Story
Evil comes in many forms. For former soldier Gabriel Willis, it looks like a motorcade of SUVs storming his quiet neighborhood, shattering his hard-earned domestic bliss. His loving wife and children watch in horror as he is arrested and whisked away without explanation. Accused of terrorism and brutally tortured for information, Gabriel later learns that his family has been kidnapped and hidden away. The madman responsible hands him the arduous task of trekking to the mountains of Afghanistan to find famed archaeologist Othia Morgan and return with her - or his family will die.

Charlie Johnson is your average American teenager. He’s a good student, he’s a good son, his girlfriend is the love of his life. He’s a nice kid. Charlie also murders people for their sins. A serious car accident leaves Charlie comatose, and when he comes to, he suffers from visions of unspeakable horror that keep him awake at night. He soon discovers that when he touches people, he can sense their evil and see their greatest evils. Some crimes are too terrible to describe. Some crimes are too terrible to go unanswered.

Bellamy Lyston was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy's fear of storms is a legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene along with her memory of what really happened during the day's most devastating moments. Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, best-selling novel based on Susan's murder. Because the book was inspired by the tragic event that still pains her family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect them from unwanted publicity. But an opportunistic reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact....

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the head of a psycho
When I first started this short story I wasn’t really sure what to make of it. We are inside the main characters head as he makes his way to the bathroom, leaving me with the impression that he was Autistic or had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). During this trip he gets kidnapped for ransom…still doesn’t seem much right? Well, holy crap…when the synopsis say a psychotic mental condition, they were friggin right. I sure didn’t expect that.
Same as before, this is a short story leaving the description of my thoughts very short. Howard really gets us inside this psychopath’s head, but be warned, you will probably end up feeling sorry for him as well. This is one of those short stories that I wished was a little bit longer so we could have dived in a little bit more. James Simenc did a great job with narration, but I think it could have been more expressive once the psychotic break happens. However, by this time you are already invested to the end. This is another short story that I will dive back into.

“This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.”
A strange short tale that holds you as you enter the mind of a deranged young man. Free-flowing thought process keeps you guessing. Made me want more.
The narration was well done.

They have no idea what they're in for!
Ethan is an odd teen. He likes to count his steps between places and his social skills aren’t up to par. However, Ethan’s dad is a doctor. A group of kidnappers think they will get decent ransom money for Ethan. But Ethan has a secret, one that could kill.
This is an interesting short story. At first, I wasn’t sure I would like the inner monologue as the primary mode of getting info to the readers, but I quickly fell into step with it and enjoyed it. Ethan is a bit naive, and he wants to believe his kidnappers when they say they don’t plan to harm him and that he’ll be back home soon. But as the pressure mounts and Ethan goes longer and longer without his daily medication, a shift happens inside Ethan’s head. Without spoiling things, I really enjoyed how this came about and found it clever and entertaining.
My favorite character was probably Emily. I know that’s a bit naughty because she’s chaotic and a bit destructive. Her straight forward attitude and shamelessness in who she is were great. Since there were some bad guys to take out, I didn’t mind her enjoyment in the task.
Overall, it’s a great lunch time break. There’s a touch of horror without getting too gruesome. Of course, there’s some dark humor and this really appealed to me.
I received a copy of this audiobook at no cost from the author (via the GoodReads Audiobooks group) in exchange for an honest review.
The Narration: James Simenc was a good pick for this book. I like his cautious, socially inept voice for Ethan. His voice for Emily is quite different and really fits her. He did a really good job with the inner monologue, especially when Ethan slumps into unconsciousness or is freaking out a bit.

Creepy being in the mind of a not so sane guy.
I received this book for free for an honest and unbiased review of the book
This book had me from word one. The narrator was perfect for this book, he did a great job making our main character sound as unstable as he is.
Worth a credit -- yes
Happy Reading/Listening!!!

Brilliant Performance / Intriguing Story
This is a fun little horror story. Initially the first person narrative style was off-putting but just a few minutes in and I was hooked. The narration was excellent. I'm looking forward to reading more from RK Howard.
