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.

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

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.

INSANE

An extreme horror reader becomes obsessed with an author…what could go wrong? Athan explored this idea in this novel, and what comes of it is INSANE (I mean that as compliment to Athan). As usual, Jon takes real world scenarios and puts the most extreme, horrific spin on them, and it scares the crap out of me (which is extremely hard to do). The creativity he shows although each of his novels, this one being no exception, is impressive, and gruesome.
I listened to this one, and the narrator did a fantastic job really conveying the horrors that Jon laid out for us.
If you like extreme horror, Jon Athan should be your go to…and this book is a great place to start.

The gory details are amazing

This book was good but I wish it had a little more violence in it to really take it there. I enjoyed it though it’s really good and the storytelling is amazing!

Fantastically depraved….PERFECT!!!!🤘🏻

Love the super vivid descriptions of the extremely engrossing mutilations!!🔪 (If you smile when reading my twisted praise, do NOT let this one get by!!! MUST READ FOR FANS OF THE GENRE!!! And of course to the upmost talented author Mr. Jon Athan: My 3rd read from your lovely collection, dear sir. I cannot rightfully express to you how oh, so very fond of your books I have become! The time that you take with each individual within each story, let alone the entire story in itself, is not just evident but VERY much appreciated by the reader (AKA me😉) The characters are extremely relatable which is, I believe anyway, necessary when writing to the “extremes” as you do. Thank you, once again for gracing me with another fantastically depraved book!! Look forward to reading my next one!!

Love this one

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