Recs if you like Children of Dune...

📍title inspired by @erintripsey's lists Audiobooks narrated by Brighton, England's Simon Vance! I'm a fan of his narration of Bram Stoker's Dracula and wanted to compile a list of more books narrated by him. He has a smooth English accent, lighter tone for feminine characters, and distinct variations with other UK/European accents.

Fun Fact: He's been an audiobook narrator since age 6, when he did a reading of Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne!

All excellent stories

This list features book covers illustrated/designed by Pennsylvania-based artist Jim Tierney. Tierney's illustrations feature sweeping textures, dramatic lighting, and bold, nostalgic text design, as you will definitely note while scrolling through this list. Please note that in some cases, his work is one of multiple versions of cover art for the same book, so it may appear as a different version here than the one he illustrated. In some cases I have avoided adding specific versions to curb confusion.
