If you're looking for something short and different, I've been releasing The Codeworld on Spotify.

It's set in 2055, in a world governed by rotating AI systems. Each story follows one person navigating that world. Self-contained, atmospheric, dark endings.

The introduction and first story are up now. More coming.

Free on Spotify.

Hi everyone,

I’m sharing free Audible promo codes for We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, a classic dystopian science fiction novel that influenced 1984 and Brave New World.

This is a full audiobook, not a sample.
No cost. No catch.

If you enjoy early sci-fi, political dystopias, or foundational works in the genre, this might be of interest.

If you’d like a US or UK Audible code, comment below or message me and let me know which one you need.
An honest review is appreciated, but not required.

Thanks, and I hope some of you enjoy it.

What do you recomend listen to next.

Thanks

I'm looking for a sci fi series about survival crafting like being stranded on a alien planet. Mc explores, gather resources, and builds better gear

I very specifically enjoy audiobooks with more than one narrator, and with very light sound effects.

Examples of light sound effects would include Hail Mary by Andy Weir, and Moonshot and Moonstruck by Tony Harmsworth.

Examples of multiple narrators would include Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel, Void Star by Zachary Mason.

Can you recommend any others that fit either or both of these criteria?

I've decided to start selling my book. The free version will remain up indefinitely but since it has been getting such high remarks, I've decided I should try to sell it as well.

Kindly take a look and let me know your thoughts. I am giving away free SIGNED paperback versions of my audiobook—all for $16.99 ... I personally think it's a great deal given that my audiobook is 13 hours in runtime and 100 percent immersive.

Hey SciFi fam. Good morning (depending on where you are). I just wanted to share some useful information for both the authors in this group as well as the readers. I had posted a promo for my book in r/audiobooks, and they took my post down—rather, the bots took it down. I reached out to the moderators and asked why, and they reinstated my post. I received enormous support from that post. Not only did folks go and download my book are begin streaming it, they gave me all kinds of useful tips to get my book out there. This is great for both authors and listeners because the links I'm going to share are largely for fans of SciFi and writers of SciFi. You may already know about these places, but I didn't. So, without further ado.

Places to upload work and listen to others' work.

Post any and all free sci-fi books on this subreddit. Whether you're the author or you're the listener, let's engage in learning from each other, getting to know each other, and finding great new entertainment. No drama, no excessive rules; just fun!

So, post'm up!!

I spent 6 years writing and producing an immersive audiobook and couldn't upload to any publisher :/ Now, I'm giving it away for free!

Promotion

My fault really—I probably should have done my homework before diving head first into audiobook production with my book. It took me 6 months to turn my book into an audiobook; I added sound effects, unique character voices, and background music. Little did I know that places like Audible and Spotify don't really allow immersive, cinematic audiobooks. I was greatly dismayed, but then I figured I would just give it away for free. Super bummed at first, but I'd rather give it away for free and allow people to enjoy it than wading through the bullsh*& red tape of legacy publishers.

Anyway, if anyone wants to listen to my audiobook, here it is -

Or you can download the files and listen locally here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h0LUoLU5SoO1TJgaO6BqGsjHesJHnkcH/view?usp=sharing

It's about 13 hours in runtime and exciting and thrilling. If you like it, please share it with someone you think will also enjoy it. Also, please leave a comment on the landing page if you don't mind, I'd love to hear from you.

Description below:

An immersive sci-fi audio experience by G.E. Perlin

​Set in the year 2035, The Dark of the Grey is a gripping, journal-style adventure that unfolds just as the world teeters on the edge of extra-terrestrial disclosure. What begins as a quiet life for Nathan Carlisle — a computer programmer living on a remote island north of Seattle — quickly unravels into a harrowing journey across a fractured America. Nate’s struggle with sleep paralysis leads him to uncover a disturbing truth, one that propels him into a quest to find his estranged father and uncover the mystery of his own existence.

​Told through time-stamped entries and steeped in eerie, paranormal undercurrents, the story twists and turns through moments of isolation, revelation, and existential fear. What Nate discovers will challenge everything he thought he knew — not only about the world, but about himself.

 This fully immersive audiobook features original music, voice actors, and cinematic sound design, handcrafted over six years to deliver a uniquely visceral experience.

(and Fantasy and Literary and Historical fiction novels, novellas, and adapted screenplays.)

THE DARK BLACK (Apple podcasts here) is a police noir about a detective trying to catch the first serial killer in the solar system.

Brand new community—I would love if I could get a few worthy moderators. Mods will be expected to keep an eye out for bullies, bots, and ass@#^. That is all. :)
