About this listen

Insomnia is a collection of eight exciting short stories (plus one bonus story) that tackle several different genres including action, science-fiction, horror, noir, and thriller.

Written by best-selling author, Jeremy Robinson, these stories include all of the action, imagination, and twists that fans have come to expect, but they also contain experiments into subjects and voices not normally touched on in his novels.

Insomnia - In a world of super efficiency and equality, sleep is illegal and Feene keeps the masses going.

The Eater - Three children discover a writhing black puddle in the woods of New Hampshire.

Harden’s Tree - A group of teens visit a tree planted atop the ashes of a mass murderer from late 1800’s.

Star Crossed Killers - Two lovers, both deadly killers, compete for the same target.

Counting Sheep - A future terrorist gives an insomniac three minutes to fall asleep.

Hearing Aid - In the future, a deaf man is healed, but does he like what he hears?

Dark Seed of the Moon - Vampires live, and kill, in the eternal shadow of the moon’s polar crater.

From Above - In the future, a detective goes after terrorists who vaporized his city - and his arm - from space.

Bonus story:

Bought and Paid For - A brutal character sketch for Scott Sigler’s The Crypt.

Critic reviews

“Rocket-boosted action, brilliant speculation, and the recreation of a horror out of the mythologic past, all seamlessly blend into a rollercoaster ride of suspense and adventure.” (James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Eye of God)

“With Threshold Jeremy Robinson goes pedal to the metal into very dark territory. Fast-paced, action-packed and wonderfully creepy! Highly recommended!” (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin)

“If you like thrillers original, unpredictable and chock-full of action, you are going to love Jeremy Robinson...” (Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of Pirate Alley)

I love these types of short story books.

A mix of different styles of writing are usually shown off and this is no-exception. However, the best part about the book for me was the insight to the history and meaning behind the stories. The author, Jeremy Robinson, sets aside a few minutes for each story and explains his reason for writing the story and why. This alone adds to the stories for me, and something not many short story books provide.

There was a great mixture of stories and I think my favourite was Counting Sheep - it reminds me of a story once told by my teacher when I was young, but about education rather than sleep.

Then there is From Above. The attitudes of the characters were great. Having recently listened to Bobiverse, I could have really gotten into a huge novel like From Above. I really wish this one was longer.

Overall a great listen even though it’s less than 4 hours long, for short journeys in the car it’s really fun to listen to.

The stories left me longing for more...
