Publisher's summary

A work of purest fiction and the world’s first arctic gothic horror, The Reeking Hegs is a bristling adventure story of the dramatic kind with a high-thrill quota with every listen.

The action takes place among the crashing ice packs, tidal waves ,and frozen desolation of old Ugzcyk, a remote city somewhere north of latitude 66 ruled by the despotic solid King Solid Fume, III, and menaced by the threatening horror of The Hegs. Our hero is the plucky narrator Nick Seighton, a private dick on a dodgy case, and clearly out of his depth in these here frozen parts. On a hunch, he makes a deal with the fiendish psychopath Mr. Yick, skipper of the bload-soaked noose, a deal that takes the listener from the verge of a story to the end of the book. Along the way he’ll be chased by the king's thing, kidnapped by skiers, acclaimed for his poetry, and put on trial for his life....

Meet Atiqtalik, a leader destroyed then transformed by her own cruel lust for power, and her doomed love partner Vincenta, who perhaps suffers even more.... Venture inside the lone icicle bar. There, lurking at the rail, is native sharpshooter Little Knowing What, drawing about him the jigsaw patterns of the tale.

“Mammadamn Spuloperof invites you in!” But what does her glee-chest conceal?

All questions cease when the polar bear enters. Feel the grip of its ice cold claws!

See how the fur flew and the crowd ra-ra-ran away, screaming down the crooked path that leads unto the meaning and mystery of the most brain-shattering story ever told - The Reeking Hegs!

What?

I tried, but I could not finish. I listened to about 3 hours before throwing in the towel. I have to say, the title and cover are intriguing . I think I was very generous with my rating. I gave Kevin E, Green a 4 for doing a good job narrating. I received this audiobook free in a promotion and this is my voluntary review.

Confusing tale with no apparent plot

I gave the narrator 5 stars because he does a great job. I listened to this story for well over an hour and still had no idea what was going on.
