You See the Monster

A Modern Horror Novel

De: Luke Smitherd

Narrado por: Luke Smitherd

The sound hits Guy in some low, forgotten part of his psyche - a part of him that understands the truth about shadows. The part of him that knows the deep, dark truth behind fairy stories and myths.

Guy is about to finish writing his breakthrough online article. He overheard the story by chance in a pub and it’s guaranteed to go viral - all he needs to do is persuade the World’s Unluckiest Man to talk to him. His best friend Larry’s quest for killer clickbait material has led him to a recently appeared shanty town in Glasgow, where he finds some kind of urban voodoo cult. Ex-cop Sam has already come face-to-face with the terrifying force behind both these phenomena, but he’s been trying to put it out of his mind.

When Larry is killed in inexplicably gruesome circumstances, Guy knows he’s also a target. The evidence of malevolent power is suddenly proliferating - but why now? Together, Sam and Guy enter a shadow world of ancient monsters and modern curses, in a battle to figure out the rules of the game and bring them to the light before it’s far too late.

From the best-selling author of the Stone Man series, You See the Monster is for fans of contemporary horror books at their most darkly inventive: a chilling, high-concept fable for our times.

fantastic! I've become a covert for sure

great read and love his style/tone. can't suggest his work enough. my wife doesn't like horror and even she was swept up in this story.

First foray into Luke Smitherd's mind

I don't usually leave reviews so I will keep this short and simple. I found this work particularly well done. I cared about the characters and want them to prevail against evil and save the world. Perhaps they do... I guess you'll find out if you listen to this, and you should.

A New Fan

This is the first book from Luke Smitherd I've listened to/read and you can count me as a fan. The performance was on par or better than most narrators I've heard and the story was engaging, smart without being too smart for its own good. The ending felt earned, which I can't say is always the case, and I found myself driving extra distances just to hear a bit more.

subtlety chilling

excellent mix of psychological and image-invoking thrills. looking for his other books now. great read

Great story

This was a first for me listening to Luke Smitherd's books. He did an excellent job narrating his book. The story was very good, and the points about our nature (consumed with social media) were accurate. There were monsters and unexpected twist in the story that made it very interesting.
