Acerca de esta escucha
Something is wrong with the Beacon estate.
Kim and Julian try to adjust to their new home, but reminders of the previous owners are many. For Kim, it's difficult not to fixate on the mysterious disappearance of the house's last tenants and she quickly grows obsessed with learning more about them. All the while, the house's quirks and flaws become more than just an annoyance. They're becoming frightening.
The strange door in the basement, which had been wallpapered over so as to keep it hidden, has opened of its own accord. The dead woods outside, though barren of animal life, seem to come alive at night with curious, masked onlookers. Kim feels like she's losing her mind, and Julian is unsympathetic. What is it that ails her? Is the stress of the move merely wreaking havoc on her mind, or is she being plagued by something more sinister?
Kim begins to gather clues, digs deep to find answers to the questions that keep her up at night. The more she pieces things together however, the less she wishes she knew.
The Borderland is the second novella in the Black Acres serial by Ambrose Ibsen. It is approximately 23,000 words and contains adult language, scenes of horror, and a cliffhanger ending. Listener discretion is heavily advised.

Historia
At sixteen, Sadie Young had a brush with death, and as a result she became more sensitive to the supernatural. Rather than embrace this gift, she spent years running from it, and from the darkness that once preyed upon her. Now twenty-five and working as a librarian, Sadie is called upon by a desperate family friend to look into a strange series of events. A teenaged girl has entered a reputedly haunted house in town and has gone mad. Committed, the girl attempts suicide and claims to be terrorized at all hours by a horrific specter known as "Mother Maggot."

Historia
Kevin Taylor is an Internet-famous handyman on a mission: Find a house and renovate it in 30 days. By flipping a derelict house in a month's time and chronicling the entire thing on video for his online subscribers, he seeks to become a star. The problems that plague this property will require more than elbow grease to fix, however. Shadows throughout the home are distorted, and an enigmatic trespasser keeps showing up in his footage. Worse still are the hideous voices that issue from otherwise empty rooms in the dead of night.

College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. He puts his skepticism aside and signs on to a paranormal research organization in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus. Enter Chaythe Asylum: a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students. But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building.

It was only supposed to be a game. In a boring suburb, three lonely men seeking distractions from their monotonous routines get together in an abandoned house to play a macabre game of show-and-tell. Nothing is off-limits in their little circle - anything, no matter how depraved, is welcome...so long as it's frightening. But when one member brings what sounds like an audio recording of an actual murder to a meeting, featuring the tortured screams and pleas of an anonymous woman, the jaded club members find themselves truly rattled.

Historia
Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Joe Hempel... my shower man... he's the one and only narrator I can hear clearly while I shower. I really appreciate it because I'm in there a good 30 minutes. But besides that, he has this voice that's just enjoyable to listen to even when he's telling my scary stories.

The Borderland

Ambrose Ibsen is the king of creating ghostly personalities for houses, and this series is no different. The tension is palpable in the atmosphere in and around the house, and Kim is such a relatable character that it was impossible not to suffer for her. I also wanted to get to the bottom of things, and Julian’s matter of fact attitude towards the whole thing and Kim in particular made want to shake him and tell him a couple of things.
Joe Hempel’s narration was absolutely fantastic. Not only he brought the characters to life, but his inflected strong emotions in the narration, assisting the listener in connecting more closely with the characters and the story.
This is again a short audiobook, just shy of two hours and a half. I listened to it almost in one sit, and it left me wanting for more.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
The tension is palpable
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Where the first story was more about setting the scene for this haunted house story, this one explores the haunting more and introduces you to the haunt itself. The tension in this book is ratcheted up quite a bit and the suspense is more heavy than the horror is. I feel like the entire time I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and for full Amityville Horror style hauntings to take off. I definitely was holding my breath throughout much of this chapter fearful of what was going to appear right around the corner.
This chapter has been about the plot itself and not so much about developing the main two characters. They play the similar role you see in most haunted house stories were the husband is a skeptic, rationalizing everything that happens. The wife is the one being directly affected and is looking for resolution while her husband appears to slip into madness. The characters that really make you curious are the original house owners. There is a lot going on with them now and some mysterious circumstances that I can’t wait to get resolution on.
As always, Joe does a fantastic job. The tension and anxiety you feel listening to this would not be achieved without him. His voice and emotion seemed to pick up a bit in this chapter and really made for a great suspenseful and frightening chapter. Can’t wait for the next one.

Joe Hempel, as with all of his performances that I've listened to, does a spectacular job narrating Kim and Julian's tale. The expressiveness of his voice adds depth and dimension to the listening experience and, as one of my favorite narrators, I always know that I'll have a positive listening experience, allowing me to really get into the story and not be distracted by poor narration. If you're a fan of good, solid horror/supernatural tales, then I'd definitely recommend The Borderland and the whole Black Acres series.
