Publisher's summary

For a family trying to make an isolated farmhouse into a home, fear and rage are getting harder to control in a primal short story by the New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network and Cutting Teeth.

The Strauss family is on knife’s edge. Sam is a resentful stay-at-home dad. Rachel feels the restlessness in her blood returning. Their children are getting out of hand. And a recent mudslide has forced the wolves out of the woods to look for food. As dusk falls and tensions rise, the family must come together to survive the night—from the threats outside and those within.

Chandler Baker’s Big Bad is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Great horror short

I really liked the story and narration of this relatively quick listen. Good tension & suspense. I have not read this author before but will look for her other books.

Good story

Parts with the kids were annoying at times and the unnatural way Sam handled Hank at first is why I knocked off a star.

What a story!

Definitely one of my favorites in the collection. The slow build up was greatly done until everything is revealed and you understand what’s really happening.
I love the point of views we get because it adds so much depth to the story when it switches between the characters.

Too slow moving

Book took forever to get to anything interesting. I just didn’t believe the relationship between the kids. I really didn’t enjoy the book much but it helped pass the time. And yes, Odie, it is your fault.

Average story

This one didn’t do much for me. The story line was average and I didn’t care for the ending.

Till Death Do Us Part

Oh my, Odie is my fave. This was fabulous. Although I didn't much care for Rachel.

Don’t miss this quick read.

Great little 2-hour book.

Had me going there for a while. The last pages had me wondering how it’d end.

Recommended.

Great short story full of dread

It's Slower paced at first, but starts moving faster and faster toward a gripping final act.
