Mythos, written by Stephen Fry and published as a Sunday Times and Audible best selling, invites readers to enter another world filled with magic, mayhem, monsters, and insane gods.
Learn more about the beautiful retellings of some of the most famous myths and legends ever told by Stephen Fry….
Nobody loves and fights, desires and deceives, as audaciously or as beautifully as the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology.
In the vivid recounting that Stephen Fry provides, we watch in astonishment as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the huge head of Zeus, and we accompany doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely land of the Underworld. Both of these events take place in the story.
When Pandora opens her jar of horrible torments, you should feel a chill down your spine.
Enjoy the story as it unfolds of the fabled love affair that took place between Eros and Psyche.
Mythos is a collection of amazing myths retold for our current age by Stephen Fry himself. The stories are presented in all of their dazzling and profoundly human relevance.
If the allure of Greek mythology has you captivated, you’re going to adore Fry’s follow-up books, Heroes and Troy, which are filled with stories of mortals and monsters, quests and adventures.

3/ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Book 4
“‘There will be three assignments, spread over the school year, and they will test the champions in a variety of different ways…their magical prowess, their boldness, their abilities of deduction, and, of course, their capacity to cope with danger.'”
Hogwarts is going to be the location of the Triwizard Tournament this year. Even though entry is restricted to wizards who have reached the age of seventeen, Harry cannot stop himself from daydreaming that he will triumph in the competition. Then, on Hallowe’en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its decision, Harry is astounded to discover that his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out of those who enter their names into the cup. With the assistance of his best friends Ron and Hermione, Harry could just make it through the ordeal alive, despite the fact that he will have to complete tasks that are physically impossible to complete, as well as battle dragons and evil wizards.

4/ Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3
“”Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, an urgent means of transportation for any stranded witches or wizards. Simply extend your wand hand, stand on the board, and tell us where you would like to travel, and we will take you there.”
When the Knight Bus rips through the night and screeches to a halt in front of Harry Potter, it marks the beginning of yet another extraordinary year for Harry Potter at Hogwarts. Sirius Black, an exiled mass murderer who was a disciple of Lord Voldemort, is on the run, and there are rumours that he is going to go for Harry Potter. Professor Trelawney reads an omen of doom in Harry Potter’s tea leaves at the very first Divination lesson he has ever taught…. But the Dementors that patrol the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss, are possibly the most horrifying of them….

5/ The Fellowship of the Ring: The Lord of the Rings, Book 1
Andy Serkis, who has won multiple awards for his work as an actor, director, and novelist, narrates the brand-new, unabridged audiobook version of The Fellowship of the Ring, which is the first section of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings.
A young hobbit in a quiet village in the Shire is given the responsibility of carrying out a massive undertaking. It is imperative that he undertake the hazardous trek across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, where he will be tasked with destroying the Ruling Ring of Power. This ring is the only thing that stands in the way of the Dark Lord Sauron’s tyrannical rule.
This is how the well-known classic narrative of adventure written by J. R. R. Tolkien, which carries on in The Two Towers and The Return of the King, gets started. Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
6/ Dune – Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
This is the book that will always be remembered as an example of how far the human imagination can take us. Dune is a science fiction novel that takes place on the planet Arrakis and tells the story of a young child named Paul Atreides and his journey to become the enigmatic Maud’dib. He would not only exact revenge for the treacherous conspiracy that had been hatched against his noble family, but he would also bring about the fulfilment of humanity’s oldest and most elusive desire.
Dune was the recipient of the first Nebula Award, was a co-winner of the Hugo Award, and served as the foundation for what is unquestionably the most epic work of science fiction ever written. It was a remarkable blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics.
Although the passing of Frank Herbert in 1986 was a terrible tragedy, the astonishing legacy that he left behind with his visionary fiction will continue on in perpetuity.
7 / The Sandman – Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
The Sandman’s dark, literary world of fantasy and horror helped create a global cultural phenomenon, and the Los Angeles Times Magazine called it “the greatest epic in the history of comic books.” The Sandman was hailed as “the greatest epic in the history of comic books” by the Los Angeles Times Magazine. In what has been a long time coming, Audible and DC deliver the very first audio production of the series that has been a best-seller on the New York Times and was penned by the esteemed storyteller Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-executive producer).
This first episode of a multi-part original audio series will transport you to a world that re-writes the rules of audio entertainment in the same way that The Sandman initially re-defined the graphic novel. Adapted and directed by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk Maggs, and performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy (It, Parts One and Two, X-Men: First Class, Split) in the title role, this
When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus, the immortal monarch of dreams, storytelling, and the imagination, is dragged from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a sinister cult, he is forced to suffer for many years before he is eventually able to break free. After he has been set free, he has the responsibility of retrieving the three “tools” that will allow him to regain his power and assist him in reestablishing his kingdom, which has suffered as a result of his absence.
