Kiosk Kingdom

About This Audiobook

James Hunter’s *Kiosk Kingdom* isn’t just another fantasy adventure—it’s a razor-sharp satire wrapped in neon-lit absurdity. Dan, the reluctant owner of a failing convenience store, stumbles into a war between rival corporations where retail franchises wage war with supernatural forces. Think *Black Mirror* meets *John Wick* in a shopping mall purgatory, where loyalty programs are binding contracts, and Black Friday is literally a bloodbath. Hunter’s world-building is meticulously unhinged, blending corporate jargon with mythic stakes, all while keeping the chaos grounded in Dan’s overworked, caffeine-fueled panic. The humor is dark, the action is relentless, and the premise is so fresh it feels like a fever dream you didn’t know you needed.

Steve Campbell’s narration elevates this intoxicating mix with a performance that’s part smirking irony, part full-tilt desperation. His Dan is a masterclass in exhausted charisma, his voice cracking under the weight of impossible choices and even more impossible coffee prices. Campbell nails the tonal whiplash—switching from dry corporate satire to outright horror with the precision of a flip-flop sandal landing on a spider. The production is crisp, with immersive sound design that makes the chaos of a ‘Black Friday’ melee feel like you’re standing in the aisle with a broken shopping cart.
