About this listen

Around midnight, under a lonely streetlamp in a provincial town in Japan, lies a white woman, a blonde, alone, robbed of all four limbs yet undead. Indeed, a rumor's been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater, of all places.

Koyomi Araragi, who prefers to avoid having friends because they'd lower his "intensity as a human", is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon, a concept "dated twice over", beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals.

Always disarmingly candid, often hilariously playful, and sometimes devastatingly moving, KIZUMONOGATARI: Wound Tale is the perfect gateway into the world of author NISIOISIN, the best-selling young novelist in Japan today. The prequel to BAKEMONOGATARI ("Monster Tale"), this is where the legendary MONOGATARI series, whose anime adaptations have enjoyed international popularity and critical acclaim, begins.

this being the first audio book I've ever listened to, I loved it a lot. the music is subtle enough to enhance the story and not override it and the voice actors are really expressive and impressive.
took a star off because episode has the deepest voice when in the anime he's a little twink and it makes me really sad

beautiful voices and wonderful immersion

I loved it! Got though the entire book within 3 day. Really wish that they would make audiobooks for the rest of the series also.

AWESOME
