THREE WRECKED MEN by Lysa Williams (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

This latest plunge into the psyche of the lone American male by author Lysa Williams brings us three men struggling in the war against dysfunction. A psychic hooker, a narcoleptic painter, and a prep-school boy searching for moments of beauty on the New York City subway all struggle to live their lives on the edge.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by three of Blackstone Audio’s award-winning narrators: Dion Graham, Gerard Doyle, and Hillary Huber. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

Williams guides us in and out of these shadowy landscapes with gripping reality, shining a searchlight in the hidden corners.
