Story
Five days ago a rash of bizarre murders swept the country. Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected. A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike. A mass of school shootings. Prison riots of unprecedented brutality. Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state. Four Days Ago the murders increased ten-fold. Three days ago the President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace. Two days ago the killers began to mobilize. Yesterday all the power went out. Tonight....

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? When Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn face-off, the result is a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

One that's been told before
I can't help but feel disappointed. I was expecting something more, something different than a story that's been told 100 times and hasn't changed much. This town was described almost exactly like the Wayward Pine town. The whole sacrifice to keep the town profitable & free of disease thing just isn't original any more. I thought Blake would have an original way of telling this story. I love his work but not this one.
The narrator was great so it was easy to listen to. Would I recommend it to someone? Maybe... Depends on if they've already heard 20 other stories just like it. I mean I listen to & read every zombie, survivalist, apocalypse book I can find and many of them have reoccurring themes.

Just Over An Hour
Would you consider the audio edition of Perfect Little Town to be better than the print version?
Oooops, I never did 'read' Perfect Little Town, only listened to the audio book.
What do you think your next listen will be?
The Stone Man - (Luke Smithard) I'm listening to it right now.
Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I just looked through and it seems this is the first by this person.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not 'extreme'. It somewhat reminds me of an old Twilight Zone script.
Any additional comments?
It's only just over an hour long. But I can say I'm happy with it. I can see it being a Made For T.V. movie. I'd watch it. I mean don't expect intensely developed personalities and so on. But for what it was it's alright.

What Happened Blake? Did you get hand cramp?
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better story. Gosh, it started out so well, but then it turned to mush.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Probably another Blake Crouch from this genre. I go through A LOT of audio books and listen to many different genres, but BC keeps popping up for me. Usually he is really engaging.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Eric G. Dove?
Yes
What character would you cut from Perfect Little Town?
None
Any additional comments?
So, this is a short story. I have purchased all of Blake's books and most of his short stories because sometimes I just want a quick fix of thriller. He sometimes goes too far into gory details for me, but I really like his twists in difficult situations and he has blazoned my mind with some thrilling scenes, so I'm prepared to overpay for these short stories.
Unusually, this story just ebbed out like a whimpering, injured idea. WHAT HAPPENED? The story was going along so well and I was genuinely curious to know what the main character would do when he got out alive...and then a sloppy, lazy PG ending. Urgh, what a shame. WHAT A SHAME. If you're reading this and are considering one of his shorts, the *69 short story is really great, much better than this one. This one started out great but prematurely ejaculated. I AM SO ANNOYED BLAKE. SO ANNOYED.

Modern take on an old story
Most of us had to read a famous American short story in Eighth or Ninth grade. I wonder if it's still required reading in English classes? Anyway, won't reveal that story as it would be a spoil this story. Needless to say Perfect Little Town is very reminiscent of that story, but in a more modern setting. Performance was very good, and it had a quirky, not what you'd expect ending, but not an original idea.

Nothing great but not bad
It's short, so you have little invested. I was expecting more. Something insane. But nothing with a single, lone exception midway through. I love the author, but I'd probably skip this unless you are looking specifically for something just over an hour in length.

Amazing..............
I was skeptical at first when I saw the time on this book, but I was amazed at how much this book contained.
The narrator Eric Dove did a wonderful job keeping the characters and story alive. He was able to draw you into the story very well. He also gave each character and different voice, which I find a wonderful contribution.
Blake Crouch did a wonderful job at (what felt like) making you feel this was a full novel.
To me it also felt refreshing that Mr. Crouch brought the characters and story full circle.
Each character had a sufficient background, the story kept you wanting more, I'd even enjoy a second book especially if it was a full novel. Even if it was a prequel, is be interested in more of the towns history.
Thank you for reading my review.

Good story but very short
Wish I had realized this was a short story before purchasing audible narration. This is more like the beginning of a story that was suddenly ended then a full story. A couple on vacation go into a town which happens to be the nights town of soltice. The town turns against them. Which could have been a great book as I enjoyed what I read but was dissapointed that the idea didn't seem to be fully carried out or finished. Narration good but to me not worth the price.

I guess I expected more from this author. Not worth a credit though.
