Resumen del Editor

Joe Mac was a legendary homicide detective until his vision was lost in the line of duty and he was forced into retirement. Now he lives a life of darkness, his only friend being a huge Raven that Joe Mac names "Poe." But when Joe Mac's grandson is murdered by an unknown killer, Joe emerges from his self-imposed solitude to resurrect the skills of the detective he once was. And, although he is blind, Joe Mac begins to hunt down his tiny grandson's murderer.

Led in some dark way by Poe, Joe Mac relentlessly tracks a force that literally owns the darkness, uses the darkness, and belongs to the darkness. For the force he is tracking has fed upon this world for thousands of years, and has never known defeat. It kills like demons, disappears like ghosts, and leaves nothing alive. But Joe Mac is determined to follow this road to Hell no matter the cost. He will find whoever it was that so mercilessly killed his young grandson, and he will deliver justice ... even if it costs him his life.

Fearlessly following the clues, he tracks the murderers of his grandson into the deepest, most dangerous heart of ancient nightmares. And with each haunting step into that darkness, Joe Mac realizes that he has somehow challenged a power that has destroyed nations and conquered continents. And the death they have delivered to the Earth reaches back to the beginning of the world. It is a battle that will take Joe Mac to the edge of sanity and beyond.

Unique detective thriller

Joe Mac, a former detective and currently blind, investigates murders committed by a group of elusive serial killers.
 
The plot and characters develop well throughout the story. There is an intriguing build up leading to a thrilling and suspenseful climax. The book was fairly long, with some repetition, but I was not bored. It was a different type of detective story with a unique flair. I enjoyed the raven character, it was fascinating.
 
Tom narrated very well. He has good intonation for all the characters and adds to the thrilling tone of the story. I would definitely listen to him again.

The title says it all

I'm usually not into child abduction that end badly for the child, but James Huggins does a very good job in making it the story without making it depressing. Good vs Evil and Huggins captures the story thru the main characters.

Dark Visions
By: James Byron Huggins
Narrated by: Tom Lennon
This was a good serial killer, occult mystery book I received from freeaudiblecodes and it was quite thrilling. A blind ex cop, a rookie cop, and an archeologist work together to figure out who is killing people and why, especially after the last victim is the ex-cop's grandson. Lots of clues, twists, action, and a great Raven named Poe! He was my favorite character.
I found it odd that the ex-cop never mourned his four year old grand son's death and sat in the cop's meeting as they discuss how brutalized the boy was found and nothing was said about his feelings then either.
The narration was fairly good.

Good one

I never heard of this author before I read his book The Hunter, and I thought it was so good that I read this one too, and it was just as captivating so I’m on to his book The Reckoning which will probably be as good as the first two. I can only hope he has more. They’re worth the credits.

Involved from the start.

From the start your pulled into this audio. Alot of depth to the characters, some intense action as they attempt to solve some grizzly murders. The narrator did an excellent job with the male characters, but the female voices I felt were just a little off. But this did not take away from the story.
I believe my favorite character was the raven.

Brilliant a 5* listen/read

Dark Visions. Is a must read dark & gripping thriller. I rate it 5* and in the top 3 books I have read/listened to this year.
Gripping from the first pages right thru to the last sentence. Beautifully written and crafted.
Tom Lennons narration adds to the tension and makes it impossible to put down.

For lovers of detection and thriller novels This audiobook will make a perfect gift for the holidays.

I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised...

So, I wasn't sure how the blind, ex-detective, was going to work in this story, but with the help of a fresh, new detective looking to solve a murder, he was brought in to help. I was disappointed at the lack of anger and sense of urgency that I felt from Joe. Especially since it was his grandson that was killed. I also didn't understand the need for the crow.
That being said, I enjoyed the book very much.
I listened to the audiobook version of the book and Tom Lennon did an excellent job.

Excellent story with great characters

This is one of those books I didn't want to stop listening to and even had to back up it when I got interrupted so I could listen to what I missed. The characters, as well as the story, were interesting and enjoyable. I believe this is the first book I've read or listened to by this author but I would not hesitate to listen or read anything by him again!
