8 Fantasy Audiobooks Perfect For Listening To In The Fall

Let us start off with a fan favorite: The Cruel Prince. Narrated by Caitlin Kelly, this story comes alive in the world of Faerie.

Jude, a human girl, lives and strives to survive among the tricky fey. And when the cruel, youngest prince of the Court catches notice of her, it all becomes tricks, games, and cunning to navigate the political machinations.  

Full of sass, wit, and an immersive world , Black moves you through her fast-paced story and leaves you wanting to move onto the next book immediately.

I can’t help but recommend An Enchantment of Ravens which is a book a little more on target for the fall season.

This is a lovely standalone story of a human artist, Isobel, who captures the attention of the faerie autumn prince, Rook, with her incredible paintings.

In a world where Craft is envied by the fair folk, Isobel’s skills are highly prized, but when she dares to paint human emotion upon the autumn prince’s features, she risks his ruination. He steals her away to seek justice over what she has done, and soon the two find themselves falling for and needing one another.

Narrated by the magnificently talented Julia Whelan, the story sweeps you away. 

I recently revisited the incredible and fantastical story of Stardust. Whereupon my first read through did not land with me, listening to it this time around really brought the world of Stormhold to life for me.

Of course, Neil Gaiman himself narrates his book (and who doesn’t love that), and I was enthralled.

An adult fairytale comes to life with Tristran seeking out a falling star to prove his love and soon he finds himself encountering witches, princes, a sassy human star, and sky pirates.

What is not to love? (Do make note that this book is intended for an adult audience .)

Now here is a fun, cozy listen! Grab some hot cider or a cup of hot tea and settle in for the wacky adventures of Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer.

Jenny Sterlin will have you laughing and rolling your eyes at the whimsical shenanigans these characters get themselves into as Sophie gets cursed, Howl preens, and Calcifer riddles on over his woes.

Both Jones through her writing and Sterlin through her narration have a way of drawing you in for a universe so incredibly new and full of quirky magic . 

Anatomy became an instant favorite of mine the moment I started listening to it! Do you want some gothic vibes mixed with a Mary Shelley air in upper class Scotland? This is the book.

Whatsmore, Mhairi Morrison gives us a fantastic performance as Hazel with her beautifully alluring Scottish accent !

Hazel is a lady who wants to be a surgeon during a time where medical practices are growing, but she is a woman. So, using her brother’s identity to get herself into medical classes, Hazel soon finds herself embroiled in mystery and wonder over the human body and building an unexpected relationship with the commoner Jack, a resurrectionist. 

First off, who doesn’t love a good Marissa Meyer fairytale retelling? Secondly, have you ever experienced a Rebecca Soler narration? She is definitely a fave, and Gilded brings these two wonderful things together.

Gilded is a dark fantasy retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. This story is all about the spooky vibes, great for October.

Full of ghosts, god magic, and a mysterious castle, this haunting tale tells the story of a girl named Serilda who can spin lies into stories almost as seamlessly and magically as how a certain poltergeist can spin straw into gold.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants lore and mystery.
