Publisher's summary

Multiple Bram Stoker Award and multiple Dragon Award finalist Michaelbrent Collings brings you a terror-filled trip to the one place where nightmares are the only reality...

Welcome to the town of Rising.

A place where everyone knows everyone else.

A place where no one locks their doors.

A place where everyone's worst fears...are about to come true.

"The writing is superb. The characters are believable and sympathetic... the theme of a parent who’s lost a child figures strongly; it’s powerful stuff, and written from the perspective of experience that no one should ever have to suffer." - The Horror Fiction Review

Really great book

Really great story despite being narrated by virtual voice. This book was actually scary and would make a great movie!

Great book except for the virtual voice

I'm really into this genre and I thought the writing was great, the story was unique and kept me engaged. The virtual voice is why I took away some stars though. I have a pretty good imagination and was able to conjure up the feelings that were lacking in the awkward narration. I think this is worth a try, even if you're against fake narration.

Great story

While the AI voice dragged at points, it didn't take away from the story. The main characters were well developed and the listener identifies with them, but even the secondary characters resonated.

Rising Fears

This is a great book. I wish a human narrator was available to really get the scares across with human inflections. Loved the story will read more of this author.

Very Stephen King like!

The automated voice does not have as much inflection at a good reader, but it’s better than a poor reader. I like Stephen King, and bet if you like Stephen King you will like this book as well.
