About this listen

The Courtenay family is cursed, and doomed to repeat their cycle of despicable acts against their fellow man, all in the name of continuing their lineage. The curse comes in the form of the figure known as the Trickerjack, who serves the Devil to steal souls from the living. The family he was born from are far from normal. Fear, obsession, torture. They all exist as everyday activities for them. For the first time, the short stories that were featured in past releases House of Courtenay and Blackgang: The Trickerjack Trail are brought together to tell the Courtenay origin story from a new perspective, along with three brand-new tales. The backdrop is provided by the story of teenager Zack Charley, whose unquenchable curiosity takes him to a mysterious eerie-looking house above the deary town he lives in, owned and inhabited by one of the last-surviving Courtenay descendants. Once inside, he is taken on a journey he will never forget. And one he will likely never escape from.

Fascinating tales of horror relating to a family curse and an old mansion. Equal parts Salem’s Lot, Dracula, and Harry Potter with a twist of Lord of the Rings, yet somehow it works. I’m assuming this is the first of a series because it leaves you wanting and expecting more. Well written and well read piece of horror/fantasy fiction with well thought out and intriguing characters. A highly recommended listen and/or read!

Between the Narrator and the author, the book is difficult to turn off. From the time I turned it on, I was living in this story while listening to it! It is unpredictable (what a relief) and the narrators voice (voices) didn't have any of those annoying moments like a lot of audio books do! It definitely draws you in and keeps you in another world until the very end!

Great book!

I do audio books. I love the thrill of the book in a way that feels like it comes alive. This book comes alive. This was my first horror book of this type. I cringed in a few places, which is what I would expect. I was a little lost on trying to figure out if some of the chapters were short stories or supposed to tie together. It never really fully tied together, but it was definitely still worth the read. Edge of my seat waiting to find out the next. Next what? Read it!

Narration was one of the best I've listened to. Not a forced vocal on doing different voices. I do know the narrator, but that does not influence my opinion. I wouldn't be a friend if I sugar coated. Narrator was engaging, excellent enunciation, and perfect reading/ listening speed.

Everything about the book was entertaining! The teaser at the end has me anxiously waiting for the aythor's next book!
