Audio book "The Wolfen" by Whitley Strieber Read by Roddy McDowall 1990 (Abridged)
Ойын-сауық
In an atmosphere of sheer unbridled terror, two police officers stalk and are stalked by unnamed enemies---enemies too ugly and savage to be human, too clever and deliberate to be animal.
The Wolfen: Shrouded in darkness and sheltered in urban wreckage , they have preyed upon man for centuries , evolving into an ever more sophisticated, cunning race. Only Homicide Detectives Becky Neff and George Wilson are convinced of the existence of the Wolfen. Their knowledge, instinctive, visceral, and horrifying beyond comprehension, binds them together as they pursue a relentless quest to destroy this savage, faceless evil.

The majority of these audiobooks, which were converted from audio cassette tapes into digital Mp3 files are over 30 years old. Some of the cassette tapes had to be taken apart and spliced back together, which can be a very delicate procedure. Just a little something I thought I would do so I could salvage these particular works and share these with others before the tapes and tape players deteriorated completely and before the world of analog recording becomes completely obsolete. Most are not true books because they are abridgements. When I first started collecting these audiobooks, unabridged books on tape were either very rare or extremely costly. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit.

Great story. Roddy McDowall's narration takes the story to next level creepy. Yikes !!!! I remember watching the 1981 movie starring Albert Finney. Pretty good movie. 👍👍👍🐺🐺🐺🐺

Dustin Hoffman wanted the starring role..no joke
It's not a book I would normally listen to but couldn't resist hearing Roddy McDowall narrate. Thank you for the upload.
Excellent story, brilliantly narrated. Thank you for posting!!!
I picked up the book on a supermarket rack when I was 16. I think I read it in one sitting. It made quite an impression. I'm looking forward to hearing it performed by "Cornelius/Galen" himself!
Echo the earlier comments. Fantastic audiobook! The Albert Finney movie is a sleeper classic, but I like the book better. Roddy McDowell's performance is great. Thanks for uploading!

The movie based on the book hardly used any of it.
So glad I found this channel, the efforts are greatly appreciated!
Love roddy and this book …thank you ♥️♥️
Omg, the voice is unmistakable, within the first ten seconds I was thinking. I know that voice, and another ten minutes and I had it, the unique and unmistakable Roddy McDowell! What a gifted man he was, put together with this extraordinary book and you have a real treasure!
Man I enjoyed this. Roddy McDowell made it Real. Thank y’all so much. Pamela Self

@@randallbesch2424 True. Greg Hines was good in it though. And Albert Finney was always worth a watch. Cheers
Your work and effort are greatly appreciated!
I've always liked McDowell's voice. He was great in the very first Planet of the Apes.
Great story, I’d like to hear a sequel about the war between men and wolfen kind, that would be really cool 👍🏾

I read this while staying in NYC back in '99. One of the few books that actually creeped me out while reading.
Remarkably good audio for to be recovered from an old cassette :-)
i want a better Wolfen movie! Much closer to the description of the animals.
I would know that voice anywhere. Perter Vincent'The great vampire killer.
I remember reading this decades ago. Also a film with Albert Finney I believe was decent.

Passible film not much related to the book. No wolfen effects just wolves.
After listening to "Boy's Life", I checked out your channel and I subscribed! I listened to "The Wolfen" immediately. I love Roddy McDowall. Your channel is fantastic! Thank you for doing this!!! Edit: After a couple of interruptions, I got through the story. Wonderfully creepy!!
Awesome! It is great to hear the voice of Roddy McDowall!!😊
My first scary movie..... I was thinking about it the other day and there it is in my feed 😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!! I have been looking for this for such a long time!
Brilliant. Thaks for the upload
Roddy McDowall. Wow, can't believe it!
Excellent book...shame the film does match
Had a great time with this. 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
What a great listening, tysm for posting this fun spooky audiobook! Could you post an audiobook for Justin Cronin's The Passage trilogy series (The Passage, The Twelve, and The City of Mirrors) someday as they got a cool creative take on mythical beings too, in that case vamps?
Great book from my youth unfortunately the movie failed to capture the essence of the novel not easy to translate to the screen
Brilliant sorry thanks for the upload.
Awesome story. I really appreciate you putting in the work to make it possible. P.S. was that really Roddy McDowalls voice?

There was also a book about vampire myths by same author called “The Hunger”. Both books are great. The movies not so much.
