New audiobook of A Voyage to Arcturus
19 December 2025
Cover to the Naxos Audiobooks edition of A Voyage to Arcturus

A new audiobook version of A Voyage to Arcturus came out in August 2025, from classical music label Naxos, produced by Chocolate Fox Audiobooks. The narrator, Matt Addis, is a professional actor and audiobook narrator, who has also narrated audiobooks of The Mabinogion (with authentic-sounding Welsh pronunciation of the names, I was pleased to hear) and Bram Stoker's Lair of the White Worm, among others.

It's unabridged, at 12 hours and 2 minutes in length, but seems to make use of the Gutenberg/Ballantine text from the snippets I've heard at Naxos's site, rather than the original UK text. Purchase links can be found at the Naxos Audiobooks site, and it's available at Audible, Apple Books, and other audiobook sellers.
