The Fear Institute

The Johannes Cabal Novels, Book 3

De: Jonathan L. Howard

Narrado por: Nicholas Guy Smith

The third novel in the acclaimed cult-favorite series starring necromancer Johannes Cabal.

Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back once more. This time, his talents are purchased by the Fear Institute as they hunt for the phobic animus - the embodiment of fear. The three institute members, led by Cabal and his silver key, enter the Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that feed on human flesh, and phobias that torment and devastate. The intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic, finds himself alone with the institute's only remaining survivor, and after a shockingly violent experiment, begins to suspect that not everything is quite as it seems.

The perfect voice for Cabal

I loved this series when I read the first two. This guy has the perfect voice for Johannes, and captures the essence of the book brilliantly.

exceptional

more fun twists in this story.. sets a mind to thinking. and who doesn't love that

Ignore the Chimps

Seriously, there are some really stupid people in this world. Just read any of the bad reviews for his book if you need proof.

Lovecraft? Okay

So he went full Lovecraft on this one. It's good, but expect what you are gonna get. Having Lovecraft open as you listen might help. But don't worry - it's worth it.

Good

I liked the story but still not as funny or entertaining ass the first book.

love it

can't stress enough the joy I feel while listening to this book series. can't wait for next book!

Simply superb writing and narration.

Quite probably one of the very few modern "Lovecraftian" (the term is so overused I can hardly type it out without cringing) works of fiction which extends past the simple pastiche utilization of tentacles and nebulous insanity to deliver a rollicking and darkly humorous tale dripping with style and originality. Highly recommended.

it's like of Terry Pratchett wrote weird fiction

Cabal is a character I love to loath. It's a delightful balancing act. This book was an unexpected journey.

superb, especially for Lovecraft fans!

like HP Lovecraft? You will love this book. lots of Necromantic Adventure. the best yet.

Good

I really liked the story, but the pacing of the narration was a bit too fast.
