About this listen

The New York Times best-selling author continues his colonial-era thriller series with eight tales of mystery, adventure, and supernatural suspense.

From his first appearance in Speaks the Nightbird to his latest adventure in The King of Shadows, Matthew Corbett has faced enemies of all kinds, from serial killers to sorcerers. Now author Robert McCammon presents eight gripping stories featuring the professional problem solver and his associates that take place between the popular novels.

Seven Shades of Evil includes four original stories, including “Wandering Mary”, and four additional tales that previously appeared in limited form and are no longer available elsewhere. Ranging from twisting murder plots to ominous portents of the paranormal, these stories are an intriguing blend of everything that has drawn audiences to the Matthew Corbett series for more than twenty years.

This volume includes:

  • “The Four Lamplighters”
  • “Night Ride”
  • “The House at the Edge of the World”
  • “The Scorpion’s Eye”
  • “Skeleton Crew”
  • “The Pale Pipe Smoker”

Not what I was expecting but…

I’ve enjoyed every Matthew Corbett audio book since stumbling over ‘Speaks The Nightbird’. I recently listened to ‘The King of Shadows’ and was expecting this to be the next in the series. I was wrong!

It’s a collection of short stories but each one is extremely well written and superbly narrated by Edoardo Ballerini who, for me, has the perfect voice for the series. I thoroughly recommend those books.

Confusing and disjointed

I have all ten of the matthew corbet books and have enjoyed them in order this one however seems a parody with the silly reference to the beatles and as i near the end of the series i cant help seeing the similarity to the outlander stories this volume seems superfluous and confusing i hope leviathan gets back on track

Good short stories, not the continuation I was hoping for.

Nice to re-acquaint with with world of Matthew Corbett, a little disappointing that it wasn't a continuation of the main storyline.

Disappointed

Disappointed to find this wasn’t the next chapter in the series but a series of short ‘filler stories’. Struggled to get into it though it does get better towards the end.
