挖坑:Top 10 Best Fantasy Audiobooks
基本上,全尼玛是坑。。。我个人会不定期更新免费下载地址,个别书可能找不到,我也就不找了,有热心朋友愿意传就传吧,我近期会更新两个单子,一个是这个10大最佳,另一个是所谓的“最佳奇幻有声书”,这个单子包含的不止十大,这个帖的排序主要来自国外的一个幻想文学发烧友网站,我就不翻译了,有能力的自己看看吧
排序的主要依据是两点:书籍的内容质量和朗读者的功底,两者缺一不可,因此有些书没列上来,如地海传说(书写的很好,朗读的太差)
我个人比较认同这个排序,仅供参考
英文难度:个别难度比较大,不建议初学者上手,如果你已经听完了哈利波特系列,建议你可以从King Killer系列开始,也就是去年红遍一时的《风之名》,这本书是近年来罕见的大作,已出版即位列史上最伟大奇幻榜单,获奖无数,而且是写青年人自己的生活,语言相比冰火这样的,简易了不少,听完读完这本,可以试试其它的——我没全听完,自己也在努力补课中
This list was a challenging one to create because the best fantasy audio books combine the quality of the story WITH the quality of the narrator. If the book is great but the narrator sounds like a toad, the whole audio experience isn’t quite the same. So keep in mind that the quality of the narrator is JUST as important as the quality of the story when taking this list into account! There’s also a new kind of audiobook called GraphicAudio(graphicaudio.net). These audiobooks are basically souped up features with sound effects added in, different characters having different voice actors (male and females). Pretty much as close as you can get to making an audiobook experience into a visual one. I generally enjoy Graphic Audiobooks over regular ones, though you do miss out on some of the outstanding voice actors who present some of the book recommendations I give below.
Best Fantasy Audio Books
1. Game of Thrones (George Martin)
An amazing book, the start of the Song of Ice and Fire series, and a fantastic narrator that brings the story to life. And who to narrate the fantasy version of The War of the Roses other than a Brit!
Roy Dotrice the narrator does a resounding job bringing this series to brutal life. I have in fact listened to this entire series on audiobook which has done much to bring new life to the series. A fantastic fantasy tale with a superlative narrator make this my top pick. You can find the entire Song of Ice and Fire bundled audiobook series here. Apparently, there were two other narrators who narrated a few of the books (John Lee and Roy Avers?), but seems the publisher ended getting Dotrice to re-narrate them to provide continuity to the audiobook versions)
由著名老绅士Roy Dotrice朗读

请用百度云管家下载,不要再问下载打不开或者文件错误的问题
第四本加了一个John Lee朗读版本,个人感觉一般,不是特别好,仅仅附上罢了
2. The Way of Kings (Brandon Sanderson)
A rich fantasy tale with the perfect narrator voice. The narrator’s deep, booming voice really adds a fourth dimension to the tale. Hands down, my favorite fantasy audiobook narrator, bar none. Nice use of both male and female narrators for the gender roles. The audio book gets bonus points for that (face it, no matter how good a male narrator is, it’s just not the same when they are narrating a female lead).
While the book starts off slow and take hundreds of pages to build up to the action, be prepared for a roller coaster ride as you approach the end. The Way of Kings is really what epic fantasy should be and there is NO better author to bring the character of Kaladin to life — that deep booming voice IS Kaladin (the lead character) himself. Michael Kramer is probably who I consider the best narrator for those fantasy books with strong, masculine protagonists — that oh-so-deep raspy voice just fits the role.
Michael Kramer narrates The Mistborn Series and The Wheel of Time series.
本书最大的优点是男女两位主播朗读,男声为Michael Kramer,女声为Kate Reading,Michael Kramer的浑厚声线也被认为是最佳的奇幻小说朗读者。但我的资源质量不是最好,虽然有96kbps,但是编码只有22HZ,只能期望有哪位同学能帮忙了
Brandon Sanderson被一致誉为是未来整个欧美奇幻界的扛大梁人物,从目前出品的作品来看,这个称号不算是过誉的,在众多的新生代作家中,他是唯一被选中,提已经挂掉的罗伯特乔丹续写《时光之轮》最后一卷的,而且写的质量相当高,评价也很高,要知道续写可比自己创作难多了,看红楼梦的高鹗被人骂成什么样就知道了
未来马丁胖子封笔之后,为了将会是Brandon Sanderson这位帅小伙的黄金年代,从他在博客上更新的写作几乎来看,此人可谓是奇才+天才,而且非常努力,很认真的把自己挖的坑都填好,这点比马丁胖子不知道好多少,业界良心!
3. Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott B. Lynch)
Part comedic Robin Hood, part revenge tragedy, and part high adventure fantasy tale. This book is intelligent, clever, funny, and dramatically dark. The narrator Michael Page is perfectly suited for this novel. I would rank Michael Page as my second favorite narrator after Michael Kramer. His clever voicing of different characters just works and he’s got that rich British accent. The key quality I like about Michael Page is his world-class dry, sarcastic tone used in narration. This really brings to life books where there is subtle dry humor throughout the novel.
Michael Page also narrates Joe Abercrombie’s books.
4. The Dark Tower Series (Stephen King)
In pure audiobook terms, amazing voice work. The tale comes alive in a whole new way when narrated by the deep and powerful voiced George Guidall.
Note that there have been two audiobook narrators for the series: Frank Muller and George Guidall. Frank Muller was the original narrator of 1998 audio tape versions of the first 4 Dark Tower books. However, the publisher did a renarration of the first four books with a new narrator, George Guidall who narrates the last 3 books in the series. The reason from what I understand is that Frank Muller caught cancer and was unable to continue with the series as narrator since there were so many years between the first couple of Dark Tower books and the later sequels.
Rest assured that Guidall does a fantastic job of carrying out Muller’s style and tone. If you get ahold of the newer audiobook versions of the first couple books, there won’t be any discrepancy between narrators — you’ll only notice the change if you end up listening to the old audio tape versions (or some online rip of them).
Overall, Guidall’s recounting of (part of) the Dark Tower series is perfectly suited for the dark and chilling story that is The Dark Tower. If you haven’t read The Dark Tower, GOOD. Don’t read it, LISTEN TO IT! It’s better than reading it, seriously.
George Guidall also narrates Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.
5. The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan)
The most disputed series out there in terms of “good or not”: many will argue the WOT has lost it’s mojo and just as many others will dispute this, especially with Brandon Sanderson finishing off the last 3 books in the series after Jordan died. Regardless of what you think of the printed version, the audiobook versions are very well done and the story comes to life. Even better, the books are narrated by Michael Kramer who I consider to have the best narrator voice in the fantasy genre.The female roles are narrated by Kate Reading which adds another dimension to the books.
6. Abhorsen Trilogy (Garth Nix)
Fantastic fantasy tale and even better narration. Curl up by the fireplace, put a pillow on your rocking chair, and listen to this dark fantasy tale. The books are perfectly narrated by Tim Curry, who’s made quite a name for himself in the horror genre, narrating some of Steven King’s books. So for dark fantasy or horror fantasy, I’d say Tim Curry is one of the best fantasy narrators.
Tim Curry has narrated: The Dune House Trilogy and a number of books set in the horror genre. Basically, the perfect narrator for a dark and creepy tale.
7.The Name of the Wind (Patrick Rothfuss)
A stellar book. The second book has mixed reviews (some people love it, while some thing the author spends the entire book talking about…nothing), but overall it’s a worthy tale and wonderfully written. You lose yourself in the world of Kvothe — and a fascinating world it is indeed. The world is brought to life by Nick Podehl, who’s perfect pitch draws the listener in.
