"Carrion Comfort is one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century. Simple as that." (Stephen King)
"Epic in scale and scope but intimately disturbing, Carrion Comfort spans the ages to rewrite history and tug at the very fabric of reality. A nightmarish chronicle of predator and prey that will shatter your world view forever. A true classic." (Guillermo del Toro)
"Carrion Comfort is one of the scariest books ever written. Whenever I get asked the question Who's your favorite author? my answer is always Dan Simmons." (James Rollins)
"One of the few major reinventions of the vampire concept, on a par with Jack Finney's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, and Stephen King's Salem's Lot. (David Morrell)
THE PAST...
Caught behind the lines of Hitler's Final Solution, Saul Laski is one of the multitudes destined to die in the notorious Chelmno extermination camp. Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than the Nazis themselves...
THE PRESENT...
Compelled by the encounter to survive at all costs, so begins a journey that for Saul will span decades and cross continents, plunging into the darkest corners of 20th century history to reveal a secret society of beings who may often exist behind the world's most horrible and violent events. Killing from a distance, and by darkly manipulative proxy, they are people with the psychic ability to "use" humans: read their minds, subjugate them to their wills, experience through their senses, feed off their emotions, force them to acts of unspeakable aggression. Each year, three of the most powerful of this hidden order meet to discuss their ongoing campaign of induced bloodshed and deliberate destruction. But this reunion, something will go terribly wrong. Saul's quest is about to reach its elusive object, drawing hunter and hunted alike into a struggle that will plumb the depths of mankind's attraction to violence, and determine the future of the world itself...

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Really Good!

The performance of the audiobook is fantastic, though I was initially hesitant of two narrators switching off between chapters.
If you aren't completely turned away by violence, gore, rape, and all manner of abuse this is a must-have in a horror collection.
Not for the squeamish but a Grade A thriller!

Long but engaging

Nonetheless, I stuck it out and I'm glad that I did. Dan Simmons has yet to disappoint me. Mel is great. Laural is wholly unsettling in the best possible way.
Superbly disturbing. A great story + horror.

Simmons' portrayal of the mind-controlling "mind vampires" is particularly impressive, as he delves deep into the intricacies of their abilities and the psychological effects on their victims. The novel's action scenes are also thrilling, with the stakes always high and the tension palpable.
Overall, "Carrion Comfort" is not a book for the faint of heart, but for those willing to brave its darkness, it is a masterpiece of horror fiction that will leave a lasting impression.

Loved it!

Simmons creates a terrifying scenario of mind control with graphically depicted consequences. He also offers some scientific basis that forms an attempt at resistance. Interestingly, he offers various perspectives on how someone could react if they were to possess the ability.
The narration is well done with the dual roles. Character distinction is more than adequate. Pacing is smooth and measured.
