Brother

De: Ania Ahlborn

Narrado por: Paul Boehmer

Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard.

But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he's sure that someday he'll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he's immediately smitten. For a moment he nearly forgets about the monster he's become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This relentlessly grim tale is most definitely not for the squeamish, but it's nearly impossible to put down." ( Publishers Weekly)

ATE IT RIGHT UP

Another great Ania Alhborn title. With finely realized characters and a hefty dose of place and time, Brother is suspensful and subtle (but not too boringly subtle), and will certainly appeal to fans of horror and dark suspense. The novel may not appeal to those who need a solid line between the bad and the good, but I think most will find this novel well worth the price of admission.

Great story

This was a horrific story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Ania Ahlborn is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed how it was a tragic end versus a happy ending.

Amazing storytelling, very intense.

Not for the faint of heart! I really enjoy horror, but even I had to take some breaks from this story. At times it was so disturbing, I didn't think I wanted to finish it. But, after a break I would come back and listen. I guessed the ending very early, but that hardly matters for the story.Best character development that I have read in a long time, narration was awesome, and the story.....disturbing and scary as hell. Highly recommend if you can handle the themes. The humans are the monsters in this book.

Dark, sad and raw

The reviews insinuating this book is gory and going to “change your life” are dramatic. It’s dark and horrific, but not to the point of being overdone. It was well written, executed well, and the narration was solid. Recommend.

Ok

This book was ok, don’t necessarily buy into all these great reviews. The ending was meh
