Dwelling

Subdue, Book 1

De: Thomas S. Flowers

Narrado por: Rick Gregory

A group of inseparable childhood friends are now adults, physically and psychologically devastated by war....

A horrifying creature emerges from a sandstorm just before Ricky Smith dies in battle. Forced to leave base housing, his widow Maggie buys a home on Oak Lee Road in the town of Jotham. Maggie is isolated in the historic house...and disconcerted by strange clicking sounds inside the walls.

Jonathan Steele attempts to drink the painful past away....

Jonathan was wounded in that fateful battle and now suffers from PTSD. He wants to put the nightmare behind him, but when Ricky's ghost appears with cryptic warnings about Maggie's house, he begins to question his sanity.

Bobby Weeks is a homeless veteran struggling with a lycanthropic curse....

Afraid of bringing harm, Bobby stays far away from those he loves. But after a full moon, a mysterious woman approaches him and reveals a vision about a house with a sinister presence, and he realizes staying away might no longer be an option.

Minister Jake Williams lost his faith on the battlefield....

While Jake will do anything to reconnect with God, he turns to vices to fill the religious void. But a church elder urges him to take a sabbatical, and a ghost tells him to quit the ministry, and his life is more out of control than ever.

When Maggie wakes in a strange subterranean cavern, she can't deny her home harbors dark secrets. Desperate, she sends letters to her old friends to reunite in Jotham, and events conspire to draw them all to the house...unaware of the danger awaiting them.

The friends have already been through hell, but can any of them survive the evil dwelling beneath the House on Oak Lee?

PTSD for the rest of us

Something about Rick Gregory's voice takes me to another place. I hear him and also hear his characters. His narrator voice and character voice is unique and I love all of it. This story focuses mainly on five friends, namely one with PTSD, a wife who lost her husband but who isn't quite gone, one who found faith but lost it, and one who is lost and may be something else, I really was brought into the life of these soldiers. All of them have an integral part of the story.

The story is a hodgepodge of past and present, over viewing the lives of a few friends. Other than explaining the haunting I assume one has after going to war there isn't much "scare" until the end. This book, is in my mind, is where the character development starts and the following books are where the rest of the story takes off. Great start and lead off; but;, once you get there it ends abruptly. Now to wait for the next chapter. Looking forward to it. This book is leading to something great. Maybe lycans, maybe insectman, mabye even a ghost in the basement. All roads are possible.

Listen to this first story and stick with it. I hope the next includes the same narrator, Rick does a great job.

As a veteran myself, I felt like I could relate to how the things you see can change you. The characters are developed and the emotion in this book felt very real. I liked the paranormal aspects too. I'll definitely look for more in this series.

Patience pays off

It took a minute (a while) to get into this book, but knowing Thomas Flowers and trusting him to be a good writer, I wanted to stick it out. The war-torn histories of the characters were depressing, and it's no wonder they were bitter, pissed off and suicidal. Thomas Flowers has a great imagination and a wonderful ear for dialog.

Rick Gregory is no stranger to horror and he's done a great job on a number of other books. I listened carefully and he held my attention well.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
