Haint

A Dark Vampire Horror Novel Featuring the Gallogly Family

By: Samuel Brower

Narrated by: Adam McLaughlin

Blood runs deep in the holler—And something hungry is watching.

Deep in a crime-ridden Kentucky holler, where the law barely holds and darkness hides more than just desperate men, Sheriff Hunter Gallogly is about to face a nightmare unlike any other. When a devastating mine collapse is followed by a string of gruesome murders, the evidence points to something beyond human—something ancient, relentless, and bloodthirsty.

Forced into an uneasy alliance with his drug-dealing cousins, Greg and Bob, Hunter must unravel the town’s buried secrets before the sun sets on them all. But as the body count rises and old family feuds reignite, the Galloglys discover that the real horror isn’t just the monster hunting them—it’s the shadows of their own past.

A pulse-pounding blend of Appalachian folklore, supernatural terror, and gritty crime thriller, Haint delivers heart-stopping suspense and relentless horror that will leave you breathless. If you love blood-soaked survival stories, ancient evil lurking in forgotten places, and the brutal reality of small-town secrets, this is the vampire horror novel you’ve been waiting for.

Will they stop the creature before the holler is drenched in blood? Or will they become the next feast?

Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Brian Keene, and Nick Cutter.

A Perfect Horror Story

well written, good ending, and great performance. I love when I find gems like these on audible. horror is usually so predictable but this one had me guessing how it was going to end, and it didn't disappoint. I was a little apprehensive on some bits of the plot, but I stuck with it, and I'm glad i did. Narrator did a great job keeping the story interesting. All around good horror read.

The narrator was excellent with all the different characters.

Wish it were longer. i really got into it. I finished it in one day listening to it on the subway.

Different

Great vampire story, we need more of these! Good characters and action plus a little love.

Good Plot & Narration

Loved the story itself, it has a very unique take on “vampires”. Not to mention the narrator is very clear and well spoken
