As Simone Parker’s belly swells with baby number three, she is anxious to move her husband and two daughters to her childhood home in the picturesque town of Black Water, even if it was the site of her family’s massacre 23 years ago. Resettling there won’t be easy, but she is determined to break generational curses and reclaim her good memories. While dismissing the adolescent town legend that her family was murdered by the Sandman, Simone cannot deny that some unsettling haunt remains.

Loved it!!!

I'm not sure if it's the narrator or the story, but I had trouble keeping up at the end because of the flipping back and forth between characters. The storyline is so different and has some twists and turns that you don't see coming. This story was very refreshing to listen to.I actually listened to it in one day. I just couldn't stop listening

Sandman…

This story really messed with my mind! It starts out innocently enough but don’t let that fool you. As the twists and turns come, you are led on quite the psychological ride.

Jean Nicole Rivers did a fantastic job with keeping me on the edge of my seat. I should have seen the revelations at the end coming, but I didn’t!

Kenye L. Askew’s narration definitely brought out the proper tone of the story.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Terrifying

The beginning of this book will make you think it’s not gonna be that scary. It’s a lie. Prepare yourself to be disturbed. My sister and I both listened to the audio book within 24 hrs and we are both shook. Eerie, creepy and unsettling don’t even begin to cover it. I did not see it coming. So good. Read it. Or listen if you wanna be freaked out while you try to clean your house. The narrator sounds so nice and friendly that the creepy sneaks up on you.

The Haunting Sandman

Wow! What a tale! This family moves back to the mom's hometown. To the old house where she grew up and her family tragically perished. She, and all the family members are haunted by those past events. With many events and twists you won't see coming, you can't put this book down!
I got this Audible version from Story Origin and am voluntarily reviewing.
I wasn't that satisfied with this narrator. She read too fast and wasn't that easy to understand. She didn't add much to the suspense. I've heard much better performers.

So good I read it twice

I love this book. I already reviewed it when I read the paperback. So much so that I downloaded the audio book to live in that world again. And I did enjoy it as much the second time with added bonus of an excellent narrator performance.

Fabulous

I loved this story, it was amazing. Very twisted and unexpected ending. The narrator was fabulous.

Bewildering Story

Quite enjoyed this book. It was a total smooth listen and reminded me of Lovecraft Country. I’ve been more interested in horror lately and this book fulfilled the thrill that I get. This “legend” and it's derivatives was executed very well. This was a worthy listen.
