Wretchedness

De: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrado por: Jake Urry

Once it takes hold, it never lets go...

Like an illness, fear spreads. Healthy minds are withered by paranoia. Can anything stop the contagion?

A peculiar tablet unearthed in a Middle Eastern ossuary provokes madness in those who encounter it. One by one, people come under the tablet's sway and are subjected to horrific visions and dreams. In time, the tablet's true purpose becomes clear: It is the harbinger of an eons-dead god whose reemergence will steep the world in terror and suffering. Having put the pieces together, two men race against the clock and attempt to disrupt the terrifying work of an ancient cult.

Wretchedness is a full-length novel of supernatural terror by Ambrose Ibsen.

BEST IBSEN YET

Any additional comments?

I cannot say enough good things about the work of Ambrose Ibsen. His stuff is just right up my ally - sophisticated and satisfying paranormal stories and "Wretchedness" was by far the best one yet! This story had several interweaving plot lines that made for a complex and interesting listen. Not only that, but the paranormal concept was one I hadn't come across before (which is pretty impressive seeing as almost every instance of "ghosts" has become a total cliche). I won't say anymore for fear of spoilers. I will say, though, that if you are even vaguely interested in paranormal stories, you should really give "Wretchedness" a shot - it's absolutely fantastic. Jake Urry is phenomenal, as always!

Most Creepy Book Ever!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wretchedness to be better than the print version?

Definitely the audio is better as the reader has the perfect voice to creep you out and make your skin crawl!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the dreadful feeling of waiting for the horrible things to happen as the reader was getting to the scary parts.

Which character – as performed by Jake Urry – was your favorite?

Can't decide. He did them all perfectly. I could picture them each in my mind.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely. Once I was in "the zone" it was hard to do anything else.

Any additional comments?

The absolutely PERFECT reader for this chilling tale.

Haunted tablet

Typically I like Ambrose Ibsen and Jake Urry. Scary tales with a spooky voice. Jake does a great job but I didn't really care for the story. I hope it was me and not the story but I didn't find myself interested in it and often thought where is this going. Most of Ibsen stories are haunting but this one didn't hold my attention or spook me. The story was unique and I appreciate that.

Not this writer's best

I am a fan of Ibsen, but this book was super weird. It had its creepy moments, but like I said was super weird. This book was hard for me to enjoy and finish.

Another scary, edge of your seat thriller that's full of suspense for the listener. This book held me in its grip to the very end. Please keep the " Wretchedness" away from me.




The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Jake Urry voices this genre excellently!
