The Remedy

Dark Corners collection

De: Adam Haslett

Narrado por: Will Damron

He’s a man with a body under siege - and the willingness to proceed with a cure so miraculous all one can do is gasp - in this chilling story by New York Times bestselling author Adam Haslett.

After years of traditional treatments and therapies, Derrick still suffers from pain ineluctable enough that it has become his identity. Then he hears of an exclusive, very private New York clinic that promises relief. It comes highly recommended by a friend. The multisession remedy unfolds as a sensorial wonder that’s so illuminating it’s enough to bring tears to Derrick’s eyes. It’s all working so well. So unexpectedly well.

Adam Haslett’s The Remedy is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

Ummm

I knew when I was reading this that it wasn't as uplifting as it was appearing to be. It's a horror story. I'm hopeful, but I am not stupid. I was very disappointed in the story. There wasn't a lot of build up and no climax to the story at all. It just kind of went along. My honest judgement is that this would have been a better story if there had been more build up to the point of the story and more creepy parts. It's still an enjoyable read and I do fully recommend it.

interesting but....

odd story, took on a path then just did a 360 that was confusing. #abuse #murdermystery #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

time I won't get back

I stayed confused the whole time wasn't a very good story at all. skip it

Intriguing until the ending

This was well done. The narrator was good and built up the suspense as the mysterious story went on, but then the shock of the ending made me actually angry at the author. I know the author can do whatever he wants with it, but to end it like that just infuriated me. That’s the first time an ending or a book brought about such a strong negative emotion in me. If that’s what Mr. Haslett intended then he succeeded with me at least.

Good for a short story

First of all the narration was amazing. I wish the author had gone into more detail about the "procedure", I love how fluid the writing is

good story

this was a good story and did not go quite where I was expecting it to go, which made it a little bit more exciting. there narration of it is exactly what sold the story!

Unexpected

The ending to this story caught me off guard. The story itself kept me completely engag'd as I wondered what exactly was derek's issue. This is a good short story.

Good short story

This was nice to pass an hour away. I don’t regret listening to it, but wouldn’t say it was anything remarkable. It was free and included in my Amazon Prime Reading options. I will try the rest of the series since they are short.

Good, but a bit short

This is a wonderfully insightful psychological short story, but the brevity of time during which the story took place, and the scarcity of details made it a bit implausible. More information would have had to have been gathered from one of the characters in the story for the things that happened to have happened.

Ethical Nightmare

While I do understand what is being implied here, I think there have been a lot that has been left out in the story, it being a short story.

I liked the story but was a bit uncomfy at how it ended just like that. I suppose those who identify with the story would understand but still...

I don't think assisted suicide should be played lightly..
