Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of The Missing comes an extraordinary novella of four twisted short stories connected to the fictional town of Mecklenburg.
Winford and his grandson's trout fishing lead to Hitler's last words. A Boston Marathon qualifier takes a jog in hell. An alcoholic's deep dive into depression ends with haunting implications.
An orphanage destroyed by fire during a massive winter storm in 1895 leads to a soul's crossing through time and space - possessing a boy nearly 100 years later. The boy then journeys through an apocalyptic town facing the "True Believers" as the cult is confident the Rapture has begun.
"Hitler's Last Words", "The Runner", "The Drunk", and - title story - "The Message" were specifically designed to rip apart your emotional heartstrings, leaning on regret, sorrow, fright, the supernatural, and the need for a second chance.
"The Message" will open a door into the author's dark, imaginative, mental roller coaster, and keep you listening on until the sun cracks the horizon.
"Olin Lester steps outside his accustomed horror genre and takes you on a journey with the four stories of The Message into the broad depths of the human experience. From the pain of loss to the unconditional love of a grandfather, Olin's masterful storytelling will draw you in asking for more." (Manuel Carreon, New York Times best-selling author of Simple Machines)

Jeremy Gunn was a young child when he first used his gift. He touched his father's cheek as he peered into his casket and cried. That's when he saw it, his father's darkest secret. Tormented, he seeks to act on the secrets of the dead. To right the wrongs of people passed, to find the missing, and to avenge the fallen. Jeremy comes for you when you die, but that's not his gift. His gift is stealing your secret, the one you died with and never told a soul.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

It starts with the dogs. They won’t stop barking. And then the earth shrugs - 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755, and it doesn’t hit California or Japan or Mexico, but New Madrid, Missouri, a sleepy town on the Mississippi River. Seismologists had predicted the scope of the disaster - but no one listened. For hundreds of miles around, dams burst, engulfing entire counties in tidal waves of mud and debris. Within minutes, there is nothing but chaos and ruin from St. Louis to Vicksburg, from Kansas City to Louisville.

Evil hides in many places and takes many forms. For indie author Frank Stewart it came to him as a child and guided him through life. Hidden away in a dust filled room deep within his brain. Watching, waiting, and guiding Frank’s hands across the keyboard. Only when the lines of reality and fiction blur will the truth come out. Is it coincidence or is Frank foretelling the victims doom in his books?

America today is teetering on the edge of the alarming vision presented in LeVar Burton’s debut novel, written more than two decades ago. In 2012, the first African American president is assassinated by a White extremist - just four days after he is elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war. In its aftermath, millions are left homeless as famine and disease spread throughout the country. But from Chicago, a mysterious voice cries out.

Captivating and entertaining
Once again, Olin Lester brings the Mecklenburg universe to life with an entertaining book that captures your attention from the first chapter. The book is well written and continues to make me look forward to his next novel. Micah Mason’s performance of the audiobook is, yet again, perfect for the mood of the story. His narration makes my long drives to and from work enjoyable to say the least. 5 stars from me, can’t wait until the next one!

Didn’t know what to expect. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, more importantly, I was really entertained. Think King and Koontz and you’re on the right track. Good stuff. Can’t wait for more!
