About this listen

With magic declassified in the UK, the fake psychics and fraudulent healers are running amok, and it's up to the Department of Extradimensional Affairs' newly appointed Skepticism Officers to crack down. But when they set their sights on Modern Miracle, a highly suspicious and fast-growing faith healing cult with remarkably good social media presence, even their skepticism is put to the test.

Is Modern Miracle on the level? Is Miracle Meg’s healing magic real? Why do dead bodies keep showing up on their doorstep? And just what is Miracle Dad's preferred flavour of crisp?

In Existentially Challenged, the sequel to Differently Morphous, the men and women of the Department of Extradimensional Affairs continue their struggle to uncover the motives of the Ancients under the ever-present threat of death, insanity, and sensitivity training.

What a hoot!

Don't let the subject matter, strange but interesting characters, creative narration and magical alterniverse fool you. At its core this is still a very well structured mystery with lots of twists and turns to keep you fully engaged. I loved every second of this book. Despite some negative reviews, for what it's worth, I think the narration is stellar. Yahtzee Croshaw does a superb job breathing life into his own creation which I think is a double treat for surely this is what he heard for his characters as he was creating them. I was left absolutely wanting follow up for this wonderful world Croshaw has created. The last time I felt this was after reading my first Terry Pratchett. Dive in, it's worth a listen.

Yahtzee needs to hire a vocal coach

story is amazing. it's exactly the kind of humorous and thoughtful writing you can expect from Yahtzee Croshaw.

But the voice performance is a little weak and inconsistent at times with few variance in the voices used to portray different characters. sometimes different characters will share a voice or accent halfway through a sentence because Yahtzee can't switch fast enough or completely enough.

apart from that it's a great listen.

good sequal

Victor's story was fun to listen to considering the Arch-villain to lovers tropes that Yahtzee has mentioned in another series.

great audiobook

Loved it, loved the narration too. This along with Differently Morphous are my favourites by Croshaw, after Mogworld. I hope he writes more in this series.

Yahtzee does a great job with his Narration, he revels in Dr Diablre. Looking forward to the next one.

Funny, clever and fun.

I really enjoyed this. I was sad when it ended. I look forward to more in the Series if they are written (and performed).

Book 3 please!

I came back for a second go round with these two DEDA books, and now I’m wishing there were more. MOAR!!! Any plans on the next instalment Yahtzee? I know writing books is a special kind of torture, but setting up so many loose ends then leaving us hanging is just cruel. You can’t do that to us all!

Amusing and Clever

Loved this. The humour that is woven throughout the narrative is great and I really enjoy listening to the reader. Being the author, he really knows how he wanted the story to come across which is something other narrators sometimes miss. Looking forward to the next one.