Nick Podehl also narrates the very excellent YA series, The Skinjacker Trilogy
我们这里会提供两个版本,一个英音Rupert Degas一个美音Nick Podehl,两人都是大牛级别,非常好
风之名是我这几年读过最好看的一本书,也是我个人深深热爱的一本书,找到了种子,会把英美都传好
首先附上中文简介:
「黄昏时突然出现的火,眼睛如井底之冰的男人,血与燃烧毛发的味道,祁德林人……那是一切的开端。」
传说中的堕落英雄,为了让爱人起死回生,寻找不该学习的知识,获得可怕的力量,做了罪大恶极的事,从此受诅咒成为祁德林人。
祁德林人就像晴天霹雳一样,出现时只带来毁灭与恐怖。所到之处植物枯死,木腐铁锈,砖头碎裂……
如果不是全家被祁德林人杀害,红发男孩克沃思,或许永远不会前往大学院学习故事里的魔法、寻找祁德林人的档案;不会变成令人闻风丧胆的传奇人物;不会做出轰轰烈烈的事迹;更不会退隐到偏僻小镇当个旅店主人,直到被另一个追寻传奇的编史家找到,揭开他过往的回忆……
这是克沃思的故事,从很多方面来说,这也是一个关于祁德林人的故事。口耳相传的英雄事迹不过是加油添醋的故事,真正的传奇,只能由当事者自己述说……
他说尽一生的沧桑,我们却听到了一则伟大的英雄事迹
他只是为了求生存,却靠着天赋和机运把自己活成传奇
当人们想要述说一个人的伟大故事时,名字是很重要的。而我,却有很多名字。
我是克沃思,一个声名狼藉的魔法师、技艺高超的神偷、天赋异禀的音乐家,
也是恶名昭彰的刺客。
我曾从沉睡的古冢诸王身旁劫走公主,焚毁特雷邦城,杀死巨兽龙蜥;
我曾和众神交谈,坠入爱河,写出让吟游诗人流泪的歌曲,夜半走在无人敢提起的路上。
我曾为君王提出建言,靠智慧踏上古道,在大学院里同时遭到赞许与诅咒。
我周游各地,历尽沧桑,迷失方向,遭人背叛。
有人叫我无血克沃思、秘法克沃思、弑君者克沃思。
那些都是我赢得的称号,付出代价换来的。
你可能也听过我的三两事。
《风之名》是奇幻小说弑君者三部曲(Kingkiller Chronicle Series)的第一部,描写一位孤儿成为传奇人物的故事,故事中充满着音乐、魔法、爱和失去,该书不仅带领读者深入魔法师的行为与心灵世界,也让我们预见奇幻文学的重量级作家诞生。
小说作者Patrick Rothfuss是美国近年来表现最亮眼的新锐奇幻小说家。他出生于威斯康辛,大学足足念了九年,先念了化学工程后来又转念心理学,最后才以英国文学学士毕业。但在他广泛选修哲学、中世纪史、东方戏剧学、人类学、社会学等课程之中,《风之名》的雏形已逐渐形成。
《风之名》最初想要出版时却处处碰壁,直到他将作品的部分改编成短篇参赛并获奖,让罗斯弗斯有机会可以参加一个在洛杉矶举办的写作班。在写作班中他认识了著名科幻作家凯文.安德森,安德森则将自己的经纪人介绍给罗斯弗斯认识;而擅长挖掘新锐小说家的美国经纪人麦特.拜勒(Matt Bialer)读到他的《风之名》初稿后,惊艳于他将奇幻∕文学元素巧妙融合,立刻签下他,且不负众望推他跻身畅销的奇幻新锐作家。主编他这部处女作小说《风之名》的编辑也夸赞:「这数十年的编辑生涯里,他是首位让我眼睛为之一亮的新作家。」
好几位奇幻界的元老级作家对它的推荐,并且它还荣获了07年的鹅毛笔大奖(奇幻与科幻类),作者对整个故事的构架还真是厉害,并且文笔也是非常非常好,不得不感叹作者在九年的大学时光里广泛猎取各种知识还真是对他创作这部作品很有帮助啊。该系列目前出了两部:The Name of the Wind和The Wise Man's Fear,第三部The Doors of Stone还未出版。看了前两部,感觉故事会越来越精彩,也许即使在第三部以后还可能有更宏大的展开。
在国外奇幻类小说的有声书制作真的蛮红火的,喜欢听的人也特别多,The Name of the Wind和The Wise Man's Fear在两年前就出版了有声书,不管是销量还是评分都始终高居榜首,可能是由于太受欢迎了,今年又重新出了一个英版,主要面向英国的书迷,朗读者是Rupert Degas,美版的朗读者是Nick Podehl,这两人朗读功底都非常强,对角色的塑造能力太强,让人在听的过程中非常入戏,很多人在听过他读的这个系列后都评价本书是罕见英美两版和书籍俱佳的好作品。

8. The Warded Man (Peter V. Brett)
Action, Adventure, and Horror combined into an epic fantasy setting where night is ruled by the dark. If you want a book that will keep you glued to your seat, this is a one such book. The narrator Pete Bradbury is the perfect fit for this story — his deep voice will lull you into the tale and keep you listening till the end.
