Tormented

De: Lee Mountford

Narrado por: Hannibal Hills

Welcome to Arlington Asylum, a place where the insane and the forgotten are brought to die

Adrian James is running from his past with nothing left to live for. At rock bottom, with a blade to his wrist, a mysterious stranger intervenes and offers him a chance at salvation.

Adrian accepts, and he enters Arlington Asylum of his own free will. Once inside, however, he soon learns that he will never escape. And worse, there are strange experiments taking place here, and a secretive medicine is being administered, one that causes certain…changes…in the patients.

The insidious secrets within the halls of Arlington Asylum are slowly revealed, and it is beyond anything Adrian could have possibly imagined. A literal hell is unleashed as impossible and terrifying creatures indulge their sadistic desires.

Adrian and his friends must escape this nightmarish place and warn the outside world before it’s too late, but they must face down the demons of hell to do so.

Tormented is a gruesome and violent horror story, influenced by such greats as John Carpenter’s The Thing, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, and Jeremy Gillespie’s The Void.

Do you dare enter the Asylum?

Not Bad

My opinion of this book kind of vacillated between thinking it was great and thinking it was okay/not the worst. Over all, I don't consider Tormented to be a waste of time for a horror lover. The narration is pretty good, although at times it was a bit lifeless. However, Hannibal Hills really shines at making the different characters come to life by using different accents and intonations. I am not sure if this book would be as good being read as a physical copy, because Mr. Hills really captures anger and aggression to the point where it becomes unsettling- perfect for this genre! I do hope he will read more horror in the future.

I think this book is worth picking up if you like disturbing characters and a story set in an asylum. I am definitely interested in listening to more Hannibal Hills- he has a lot of potential.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Mr. Hills takes you on a ride with Mr. Mountford’s

Tormented is set in the 1950’s in England. We get an up close look at an asylum where there’s odd happenings going on… is it supernatural or the doctors? Perhaps a bit of both! I was fascinated with the electroshock therapy sessions, the trans-orbital lobotomies, ice baths, and off blood transfers. This book is cruel and gruesome! The gore in this book was just an explosion of blood and ick! The orderlies aren’t the only monsters walking the floors. Watch out behind you! Don’t go to sleep! Pick a scary euphemism… it works here!

Hannibal Hills tells a scary story like no one else does! That British accent just gives me chills with the way he retells these horror stories. His voice is so full of fear and fascination. It’s hard not to get pulled into whatever story he’s telling. Mr. Hills takes you on a ride with Mr. Mountford’s words!

Great horror story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A great horror story. Loved it. The suspenseful and creepy story held my interest throughout. The narration was very well done. I pretty much devoured this book and binge listened to it because I didn't want to wait to find out what happens.

Awesome!

Loved it from beginning to end. Well written without a boring moment. For horror fan this is filled with blood guts and fire. Not for the weak stomachs!

The performance of Hannibal Hills is flawless. His reading gives reality to the story.

So Good!

Excellent horror story! Honestly I have to say this story was not what I was expecting it was better than I expected. For me horror stories are usually a hit or miss but this one was really good. It held my attention and there was so much detail when describing the “monster” mutation that patients were going through. It was so interesting and it definitely was not your average horror story. I liked the fact that it was a paranormal horror because that wasn’t what I was expecting. It caught me off guard but intrigued me too. I would recommend it if you’re looking for an out of the ordinary horror book that’s actually good.

I was provided a free copy of this book at my request for my honest and unbiased review.

Not exactly my style but I gave it a try

Mad Doctor, Cults & monsters & other worlds perfect for a "B" movie. If you like that give it a go, it's not a horrible story just not my style.

Hmm Yea

This was a dark book and I have read some dark ones. Just be ready when you start it not to get a warm fuzzy feeling from this book. But overall for a horror book it is good.

it had some pretty graphic scenes

overall the story was entertaining and I would have given it another star across the board if it weren't for just a handful of escape scenes inwhere I found the narrative to be a little immature. I felt like that really pulled you away from the story just as you were really drawn in.

Tormented!!!

This is another terrific book by Lee. Lee brings the happenings of the asylum to life, (I won’t go into details). He writes the most graphic and detailed books of horror that I have ever saw. Lee has a way of bringing out the most graphic and descriptive details. If you like horror, this book will not disappoint you. Like all of Lee’s books this is another hit.

I love the fact that Lee has chosen to work with Hannibal Hills again as the narrator. Hannibal brings all of the characters to life, he has such a deep, rich, and charismatic voice that just makes you invision every detail and character in the book.

I was given a code for this book, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. I look forward to reading the next book.
This is another must read

Horror and Gore

It was well written and narrated beautifully. It's very graphic and gory, if that's not your thing you should pass. If you want to read something that feels like a slasher horror movie, but isn't cheesy or cheap feeling then you'll probably like this.

****SPOILER ALERT******



I guess why I give the overall story a three is because I felt kind of pointless. Characters never redeemed themselves, the protagonist never finds a release, and you don't really get much to explain how or what exactly is going on. I felt like I do after watching a particularly gory horror flick that's purpose was to make you cringe and shreak, rather than provide real plot. That's not something I'm looking for when reading a book. It's not bad and I think he's a great author. It's just not my style, so I probably wouldn't read his other works.
