Resurrection

Tatterdemon Trilogy, Book 2

De: Steve Vernon

Narrado por: Rick Gregory

The pot has begun to boil.

In 1691, the town of Crossfall taught the witch Thessaly how to die. They beat her; they shot her; they hung her - but nothing worked. When they finally tried to bury her alive, Thessaly set the field against them. The first man died as a gust of wind harrowed the meat from his bones. A root, flung like a dirty javelin, cut a second man down. Many more deaths followed. The Preacher Fell impaled the witch upon her very own broom, but she dragged him down into the field to wait for three more centuries.

Three hundred years later, Maddy Harker will murder her bullying husband Vic. She will bury him in the field where she buried her abusive father years before that - the very same field where the revenant spirit of Thessaly Cross lies waiting.

In three days, Vic will rise again - a thing of dirt, bone, and hatred. Men will call him the Tatterdemon. And hell - and Thessaly - will follow.

This is the second book of the creepiest scarecrow novel you will ever hear.

Read the first excited for the sequel

This book is mostly standalone but you’ll get more out of it if you read the first one too. If you’re in to horror or want to get in to the mood for Halloween this is a good book for you!

Getting better

The first book had some rough parts, but the author seems to have hit his stride with the second.

The Tattered Tatterdemalion transforms terror

I am assuming that you are here because you read Book one and couldn't get enough. Understandable. Just in case you haven't read book one you needn't worry, I think that you can listen to this book and understand everything that is going on without issue. In case you are wondering, I am a huge fan of Steve Vernon AND Rick Gregory, and so wouldn't have missed this for the world. I think, that as we go into this you will find yourself becoming a fan of them as well.

The premise is that a witch laid out a curse three hundred years before, and when the conditions were just right a totem of her revenge erupted from the ground and went on a nice little killing spree. We pick up pretty much where we need to, and the story hasn't slown down at all. There are still people what need killin' and the Tatterdemon is just the revenant to handle things. Just an FYI, a Revanent is a restless spirit that returns from the grave seeking justice against those who wronged it. Think of Brandon Lee as the Crow and you'll get the idea. Our boy, the tatterdemon, aint quite as pretty as Lee, nor is he as gentle. Nothing like a bundle of shredded rags and bones ripping a person apart to keep you cool on a Sunday! I cannot wait to see how this story ends. I'm actually rooting for the bad guys here!

Gregory performs this reading like he was living the story, he fills your ears with every ounce of malice the monster has, and makes you empathize with those the tatterdemon stalks (well, I didn't, I wanted to see how he killed them; that is why you read books like this after all but the effort was appreciated). He plays this book like a finely tuned fiddle, and you will, without question, enjoy listening to him.

I eagerly await the next and final phase in this series. Don't miss out, listen up and listen in to these books. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. Getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

If this review helped, please press the YES below. Thank you immensely!!!

Great second book.

Having thoroughly enjoyed book 1, I couldn't wait to listen to this. This one was just as good. The whole story is starting to come together and I can only imagine what is coming next!! The authors descriptive writing is great and he made it really easy to get into the story.

Even with it only being about 2 and a half hours long, the author once again seems to pack so much into it. I do hope this will become available as an omnibus because I'd love to read the whole story uninterrupted.

Rick Gregory read this perfectly. He was able to bring life to the characters and brought the atmosphere to life too.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