Pete Bradbury also narrated Daniel Abraham’s excellent The Dragon’s Path
9. The Magicians (Lev Grossman)
This was one of the most clever and entertaining fantasy book’s I’ve had the privilege of reading. Take a spoiled, rich-kid versions of Harry Potter and co. on downers then send them off to try and rule an ostensibly harmless fairy kingdom that turns out to be as dangerous as it is charming. It’s some entertaining fantasy that’s as serious and deep as it is sarcastic and funny. This is not epic fantasy with Dragon Ball Z like powerups, but rather something more sophisticated that explores some deep questions. It’s not fantasy for everyone, but those who “get it” really “get it.” Some of the best fantasy I’ve ever read — I mean “heard.” The sequel, Magician King, is even better.
The narration by Mark Bramhall is spot on and makes an already entertaining book even more so. Don’t read this book. Listen to it.
10. The Heroes (Joe Abercrombie)
Basically can be summed up as “war sucks really bad.” Read this book and you’ll banish any thoughts about the romance of battle. The Heroes is Joe Abercrombie’s BEST work to date. It’s loosely set in the same world as the First Law (The Blade Itself and sequels) so if you want to be a real stickler to following the chronology of things, you’ll probably want to read The First Law trilogy first as some of the characters do make cameo appearances, but you don’t necessary have to. I also suggest if you want a more traditional fantasy tale, then start with The First Law trilogy. Keep in mind that Joe likes to play tricks on “traditional,” however.
The book is narrated by the awesome Michael Page who also did a standup narration job on Lies of Locke Lamora is PERFECTLY brings his dry sarcastic tone to this book.
=========================分割线==================================
A Few Other Recommendations
1,The Black Company (Glen Cook)
Superb narration by Marc Vietor of an already superb series leads to one of the best fantasy audiobook experiences out there. The voice of Croaker truly comes to life with the narrator, who even has the same raspy sort of voice you’d imagine “Croaker” would have. Note, you’ll have to get these from Audible as you can’t buy the normal Audio CD’s.
Mark Vietor also narrates the totally awesome Hyperion series, which would certainly rank near the top on any Top 10 Best Science Fiction Audiobooks list I make.
2,Malazan Book of the Fallen (Steven Erikson)
These days, this series is right up there with Martin as the best fantasy series. In fact, many people feel that Martin dropped the ball with his last 2 books (Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons) and the series is no longer the best (I don’t necessary agree with this). However, the Malazan books on a whole are pretty steller reads, from the first book to the last book (the last book is controversial with some liking the ending and others not so much).
I have mostly read this series, but I have listen to one of them in Audiobook form and was not disappointed. If you are looking for a complex, dark and sweeping epic with loads of battle scenes, complicated magic, and so many characters that you’ll have problems keeping them all in your head as the series progresses, this is YOUR series.
3,Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Susanna Clarke)
One of my favorite fantasy books done just right with the narration. The rich British narrator brings this Dark Fantasy Version of a Jane Austen novel to life.
The book is narrated by Simon Prebble who also has narrated many classics by Charles Dickens, HG Wells, and Jules Verne among others.
4,Ghormenghast (Mervyn Peake)
All that’s good about this novel is captured by the narrator. People often complain about how “hard” it is to get into the almost poetic descriptive language of this series. The solution is the audiobook which brings to life all the richness of the language used to write it — and it’s understandable! Listen to it.
Robert Whitfield narrates Ghormanghast. He’s also narrates Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Basically, the perfect voice for Gormenghast.
Robert Whitfield此人马甲居多,其实就是Richard Matthews,也就是Simon Vance,这人应该算朗读者里面读书最多最出名的一个了
5,American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
One of my favorite Audiobooks. Narrator and story are superb.
I’ll keep this list updated. If you readers have YOUR OWN FAVORITE FANTASY AUDIOBOOKS, please share them in the comments.