As the story’s multiple strands unfold, The Sandman travels to Hell to face Lucifer (played by Michael Sheen), pursues rogue nightmares that have escaped his realm, and interacts with a wide variety of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history. These characters include Arkham Asylum inmates, Doctor Destiny, the muse Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare (played by Arthur Darvill), and many
This opus was translated into a sound experience worthy of its reputation by a formidable supporting ensemble that included Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, and Andy Serkis, amongst others. The experience was worthy of its heritage. Their performance is going to be accompanied with a cinematic soundscape that has never been done before, and it will feature an unique musical composition composed by James Hannigan, who won the British Academy Award.
Fans will especially like a new addition to the audio adaption, which is that Neil Gaiman himself will be providing the narration for it. Listeners should follow him as he guides them through a twisting route filled with myths, imagination, and, frequently, fear. Even in your most vivid imagination, you’ve never encountered anything quite like this before.
8/ Dreadgod: Cradle, Book 11 – Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
Lindon is now a target as a result of the conflict that took place in the sky.
The Monarchs view him as a threat, one of the most precious facilities in the world was bequeathed to him, and his most dependable ally has been eliminated from the equation. It was possible that his adversaries would plot their attack on him at any moment.
If not for the Dreadgods, this wouldn’t have happened.
As a result of all four being empowered and released, they are currently rampaging throughout Cradle; hence, past and fresh grudges need to be put aside. The Monarchs require the assistance of every skilled combatant available in order to defend their kingdom.
And Lindon is going to require some time.
While he is engaged in combat, he sends his allies away to practise. If they wish to fight alongside him against the kings and queens of Cradle, they are going to have to make impossible amounts of progress very quickly.
Together, they will need to possess power that can compete with that of a Dreadgod.
9 / The Two Towers: The Lord of the Rings, Book 2
This brand-new, unabridged audiobook of The Two Towers is the second section of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Andy Serkis, an actor, director, and novelist who has won multiple awards, including a BAFTA, reads the epic tale The Lord of the Rings written by R. R. Tolkien.
The corporation that served the Ring has been shattered into pieces. Frodo and Sam will continue their trek alone down the great River Anduin; that is, they will continue their journey alone with the exception of a mysterious presence who creeps after them wherever they go.
This is a continuation of the time-honored story that was introduced in The Fellowship of the Ring and reaches its mind-blowing culmination in The Return of the King.
10 / The Sandman: Act II Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
Please be advised that this material is not intended for children. Only those over the age of 13 should watch it. This audio adaption, like like the original graphic books, features strong sexual content and themes, as well as obscene language, violent violence, and other graphic depictions of violence. It is best to exercise discretion.
The Sandman: Act II is the continuation of the critically acclaimed audio dramatisation of “the greatest epic in the history of comic books,” and it invites listeners back into the Dreaming. This sequel to the audio book that debuted at number one on the New York Times best sellers list welcomes back James McAvoy to reprise his role as Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams. Get lost in another ground-breaking, immersive drama adapted and directed by the award-winning audio master Dirk Maggs, and lose yourself in a world of myths, imagination, and terror based on the best-selling DC comic books and graphic novels written by Neil Gaiman (who also returns as the Narrator).
The dark fantasy picks back up in Act II, which is extremely jam-packed with action, and the Sandman’s scope widens to include the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and other time periods and locations. It features a large cast of voice actors, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, in addition to the fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter, who lend their voices to a wide variety of new and returning characters. Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
Just try to keep your eyes closed and listen carefully while the next chapter of the greatest epic unfolds.
Part two of the audiobook’s narrative The Sandman is an adaptation of the comic book series that collects volumes four (Season of Mists) and five (A Game of You) in its entirety, as well as the majority of volume six (Fables & Reflections).
11 / The Return of the King: The Lord of the Rings, Book 3
Andy Serkis, who has won a BAFTA, is an actor, director, and novelist. He reads this brand-new unabridged audiobook of The Return of the King, which is the third and final section of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings.
As the dark shadow cast by the Dark Lord continues to extend more, his armies are beginning to gather. In order to win the struggle against the Dark, the races of men, dwarves, elves, and Ents join forces. During this time, Frodo and Sam are heroically making their way further into Mordor on their quest to destroy the One Ring.
This is the heartbreaking climax to J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic story of adventure, which was first introduced in “The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Two Towers.”
12 / He Who Fights with Monsters, Book 6 –
Instead of listening to Jason Asano’s warnings and working to save the planet, the people who should be doing so instead opt to loot the house as it burns down around them. Even though he does not have the strength to save the world on his alone, he has made up his mind to do it regardless, regardless of how impossible it may be.
