Mark Douglas Nelson’s Home Studio
Audiobook narrator Mark Douglas Nelson sent in a photo of his recording studio. Here’s how he describes it:
You can’t see the electronics behind the music stand, but there’s an Apogee Duet interface and PreSonus BlueTube preamp back there. Until very recently I printed out all my copy, but now I’ve been experimenting with reading off an iPad (a used, first-generation model I got on discount). The mic’s an MXL VO-1A “Harlan Hogan”. The laptop is a MacBook Pro with an aftermarket SSD. The walls are double-wall sheetrock with “Green Glue” soundproofing gunk in-between.
His latest narration is a Bill Pronzini short story collection that’s just gone up on Audible.com, it’s entitled Night Freight.

Red Nails by Robert E. Howard – an UNABRIDGED audiobook as a YouTube video
Disappointed with the latest Conan movie? Yeah me too.
Here’s my response.
I’ve combined Gregg Margarite‘s narration of Robert E. Howard’s Red Nails with the original illustrations from its serialization in Weird Tales. It’s CONAN, it’s awesome storytelling, and it’s available in HD!