Comment中提到的推荐,我们下回再整理,先把这基本听完再说
这几本书,可以说都是伟大X伟大的结合,真心牛逼爆了,最伟大的作品,最深远的意境,最宏伟的设定,最庞大的情节,加上最动听的嗓音,最高超的演绎技巧,可以说是小站里的那些脑残YA书籍根本就比不了的,随便拿本书出来,都可以踢爆
排序的主要依据是两点:书籍的内容质量和朗读者的功底,两者缺一不可,因此有些书没列上来,如地海传说(书写的很好,朗读的太差)
我个人比较认同这个排序,仅供参考
英文难度:个别难度比较大,不建议初学者上手,如果你已经听完了哈利波特系列,建议你可以从King Killer系列开始,也就是去年红遍一时的《风之名》,这本书是近年来罕见的大作,已出版即位列史上最伟大奇幻榜单,获奖无数,而且是写青年人自己的生活,语言相比冰火这样的,简易了不少,听完读完这本,可以试试其它的——我没全听完,自己也在努力补课中

It’s not fantasy for everyone, but those who “get it” really “get it.” Some of the best fantasy I’ve ever read — I mean “heard.” The sequel, Magician King, is even better.
The narration by Mark Bramhall is spot on and makes an already entertaining book even more so. Don’t read this book. Listen to it.
10. The Heroes (Joe Abercrombie)
Basically can be summed up as “war sucks really bad.” Read this book and you’ll banish any thoughts about the romance of battle. The Heroes is Joe Abercrombie’s BEST work to date. It’s loosely set in the same world as the First Law (The Blade Itself and sequels) so if you want to be a real stickler to following the chronology of things, you’ll probably want to read The First Law trilogy first as some of the characters do make cameo appearances, but you don’t necessary have to. I also suggest if you want a more traditional fantasy tale, then start with The First Law trilogy. Keep in mind that Joe likes to play tricks on “traditional,” however.
The book is narrated by the awesome Michael Page who also did a standup narration job on Lies of Locke Lamora is PERFECTLY brings his dry sarcastic tone to this book.

A Few Other Recommendations
1,The Black Company (Glen Cook)
Superb narration by Marc Vietor of an already superb series leads to one of the best fantasy audiobook experiences out there. The voice of Croaker truly comes to life with the narrator, who even has the same raspy sort of voice you’d imagine “Croaker” would have. Note, you’ll have to get these from Audible as you can’t buy the normal Audio CD’s.
Mark Vietor also narrates the totally awesome Hyperion series, which would certainly rank near the top on any Top 10 Best Science Fiction Audiobooks list I make.
2,Malazan Book of the Fallen (Steven Erikson)
These days, this series is right up there with Martin as the best fantasy series. In fact, many people feel that Martin dropped the ball with his last 2 books (Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons) and the series is no longer the best (I don’t necessary agree with this). However, the Malazan books on a whole are pretty steller reads, from the first book to the last book (the last book is controversial with some liking the ending and others not so much).
I have mostly read this series, but I have listen to one of them in Audiobook form and was not disappointed. If you are looking for a complex, dark and sweeping epic with loads of battle scenes, complicated magic, and so many characters that you’ll have problems keeping them all in your head as the series progresses, this is YOUR series.
3,Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Susanna Clarke)
One of my favorite fantasy books done just right with the narration. The rich British narrator brings this Dark Fantasy Version of a Jane Austen novel to life.
The book is narrated by Simon Prebble who also has narrated many classics by Charles Dickens, HG Wells, and Jules Verne among others.
4,Ghormenghast (Mervyn Peake)
All that’s good about this novel is captured by the narrator. People often complain about how “hard” it is to get into the almost poetic descriptive language of this series. The solution is the audiobook which brings to life all the richness of the language used to write it — and it’s understandable! Listen to it.
Robert Whitfield narrates Ghormanghast. He’s also narrates Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Basically, the perfect voice for Gormenghast.
Robert Whitfield此人马甲居多,其实就是Richard Matthews,也就是Simon Vance,这人应该算朗读者里面读书最多最出名的一个了
5,American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
One of my favorite Audiobooks. Narrator and story are superb.
I’ll keep this list updated. If you readers have YOUR OWN FAVORITE FANTASY AUDIOBOOKS, please share them in the comments.

The Slow Regard of the Silent Things并不是弑君者的嫡系第三部?惦记很久了。谢谢楼主。American Gods和 Abhorson在我硬盘上,有需要的可以留言。这两年听有声书的人好像少多了。
求楼主传一下,谢谢了
