Publisher's summary

The fears and horrors of being a new parent take on a shocking dimension in in this heart-stopping original story, only from Audible.

A young married couple, Matt and Gillian, have just bought a gorgeous house located next to a lake in the Catskills. They want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to raise their baby girl, Hope, in relative peace and quiet. When night falls, however, their dream home becomes a house of nightmares. Matt and Gillian soon learn that darkness takes many forms. And sometimes, darkness is hungry.

New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry delivers a haunting Audible Original that will give listeners the Halloween creeps all year round. Scott Brick, the man with the golden voice, perfectly captures the experience of hearing a classic ghost story told around the campfire.

This product features adult language and themes.

About the Author

Jonathan Maberry is a New York Times best-selling suspense novelist and comic book writer. He has won six Bram Stoker Awards, as well as Scribe and Inkpot awards. His works include Glimpse, The Wolfman, X-Files Origins: Devil's Advocate, the Joe Ledger thrillers, the Rot & Ruin series, the Dead of Night series, and many others. He is the editor of anthologies including The X-Files, Aliens: Bug Hunt, and Nights of the Living Dead, co-edited with zombie genre creator George A. Romero.

About the Performer

Recognized for his smooth and versatile tenor, Scott Brick has narrated more than 850 audiobooks since his start in 2000. He has won numerous Audie Awards, including two in 2016 for his performances of Jurassic Park and The Patriot Threat, and has twice been named the Publishers Weekly Narrator of the Year. As an avid fan of old-time radio shows, Brick naturally took to audiobooks, saying, “It’s storytelling at its purest.” He pays attention to detail, prepares diligently, and holds himself to a high standard—so much so that after obsessing for years over a mispronounced name in his The Lion’s Game recording, he leapt at the chance to re-record it.

Excellent haunted house story!

Jonathan Maberry gifts us with a fantastic story of the house that's to good to be true, and the realtor's warning that should be heeded. Scott Brick is fantastic narrating as usual.

Not your average lullaby

I’m a huge fan of Mayberry’s Joe Ledger series. This short story is a great, haunting listen. I’ve never been let down by anything I’ve read by this author. The only thing missing here is Ray Porter. ;)

well written, but in the end was generally upsetting in a way that just felt kinda miserable.

Disturbing

Dark and difficult to listen to being a mother. I felt my own throat closing up and tears welling in my eyes!!! Awful!!

Rivetting

Truly amazing. I was on the edge of my seat from the start. Even though the events are mildly predictable, this is a perfect thing for this story. It's predictable in the way that you're lead by the suspense, fearing what you know will come, with just enough twists to lull you into a false sense of safety before things actually happen. Absolutely worth the listen.

Well done.

Short but captivating story. Really good but still so sad about what happened to Hope.

It was an okay short story

My daughter and I both thought it was an okay book. Too similar to other ghost stories.

Interesting, but glad it’s free

I got this for free, it’s short, but kept my attention when I was multitasking. I liked it, but don’t use a credit, wait for it to be on sale or make sure you buy it cheap. Fun for Halloween, nothing too scary, sexual or violent for teens too.
