City Hall

De: Bentley Little

Narrado por: Nicholas Selker

Paul Wardlow couldn't be happier after landing his job as an administrative assistant at Arovista city hall. The pay is good, the benefits are great, and he has the opportunity to finally help put some good out into the world. It seems like a dream.
But all is not well in city hall, and it hasn’t been for some time.

Doors open up on hallways that are not listed on any layout. Employees attend meetings and return changed. Strange men come and go, with no record of them being employed there--or even of being alive.

And then there are the whispered rumors of the Corp Yard, where no one is ever seen entering and no one is ever seen leaving, but screams are still heard.

Arovista's local government is preparing for changes. Big changes. For a new plan. A new future. And it will not tolerate interference.

As the saying goes… you can't fight City Hall.

CITY HALL is Bentley Little in his element, a scathing plunge into violence and madness and small scale government that only he could deliver.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"When it comes to balls-to-the-wall horror, no one does it like Bentley Little."
--STEPHEN KING

"CITY HALL will boil your blood right before chilling it! Bentley Little is more than an entertaining horror author... he's a modern Voltaire!" Judith Sonnet, author of Summer Never Ends

Disappointed

I’m a huge little fan and this is the first book that has disappointed me. The story was great and I was 100% in and looked down and there was 15 mins of the book left. The ending felt like a cop-out. It totally fell flat and went nowhere. The narration was amazing and very well performed.

Disappointed

I have always loved Bentley Littles Books,except his determination to keep killing animals which always bothered me,this new offering was slow going like he had no idea where he was going in the story.overall a big let down.I know he can do better.

Truly Awful

The plot was a formula, the characters were types. There's nothing compelling about this book. It's not profound, it's not fun, and it probably didn't need to be written. There's nothing here you haven't seen before, better, by the same author. His last book was bad and this might be worse.

A lot of people have criticized the politics in this one, which are a bit anvil-handed. I have no problem with authors introducing some politics into their works, it's the world we live in, but I think it's more effective applied with a liner brush than a palette knife. Little uses a trowel.

A new Bentley Little book used to be cause for celebration among horror fans. I have no idea what's happened to him. Maybe he's run out of things to say.
