Publisher's Summary
An epic audiobook in 12 parts.
Northampton. The center of England. Twelve extraordinary characters transport you through 6,000 years of astonishing history. As Alan Moore’s place-writing masterpiece reaches its 25th anniversary, New Perspectives brings this expansive work to life through twelve immersive audio journeys.
Violence, madness, lust, and ecstasy all weave together in patterns of recurring visions, restless apparitions, and gut-wrenching narrative that offer an unprecedented voice to one of the country’s most enigmatic regions. A prehistoric boy learns a deadly lesson, a murderess dresses up as her victim, a Roman emissary confronts an unbearable truth about the empire, two lovers burn at the stake for witchcraft, and a poet begins his doomed walk from one incarceration to another.
Blending history with wild imagination, this collection of remarkable tales submerge you in the power of language and unveil the deepest secrets hidden in the land. Spoken by an exceptional cast, from Maxine Peake to Sleaford Mods vocalist Jason Williamson, this is epic cinema for the ears, firmly rooted in the author’s home town of Northampton.

Perfect
Really brings the book to life which is no easy feat. I’m a massive fan of the original novel and was a little doubtful as to whether this could be pulled off but the voice actors are superb and the production makes you fee like you’re physically there with the unfortunate characters in the book. Alan Moore himself reads the final chapter which is perfectly fitting . I would not recommend this to casual fans, especially those who mainly read his superhero comics. This is more in the vein of Iain Sinclair. A cryptic prose heavy historical fiction novel.
