John Hawkins is counting down his last days as chief of police on the Lone Crow Reservation in the lonely, frigid woods of the Yukon. But when a faceless body with mysterious wounds washes up on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled deeper in than ever before.

Nicholas, a would-be poet, and Nakota, his feral lover, discover a strange hole in the storage room floor down the hall - "Black. Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." It begins with curiosity, a joke - the Funhole down the hall. But then the experiments begin. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says "We're not." But they're not in control, not from the first moment, as those experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation.

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. Then there was that video: 40 seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet it was posted from his own YouTube account. Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now.

The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse - by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals - propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred. Rumors and suspicions spread. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable, forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village.

What a great book!
This is a fantastic book! I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll keep this brief. The story is amazing, the agonizing details make me feel like I was there. The narration was absolutely flawless as well. The narrators voice was perfect for the story and the characters.

Stunning! Can't Stop Myself Thriller!
Who knew such a bargain could be such a great listen? This book is like a slow motion train wreck that you can't stop watching. You know pretty well what is going to happen but when it does, can't believe it!
This is a simple story kind of like the simple plan that this book reveals. The adage "nothing is as simple as it seems" applies here.
Great narration too!

BOOM!
Let me say this...it's not often I give a 5-5-5 review. Not that I'm a walking Stevie King here myself by any means or anything, I just tend to save those big boy grades for my absolute faves. This is one of 'em! I crushed this book in 3 straight days. I stopped listening to my normal podcast routine, lost my "consecutive-days listened" Ripken-like streak on Stitcher, and didn't talk to my wife or kids thru this entire stretch! All kidding aside, this book held strong throughout. At no point did it ever become "ugh...oh come on man!" and turn unbelievable on me. It had me guessing which path, or solution our subject was gonna take the whole time, in so many different instances. Lots of surprises too. I can't say enough about this. Really enjoyable listen guys. Applause to the writer and narrator. The ONLY thing i think could've been improved on was the narrator's lack of going all-in during the real suspenseful/1,000mph/action parts. He kinda just maintained one speed throughout. Which was ok, save for those times when he could've made the ride that much better. But just focus on my 5-5-5 review! Forget I said that. If you're looking for a really great story with plenty of meat on its bones...I recommend this to you. Enjoy the ride!

Awful narrator
The story was good, didn't care for the ending but the worst was the narrator smacking his lips or clicking his tongue after every few words!! I wanted to hear the story but this lip smacking was so loud it was all I could hear and pay attention to. In other words listen to this with a different narrator.

In this, greed is definitely not good
You know that phrase, circling the drain? That’s the best way to describe this novel about greed and the lengths people will go to in the name of it. Recently I was involved in an inheritance process that involved more money than at first suspected. It brought out the worst in some family members so the actions and attitudes of the people in this novel seemed on the money to me. I was a bit surprised by the fluidity of criminal schemes that Hank and Sara came up with on the spur of the moment and also their lack of caution in some areas (keeping the money under the bed? with a newborn in the house???), but mostly the book hung together. It’s basically one bad decision after another with things getting worse and worse, scene by scene.
Spoilers commencing -
There isn’t anyone to root for in this book, but there are degrees of dirt-baggery to be plumbed and not all the deaths are lamentable. Most are though and by the end I was hoping Hank would get caught. He and Sara deserved it. They don’t, but neither do they profit by their crimes and they seem pretty comfortable with them on the whole (all that self-serving justification must have gone down well). The FBI logged about 10% of the serial numbers and without knowing which bills are on the list, the whole pile is worthless. Sara tries everything in her power to hang onto it, right to the bitter end. In a way, I’m glad there wasn’t much denouement to the book since it would have meant spending more time with the two of them. I’m not sure the kid’s accident and subsequent near-vegetative state is effective as a sop to justice though. And I can’t imagine the law ignoring so many deaths in such a short time period, especially when there’s no GSR on Lou’s body. But other than those things, the story is good, compelling and reasonably believable if a sad testament to one of humanity’s least admirable traits.

As if the real world wasn’t reminder enough of the depravity and soullessness that constitute some people, along comes a book to remind us of the absolute worst within us. Depressing and astonishingly cavalier in its attitude toward evil, truthfully the narrator was the only saving grace.

This was a good one!
I started off liking it a lot then it got a littel draggy for me so lucky for me I was listening to it and just upped my speed to 1.50 and loved it. This is one crazy story and I love a good moral dilemma book.
Found out that this book has been made into a movie that I will watch but when I know that there has been a movie made I like to go and look at the cast. Jacob didn't match with Billy Bob Thornton but I liked Bill Paxton as the main character.
This is one that I will be recommeding to my friends, great book club read!
I have now watched the movie. Skip the movie, the book is sooo much better.
