I Am Not Alone in Here

De: Jeffrey McClain Jones

Narrado por: Richard Tensley

Alone with memories of his wife, he confronts a monstrous fear. A fear that he is actually not alone. When a shape-shifting creature appears in his stairway, or just appears in his imagination, Mike Merriweather questions his sanity. Is he no longer alone in his house? Has his self-imposed isolation finally broken him? Or is he just a children’s book author with a very elaborate imagination?

He has been working from home for years. Living alone for the last two of those years, he jokes around with his next-door neighbor. But there are things happening in his house that he dares not share with his neighbors or family. Does he really want to know who that monster is? Whether the beast is real? Does it matter? The monster is about fear, apparently. Maybe that’s what Mike should be dealing with.

With his sense of humor still intact, he confronts the pain of loss in the past and his fears about the future. He even discovers that not being alone can sometimes be a good thing.

4.5 ⭐️ But this is not a "fun" read...

If you're looking for something that will keep you floored with adrenaline-fueled action, then this is NOT the book for you. This is not an "adventure" book. This is not an "exciting" book - it might even be considered "boring" for most of the pages. What it is, is a glimpse into the life of someone stricken with grief... an all-too-realistic life that is lived in the ordinary day in and day out. But it is a life that is lived in fear and in sadness... a life not truly fulfilled. This is a book that highlights what it means to be a broken human grasping at the ordinary while wrestling with despair.

Good story with relatable concepts.

I appreciate how it addresses fear. It has nice characters. Kept me interested the whole time. I think the description is accurate.
