About this listen
"Sins of the Flesh": When the mutilated corpse of a wealthy author is discovered, the police officer sent to investigate finds a curious diary amongst the occult objects at the scene. Will he uncover the author's secret at the ruined chapel, and is he willing to pay the price that it demands?
"Sins of Treachery": On the death of their grandfather, twin brothers Simon and Gestas are left a map covered in alchemical symbols that could lead them to great wealth and power. But they find more than they expected in the frozen wastes of the Arctic north....
"Sins of Violence": In a brutal post-apocalyptic world, a young girl is about to be taken to The Minotaur for a blessing that will end her innocence. Can her sister gain access to the fortified city of Dis in time to stop the ritual and avenge her own lost youth?

Lilith grew up seeing and speaking with the dead, although she did not realize they were dead until her parents asked her to whom she was speaking with. It was the magic that came later when she reached puberty. She could not control the magic in those early years, so her parents had to move from Nazareth to Endor. The move was not far enough though, for it was not long before the rumors started.

He has witnessed the divine, and struggled against the darkness within all sons of Sanguinius.

When David stumbles upon a tragic young woman in a sordid Limehouse pub, he has no idea she’d recognize him as the last vampyre alive, nor that she’d be the one to pull out his story. Yet as he recalls his life from the sweltering vineyards of ancient Rome to the cold horrors of medieval Romania—as well as his tumultuous past with the mad and mysterious Lucius—he realizes she is much more than what she seems. Gothic horror and mythological fantasy blend seamlessly together in this thrilling adventure, breathing new life into vampire lore as it reveals its true origins.

Three stories inspired by Dante
Dante's Inferno is the basis for these three horrific stories. J.F. Penn is an accomplished author with fans all over the world. With her debut as narrator she proves there is nothing she is not capable of. Excellent stories with a superb narration.

Excellent stories from J.F. Penn
Joanna Penn has created three interrelated stories based on Dante’s Inferno that will grab you from the very start and keep you in rapt attention until that final scene. I had read these as separate stories quite some time back, but with them in a newly edited collection they were even better, additionally listening to the author narrate them was excellent, kind of like having an artist walk you through a complex painting. While this is the shortest audio book I’ve listened to, it may be the first that I listen to more than once. If you like horror that is buttressed by intrigue and deceit, grab either the audiobook or even the ebook.

Suspenseful short stories
*I was given this free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I didn't know what to expect with J.F. Penn narrating her own stories. I was highly impressed from the beginning! Penn's accent adds to the character of the story. Her knowing the story's intimately and giving us the rise, fall, and pause in her voice that gives the story suspense and intrigue. We don't get as much in different voice tones for the characters, but that's okay for this set of short stories.
These stories fit J.F. Penn's style of writing with a touch of suspense and mystical. There is a religious element used to the stories. I really enjoy J.F. Penn's writing from word selection to pacing. J.F. Penn has great talent in selecting words to describe the feeling in that action. She holds my attention in each short story.
Each story is not long, but they feel complete in telling. Even if they have a time jump, I feel as though it's not an impact time we are missing. I get what I want from each scene written, and it continues along with completing the story we are getting.
After the stories, J.F. Penn explains where the stories came from. She tells of her research and connection in the stories to the story Dante's Inferno. Very neat and cool to hear.
Sins of the Flesh:
A police officer who's down and out on is called to a death scene. While investigating the mutilated corpses items, a diary is found and intrigues the officer to find a secret hidden. The officer could find more than expected.
Sins of Treachery:
With the death of their Grandfather, Simon and Gestas go on the adventure their grandfather wanted them to take for wealth and power. The map is from the leather book Grandfather held dear, and now Simon does too.
This is a continuation of the item found in Sins of the Flesh, but thirty years in the future. The item is strong in it's hold on people and impact on them.
Sins of Violence:
A young girl returns to the city of the Minotaur to stop the blessing of her sister. Can she get to her sister in time?
This story is said to be in the future from the last story, Sins of Treachery. The world is now in a post-apocalyptic setting. What has happened to the world is mentioned in the story, but it does not divert from the direction of the story. This information adds to the danger of the world on the outside of the city.

I received a review copy from the author and this
I received a review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion. I purchased this collection when it first came out to read, I found all three very interesting and unique. I enjoyed them very much. My only complaint was the length, they were not nearly long enough. When I found out that they were now in audio format and the author was reading it herself. I had to listen. As I expected, it was even more enjoyable as an audiobook and the narration was very well done. Well worth a listen.
