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.

Damn…

I’m gonna need a break after this one. What a crazy ride. Well done sir!

crazy paranoid or right

the story kept me engaged trying to decide if it was true as he saw it or as his wife and everyone else saw it. the gore was extreme but appropriate for the subject if I have one negative thing to say it is with the performance. the over the top attempt at female and baby voices was a bit much. can stand to tone that down a bit.

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
