I imagine The Graveyard Book would go over pretty well!

I think I would like to hear Dan Brown's: The Lost Symbol
1984 by George Orwell, i just think hearing about a dead future and a dead past through a skull is some how fitting
"Hamlet" by Shakespeare.
I would love to listen to the long hard road out of Hell - by marilyn Manson through those sweet buds !
They would listen to 'Dem Bones' by Bob Barner...
I would love to listen to the long hard road out of Hell - by marilyn Manson on those sweeet buds !
hamlet; for their cameo as yorick
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold of course!
my email is 4n6chck@hotmail.com
Anything Stephen King, that's my favorite and I will be getting my books out of storage soon, YAY!
Neil Gaiman's M is for Magic....
My guess, Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice or maybe Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut.
email is tonto@bex.net or thru etsy.com/johnnynothumbzzz
Of course a skull would love to listen to Skulls, an audio book about his friends.
It would be Treasure Island me thinks!!! Ye old classics never die, ya rekon??? Aye me hardees!! YO HO!!!!!
My skulls would listen to Bones of the Barbary Coast by Daniel Hecht.
roya at trancendance dot com
Desert Solitaire
science33@sbcgloabal.net
or for the skulls music pleasure, some AFP, with Who KIlled Amanda Palmer.
I think they'd listen to The Haunted Mansion or The Shining, of course! Who wouldn't?
Well of course "Skulls by Noah Scalin"
Slaughterhouse V... very skully.
Hamlet, of course! Where else does a skull get so much attention?
Stephen King's Dreamcatcher (just got in on a 20 cd set :) )
rhonnyreaper@yahoo.com
Terry Pratchett's 'Reaper Man' would be favorite - and one of mine, too!
I ar tigerbay(at)northwestel(dot)net
Perhaps "The Tell-Tale Heart", by Edgar Allen Poe.
I think that The Book Thief, which is narrated by "Death" would be an appropriate choice for these skull-icious earbuds.
hderaps@mtbluersd.org
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. :)
good omens by gaiman and pratchet
choke.
amber.rieger@gmail.com
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.
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.
"The Great & Secret Show" by Clive Barker
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, naturally.
I think they'd listen to any of the Terry Pratchett novels, especially those dealing with Death hisself.
they would listen to the audio book version of...Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!
Ozzy Osbourne's new book " i am ozzy" these headphone's would go with the price of darkness words of wisdom ..if you could understand what he says...
war of the worlds...and the music of rob zombie of course =)
amydhull(at)gmail(dot)com
I think it would listen to something by Kathy Reichs.
Any skull would enjoy the Joe Pitt series by Charlie Huston. Pulp-noir at its finest!
lisa@badbabyart.com
PS - I the Morbid King buds are especially AWESOME!
hamlet
The Necronomicon, of course !!! I mean, what skull wouldn't enjoy a nice audio book of the means for summoning the Old Ones?
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.
lemonwitch@hotmail.com
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, I think. Actually...probably nearly anything by Gaiman ;)
disturbedenough@hotmail.com
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Actually...probably anything by Gaiman.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas by Thompson of course!!
shepley66 at yahoo dot com
Stephen King's Bag of Bones
I would listen to American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Because he is one if the best writers out there.
I think anything dark and gloomy would be perfect.
YOu can reach me at webmaster(AT)Hauntseeker(dot)com
For the audio book: Skull Duggery by Aaron Elkins
For music: It would have to be the album by Band of Skulls called "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey"
-megan
memulloy@gmail.com
Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan's The Strain
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Every skull should listen to that book!
a skull, huh? well, isnt it the bones of a human? sooooooo...wouldnt it be listening to whatever the human chooses? XD
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.
above comment from "Eli Zachary"
zack.berk@gmail.com
they would love the graphic novel Bone from boneville.
email: ctpowell@gmail.com
The Whole Death Catalog
The Complete tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
XRBridX23@yahoo.com

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."

Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters.
mrodri64(at)gmail.com
HAMLET, of course!
hch91@hotmail.com
I would have to say Servant of the Bones By: Anne Rice
I would listen to Hamlet as well, for poor Yorick's sake...
Skeleton Crew by Stephen King! tWarner419@aol.com
I will stray from my normal response of anything by Edgar Allan Poe and say listening to Clive Barker's Mister B Gone would be perfect.
email -mark.mihalko(at)comcast
I would be totally disappointed if someone didn't mention "Get In The Van" by Henry Rollins. He is a GREAT story teller.
I think they would like to listen to The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury.
H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulu, followed by Metallica's Call of Cthulu.
My first thought was The Graveyard Book. Other suggestions include The Necronomicon, Creepy Suzie, and anything by Edward Gorey
Tales of Terror from Edgar Allan Poe.
my email is ladymeta@gmail.com
I believe they would be reading a copy of "Bone Appitite" Magazine!
I love the earphones... so classy!

The Monkeys Paw. I just read it and can imagine the figure at the door with a skull & zombie-like appearance.
I think George Carlin's "Brain Droppings" would be appropriate for that foramen magnum. Or, for the more refined skull, Alighieri's "Divina Commedia."
You can reach me at Chroshere@aol.com
Any skull would love to read Stephen King's short story "The Body"... I think.
H. P. Lovecraft's collected works.
kozytartan@gmail.com
Why, "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold of course!
siddownshaddup@yahoo.com
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.
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
Skeleton Crew by Stephen King.
email: dark_one69@hotmail.com
I would have to say Clive Barkers Cabal, just because it is one of my favorite Barker stories.
diaryofajunkie@gmail.com
I think a skull would like to listen to 'The Strain' by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
overfiend2021@yahoo.com
A skull would be perfectly happy listening to 'The Strain' by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Listening to this book through a set of skulls is the way it should be.
overfiend2021@yahoo.com
if I were a skull I'd want to listen to the audiobook of Under The Dome by Stephen King.
mrsradu@yahoo.com
if I were a skull I'd want to listen to the audiobook of Under The Dome by Stephen King.

I think the would enjoy A Punisher audio book.
Unknowntepes@aol.com
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?"

Night on Bald Mountain, or Phillip Glass' Orphee. Or even Damnation de Faust. Something strong and powerful, from hell itself.
I think she would like to listen to Dante's "La Divina Commedia" - in Italian, of course.
Anne Rice - Servant of the Bones.
Her books always make a great audio experience.

"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold
"As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner
"The Big Sleep" by Raymond Chandler
carolena1948@yahoo.com
"The hollow skull" by Christopher Pike.
I think a skull would like to listen to Imajica by Clive Barker. Period.
Maybe they would listen too the worm song, "The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, into your stomache and out your mouth. "
My skulls would be curious skulls. They'd listen to "The Archaeology of Death and Burial" by Parker Pearson, and then follow up with something like "Dead Men Do Tell Tales" by William Maples. After that they might start talking back!
"The Silence of the Lambs" by Thomas Harris
I believe a Skull would find the face transplant quite amusing.
clefcrossheart@gmail.com
The best book would be Christopher Moore's "Dirty Job"(http://www.chrismoore.com/dirty_job.html).
The obvious choice would be "The Lovely Bones" a novel by Alice Sebold.
There are a few I would listen to and read with these skulls... Along with the others in my collection!!!...
1~ The Lovely Bones By Alice Sebol
2~ Exiliana By Mariela Griffor
3~ SKULLS: the skull-a-day book By Noah Scalin
4~ Picking Bones From Ash By Marie Mutsuki Mockett
5~ Bone Crossed By Patricia Briggs
6~ Bare Bones: A Novel By Kathy Reichs
There are a ton more not to mention all the music and movies!!!...
The Robe of Skulls: The First Tale from the Five Kingdoms, by Vivian French. What else!?
strike910@gmail.com
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.
I am actually going to go with two books, Choke, and Wicked. To amazing books, perfect for a skull to get more educated on himself lol
Most definately, "A Dirty Job," by Christopher Moore.
"Bag of Bones" by Stephen King
