Hi everyone! Yes, it’s been another long time between blogging. My apologies, but I’m back bearing fun stuff. Audio lovers rejoice because HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE has been adapted as a Graphic Audio!
How is this different from the standard audio book? some of you might wonder.
Well, a standard audio book is a verbatim reading of the printed text by usually one narrator. A Graphic Audio edition is a full cast narration, meaning different voice actors for different characters, and it has music, sound effects, and other dramatization that harkens back to the bygone days of old-timey radio plays, except much cooler.
The Graphic Audio edition of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE releases on October 12th, so just in time for spooky season! Also, there’s a limited-time, special discount price of $15.39 if you preorder yours directly from Graphic Audio here.
Yes, this edition will eventually be available on all retailers, but that will come at a later date. Right now, you can only get yours from Graphic Audio, but it’s super easy, I promise.
Step 1: Create an account with Graphic Audio (you can take the shortcut and link it to your Amazon account)
Step 2: Purchase HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE
Step 3: Download the Access app on your device and look in the “Collection” section for your download. You’re ready to listen!
If you want to chose the zip download options, they give the user the ability to listen to the files on third party players or to back up the files on personal drives for collection purposes. Read more.
Yes, there will also be a CD version, available in mid November.
The audio sample for HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE should be up in the next couple days, so you can check out a clip of what it sounds like soon.
And ALSO soon, I’ll have a cover and preorder link for you for BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE, the second “Bones point of view” novel, releasing April 18th, 2023, so stay tuned for that, too.
Now, I’m going back to writing and watching horror movies. This time of year is my favorite because on so many channels, people are celebrating vampires, ghosts, witches, ghouls, zombies, and everything else that goes bump in the night. What’s not to love, right? Hope your October is spookily fantastic, too!

Carole says
Listening right now and it really brings the story to life. I love this so much I cannot wait for the rest to be this way! Thank you for doing the Graphic Audio!
Christine says
Will you be releasing all your books in the Cat and Bones series (including side books) on Graphic audio? Please please say yes!
Jeaniene says
That’s up to Graphic Audio. They choose the books they wants to dramatize. I hope they continue because I think the GA editions are so fun!
Megan says
I read all these books many years ago, then started working as a delivery driver and so I found the series again! I have listened to all the Night Huntress series in Audible and stumbled upon the GA versions!!!! 😱 They were AMAZING! The only one I didnt find was Up from the Grave which was disappointing. But I will be keeping an eye out for it! Thank you so much for your amazing series and all the spin offs dont disappoint! 🥰🥰🥰. Hopefully one day someone in Hollywood would find this series and make it into a movie or TV show, I would watch it over & over! Much love to you my favorite author!😍
Jeaniene says
Thank you so much, and I’m with you on the Graphic Audio versions being amazing!
ALICIA CRIDER says
I’m also a delivery driver and found the GA versions while looking for something to listen to!
Rebekah says
Loved this GA. I’ve listened to it multiple times. Are there any plans to do the rest of the series?
Jeaniene says
In fact, ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE is out this week in Graphic audio! Just did a post about it, with links, here: https://www.jeanienefrost.com/2023/01/excerpt-heads-up-and-graphic-audio-extravaganza/

Dawn says

I have purchased all of the first three Night Huntress books on Graphic Audio and pre-ordered the fourth. Readers, audiobook lovers go out and buy them. Right now! Go ahead I will wait… seriously do it. They could not have cast better for Bones most assuredly. His voice gives me the shivers. Cat’s voice is great too. They did a great job with Ian Spade, and Menchares as well. For all of you skeptics still reading this it’s more than just voices they have background noise and music just like they say a movie in your mind. You will not be disappointed I sure wasn’t. I borrowed Halfway to the Grave on hoopla and had a craving for more. I went and bought everything the had in the series. I’m frothing at the mouth to have the rest of them as well!! I have loved this series since I turned the first page 15 years ago. This only made me love it more. I promise no buyers remorse!
Jeaniene says
Lol, the graphic audio company should make you their publicist! So glad you loved them!
Shan says
Hello. Are the graphic audio versions the same content as the regular audiobooks or were some parts shortened? Asking because I realized the dramatized versions have shorter listening time than the regular audiobooks.
Shan says
Wanted to add that I listened on Spotify.
Jeaniene says
Some parts of the Graphic Audios are shortened. Take, for instance, the sex scenes. They’re not acted out in their entirety with full casts and sound effects, although that would be kinda hilarious, in my opinion :).
ALICIA CRIDER says
Just listened to the dramatized version of HTTG. I read this years ago. Listening to it with a full cast was a delight. Can’t wait to listen to the rest!!
Nicole Coleman says
