Audiobooks Like Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery

Read more

Barrie Kreinik's narration of Brom's dark historical fantasy has a slow, incantatory quality that suits the Puritan setting — the pace feels deliberate rather than sluggish, and the 14-hour runtime gives the witchcraft atmosphere time to settle into something genuinely unsettling. One more title in the list comes from Brom, and nine of the recommendations are highly rated, all sharing that same investment in dark folklore where the supernatural grows naturally out of historical dread.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
