About this listen
Victorian London. A foggy night. A dead body. The beginning of unimaginable horror to come!
Victorian London night: A lamplighter discovers the body of a very old man lying dead in an alley. Scotland Yard calls in the eminent physician Dr. Conan to determine the cause of death. The brilliant and opinionated Conan is often consulted by Scotland Yard. But his sometimes unorthodox solutions frequently have him butting heads with incredulous Yard officials. Despite the man's apparent age, Dr. Conan determines that the victim is no older than 30 and died as the result of rapid aging.
Together with his younger assistant Dr. Archibald “Archie” Hastings and Hastings' woman friend, the enigmatic, independent Gwyneth Rogers, the three begin an investigation that will carry them from the glittering mansions of the wealthy to the squalid hovels of the poor to the darkest heart of Victorian England. What they find will lie far beyond the boundaries of science and medicine and bring them face-to-face with terrors believed by the average Victorian to belong exclusively to the realms of myth and fiction.
The Unnamed is a dazzling, original, brilliant, and unusual horror novel by a rising star of popular fiction. No one who loves an enthralling and original story well-told should miss this Steve Brooks masterpiece of terror in the London fog during the days of hansom cabs and gas light.

Story
The thrill-a-minute stories the writers of the original movie, The Mummy, with Boris Karloff, and its many sequels and remakes, used for research. Fans of those films will find the origins of: the scene in which the sacred formula for eternal life is secreted in the base of a statue of Isis; as well as the scenes in which mummies are brought back to life by burning a rare Egyptian herb; where a modern woman, who is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian princess, begins to turn into a mummy herself; where mummies can only be truly destroyed by fire; and many others

Story
It's a rainy, uneventful evening in the Oddfellows' Arms until a man bursts into the pub, clearly unstable, and ranting about a body in Fennings' Mill. The police investigate and stumble upon a body-the face smeared with theatrical make-up and a false mustache pasted neatly over the lip. Once the national news descends, Inspector Faddiman calls in Inspector Littlejohn to help him uncover the dark, hidden secrets in this quiet, provincial town. Soon it becomes clear that a lot of people can't, and won't tell the truth.

good
I was happy with some parts and left unsatisfied with the ending. I wanted something more definitive. I enjoyed the chase and mild romance. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator was good.

Victorian Horror
If you are a fan of Victorian horror stories, Jack the Ripper, or Sherlock Holmes-type detectives, you will enjoy this story. Bodies of old men are turning up throughout Victorian London on the heels of the Jack the Ripper murders. Doctor Conan and his assistant, Dr. Hastings are called in as Coroners to determine the identity of the victims and the cause of death. However, there is more to these murders than Scotland Yard first thought.
I enjoyed Mr. Brooks' allusions to Sherlock Holmes without being overly obvious about it. Even the name of Dr. Conan is a nod to the esteemed detective. I liked the supernatural aspect to the book, but would have liked a little more description of the creature responsible for the murders. Mr. Brooks did a good job in creating the dark, eerie aspect to the tale and the simpler times of the era.
The narrator, Alex Lancer, did a great job with his performance and added a lot to my listening enjoyment. All in all, this was a fun book to read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Holmes-type stories. Even though it is labeled as "horror", there is nothing graphic or overt about the story. I was given a chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book by the publisher and chose to review it.

Good Old Fashion Victorian Horror/ Mystery Novel!
This is a well written story that keeps a person's interests. A Good page Turner and actually more of a Murders type Mystery then a Horror story. The Good Doctor and his associate Dr. Apprentice are investigating finding dead men who appear to be of Great age, but then determined to have been Young Men. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline of this book.

Was not expecting it to be this good
The author really has a vibe for the chilling Victorian tale. The narrator's performance was perfect, GREAT CASTING. The plot moves quickly, no waiting for the author to paint sunsets here and yet I was fully emersed in the spooky foggy streets of old London. Jack the Ripper would have been at home in this tale.
So good I finished it in 2 days... now I have to see what else this author has.

EXCELLENT START IN WHAT I HOPE IS A LONG SERIES.
THE UNNAMED BY Stephen L. Brooks and narrated by Alex Lancer is the first in a Victorian paranormal/mystery series. Dr Conan and his newly graduated Dr.Hastings are called in by Scotland Yard when bodies start showing up in the seedier side of London. What's very unsettling is the men are young, but the bodies is grossly aged. What is causing this?
What a good start to what I sincerely hope is a continued series. My only bad opinion to the story is right in the middle its drags just a touch. But fret not, it does pick up pace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book.
I received this audiobook free in exchange for a honest review

Gothic Victorian Era Horror
The Unnamed is a well written gothic horror that definitely kept me on a thrill ride of suspense and intrigue. The narrator really made the story believable with his phenomenal voices and accent. The story goes along at a great pace and is a real page turner. I could not stop listening, the need to know what was going to happen next was too strong. I loved the plot, and the characters were likable and believable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Sherlock Holmes types of mysteries. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here voluntarily.

Good old fashioned Gothic Horror
A good old fashion Gothic Horror story, The narrator with his posh British accent really added to the mood of the book. The characters all likeable and clever and the story moved along at a nice pace, I hope this is the first in a series as I am sad that it is over.
