Whiskey Devil: A Short Story

De: Christian Galacar

Narrado por: John York

Bobby Trask is a 12-year-old kid in a bad place. His father is an abusive drunk with muddled religious views, and his mother, as hard as she tries to defend her son, only ever ends up delaying the inevitable. Things take a turn for the worse one Friday when Bobby brings home a black eye from school.

The following day his father brings him out into the woods on a mission to do "God's Work" and bring him into adulthood. A dark coming-of-age story about the sins of a father and a boy's chance to absolve himself from them.

Amazing short story!

There was so many emotions that went on in this story and I absolutely loved every second of it. Even though it's only an hour long it left me wanting more and for the story to continue. Great writing and great narration.

I was given this Audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

Good short story

I quite enjoy short stories because it's easy to find time to listen in one sitting. This is an interesting story, it's got surprising depth considering how short it is. The relationships in the book are well developed and show the complexities of human interactions.

A quick and enjoyable listen, the narrator did a good job but sounded too adult considering they are voicing the thoughts of a 12 year old boy. The pace and tone of the narration were a good match for the story.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.