In this context, doing the impossible is gaining a power that no mortal being should ever get close to. It is a decision that cannot be reversed, and it represents Jason’s first step into a wider universe than he is prepared to handle at this time.
Because he holds the fate of not one but two universes in his hands, Jason must determine for himself what it means to call a place “home.”
13 / Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
This fascinating cosmic adventure is a much-loved science-fiction classic, and it has a lot going for it, including narration by British comedian Stephen Fry. The story takes place in space. This is the first of five audiobooks that comprise the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, and Douglas Adams demonstrates his abilities to create an entirely new world in it. It should come as no surprise that this book is a favourite of so many people given how hilariously it is written, how extraordinary the characters are, and how extremely creative the plot is.
On a random Thursday about lunchtime, the planet Earth is suddenly destroyed so that a new hyperspace bypass can be constructed. This seemed to be more than Arthur Dent can handle at this point, despite the fact that his house was just wrecked that morning. The weekend, however, has only just begun, and the Galaxy is an extremely bizarre and bewildering place to be in right now.
14 / A Game of Thrones: Book 1 of A Song of Ice and Fire
One of the Top 25 Best Audiobooks, according to The Times.
The internationally acclaimed author George R. R. Martin’s work A Song of Ice and Fire served as inspiration for the critically acclaimed television show A Game of Thrones, which airs on HBO. Martin’s series is often regarded as the best fantasy epic written in the modern era. The first book in the series is titled A Game of Thrones and is the first volume.
Summers span decades. It’s possible winter will go on forever. And with that, the battle for the Iron Throne has officially begun.
It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts, and intrigues, to the vast and savage eastern lands, all the way up to the north, where a wall of ice 800 feet tall protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. In the south, it will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts, and intrigues in the east. Everyone from kings and queens to renegades and knights, as well as liars, lords, and honest men, will participate in the Game of Thrones.Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
15 / Equal Rites: Discworld, Book 3
Indira Varma provides the narration for the audiobook version of Equal Rites (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). Actor Bill Nighy, winner of BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for his roles in “Love Actually” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” as well as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” reads the footnotes, and actor Peter Serafinowicz, star of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” and “Shaun of the Dead,” provides the voice of “Death.” Featuring a brand new theme song by James Hannigan, who also composed it.
Someone once said, “They say that a little knowledge is a hazardous thing, but it is not one half as awful as a lot of ignorance,” and I completely agree with them.
It is common knowledge that there is no such thing as a woman who possesses magical abilities. Therefore, when the wizard Drum Billet mistakenly hands on his staff of power to a girl named Eskarina (or Esk for short), the misogynistic world of wizardry wants nothing to do with her. Esk is the eighth daughter of an eighth son.
Granny Weatherwax, the most well-known witch in the Discworld, has, thankfully, had a lot of practise challenging the established order of things. Esk manages to get the friendship of apprentice wizard Simon after gaining Granny’s assistance in infiltrating the mystical Unseen University.
However, power can be unpredictable, and these brilliant young students quickly find themselves in an entirely new degree of difficulty. The struggle between the sexes has officially begun…
Even though Equal Rites is the first book in the Witches series, the Discworld novels can be listened to in any order you like.
The Colour of Magic, the first instalment in the Discworld series, was released to the public for the very first time in the year 1983. It’s possible that this is reflected in some aspect of the Discworld universe.Best Selling Audible Books Science Fiction
16 / The Light Fantastic: Discworld, Book 2
Colin Morgan is the narrator of the audiobook version of The Light Fantastic (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). Actor Bill Nighy, winner of BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for his roles in “Love Actually” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” as well as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” reads the footnotes, and actor Peter Serafinowicz, star of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” and “Shaun of the Dead,” provides the voice of “Death.” Featuring a brand new theme song by James Hannigan, who also composed it.
“Darkness is not the opposite of light; rather, it is merely the absence of light.” “What was emanating from the book was the light that sits on the far side of darkness, the light fantastic.”
The Discworld is in jeopardy because it is speeding towards a collision that appears to be unavoidable with a wicked red star, and its magic is waning. It requires a hero to save the day, and soon.
Rincewind is an incompetent and cowardly wizard who is still healing from the traumatic experience of falling off the edge of the world. He is not what it needs at this time. Or Twoflower, the well-intentioned traveller whose baggage had its own independent head and legs.
Which is unfortunate, because that’s the only thing that exists….
You are not need to listen to the Discworld novels in any particular order; nonetheless, The Light Fantastic is the second book in the Wizards series. The Colour of Magic, the first instalment in the Discworld series, was released to the public in 1983. It’s possible that this is reflected in some aspect of the Discworld universe.
