5 stars for deadly night

Revisado: 09-07-22

Though 5 stars are not something I give out often, this story checked all the boxes for me to allow for the perfect score. though the story was not without its flaws--namely, the rushed ending--the flaws mentioned earlier were minor enough to overlook. The gothic atmosphere and civil war past blended to make a masterful ghost story. The police procedural plot added to the intrigue and horror. The narrator (another flaw...the female voices sounded like drag queens) kept the suspense going with a tense read.

a great little ghost story

Revisado: 09-05-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a great little ghost story with a bit of puppy love thrown in for good measure, The performance was a bit choppy, and some words were mispronounced, but this didn't detract from the story.

Audiobooks make everything better

Revisado: 03-04-21

When I first read "All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By" by John Farris, I was a kid. I have to say that the first read confused me. I didn't understand a lot of what I had read. I didn't hate the book; I just wished I understood it. When I saw the book on Audible, I remembered reading it as a kid and not knowing for sure what I had read. Listening to the audiobook was a great idea because I now could comprehend the parts of the story that had alluded me the first time around. I'd listen to it again just for the train scene alone. Audiobooks make everything better.

Not what I had hoped

Revisado: 03-04-21

When Fox announced a TV series for this book, I was at once intrigued and excited to watch. But first, I rushed to download the audible version and listened. I have to say that the television series was much more fun because the book had too much "telling" in it. Very little of the story happened inside my head; it was dedicated to me instead. I'm sad that the television series was canceled because I would have enjoyed seeing the story's continuation. That being said, I won't be reading the rest of the books in this series.

Wow

What a terrific read is Carrion Comfort. The story is long, but still, I found myself wanting more. The characters come alive, and the story moves quickly. I read certain books (or listen to them) repeatedly, and I think this will be one of those books. I highly recommend this book/writer.

Fun, and Funny

Jeff is quickly becoming one of my favorite horror writers. He has a quick wit and sick stories that fit comfortably in my wheelhouse.

Short and sweet king story

Revisado: 03-04-21

This was a fun read. The ending was predictable, but other than that was a good story filled with the vivid characters you would expect from Stephen King.

This was a surprise

Revisado: 03-04-21

I've been watching Impractical Jokers for years and was astonished to see that Murr Wrote a book. I was surprised at how interesting the book turned out to be. The story was graphic and violent, and the characters were vivid and real. There was also a great dose of comedy as well. I recommend this book to anyone who likes creature features. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel: The Brink.

Entertaining story, intriguing characters

Revisado: 03-04-21

This book renewed my interest in rereading fantasy series' after being denied a conclusion to the Song of Ice and Fire. I truly enjoyed the characters and how they interacted with each other. The story kept my interest throughout. I'm excited to continue with this series, and there are several books in this group. I started this book as a paperback, but when time restraints no longer allowed me to keep reading, I switched over to the Audiobook. I listened from the beginning and was shocked at how lifelike the characters became with the narration. I have the paperbacks of the entire series but will probably listen to books instead. Audiobooks, if done right, are much more satisfying.

A great writer

Revisado: 03-02-21

Rober McCammon is one of my favorite writers. I read all his early books one after another like they were on a conveyor belt. Stinger was a great experience as an audiobook and reminded me why I loved these books so much. The racial tension and tense storyline came alive in my ears.
