A Head Full of Knives: An Urban Fantasy Novel

De: Luke Smitherd

Narrado por: Luke Smitherd

From the author of Audible #1 bestsellers In The Darkness, That's Where I'll Know You, The Physics of the Dead, and The Stone Man (shortlisted for the Audible Audiobook of the Year award 2015)

Ever wished the world would revolve around you? Be careful what you wish for...

Martin Hogan feels like he's being watched by everyone and everything, and doesn't know why. Even his pets are acting strangely. Each night he sees animals gathering outside his house in the darkness, staring up at his windows with glittering eyes.

"Something is very wrong in the world…"

Things are happening that can't be explained. People are attacking both strangers and loved ones for no apparent reason. It started gradually, almost unnoticed, but now it's beginning to escalate. Random attacks in large groups are causing people to avoid crowds at all costs, and Martin is starting to believe it's all connected to him.

But Martin isn't paranoid. He is about to discover that he is absolutely right; the world does revolve around him, and the reason why is far worse than he could have ever imagined.

As his life spirals deeper into the terrifying and inexplicable, Martin seeks answers, only to find himself engulfed in a high stakes struggle for the future of mankind itself.

For the fate of human race rests solely in Martin Hogan's hands…

Luke Smitherd, author of the Amazon and Audible best sellers The Stone Man, In The Darkness, That's Where I'll Know You, and The Physics of the Dead presents the ultimate predicament in his latest unusual and original novel. A Head Full of Knives is a supernatural mystery that asks what you would do if the fate of the world lay with you (and guarantees you'll never look at animals in quite the same way again.)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I had no preconceived idea of what to expect with A Head Full of Knives, and every time I thought I knew where the storyline was heading, Smitherd deftly turned down a new and unexpected path. In a field of genre fiction overflowing with mediocrity and stale ideas - published by large and small press alike - Luke Smitherd stands out as a truly new and original voice."

Wonderful

I turned on this book every time I could get two seconds to listen to it. At times I was literally aching to find out what happened next. I loved hearing about the creative afterlife that Luke invents. Great story and highly recommended!

Wrap your head around something new

I always love the ideas that this author brings us. This story is a bit more of a challenge for me to connect the dots than some of his other works. This pleases me because I don't like to have everything handed to me. I enjoy participating in the process of my own entertainment. Luke Smitherd always allows it.

Wow! Kept me turning all over the place!

So original and out there! This author has such a rich incredible world he shares in the most bizarre and interesting books. Best yet, this audible was narrated by the author! The outcome is a mind-expanding story told in the way it was written, complete with a touch of humor here and there within the brilliant madness. LOVED it.

blown away

I had no idea what to expect from this author, but was basically blown away by his story. The protagonist is heartbreakingly real. I had to take a few mental breaks from listening because of how well the author describes his experience. The narration is seamless, moving fluidly between words and emotion. I have to say that this book knocked me on my butt, figuratively speaking. I will definitely be back for another title!

Fascinatung

This is a fascinating story. Luke should have so many more people reading his books. His writing style is so interesting, I can clearly see what he is describing in my mind as he was telling this tale. This story is excellent. Luke never disappoints in bending my mind to seeing things in.a whole new way.. Thanks Luke!

Original Premise

I liked this book as well as The Stone Men series, maybe better. Keep up the great work, and no shame asking for reviews at the end.

So Great

If you like twilight zone type stories you will this one. Very well done. Another success from Luke Smitherd.

An Original talent

Excellant yarn well-read - you won’t be disappointed. Love the interface with the dogs! Encore

Really enjoyed

Such a unique portrayal of the afterlife! Really hoping for a book 2!
Author does a good job narrating. When an author is decent at reading, as Smitherd is, then it is an extra bonus to hear the story read with the author’s intent.

Unique and creative story

As with all Luke Smitherd titles, A Head Full of Knives is different from anything I've ever read. I love his stories and listening to his audiobooks is always an enjoyable experience.

A Head Full of Knives has likable characters and tackles subjects like life after death, but does so without being too "preachy."

I will say that the narrator/author reads this book very quickly, which made it a little hard to focus. I don't mind a fast narrator, in fact I prefer it to someone who reads too slowly, but this might have been a bit too fast for me to really appreciate the story.
