"Slow creeping horror story"
The horror in this story was kind of subtle and I thought well done. Not overly gory (altho I can appreciate a nice gory book!), but more thoughtful, than outright scary. I thought the characters were pretty good, if a little shallow, but overall a good read
"Worth the listen..."

Least - I wanted to get to know some of the characters in more depth.
I thought that was the only way it could have ended.
The local accents used - not knowing whether they are truly on spot or not, it still added to my listening experience.
Avoid New Age Anything! :)
