———-
Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote… and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

—-FLAC FAQ—-
- What is a FLAC?
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player just like you would an MP3 file.
- Why use FLAC instead of other codecs that compress more?
For some people the difference in filesize is usually far outweighed by FLAC’s advantages: open patent free codec, portable open source (BSD) reference implementation, documented API, multi-platform support, hardware support, multi-channel support, etc. Improving FLAC to get a little more compression is not worth making it more complex and more compute-intensive to decode, and hence, less likely to be supported in hardware.
- Audible has this audiobook available at 64kbps, 22.5kHz, isn’t it overkill to convert the file to a FLAC?
My FLAC rips are from CDs, not MP3 CDs, genuine uncompressed audio, FLAC allows me to keep the lossless audio quality of a CD without the larger file sizes of a WAV file or ISO. For the record, I do not use audible or MP3 CDs as a source for audiobooks. All of my audiobooks are from CD sources.
- Your FLAC audiobooks are too large! Why would you upload an audiobook in this format?
I know that for some folks, it’s an inconvenience due to bandwidth limitations and data caps, however there are already other audiobooks available in a smaller file size. Unless explicitly stated otherwise,my audibook uploads are for those that miss the audio quality of books on CD with the convenience of an Audible download.
- Your files have colons in their file name, how? Why? What OS are you on?
I’m running Windows 10, I’m using an ASCII character that looks like a colon. I do this because I think it looks nice and organized, if you don’t like it, you can change the file name after you’ve downloaded it.

Another FLAC upload. Is there no limit to your awesomeness? Thank you!
You can’t see me but I’m totally doing my happy dance.
February 5th, 2018
Thanks so much!

Always awesome to read some appreciation for the uploads! Pretty much half the reason I do them. It takes a lot of time to do these uploads, so every comment is awesome to soak in :-)

Really high quality ripping done here.Must have taken you a lot of time to chapterize and get everything in order. Thanks.
February 13th, 2018
@Obac, it did indeed take a long time. I’m glad you appreciate the quality :-)
February 28th, 2018
Even though I am not interested in this format, I appreciate the work you do Pyrometheous. This site, ABB, is infested with thankless, selfish, self-entitled leeches. Even some of the site moderators are thankless, overly critical etc… So keep doing this, for yourself, for those who enjoy the quality of your content, and especially for the sake of annoying the living shi.t outta the ones who see little point in FLAC uploads. Thank you.

@TalkingBooks, thank you very much. It really does feel good to read your comments on here. I mean, it does suck sometimes to read comments that are literally just complaining about file format, but I’ve made a new description template for my uploads that include a link to a seeded lossy version of a book. I think that helps circumvent some of the negativity centered around file sizes.
Overall though, all you guys have been great, especially in the forums, I’ve had a lot of help, and that support makes these higher quality chapterized FLAC rips possible.

Thanks a ton for this! I love Flac so am really grateful for this;)!

I’m not as much of a FLAC person but this was the first to come up so thanks a ton for uploading. Perhaps this one is different than the one I listened to ages ago.

The book is great. Not as scary as I thought it would be but still don’t listen at night. You may get nightmares.
Thanks @pyrometheous for uploading a great quality audio.
*Ratings are for the book, not for the audio.

I had downloaded this years ago. Converted this to m4b without realising my mistake. Now downloading again to get back original quality.
