Publisher's summary

Welcome to Askergan County, where the last murder was committed more than a decade ago.

Tucked away in northeastern Vermont, picturesque Askergan County is the perfect place for a winter vacation - for the lucky few who know about it. Askergan is so peaceful, crime so nonexistent, that they don't even have a full-time police force, just a Sheriff and two deputies who spend most of their time dishing out parking tickets and breaking up the occasional bar fight.

But that was before the storm.

A blizzard suddenly descends on the county, trapping Cody Lawrence and his young family inside their home. At first their only concerns are to stay inside and keep warm. But Cody soon finds out that there is more to fear than just snow and ice. Something has been unleashed by the storm, something ancient, something evil. Something with primal needs.

When the power goes out and they lose cell phone service, Cody realizes that his family's only chance of survival is to team up with the dysfunctional sheriff's department and head out into the snow to face the very thing that so desperately needs their skin.

Welcome to Askergan County, where the last murder was committed yesterday, today, an hour ago, a minute ago.

Will be haunted by that voice for days

I love a good scare. I especially love when a book delivers and keeps me thinking about the story for days. Excellent job by the author Patrick Logan to flesh out (pun intended) characters that we realistic. The icing on the cake were the voices and sound effects by Michael Pauley. His ability to give each character their own style that reflect their own personality heightened the enjoyment!

Good Terror

I love horror books. This book had gore, violence and suspenseful terror. I have both kindle edition and audiobook but enjoyed listening to the narrator as he made it seem real, good thing I was not listening to it when we lost power for 3days and 2 ft. of snow a couple of years back. Loved the characters especially Cody, Oxford, and Alice, hated Marley. Also recommend his series (The Haunted) to anyone who enjoys horror and ghosts.

Great book.

On the bright side, I loved listening to your scary story. On the bad side, the narrator was so monotone, I thought it was a computer. Please use someone who acts out the characters and doesn't just read the words.

Fun

It took a bit to get used to the readers voice, but once I did he bought the story alive for me. This book was a fun scare. I am now purchasing the next book and can't wait to dive in!

I have a new favorite Author!

I devoured "Skin". Pun intended. I live in a small Vermont border town so I can relate to the setting, tone, and terror that is enhanced by the weather conditions. I don't like to give away too much so I will only say that if you enjoy a good plot, some chills, some gore thrown in, and enough characters with flaws to make them seem believable. Then you are in for a treat!

I do not understand the rave reviews

Would you try another book from Patrick Logan and/or Michael Pauley?

maybe

Would you be willing to try another book from Patrick Logan? Why or why not?

perhaps with a different narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

had an annoying habit of up inflecting at the end of the sentence and a false wavering voice trying to make it more scary. He was trying way to hard to make the book spooky. Came across as false and annoying.

Do you think Skin needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Don't really care... it was OK but hardly terrifying

Skip to the end!

A huge disappointment. I have listened to 5 hours of the 9 hours and 12 minutes. There are 5 different sets of people. They have been introduced and something critical has happen where they must go out in the snow. There is a sinister moan, where everyone hears something different within the moan. The moan is preceded by an eerie silence or dear and other animals stampeding.

A character will encounter a sinister situation and them we are off to others. The sheriff was put in a sinister situation in chapter 9. I am in chapter 33 (out of 77 chapters) and still waiting to see what happen to him.

This has taken too long to get to any action. Even with my cozy mysteries have something happens quickly. I need some action or witty repartee to hold my interest. The little snap shots of the characters do not give enough time to invest in any character.

Everyone has heard the moan and I am tired of being bored. Good luck to you if you finish it.

I did skip to the end and was not impressed with that either.

Engaging story with fantastic narration

The combination of narration and story made this novel terrifying. Fantastic work and a must for horror fans.
