Invisible Monsters (by Chuck Palahniuk) (UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK) : Blackstone Audio Apps : Folium Edition

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk (unabridged) was produced by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see below for features list).

She’s a fashion model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But when a sudden freeway “accident” leaves her disfigured and incapable of speech, she is transformed from the beautiful center of attention to an invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists.

Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from becoming a real woman, who will teach her that reinventing yourself means erasing your past and making up something better—and that salvation hides in the last places you’ll ever want to look.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the same exact 5-star recording that is available through other outlets at higher prices. It is unabridged and professionally recorded at Blackstone Audio by Audie Award-winner Anna Fields. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Invisible Monsters makes the author’s jarring first novel, Fight Club, seem like a leisurely buggy ride.”—San Francisco Chronicle

This is called scene setting: where everybody is, whos alive, whos dead. This is Evie Cottrells big wedding reception moment. Evie is standing halfway down the big staircase in the manor house foyer, naked inside whats left of her wedding dress, still holding her rifle.”-Invisible Monsters
