  20. Perhaps "The Tell-Tale Heart", by Edgar Allen Poe.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think that The Book Thief, which is narrated by "Death" would be an appropriate choice for these skull-icious earbuds.

  22. As Simple As Snow. Its a good book. I don't think a skull would care much to hear about other skulls anyway...Assuming he wants to hear a story in the first place we can conclude that he is sentient. Generally, most skulls in literature have no such quality! So what comfort would he find in reading of other dissimilar, lifeless and dull bones?...Yeah, he would want to hear something a little thought-provoking instead, I think. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. good omens by gaiman and pratchet

    ReplyDelete
  24. To me a skull represents what we are when all of our pretense is stripped away. I think a skull would like to listen to confessional poetry and journals read by Sylvia Plath.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm with Leann and think Poe's work would be a skull favorite. Though if a winner, I'll be listening to BoneJovi with them.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The Necronomicon, of course !!! I mean, what skull wouldn't enjoy a nice audio book of the means for summoning the Old Ones?

    ReplyDelete
  35. The Exorcist, as read by the author-- that's some scary stuff! Much more intense than the movie, which I didn't even know was possible.

    ReplyDelete
  45. a skull, huh? well, isnt it the bones of a human? sooooooo...wouldnt it be listening to whatever the human chooses? XD

    ReplyDelete
  46. Skulls would listen to Edgar Allan Poe's "Tell-tale Heart" or "The Pit and the Pendulum".

    These two stories invoke strong themes concerning the sanctity of life and the resultant dilemma of what is death like and what is means to take a life.

    Obviously have to go with the philosophical, since when you are dead, you got all the time you want to think.....despite that there is no brain left in your head.

  55. The Statement of Randolph Carter
    by H. P. Lovecraft most definitely

    "Again I say, I do not know what has become of Harley Warren, though I think--almost
    hope--that he is in peaceful oblivion, if there be anywhere so blessed a thing. It is true
    that I have for five years been his closest friend, and a partial sharer of his terrible
    researches into the unknown. I will not deny, though my memory is uncertain and
    indistinct, that this witness of yours may have seen us together as he says, on the
    Gainsville pike, walking toward Big Cypress Swamp, at half past 11 on that awful night.
    That we bore electric lanterns, spades, and a curious coil of wire with attached
    instruments, I will even affirm; for these things all played a part in the single hideous
    scene which remains burned into my shaken recollection."

  67. The Monkeys Paw. I just read it and can imagine the figure at the door with a skull & zombie-like appearance.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think George Carlin's "Brain Droppings" would be appropriate for that foramen magnum. Or, for the more refined skull, Alighieri's "Divina Commedia."

  72. Hey, you can call me a dweeb, but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince would be the perfect great book to listen to with the skull earphones.

    ReplyDelete
  73. My first thought was also the Necronomicon but since that has been suggested maybe a close second albeit a much less fun title would be "On Death and Dying"
    by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

    ReplyDelete
  74. Skeleton Crew by Stephen King.

  81. How about my own audiobook that was released a few years ago, HOLY ROLLERS? It's a disturbing tale that asks, "What if those pesky door-to-door evangelists showed up on your front porch one day . . . but then they absolutely refused to leave until you had listened to their 'Good Word'? What if they carried guns, a straight-razor . . . and something even scarier, locked up in a black leather briefcase?"

  94. I think they would rather enjoy 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner. (I know it's a short story and not a full novel, but I still think they'd like it.
