Resumen del Editor

In this terrifyingly twisted thriller, a young couple discovers the horror held within their newly purchased dream house.

It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.

That is, until their nearest neighbors, Dan and Lucy Steiner, come bearing more than housewarming gifts. Dan and Lucy warn Harry and Sasha of a malevolent spirit that lives in the valley, one that with every season will haunt them in fresh, ever-more-diabolical ways. At first, it seems like an old wives’ tale. But when spring arrives, so does the first evil manifestation, challenging everything Harry and Sasha thought they knew about the world.

As each season passes, the spirit grows stronger, the land more sinister, and each encounter more dangerous. Will Harry and Sasha learn the true meaning of a forever home before it’s too late? Haunting and bone-chilling, Old Country is a spellbinding debut in the horror genre.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An extraordinarily assured debut: uncanny yet real, both lyrical and brutal, rich with truth about life and death.”—Michael Rutger, author of The Anomaly

"Action-packed horror... Fans of Stephen King and Paul Tremblay will find this a satisfying escape into the woods."—Kirkus Reviews

Very engaging story!

Great narrators. The writing is excellent and very entertaining. I highly recommend this audio book.

Great book

Seemed like a mix between Steven King, Dean Koontz, Ambrose Ibsen and Ben Coes…. Ending was slightly disappointing but at least not a cliffhanger.

Delicious

I chose this book to listen to while I drive from Canada to Virginia . First, the performance was EXQUISITE! The book AMAZING! I will agree with others that the ending was a bit soft for how unique the book was. It will live in my top 5 faves, and that’s saying a lot (I’m very picky) this book really sets its self apart from other horror novels. I RECOMMEND HIGHLY

Short story was better

Main characters were the least sympathetic in the story. End wasn’t great. Read the short story instead.

great story!

I loved the storyline of this book, made me think it would make for a great movie as well. Very addicting too, kept me listening. I liked the male narrator more than the female, only because I didn't really feel that much emotion from the female. However over all it was a great read.

Great story.

An amazing story but with a soft ending. It’s not scary at all but it is creepy and mysterious. I really like the two narrator’s performances. There are some loose ends that I wish it went a bit more into detail. I do recommend it for anyone that likes creepy stories.

more thriller than horror

not bad at all. kept my interest, good pace, decent permits, and solid narration. the ending left me a bit wanting but I can accept it as is without too much complaint :)

Fantastically creepy

Loved this story and loved the characters. Both narrators were so good at bringing the story to life. I didn't want it to end. I would love to read more stories from this area.

A surprise.

Far better than expected; four and a half star story with two great narrators. A couple too many detours into wordy disquisition were really all that separated this from a five-star all around book.

it was an awesome book!!

loved this book the narrators were great to listen too great voices and the story of it made you so intrigued
