Exorcist Falls

Includes the Novella Exorcist Road

By: Jonathan Janz

Narrated by: Matt Godfrey

Chicago is gripped by terror. The Sweet 16 Killer is brutally murdering young women, and the authorities are baffled.

When the police are called to an affluent home in the middle of the night, they learn a seemingly normal 14-year-old boy has attacked his family. The boy exhibits signs of demonic possession, and even more troublingly, he knows too much about the Sweet 16 killings. Father Jason Crowder, a young priest assigned to the case, must marshal his courage in order to save the boy and the entire city from the forces of evil.

But this is a darkness mankind has never encountered before. It craves more than blood. And it won’t rest until it possesses Father Crowder’s soul.

Jonathan Janz’s brand-new release brings the original novella that started it all - Exorcist Road - and a brand-new full-length novel (Exorcist Falls) together for a shattering experience in supernatural terror.

Critic reviews

"One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites." (Brian Keene, author)

Evil Incarnate

This book references how much of the happenings are like the movie The Exorcist, well it is. The biggest difference is the evil has more control and is much, much sneaker. At times this is a depraved book. Narration is perfect.

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

This book is awesome

Demons, Serial Killers and Sketchy Priests!

EXORCIST FALLS was so much demonic fun, I don't even know where to begin!

Narrated by Matt Godfrey, this audiobook starts out with the novella EXORCIST ROAD. A completely off the wall story of demonic possession with so many twists and turns, this reader didn't know which way was up!

I'm not going to get into the plot-exorcism is involved- which is plain from the get-go. What makes this book exciting and different is the twists and the loads of action within. Not only do we have the demon and the priest, we have an extremely depraved serial killer-and perhaps more than one. Father Crowder, the protagonist, isn't a completely good guy either-he often gets a bit over- zealous, (over-righteous?), in his thinking, which leads him down some uncommonly sinful roads.

My only criticism is the fact that towards the end of the tale the twists began to feel contrived. Honestly, though? I was having so much fun by then that I really didn't care. The final scene was such a gleeful delight, I would have overlooked a LOT worse. I'm grinning just thinking about it!

As I mentioned above, Matt Godfrey narrated (the hell out of )this story, and his voice and pacing were perfect. There were a few hairy scenes that I'm sure must have been difficult to get through, but he made it sound easy. He also sounded like he was having a great time, which only added to MY enjoyment.

If demonic possession all mixed up with a mysterious serial killer and sketchy priests sounds good to you, I highly recommend you give EXORCIST FALLS a try. I've never read anything else quite like it!

Creepy and Highly Recommend

I received an audible code via Audiobook Boom for an honest review. There was no compensation for this review and everything that follows is my opinion and mine alone.Exorcist Falls is a double feature of sorts that center around possession and the main character Father Jason Crowder. It is divided in half with the novella, Exorcist Road setting the tone and backstory to Exorcist Falls. You don't necessarily need to read one before the other, but if you do, the story becomes more.If that made any sense… what I mean by more, I mean that the emotional response to the story is more impactful.Anyways, the book does illicit quite a few emotions. I found myself yelling at the book as well as turning it off many times during my time of listening. That doesn't happen often. But this did that.I also suggested this read to two of my friends. It's a book I would read again.For the narration, the narrator really brings the story to life. I usually find male narrators a hit and miss. This is only because female voices tend to be difficult. That said, there wasn't an issue determining who was female or male when the narration was without dialogue cues. The narrator also made Father Crowder more relatable and human.All in all, the writing was awesome and the narrator was a good choice. I will definitely be cool with reading the book again (I'm not much of a rereading kind of gal). It is perfect for the Fall and Winter season.Final Rating: 4/5

outstanding

should be a series for television or at least three movies like a trilogy well done