17 / The Hobbit
This brand-new, unabridged audiobook of J.R.R. Tolkien’s cherished The Hobbit will be released to listeners globally in September of this year. The audiobook will be read by Andy Serkis, who has won a BAFTA award for his work as an actor, director, and author.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who lives a contented and unadventurous life. He rarely goes anywhere beyond the pantry of his hobbit hole in Bag End. But his happiness is shattered when the wizard Gandalf and a group of thirteen dwarves show up at his door one day to take him on a quest that goes “there and back again.” They have a plan to steal the wealth that is stored in the lair of Smaug the Magnificent, a dragon who is both big and extremely dangerous….
Since its initial publication in 1937, “The Hobbit,” which serves as a prologue to “The Lord of the Rings,” has sold many millions of copies, solidifying its position as one of the most significant books published during the 20th century.
18 / Heroes: Mortals and Monsters, Quests and Adventures
Heroes, written by Stephen Fry, is a Sunday Times best seller, and it is given to you by Penguin. Step into this terrifying and wonderful universe.
The following audiobooks have been considered for the Specsavers Audiobook Award for 2018.
Just picture yourself in this situation: you’re wearing sandals, you’re holding a sword, and the blazing sun is hammering down on your helmet. Heroes, written by Stephen Fry, is currently the number one best seller in the Sunday Times.
Greek heroes are some of the only mere mortals who have ever gone on such daring and heart-stirring adventures, conquered a plethora of terrifying hazards, or outwitted plotting vindictive gods nearly as stylishly and triumphantly as they have.
Stephen Fry does an outstanding job of retelling these ageless tales, which are known for their dramatic qualities as well as their comedic and tragic elements.
Participate in Jason’s search for the Golden Fleece while he is aboard the Argo. Watch as Atalanta, who was brought up by bears as a child, outruns any man before falling for the deception of eating golden apples. Watch as the cunning Oedipus figures out the solution to the riddle of the Sphinx, and learn how Bellerophon manages to snag the winged horse Pegasus to assist him in slaying the monster Chimera.
Heroes is the narrative of what we mortals are truly capable of, both at our worst and our very finest. It is filled with nail-biting chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices.
19 / Project Hail Mary
The Audie Award for Best Audiobook of the Year (2022) was given to the author.
Currently the best-selling audiobook on both Audible and the New York Times
In this spectacular new science-based thriller from the author of The Martian, who is the number one best-selling novelist in the history of the New York Times, a lone astronaut must save the earth from calamity.
Ryland Grace is the last person left alive on a desperate, last-chance quest, and if he fails, the end will come not only for humanity but also for the planet itself.
Aside from the fact that he is unaware of that right now. He can’t even recall his own name, much less the specifics of his task or how to perform it. He is completely at a loss.
The only thing he is aware of is the fact that he has been sleeping for a very, very long time. And when he finally came to, he discovered that he was hundreds of thousands of kilometres away from home, with nothing but two dead bodies for companionship.
After the deaths of his crewmates and the gradual recovery of his memories, he comes to the realisation that he is now faced with an impossible mission. It is up to him, stranded all by himself on this itty-bitty ship that has been pieced together by every government and space agency on the globe and flung into the depths of space, to vanquish a threat to our species that is on the verge of annihilation.
And because of a supporter he did not anticipate having, he now has a possibility of succeeding.
Project Hail Mary is a story that rivals The Martian in terms of discovery, speculation, and survival, while simultaneously taking us to places that The Martian could have never imagined going. Part scientific mystery and part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival.
20 / The Handmaid’s Tale
At the British Book Awards in 2020, the audiobook in question was one of the finalists for “Audiobook of the Year.”
The New York Festival Radio Awards in 2020 deemed this audiobook to be the Best Fiction Audiobook.
Read by Elisabeth Moss, who stars in the critically acclaimed television series on Channel 4.Take a trip to the place where it all started by reading the dystopian novel that inspired the Emmy-winning TV series.
I am a supporter of the resistance because I am of the opinion that there cannot be light without shadow, or more accurately, that there cannot be shadow unless there is also light.
The Republic of Gilead is a religious totalitarian state located in what was formerly known as the United States. Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. Her allocated name, Offred, which means ‘of Fred,’ reflects the fact that she is to serve in the home of The Commander, Fred Waterford. She serves no purpose other than to reproduce. If Offred does not comply with the government’s demand that she perform sexual labour in order to help repopulate the earth, she will be executed by hanging. However, even in the most oppressive states, hope and desire are impossible to completely extinguish. Offred must traverse the terrible terrain of torture and persecution in the current day while at the same time remembering her life before the revolution in flashbacks. Her destiny is also in the hands of two men, and either one of them could decide her fate.
This eerie outlook on the future, which Margaret Atwood has developed and brought to life with such skill, places her at the forefront of the dystopian fiction genre.
