We’ve all heard the debate over the scariest movies ever made. Hereditary. The Conjuring. The Host. But spooky season has us wondering about a different category: what’s the scariest audiobook you’ve ever listened to?

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty? Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky? Something that had you seriously reconsidering listening alone at night?

Tell us your pick for the scariest audiobook of all time in the comments. 👇

For some readers, the biggest benefit of audiobooks is access.

A recent Times piece follows an 11-year-old with dyslexia who had struggled to independently read books that matched her age and interests. Audiobooks changed that, giving her a way into longer stories, richer vocabulary, and books she actually wanted to spend time with.

Audiobooks can help readers stay connected to stories while other literacy skills are still developing, and make sure difficulty decoding text does not also mean missing out on the books everyone else is talking about.

Demand for dramatized audiobooks is growing fast. USA Today recently reported that interest in GraphicAudio titles nearly tripled between 2023 and 2025, as publishers continue investing in productions with larger casts, stronger sound design, and more cinematic storytelling.

This shift is interesting for the industry. For some listeners, narration alone is the draw. For others, a more immersive production adds something different to the experience.

Either way, the range of what listeners can choose from keeps widening, and we love seeing variety bring in more listeners.

The Witcher is getting a new way to listen.

The first full-cast edition, Crossroads of Ravens, is out now, with more titles in the series to follow. These new productions join the existing single-narrator editions performed by Peter Kenny, giving fans another way to experience the world of Geralt.

And honestly, we love having options! Some listeners want one narrator to carry the whole story, while others love hearing a full cast bring each character to life.

So, which version are you listening to first?

The View from Two Audie Winners!

Audie winner Kate McKinnon stopped by The View this week to talk with fellow Audie winner Whoopi Goldberg about The Jungle of Carabanana, the final book in McKinnon's series. The conversation soon turned to audiobooks, narration, and "reading 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 word."

We always love hearing people talk about the craft behind the mic, especially from an author and narrator whose first two books both took home Audies.

Congratulations to Kate on completing the series, and thank you to Whoopi for shining a light on audiobooks.

Audiobooks you can access through your shoes? That’s a new one.

Pan Macmillan, Spotify, and HYPHNT have teamed up on a pair of trainers with built-in technology that connects young readers directly to audiobooks with a tap of their phone.

Now, this isn't where we expected the industry to go, but as audiobooks continue to grow, so do the places people can discover them and the ways stories can become part of everyday life. And we’re very curious to see where audiobook discovery shows up next.

It's officially fall!

Cooler weather gives us plenty of excuses to spend a little more time with audiobooks. Our ideal fall listening schedule includes:

• Morning walks in crisp weather
• Apple picking and trips to the pumpkin patch
• Long scenic drives
• Curling up on a rainy afternoon
• Puzzling
• Knitting, crocheting, or embroidering
• Baking some very cinnamon-forward treats

What’s your favorite fall activity to pair with an audiobook?
