Interesting take on a backwoods folklore tale

Revisado: 04-30-25

This book was very entertaining and I was sad for it to end. I hope there’s another book about Cal someday

Characters toward the end hard to understand

Revisado: 03-25-25

Overall a good story. Much better than the movie in many ways. The one thing I didn’t like was the narration of the characters that speak English as a a second language toward the end. Very hard to understand. I had to listen to some parts multiple times to get the gist of the conversation.

This might be my new favorite book

Revisado: 01-14-25

The end was a bit drawn out but overall I really enjoyed it. I feel for Mary just as ai did for Carrie all those years ago when I picked up my first Stephen King book. Don’t skip the foreword and afterword by the author, good stuff. Thanks Nat, as a middle aged woman, I think you get it as much as any man can “get it”. Fantastic book and wonderful narration!

Interesting real crime story

Revisado: 09-22-24

This cautionary story had me hooked from the beginning. It’s easy to follow and the narrator (real victim) did a fantastic job telling her story. The only negative for me was the background sounds and music. At times it was distracting and unnecessary imo

I’m not sure how I’ve missed this one until now

Revisado: 09-19-24

I’m usually not a fan of short stories, but the way this uniquely winds everything into one is very creative. The narration is perfect. While I wouldn’t call this horror, it was definitely eerie and I wholeheartedly enjoyed every minute.

This book was a waste of time and a credit

Revisado: 09-14-24

The characters are inadequately developed and two-dimensional, with laughable stereotypes for every female character. Then, there's the narrator's childlike, nasally tone, which made it even harder to get through. The most disappointing aspect is that the only interesting character, Eric, isn’t fully explored. He was the sole reason I continued listening. While there are a few intriguing moments, I suspect it’s the sexual content that appeals to those giving the book high ratings. Overall, this feels like a poorly written young adult ghost story with sex and gore added in to compensate for a dull plot and bad writing.

This may be the best audio book I’ve listened to

Revisado: 03-12-24

I have an extremely short attention span and if a book doesn’t grab me pretty quick, I usually end up upping the speed on it and forcing myself to get through, whether I like it or not. This book hooked me very early on and I’ve had a hard time turning it off at times. Finished it today and I can say this, it is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. I wanted more, that’s the only negative I’ve got for it.

Good mythological/fantasy content but…

Revisado: 02-29-24

The religious and or very real catholic life of fear is so prominent that I had trouble not rolling my eyes in some parts. I know, I know…I’ll find out when when I die. Le sigh…

Thought provoking essays

Revisado: 11-16-23

This book challenged me to think outside of my comfort zone. That’s a good thing. Heartbreakingly beautiful at times. Kept me up at night.
Author narration is almost always a home run for me since the author knows what tone to use and when.
I have a feeling I will be listening to parts of this book again and again.

If the hallmark channel ever makes a “spooky” movie…

I’ll bet this book will be in the running. Not my thing. I couldn’t finish it
