Shared by Two

De: Jon Athan

Narrado por: Beau Thomas

Nestor Castle—a bestselling, award-winning extreme horror author—has the perfect life, having transitioned from indie darling to mainstream success. Although he dislikes the limelight, he finds comfort cooped up in his lake house with his loving wife and healthy daughter. However, after announcing his next book—a departure from the horror genre—he finds himself targeted by a disgruntled fan who calls himself ‘Butterfly.’

Butterfly’s messages grow more aggressive, more disturbing, and more threatening each time. When strange occurrences start happening around him, Nestor begins to fear that he is being stalked and he starts to suspect everyone—his agent, his neighbors, the deliveryman, his wife.

Who is Butterfly?

Jon Athan, the author of The Groomer and Lovesick, brings you a psychological horror novel with an extreme edge. There is a fine line between fan and fanatic. Will you cross it?

Just gets better and better

Jon Athan's Shared by Two was really good. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I was getting angry at some of the characters' actions. And I find that to be a quality. like when you're watching a movie and yelling at the characters, HES BEHIND YOU!!! The moment from Scream when Jamie Kennedy is doing exactly that. That's the kind of fun I had with this story.
The fact that this story was so meta, had me feeling proud of myself for drawing the connections between the reference material and the story. Lots of Easter eggs.
The ending was crazy. Loved it. Can't wait for more.

Wow!

I am so impressed by this book and the narrator! The story was so unique and gory, I LOVED IT. Jon Athan did an amazing job with this book. I was on my toes the entire time, not knowing whether or not our main character was an unreliable character or if he was really experiencing the things happening around him. But the narrator?! AMAZING.

**SMALL SPOILER**
In the chapter where Nestor's wife encounters Harrison was phenomenal, Beau Thomas did a fantastic job voicing Harrison mimicking Nestor's voice. I was so intrigued, impressed and terrified. I can hear both Harrison and Nestor's voice merged together and it was trippy. The book was great but this narrator took me on a whole journey. I need to listen to more audible books narrated by Beau, I hope he narrates more books in the future.

Fantastic

I’m going to say this, and I do not say this lightly, this is the best extreme horror book i have ever read/listened to and i have read A LOT of them. The writing in this is absolutely superb and I am now so interested in looking into more books from this author. Only thing I will say is if you have a weak stomach, this one is NOT for you. But for us horror lovers, this is a masterpiece. I am usually very numb to horror and a lot of themes to it and I rarely find myself “scared”. but man did this book make me wince and i even had to put it down a couple times to “recollect” myself. 10/10

Narrator

Probably gonna be the only book of yours that I listen to, could only get through it in hope that the killer would die, still a good performance and lots of gory detail, if I wasn’t a dad of a 1 year old I’d probably have enjoyed this more.

Bloody perfection!!!

This book is insane! Brilliant story, and what a fantastic choice for narrator! The voice gave me the absolute ick!!! It's definitely one of my top reads from Athan so far.

Great storyline, tons of gore...exactly what I have come to expect from this author. The gore is a lot, so please be mindful of that when grabbing your own copy!

Twisted minds

Great story fun to listen to the narration was really good pretty gory But I knew it, but I was getting into

Oh. My. God!

I love horror but this was beyond! Do not listen if you have a weak constitution!! This is gory and sick and I was thoroughly entertained. Let's just say you must have a sick mind to get through this...I barely did at the end but worth my time. Like a bloody train wreck that you just can't look away from.

Love this one

Great story, creepy as hell, well written and very well told. You’ve got a new fane Mr. Athan

woah!

There's nothing like jumping in with nothing feet! I've stumbled upon a genre that I didn't know existed and I don't know if I'm disgusted or delighted. As a horror fan from a very young age, I didn't really think anything could shock me anymore...but here we have it! WTG....I'm hooked.

He beat her with what??? 🤣

This was my first extreme horror audiobook, and I’m glad Jon Athan popped that cherry 🤣 That was an insane ride. I couldn’t just skim the hard parts, I had to experience the horror word for word…and it was awesome! 🤣

I heard some extremely gruesome stuff all throughout the book, but my mind goes back to the beginning with the pillowcase…you know what I’m talking about. 😬🤣

The ending was wild. Could you imagine walking in on that scene and being attacked by a man who looks like your husband? 😳🤣

Can’t forget the narration. That was fantastic as well. He was very creepy as the bad guy. He gave me Ghostface vibes.
