Wickers Bog

A Tale of Southern Gothic Horror

De: Mike Duran

Narrado por: Amy Brock McNew

Every autumn, when the weather turned and the wind came off the marsh, the dark waters of Wickers Bog gave up its ghosts and reawakened the old yarns.

Julene Ella Haddan is about to be drawn into one of them.

It was a grey, joyless day, when young Julene heard the song of the siren and followed its melody into the enchanted swamp...a journey which led her into a tale of murder and deceit. It's only the fated who hear the siren. Yet Julene's fate now seems bound to the fabled Lady of Lisenby, the spectral gatekeeper of the Bog, queen of the haunted deep. However, is it justice the Lady seeks or is Julene the siren's next victim?

Myth and mystery collide in this tale of southern gothic horror.

An interesting short story

This was fun to listen to, the narrator did a good job overall, and the story was interesting and well paced.

The only thing that kept me from giving this a 5 Star rating was that I felt it needed to be a bit longer, I know it is a short story, but it just seemed a little rushed. I did enjoy it and would listen to it again in the future. 4 out of 5!

Stay Away From Wickers Bog

Not only is Mike Duran’s Souther Gothic short story an easy listen, but the narrator was the perfect choice to embody Jolene Haddan. The audio quality itself was a little off (hence 4/5 stars), but this is otherwise a great folklorish tale that’s worth the listen!

Any additional comments?

Take your time to listen to this Southern ghost story. I found it told like I use to hear them from people when I first moved back to the south back in the late 70's. It is not a wasted hour to sit, relax and listen.

OMG! Best ghost story ever

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.I am Southern and thus have heard many good old ghost tales but I have to say this one is right up there with the best ever. Many of my elder relatives have great ones and this could be one they told me on a scary stormy night. Along with a superb story, the narrator adds volumes to the authenticity of the story.

a spooky delight

recording quality was a bit low, but if you can get past that the story is amazing. exactly what I want out of southern gothic horror.
