Audiobooks In 1999, Brick began narrating
audiobooks and found himself a popular choice for top publishers and authors. After recording some 250 titles in five years,
AudioFile magazine named Brick “one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy,"
Publishers Weekly then went on to honor Brick as Narrator of the Year in 2007 and 2011. To date, he has won over 50 Earphone Awards, two
Audie Awards and a nomination for a
Grammy Award. He opened his own audiobook recording studio and publishing company, Brick By Brick Audiobooks, with the goals of streamlining production and ensuring consistency throughout his body of work. (Taking a note from DVDs, many of Brick By Brick's titles also include extra features, such as interviews and illustrations.) On May 16, 2008, Brick By Brick Audiobooks released its first title: ''
Lord Foul's Bane'', from
Stephen R. Donaldson's
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. By April 4, 2009, Brick had narrated and released the other two titles in the initial trilogy (
The Illearth War and
The Power That Preserves), along with
Fatal Revenant, the eighth book in the series. When completed, this debut project will result in new unabridged audio narrations of all 10 titles of
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. The first trilogy,
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, was released in print from 1977 to 1979;
The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant was released in print from 1980 to 1983; and
The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant tetralogy was released in print and audio format from 2004 to 2013. Brick By Brick Audiobooks has since grown to include the unabridged recordings of

The Phoenix Legacy (
Sword of the Lamb,
Shadow of the Swan and
House of the Wolf), as well as literary classics such as

A Christmas Carol. The CD version of the latter includes four audio discs, as well as a fifth disc of bonus material which includes the original 1843 First Edition illustrations by

Ebenezer Scrooge in a 1995 stage production of

Gothic Horror library, giving listeners an ever-growing collection of classic horror on audio. Brick cites as his favorite audiobook readings
Philip K. Dick's
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (released under the film adaptation's title,
