Publisher's summary

Don’t follow the glow….

When Jeremy Wolters discovers an ancient, alien substance in the Triangle Forest, his desperation to fix the past turns into an obsession. Dabbling in such powers is dangerous but doesn’t compare to the consequences of learning he isn’t the only one with desire to control it. Jeremy means to go on this journey alone, but when Ezra Ortiz discovers the truth, he tries to stop his friend from making a terrible mistake.

Ever since the introduction of the Dark-Tech line of smartphones from Stygian Automations, unexplainable instances of violence, confusion, and memory loss have occurred seemingly at random. When the tech company’s founder—Greg Specter—goes missing, suspicions arise there may be a connection.

Spine-tingling Lovecraftian Thriller

I definitely recommend the Triangle Forest. An ensemble cast and a a deep, complex but easy to follow plot keeps the plot moving at a great pace. Character motivations are all well rounded, and twists aren't just twist for plot sakes but rooted in the characters and the plot. Ed Flora weaves a tale that's suspenseful and scary, with a sense of foreboding building chapter by chapter, and the character's sanity called into question.

The book has lawyers both with the characters and the plot itself. As the book continues on the characters you are introduced to become sharper and more detailed, with their past forming and sometimes tying right into the main plot.

Without giving too much away, the truth behind the 'Triangle Forest' is my favorite aspect the 'Triangle Forest' itself. Fans of books that enjoy the 'lore' behind the tale, will definitely enjoy how that's handled here. Learning more about 'this world' and this 'phenomena' is absolutely fascinating.

Finally, to the narrator herself; Alice Himora. She did a wonderful job, adding another layer of depth and emotion in each scene. Her narration is crisp and clear, and I really enjoyed listening to her read this excellent book.

If you're into Lovecraftian Horror, Stephen King or like me, both, this is the book for you!

Fantastic Horror Book

Really enjoyable listen — I got hooked in quickly! I loved the ominous tone, weaving storylines and character driven plot. Definitely recommend if you enjoy cosmic horror.

A fun twisted tale

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting premise and the characters are fun and relatable.

Everything was bad about this one.

The plot should have made for an excellent story but the delivery seemed campy and cheap. The narrator's tone is wrong for this novel. She makes it seem kiddish. The novel reads like YA material but was clearly intended for an older audience. What started off pretty mediocre devolved into incoherent babble toward the end. Not for me.

Horror used as plothole insulator

The book really reads as if they had an ok detective story that needed a few rewrites to get all the plotholes and inconsistencies out but instead they just smudged some psuedo-horror in there instead as a stop gap
