About this listen

Joe R. Lansdale’s Ned the Seal Trilogy — now in audio for the first time. All three books collected in one wild, weird, and gloriously unhinged volume.

Saddle up your dirigible and prepare for mayhem. This is Joe R. Lansdale completely off the leash.

Part dime-store western, part pulp sci-fi fever dream, The Ned the Seal Trilogy careens through alternate histories and impossible realities with a cast that includes Buffalo Bill, Dracula, Jules Verne, a Japanese shogun with Frankenstein’s monster, and a telepathic seal with a taste for sardines and sarcasm.

In Zeppelins West, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show takes to the skies (literally) as a steampunk spectacle collides with monster myth and mad science. In Flaming London, Ned finds himself on the Island of Dr. Moreau (or “Momo”), battling beast-men and making uneasy alliances with literary legends. And in The Sky Done Ripped, all bets are off as Martians invade and reality itself begins to unravel. There’s only one hope: Mark Twain, Jules Verne, and a seal named Ned.

Hilarious, violent, tragic, and utterly gonzo, this trilogy is Lansdale at his most demented and delightful.
