Narrado por: David Linski

A gripping literary horror novel about the death of a haunted town

On winter solstice, the birds disappeared, and the mist arrived.

The inhabitants of Nebulah quickly learn not to venture out after dark. But it is hard to stay indoors: Cabin fever sets in, and the mist can be beguiling too.

Eventually only six remain. Like the rest of the townspeople, Pete has nowhere else to go. After he rescues a stranded psychic from a terrible fate, he’s given a warning: He will be dead by solstice unless he leaves town - soon.

Great writing

The story was great, but it was the writing that hooked me. I can’t wait to see what else this author writes in the coming years; something tells me she’s just getting started!

Could not get into it

I didn’t like many of the characters and the premise didn’t seem completely convincing. The performance helped but wasn’t enough for me to really enjoy it.

Excellent

This was a fabulous story that I just couldn’t stop listening to. I’ll be a repeat listener for certain. Excellent story, characters you get attached to, and I was sad when it finally came to an end.

The Mist Down under, what a hoot!

An enjoyable little tale of a town trapped in a devilish nightly mist. It does get spooky in spots but is mostly about people and their reactions to the inexplicable in both the natural and supernatural world. Thought provoking and easy listen, the latter thanks to excellent narration that brings all the characters to life...even when they are not, strictly speaking, alive.
My one complaint would be that the last few minutes of the conclusion do not really work. I think the goal is to leave some question as to what really happened but to avoid spoilers, constant listener, I will leave that bit to your judgement

Couldn't have been better!

This was an excellent book. Highly recommend. It was scary and thrilling and well written and well narrated. My husband kept asking me if I was ok because I was listening on bluetooth and was verbally responding to things as they happened, and gasping and "oh my gods" and "what the heck", kept him thinking I was talking to him, lol. But really, a great book, will be purchasing a written copy for my collection...
