Publisher's summary

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907...

Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...

A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it's headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.

Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven's only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying—maybe death hasn't come to his little town by accident...

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907... 906... 905...

AFRAID by Jack Kilborn
Are you afraid of the dark? You will be.

Scary Stuff

I agree with Barry from Vancouver 100%. This is an outrageously scary story and one of these days, I will work up the courage to listen to the whole thing! (I'm still checking that my doors and windows are locked, and peeking through the curtains!)
Dick Hill would have been a much better narrator. He can do "menacing" very well but I probably would have had a heart attack in the first chapter!

GREAT BOOK

What made the experience of listening to Afraid the most enjoyable?

It kept me riveted. The story line is plausable when you hear bits and pieces of information the government has kept hidden for "national security"

What was one of the most memorable moments of Afraid?

The final round up od escape.

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No But I will

Awesome read!!

This book is not for the faint of heart! Having said that, I loved it! It's very detailed and you get to know the characters well. The narrator used wonderful different bpices for each character and I found it very entertaining, both the story and the narration

Rocket ride!

I rarely write reviews but this book deserves one. As an avid reader, I've learned to develop the necessary patience for getting through the first 3 or 4 chapters, of a new book, in order to become interested in the story. This book requires no such patience as it takes off like a rocket and accelerates until your left shaking and wanting more, by the time it's over.

Who's this book for? It's for everybody that enjoys action thrillers but I do need to point out that it's extremely violent. If you are turned off by blood, bullets and non-stop action, this book is not for you. Otherwise, put on your seatbelt and hold on for one hell of a ride!

Splattery, good action thriller.

Could not stop listen. A bit cliche yes, but with good twist and nice fast pace.

Non stop fun!!

This was an amazing audiobook. If you love suspense with some gore this is your book. Phil Gigante is an amazing narrator. I wish he narrated every book imo.

avid listener

This story was not quite what I would call "really good". It was an interesting story and I wanted to finish it but I fast forward a lot of places. Some places there was too much commentary and other places I just had to fast forward to get it through that scene. Not quite sure if I would recommend it or not.
