I'll Quit When I'm Dead

A Novel

De: Luke Smitherd

Narrado por: Frankie Porter, Luke Smitherd

In this page-turning, provocative horror novel, two desperate souls attempt to turn their lives around, with nightmarish consequences if they fail.

Madison has seen better days. Reeling from a bad breakup, self-soothing with junk food, and totally consumed by her lack of direction, she’s in need of a big reset. When she runs into an old acquaintance at the gym, Madison is shocked by how fit they’ve suddenly become. The cause? An all-female fitness boot camp led by ex-military guru Ellie Fellowes. The course is characterized by grueling reps and minimal contact with the outside world, and when Madison signs up to experience it herself, something doesn’t feel right. The other students keep acting strangely; Ellie seems almost superhuman, and her intense motivational methods are becoming bizarre, even dangerous. But Madison is getting results. How can she stop now?

Musician Johnny Blake has been struggling with a pain pill addiction after a very public, very bad fall. At the encouragement of loved ones, he retreats to a secluded cottage to detox. But Johnny isn’t alone. Something is lurking in the shadows of his new home—a creature unnatural and hungry, one that traps Johnny in a frightening bargain. If Johnny doesn’t stay off his pills and keep his end of the deal, he will be eaten alive.

As Madison and Johnny’s predicaments spiral into the unthinkable, they will have to look within to find the true and terrifying answer to the age-old question: How badly do you want it?

Nerve-shredding and compulsively readable, I’ll Quit When I’m Dead marks Luke Smitherd as a major voice in horror to watch.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Your workout begins with reps of thrilling scenarios before stretching into an unputdownable story. All upon a mat of fantastic writing. Never has self-improvement existed on such pins and needles.”—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House

“Smitherd pulls off one hell of a trick with I’ll Quit When I’m Dead, a uniquely compelling, propulsive thriller and an eerily unsettling horror novel all rolled into one. Highly recommended!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Birds and Road of Bones

Another great story from Luke Smitherd!

Luke does a great job balancing character development with story and action, and he does again here. Built on the idea of "how far would you go to affect change in your life" and adding in a bit of the supernatural makes for a very fun ride! Frankie Porter does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.
There are hints of a hidden world in the book, similar to "Now You See The Monster" (another great book!) and this story keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what's around the next corner. Highly recommended!

another great book

I just love everything by this author. I do like him narrating his own books but this narrator did a wonderful job. great story, very creative and original as usual. can't wait for the next book!!

Thrilling from page one

One of the very best from Mr Luke Smitherd so far. It made me both cringe and laugh out loud. Very well written. Character building is top notch. Engaging and original story. Truly bone-chilling at times. Now, bring on the next batch of weird sh*t Mr Smitherd!

This audiobook is dangerous!!!

I drive for a living and listen to audiobooks while I drive. This book captured my attention so tightly that I blew off 2 Stop signs as well as 1 red light. I also missed several critical turns and ran off the road once. All the while, I was being informed that I was a "#1 driver", if you know what I mean. 5 stars for Luke Smitherd once again! 5 stars for Frankie Porter as well! I highly recommend giving this book a listem, but you might want to be sitting still somewhere while doing so. Somewhere safe!

A Must Read

Another Luke Smithard bomb of a Novel! Superb! Completely original and an exciting. Horrific at times.
