An amazing collection of horror stories to cozy up with this Halloween season! Gory, deep, and altogether creepy, this book was amazing from start to finish and the voice acting was to die for.

A deep dark dive into the broken psyche and lives of some of the inhabitants of The Eighth Tower. Audio books are fun. I’m listening. I think I chose to listen. I did chose to listen. Why did I think listening to this audio book would be a good idea? Will I survive the experience, the horror? Well I suppose …. because I’ve enjoyed listening to all the previous books in the series. Oh no, I’ve just realised The Eighth Tower has its hooks in me!! Don’t worry for me, I’ve reached the end for now, and mouth is stretched in a smile. What about you now? Will you listen too? Thank you to Doom Fiction and NetGalley for the audio ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

I received the audiobook version of this story via NetGalley, so thank you for that

- Connor Brannigan did a great job narrating as always -

This story was really great. Well written and not too short or too long.

it’s hard for me to decide if this one or “Holus Bolus” was my favorite from the series.

I particularly enjoyed the chapters “The Burden of Lunar Ticking” and “Cyber Solaris”

I do feel like I’m left with many questions about the series.

We made it to the end, the Eighth Block Tower series concludes here with twelve stories. I loved this series so much. It served as a sort of lorebook epic as a whole, and as some of Pauley’s best. I immediately began a re read of the series but more than that, I believe I’ll be re reading all of Pauley’s work very soon. As always, my favorite thing is how rewarding it is returning to WPIII stories, they connect on an INSANE level while also standing alone as individual tales. You could read the final book first if you wanted!

I can’t believe this is the last book of the Bedlam Bible series. Twelve Residents Dreaming is made up of 12 stories that Anacoy Marlin experiences when he finds 12 skulls. As he puts his fingers in the eye sockets of each one he can see something that person experienced. He found them in the 8th Block Tower by floating there on a raft in the ocean. Say what?! How did the stowed get there? Where did everybody go? Read the book and find out. I have thoroughly enjoyed these [Psychedelic Stories]. This may be the last book of the Bedlam Bible but it’s not the end of the crazy wild worlds created by William Pauley III. Hallelujah!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Doom Fiction Audio for the audiobook. The narrator Connor Brannigan is top notch again. My views are my own and voluntarily given.

<i>“I’m swollen and electric. Life is good.”</i>

First off, I dig the Willem Dafoe in Lighthouse dude on the cover. That’s right. I nailed it. Thats Willem for f’n sure.

Maybe.

I am a huge fan of WPIII’s Bedlam Bible series. The mythos and stories of the Eighth Block Tower are some of the best around and I will miss them since TRD is the final installment. It was a mighty fine ride though. Mighty fine, indeed.

12 skulls. 12 stories. And more than a few of our old friends and plenty of the Eighth Block madness to go around. A fitting conclusion to a fantastic series.

4.5 Stars rounded up to 5 based on the salt in the hallways and the radiation oozing from Connor Brannigan's kick ass narration…and the Bedlam Bible series on the whole. So damn good.

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of Twelve Residents Dreaming by William Pauley III.

First of all, I was so hyped to see the rest of the Bedlam Bible on NetGalley. I read and reviewed The Ballad of Old Joe Booth a couple of months ago and I loved it, weird, wonderful, unique.

Twelve Residents Dreaming was more of the same weird and wonderful on a f'ed up level that had me pulling all sorts of faces. I loved it.

Also, I will put this on every Bedlam Bible audiobook review: THE NARRATOR IS NEXT LEVEL. I thought there were multiple narrators, and to realise it was just one guy- Connor Brannigan- had me saying slay honestly. His narration was so bloody good, and I can't wait to listen to him narrate the rest of the series.

I'm reading the Bedlam Bible all out of order, and I'm not sure if that matters or not, but I am loving the worlds created by WPIII. What a unique and creative writer with an wonderfully messed up perspective.

Twelve Residents Dreaming marks the captivating conclusion to the Bedlam Bible series, a book I've eagerly awaited. Comprising 12 intriguing short stories, this concept immediately piqued my interest. The author deserves commendation for masterfully crafting characters who possess remarkable depth despite the brevity of each tale, with each character feeling distinct and well-developed.

I consistently found myself in awe of the author's imaginative ideas and the unexpected narrative directions taken. The audiobook narration remains exceptional throughout.
While I thoroughly enjoyed most of the stories, I must admit that a few felt like a fever dreams, occasionally causing me to lose focus. The extended length of this installment compared to its predecessors may have contributed to this.

In summary, Twelve Residents Dreaming maintains the series' signature strangeness, delivering a satisfying conclusion.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Twelve Residents Dreaming is the seventh book in The Bedlam Bible series. You do not need to read the others to enjoy this one but I definitely recommend you do.

I have said this before and I will continue to say this, I don’t want to know what is in William Pauley III’s mind. The ideas he comes up with are sick, gory, insane, scary, beautiful, basically any adjective you want to choose can work and I love every second of it. Then when you have all of these thoughts narrated by Connor Brannigan, you simply get perfection.

This was a longer book than the other entries in the series but it was filled with 12 short stories. Each story was intriguing, some were better than others but even the ones I liked the least, I still loved.

Pauley has a talent for world-building and character design like no other. He builds a scene and multiple characters in such a short time. He develops and flushes out characters in a 30-minute short story better than some authors do in a 12-hour novel. Every time he does this I am amazed all over again. In this story he didn’t just do this once or twice, he did it every time.

The Bedlam Bible is a terrific series for fans of horror and anyone who can appreciate fantastic writing. Make sure you check out Twelve Residents Dreaming.
