Resumen del Editor

Joe works at a facility that performs human experimentation.

His work just followed him home.

The government wanted to unlock hidden abilities in the human mind.

They put subjects in extreme sensory deprivation.

All the test subjects went violently insane.

But the research continued.

Today it has been perfected.

Almost perfected.

From the author of In My Father’s Basement comes another chilling novel that's a must-listen for fans of horror. Gruesome, gripping, and terrifyingly real!

So many reasons to listen to this one...

I have so many horror titles in my library, but this one has just soared to my list of favorites. For the sensitive listener, sorry it’s not for you! R-rated!! But as a fierce parent, I am so on board here. This is a story of a great father that would move heaven and earth for his daughter. We go through his struggles with his job and his family... everything is upended. Everything is revealed! The whole “what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light” in the worst possible way... yeah... this book has it. This book had me listening everywhere I went and I couldn’t get enough. I’m glad I bought it. It’s not your usual scary story and I look forward to seeing more from this author. The delivery from this narrator was awesome as well!! I’ll be looking for more from both of these guys in the future!!

Thoroughly Enjoyed This Listen

This is a really neat story. At first, I was a little skeptical because the prologue was a bit weird, but once the story started it really got good and I couldn’t stop listening. I would say after you listen to the story you should go back and listen to the prologue again as that made a lot more sense after I understood what that was all about. Other than the paranormal aspects and some of the gory details, I didn’t really think of this as a horror story. Nothing about it really scared me outside of the government doing shady stuff which should scare everyone. I felt like this was more of a thriller with some supernatural elements. Regardless of what you classify this as, it was an excellent story that kept me on the edge of my seat and one I would recommend.

The plot was quite interesting, had a Stargate Project feel. I don’t think the concept was all that new but the implementation of it was spectacular. Throughout the story I often was questioning if the reality we are being presented was indeed reality. As Riley started questioning her visions, I too started feeling the need to question things. The ending was amazing, definitely was exactly how the book should have ended and provided the silver lining to the otherwise tragic story.

I really liked the characters. Even though Joe is a workaholic who chose his work over his family, I thought he was a decent guy who truly cared about his daughter. I liked his development throughout the story as he realizes how poor of a father he is and how he finally steps up. The antenna’s reminded me a bit of the precogs from Minority Report crossed with the creepy girl from the ring.

Joe Hempel did a fantastic job. His ability to bring the words to life and really make you feel them is second to none. The tension he brings to this story was perfect and he definitely lulls you into a need to keep listening.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Now this is horror!

I absolutely loved this book. It kinda reminded me of the movie Martyrs (french version, aka, the good—and original—one). So it you enjoyed that movie, you’ll enjoy this book. This was definitely a credit well spent 🤌

Horror Novel is a good description.

I liked this book alot. Anytime I can a book as a movie that is a good thing.

Amazing deal

I got the book on one of the 2 books for 1 credit sales, sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you understand why it was on sale. Intercepts was a gem, it was almost like an old school stephen king book.

Very, VERY good listen. Recommended.

Well worth it, imo. Yes, there's gore. As for horror, I consider this horror. Others may disagree. Parse other reviews and decide whether this book fulfills *your* description of horror. Ignore the spoilers. I thought the narration was great.

I'd love to see them make this into a movie

the story was very good. although a little predictable, still very enjoyable. the narrator could have been a little better though. I wish he got more into the story.

Finally!!!!

A book I didn’t give up on starts off with a bang and ends in one too!

LOVED. It.

Similar to The Institute by Stephen King, but maybe a tad darker, and with adults vs kids. Absolutely awesome story, loved it start to finish. If there's a sequel, I'll buy it immediately!

Entertaining read

Great story. Cool subject matter. More eerie than scary. The last few minutes are super satisfying.
