It has many names: Bigfoot...Yeti...Sasquatch. But whatever it is, it’s out there in the woods and leaving a trail of blood and severed heads behind it. For John Moon, a half-mad Indian, it is a spirit that holds the key to his inner self. He worships its power and he’ll kill to protect it. Desperate, exhausted, half-starved, Moon will follow it wherever it goes. For Raymond Jason, killing it has become an obsession. He was the only survivor of a hunting trip to the Rockies where the hunters became the monster’s prey.

It was just an ordinary garbage dump on peaceful Cape Cod. No one ever imagined that conditions were perfect for breeding, that it was a warm womb, fetid, moist, and with food so plentiful that everything creeping, crawling, and slithering could gorge to satiation. Then a change in poison control was made, resulting in an unforeseen mutation. Now the giant mutant cockroaches are ready to leave their nest - in search of human flesh!

Carlotta Moran, a young single mother with three children, suddenly has her life turned upside down when she begins to be attacked in her bed each night, violated by a spectral rapist. This brutal unseen force makes attempts on her life and terrorizes her children, but the worst part is that no one believes her.

"But come back soon", the sign said. Obviously it was a lie. The people in the grocery store just wanted to make sure he couldn't buy the spice he needed to make the recipe he'd selected for that night (recipes must be followed exactly). Obviously they wanted him to eat out...to meet the waitress, Marta, to see her horrible, unspeakable, unbearable ugliness. It was obvious to him: her maimed, twisted face was the living desire to be dead. He had to help Marta be dead.

Fright Dreams
I struggled through this book and really had to force myself to see it all the way through. I liked the premise and enjoyed some of the hellish scenes, but had a hard time staying focused as it jumped around quite a bit and just confused me more than I cared for. I love 80's horror and this definitely epitomizes that style, to include the often incoherent plot line. Definitely has the 80's science fiction horror feel that many will enjoy, especially the characters and dream sequences.
The main reason I picked up this book was Joe Hempel. He is a great narrator and I usually can add an extra star just because of how well he brings the story to life. He did a valiant effort, but for me the story was just too convoluted to really become one that I would want to listen to again. But who knows, maybe I will and will like it more.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Fun with unexpected character moments
Though I expected the paperback version of an 80s slasher movie, Stage Fright delivered a bit more. A Sci fi premise. Unexpected character development of those who try to stop the killings, and those the killer takes aim at. A surprisingly sympathetic villain. As for the narration, Garrett Boatman does a good job differentiating each character, giving them personality. Recommended. Full disclosure: this book was provided free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.
