About This Audiobook

*Cosmic Squeeze* isn’t just another erotic sci-fi hybrid—it’s a full-throttle plunge into a universe where digital lust and cosmic annihilation blur into something dangerously addictive. D.B. Goodin’s writing crackles with the energy of a glitching mainframe, weaving together high-stakes virtual intimacy and a reality-bending catastrophe that feels like *Snow Crash* directed by Gaspar Noé. The dual narration by Hannah Schooner and Giancarlo Herrera isn’t just a performance; it’s a sonic collision, with Schooner’s velvety, conspiratorial tone playing against Herrera’s gravelly urgency, mirroring the book’s push-pull between seduction and survival.

What sets this apart from the pack is its refusal to soften its edges. The erotic elements aren’t window dressing—they’re integral to the worldbuilding, where desire and data streams become indistinguishable. The "Cosmic Squeeze" itself isn’t just a MacGuffin; it’s a metaphor for the way technology warps human connection, rendered in prose that’s by turns lyrical and brutally direct. Listeners who crave their sci-fi with a side of philosophical heat (and vice versa) will find this a rare beast: a book that’s as intellectually provocative as it is viscerally thrilling. Just don’t expect easy answers—or a single dull moment.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I’ll admit, I side-eyed *Cosmic Squeeze* at first. Erotica-meets-sci-fi can so easily tip into self-seriousness or camp, but Goodin threads the needle with a confidence that borders on reckless. The story follows a cast of digital outcasts—hackers, pleasure architects, and one very confused physicist—as they navigate a collapsing multiverse where physical and virtual bodies merge in ways that are equal parts titillating and terrifying. The real standout here is the narration: Schooner’s delivery is all smoky invitation, perfect for the book’s more intimate scenes, while Herrera grounds the chaos with a raspy, no-nonsense gravitas. Their chemistry sells the book’s central tension—are these characters falling in love, or just code? That said, the pacing *will* whiplash you. Goodin’s strength lies in atmospheric worldbuilding (the description of a sentient VR brothel is *chef’s kiss*), but the plot occasionally stumbles under the weight of its own ambition. A mid-book detour into quantum theory feels like a grad student’s thesis sneaked into a cyberpunk orgy, and the ending—while bold—might frustrate listeners craving resolution over ambiguity. Still, the production is flawless: the sound design subtly warps during "Squeeze" sequences, and the narrators’ shifts between breathless desire and cold panic are masterclass-level. If you’ve ever wanted a book that feels like *Neuromancer* and *The Story of O* had a fever dream, this is it. Just maybe don’t listen with your parents in the car.
