The Sarvàn

Midsommer meets All Quiet on the Western Front in this masterful blend of mystery, adventure, and folk-horror.

In the midst of the First World War, a handful of allied POWs escape the torments of Germany’s most brutal internment camp only to find themselves stranded deep in the merciless wilderness of the Alps.

The locals there are odd, and their traditions ancient. With hushed voices they whisper of a beast that roams the frozen mountains. They call it... The Sarvàn.

Really great one. Pace is masterful.

This one feels like it will/ should get turned into a movie/ miniseries. Really masterful world building and character building. The best part of the whole story is how the story establishes tension, and then holds onto it throughout. The writer didn’t waste very many words with this one. There is a classic feel to overall story but writer is able to hide their secrets well inside of that framework.

His best one

I've listened to everything he has on Audible. They're all good. This one though is the best of a good bunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it kept my attention the whole time. The narrator did it justice as well

Excellent
