It Waits on the Top Floor

Horror Lurks Beneath, Book 1

By: Ben Farthing

Narrated by: KC Johnston

The tower appeared overnight, but it wants to keep you forever.

Thursday night, it was a dirt lot.

Friday morning, it was a 60-story skyscraper.

A tech billionaire wants the building’s secrets for herself. She hires a team to reverse-engineer the overnight construction, but she knows more than she’s letting on.

A curious nine-year-old decides there’s treasure inside and goes exploring. His terrified dad chases close behind. Inside, the facade of an empty office building is quickly shattered. Ghostly figures stalk the explorers. The walls themselves are hungry. And something is waiting on the top floor.

Claustrophobic and compelling

I loved this cosmic horror tale, and Eddie will live inside my heart forever. I feel like I’m going to think twice entering any office building or elevator.

Entertaining

The beginning was a bit slow but once they got inside it picks up. The thing at the top was a bit anntic after all the build up , I mean the title says it all, It waits on the top floor. So you are already expecting and waiting to see what it will be. But overall I did enjoy it and it kept me listening throughout. And I will definitely check out the next in the series when it comes out. I believe it’s worth your credit and don’t believe anyone would be disappointed.

Good, old-school horror!

I absolutely loved this book. It had long leggity beasties, a bizarre building, good protagonists & villains, & a great ending. I smiled the whole time I was listening...and giggled ghoulish (scaring my neighbors while on the sun deck. 😃😁 Definitely treat yourself to this super-fun beach read. I'm about to buy the authors other audiobooks & Kindle books; I'm a total fan!

Scary fun

Farthing writes vividly so you feel like you’re in the story! I finished listening in 2 days! Can’t wait to listen to the next one!

Excellent Cosmic Horror …

This is an excellent cosmic horror story about a skyscraper that shows up overnight out of nowhere, maybe an alternate reality? It’s a really creepy storyline with no downtime, plenty of action and keeps moving forward. I was invested in the characters and they were interesting and well developed. Among them a father and son, a flawed woman billionaire and a college professor. I am looking forward to reading much more of this authors work and recommend this book to all horror fans especially lovers of cosmic horror. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook while reading along on the kindle. The audio version was very well performed and added a great deal to how I felt about the story.
