Louie’s Well

De: Bren Hobbs

Narrado por: Evelyn LaRoche

Somewhere beneath the quiet dirt of a small town, madness is waiting for Louie who has spent his life trapped inside a body the world refuses to look past. Nearly six hundred pounds of flesh, shame, and the crippling isolation is taking it's toll. Every day presses down on him with the same crushing weight as the family land he can’t leave… and the old dry well he can’t stop staring into.

A decaying relic tied to a tragedy no one in town talks about anymore. A place Louie believes might be his only escape. Then the well starts whispering. From the darkness below, a voice calls his name. It belongs to Ben, Louie’s brother, who is long dead. Ben speaks of what lies beneath the earth, an underworld where Thread monsters steal your memories, and hunt the exhausted punchers forced to play games that blur the line between survival and surrender.

Pulled by desperation, jealousy, and a hunger to be more than the man that everyone ignores, Louie makes a choice. He hopes to find his brother, freedom from his body, a real adventure and maybe something like salvation. But the underworld is watching and nothing is what it seems.

Louie’s Well is a haunting young adult psychological horror about small-town bullies, their secrets, self-betrayal, and the fragile hope that keeps us alive. Because the most dangerous monsters aren’t always hiding in the dark… and sometimes, love alone isn’t enough to save us.

Very well written

This was something different than I have ever listen to before it had me drawn in from the beginning, it felt relatable at times with the desperation and jealousy.

Louie’s well is a must listen!!

Worth the listen

Starts out with a bit of a Stephen King vibe and then turns a complete different direction. Strong characters all the way through. I like that you get more than just one view of the main character’s madness.

An excellent written & narrated suspenful thriller

This is AWESOME !! ... a must read or listen on Audio book ... ❤ My review from listening to "Louie’s Well" this evening non-stop
Written By: Bren Hobbs
Narrated by: Evelyn LaRoche
Audible Length: 7 hrs
I listen to Louie's Well through Amazon on Audible tonight. It started at 7 PM this evening and it was a book, an audible narrated incredibly. You start reading and listening to this thriller, and you can't put it down or turn it off. At 2 AM this Audible book ended. I stayed intrigued through the whole time.
This story is very well written with such a different view of energy, beyond this world of snail like, after life, thread monsters, that understand quantum physics entanglement, use it, which made the thread monsters even a harder enemy to fight from another perspective of other realms, by humans, imaginary memories, with nature, from the unknown. The human contact, personal struggles, mental health issues, imaginary thoughts, and loss, is brought to life through the writer and narrator.
This is a dark psychological thriller, with search of yippy strings in a fiction realm, or is it? Another's perspective of the unknown.
I recommend this Audible book "Louie's Well" highly, and a salute to the narrator, as this was suspenseful, intriguing through the entire non stop story.
Well done. Thank you.

wow just wow

what an awesome story with a great twist that i didnt see coming. This story did hit me hard because i dealt with similar issues that the main character had and the end did bring alot emotions out of me. The narrator was pretty good but did talk alittle slow so i did have to speed it up

Really good story

I really enjoyed the story but struggled with the narration it. I almost feel I would have enjoyed it better ready the actual book.
