which the Tenderloins bring their signature quirky humor to quarantine. Murr's first novel, AWAKENED, exploded onto the scene in 2018, hitting #1 on the Sunday Times and being described by critics as "a tight, pulse-pounding story that practically cries out for a film adaptation" [Booklist]. The terrifying premise: a new subway line, desperately needed in New York City was finally unveiled.but the excavation unleashed a scourge of murderous beasts. It was followed up by THE BRINK, and the trilogy came to a crescendo earlier this year with OBLITERATION, described by Brad Meltzer as "loads of action, explosive fights, and of course.even more creatures. So much fun!" This fall, Murr and Wearmouth have teamed up again just in time for Halloween to bring fans a tale of creepy crawly fear, set deep in the forest: DON'T MOVE.

This epic fantasy that includes political upheaval, taboo magic, and a hint of romance is voiced by four talented narrators who shape the intensity of the story. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss Rebecca Roanhorse’s enthralling audiobook inspired by Pre-Columbian American civilizations. The narrators read four overlapping storylines, with each voice distinct and amplifying the action to drive the story forward. Nicole Lewis smoothly narrates as Xiala, a Teek woman hired to captain a canoe to bring a mysterious passenger to Tova before the solstice. That passenger, Serapio, is voiced by Shaun Taylor-Corbett, who has a straightforward narration that suits the vessel to a god. Cara Gee narrates as the Sun Priest Naranpa, and she and her city are unaware of the vengeance coming their way. Kaipo Schwab’s rhythmic voice joins later in the story, as Okoa, a younger man who sets sparks flying in Tova. An explosive ending will leave listeners anxious to discover what happens next.

Fans who've been anticipating Tana French’s next audiobook will not be disappointed. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Roger Clark’s standout performance. His American-Irish-British background makes him uniquely qualified to narrate a tense story of a Chicago cop trying to solve a mystery far out of his jurisdiction. He’s longing for a quiet retirement in the Irish countryside but is drawn into the disappearance of a local youth, and soon discovers that his quiet retreat holds many secrets and hidden dangers. It’s a slow burn of a story, and Clark narrates the dialogue, both rambling and tense, with particular ease and conviction. Published by Penguin Audio.

Perfect Halloween listening, guaranteed to give you chills. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten share their thoughts on a classic adapted for the stage -- MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN. It’s a riveting adaptation of a story within a story, as told by Mary Shelley, that is startlingly different from more familiar movie adaptations.

Jackie Sanders narrates a memoir on sexism in science from Rita Cowell, a leading microbiologist and the first woman to lead the National Science Foundation. Host Jo Reed and Robin Whitten discuss Jackie Sanders’s straightforward narration, mirroring Cowell’s strategy when dealing with obstructionist male colleagues—stay calm and avoid channeling melodramatics or anger. Cowell persevered in her career to make historical discoveries but faced systemic sexism and bias, and she does not shy away from detailing specific discrimination.

Hari Kunzru narrates his disturbing novel at a deliberate pace in an eerily calm tone that mimics his protagonist’s diminishing mental state. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this dystopian novel that ends just at the moment of the 2016 election. The protagonist has arrived in Germany after receiving a writing fellowship, but instead of working on the book, he’s drawn into an alt-right filmmaker’s show that unnerves him. Kunzru’s softly intoned English accent gives the audiobook a sense of otherness, and the plot unfolds as the protagonist’s mind descends into paranoia.

Guy Lockard delivers an outstanding performance of Jacqueline Woodson’s brief, eloquent story of 12-year-old ZJ, whose father, a former pro football player, is suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The story is set in the early 2000s when little was known about the dangers of repeated head injuries in football, and listeners will follow the story of one family’s painful, slow realizations of loss. Lockard gives voice to the exhilarating before time with happy football games and fun with friends, and he compellingly shifts his tone and tempo as ZJ’s dad succumbs to the agonizing effects of this terrible condition.

Just a few months ago, master of comedy James S. Murray-known to fans as "Murr"-starred in IMPRACTICAL JOKERS: THE MOVIE, which ended its second weekend in wide release with a total of over $11 million, and celebrated the highest per-screen average among major releases. Murr is also known for his hysterical comedy work in truTV's immensely popular Impractical Jokers program, holding strong as the #1 unscripted comedy on television; the first 4 seasons of Impractical Jokers will also be released on HBO Max, launching May 27th. Murr is also proud to be starring in TBS's hilarious show The Misery Index, which recently kicked off its second season, and "Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party," a brand new show on truTV where the Tenderloins bring their signature quirky humor to quarantine, which premiered May 21st. In addition to his film and TV work, Murr is back with OBLITERATION (Harper Voyager; June 23, 2020), the third chilling installment in the international bestselling Awakened series he has written with celebrated science fiction author Darren Wearmouth. Asked how he got into writing this exciting series of novels, Murr says it was the culmination of a lifelong passion. "I've been a huge fan of science fiction and horror my entire life, and AWAKENED draws inspiration from movies that scared the hell out of me like Alien, The Thing, Event Horizon, and The Descent. When I wrote the thriller, I wanted it to feel like an edge of your seat TV show or movie. It took over a year to finish and thirteen years to get published, and I've never been more passionate about a project in my life!" The resulting novel, Awakened, exploded onto the scene. The terrifying premise: a new subway line, desperately needed in New York City was finally unveiled.but the excavation unleashed a scourge of murderous beasts. Last year, the duo followed up with the blockbuster The Brink, which followed former NYC Mayor Tom Cafferty as he fought the demons of that fateful day when the Z-train subway unveiling became a massacre-as well as the subterranean creatures that were spreading across the globe. Cafferty took on Albert Van Ness, mastermind behind an insidious corporation that controlled the world from the shadows by harnessing the bloodthirsty monsters. The end of The Brink sees Van Ness imprisoned for his crimes, thanks to Cafferty, ex-NYPD officer Sarah Bowcut, and tech-expert Diego Munoz. This summer Murr and Wearmouth return with OBLITERATION, a crescendo of creature horror and fast-paced thrills that ramps up the tension and terror higher than ever before!
