The Eaton

De: John K. Addis

Narrado por: Jeff Hays

Spanning over 100 years of mid-Michigan history, The Eaton tells the story of Sam Spicer, a young entrepreneur who purchases the dilapidated Michigan Central Railroad Depot in Eaton Rapids with the dream of opening a hot new martini bar. But when he and his friends discover an abandoned underground hotel directly beneath the property, they must discover what happened to the original guests—before their own time runs out.

The Eaton is the debut novel of John K. Addis, and combines a flashback-based narrative structure with the gruesome style of '80s horror classics, creating a unique new voice critics are calling "fresh, original, and truly terrifying."

a must listen

I must listen if you like horror and fantasy. a well written piece of fiction. I wait to see what this author is going to come up with next. I love finding these little jewels. also listen to the afterward at the end. some great about the author.

It was that good

I've probably listened to 100 audible books and this is my first written review because it was that good. It is Addis's first book and I enjoyed it thoroughly, well done, edgy, different, write more, thank you man!

Soooo...

Based on the flashbacks mixed with the events at the hotel, I wanted all of the characters to be murdered about 3 hours in, I despised the characters the more I got to know them, well except maybe 1 or 2. There is a decent horror aspect, but it mostly turns into me rooting for whatever is going on to just kill everyone lol....I'm not a serial killer i swear :-P

After completing this book. It is a true to honor horror story. As the story got closer to the end, I became less focused on my irritation with the characters and more focused on the horror of the nemesis which overpowered any focus of irritation on the characters.

All in all, a solid horror story

I couldn't finish it

The characters weren't anyone I cared about. The story was a bit trite like Poseidon Adventure, Alien... At the point when I realized that I didn't care if the characters died I stopped reading it.

the Eaton

This is a good old classic horror story, I enjoyed it, the one complaint and reason I gave it four stars instead of five, is a scene near the end. I won't throw in a spoiler, but I will say, I feel the author could have reveled how the depravity of these two bully cousins had no bounds, a little differently. I wanted to skip forward because it was horribly obvious what was gonna happen, but I didn't want to miss something important. It was in poor taste and I find myself still upset about it.
That said, if you like a good horror story, this will fill that need. Enjoy :)
