Kingshire Falls

De: Steve McElhenny

Narrado por: John Lee Payton

It came from beyond the sky.

At first distant glance, the spherical object appeared nothing more innocuous than a shooting star. Yet, upon further observation, there was something unsettling about its descent. This was no natural free-fall.

The year is 1953, and the citizens of the American rural town of Kingshire Falls are busy preparing for its centenary.

What was intended to be a day of celebrations soon turns into a desperate fight for survival as friends and family begin to turn into mutated creatures, intent on taking over the town.

Low on weapons, ideas, and hope, a motley crew of survivors must band together if they are to survive.

Kingshire Falls is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek, homage to the wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) sci-fi and horror B-Movies of the 1950s-1980s. It’s a quiet place to live, but you wouldn’t want to die there.

Like a 1950s Black & White Science Fiction Horror movie.

This book brought back memories of my youth, sitting in front of the TV watching SciFi horror f

Good Unusual Horror(?) Story

Though thos had horror content it was more of a amusing story with horror elements. I enjoyed it and think the writer likes, puns, and tounge in Cheek humor. Narrator does a very good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Kingshire Falls

This was a really good book.It was like reading a B movie flick. A black sludge from space inhabits a cow. Yes,it is always the cows. Terror,for the town,ensues. Narration by John Lee Payton was well done. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Humans vs. Mutants

Kingship Falls is definitely a tongue and cheek story that will put you in mind of some of the finest B comedy/horror films. The story is definitely entertaining, fast-paced, humorous, and creepy all at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed the off beat humor and sarcastic wit that the characters bantered back and forth. I usually don't go for books like this, but there was something about the blurb that made me want to hear it, and I am glad I did.
I was hooked from the very first chapter till the last with this thrill ride that will take you to parts unknown and bring you back again. There is something uncanny about townspeople being taken over by a mutant black sludge that will make you think. I won't give away any spoilers, but once you listen, you will understand what I mean. if you like horror with a side of action and comedy, you will like this book. The narrator did a good job at bringing the story to life. The only thing I didn't like was the lag between chapters and the few mispronounced words, but other than that, it was amazing.
I received this book for free upon my request. This is my honest, unbiased review that I am freely giving.

A brilliant Sci-Fi romp

This story captures the essence of all those great 1950’s B-movie/radio play Sci-Fi horrors -but with Steve McElhenny’s knack for creating a host of amusing characters and tongue in cheek dialogue with many laugh out loud moments. Narrator John Lee Payton nailed the delivery of the story. While a small town is preparing for its centennial celebrations, baking pies and hanging banners are the biggest tasks the townsfolk thought they would have to endure. But suddenly faced with a parasitic invasion from outer space, the town is thrown into chaos. Who is ultimately responsible for this sudden turn of events? Tune in to find out!
