Loved it

Loved the book. It’s got neat twists. Will listen to it again in the near future

Strong Story of Gothic Horror

While a slow start this story is excellent, closing strongly with a mystery that turns into a phone booth knife fight for survival between man and monster.

Interesting, but ending was lacking

I found the book to be an entertaining murder mystery and I liked the depth of the characters. At the end, I found the open-ended finale a bit underwhelming and I didn't feel there was a good explanation regarding the existence of Malcan. However, perhaps that is what one should expect from a Ravenloft novel.

Classic Ravenloft …gothic D&D at its finest!

As a fan of gothic horror and a D&D enthusiast Ravenloft is awesome and novels like this, published by TSR back in the day are well worth a listen (or read). Beware the mist!

The mists

I liked The Enemy Within. It's world building characters and atmosphere were some of the best in the ravenloft series. But after I listened to the story, I felt as if there was some important part to the book that I had missed. The ending is true to this as it leaves unresolved problems and many questions unanswered. Maybe that was the intended effect. To subject the listener to the same dark forces that corrupted once good rulers to shadowy lords ruling over realms of dread. In the end leaving them with more questions than answers and with less than what they started with.
