The Fear Institute

The Johannes Cabal Novels, Book 3

De: Jonathan L. Howard

Narrado por: Nicholas Guy Smith

The third novel in the acclaimed cult-favorite series starring necromancer Johannes Cabal.

Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back once more. This time, his talents are purchased by the Fear Institute as they hunt for the phobic animus - the embodiment of fear. The three institute members, led by Cabal and his silver key, enter the Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that feed on human flesh, and phobias that torment and devastate. The intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic, finds himself alone with the institute's only remaining survivor, and after a shockingly violent experiment, begins to suspect that not everything is quite as it seems.

The perfect voice for Cabal

I loved this series when I read the first two. This guy has the perfect voice for Johannes, and captures the essence of the book brilliantly.

exceptional

more fun twists in this story.. sets a mind to thinking. and who doesn't love that

Ignore the Chimps

Seriously, there are some really stupid people in this world. Just read any of the bad reviews for his book if you need proof.

Lovecraft? Okay

So he went full Lovecraft on this one. It's good, but expect what you are gonna get. Having Lovecraft open as you listen might help. But don't worry - it's worth it.

Good

I liked the story but still not as funny or entertaining ass the first book.

love it

can't stress enough the joy I feel while listening to this book series. can't wait for next book!

Good

I really liked the story, but the pacing of the narration was a bit too fast.

I've enjoyed all the books in the series thus far.

I loved it really, it pulls me in everytime this is now my favorite series I've listened to and I know I'll go back and listen again.

He is Back!

I, as many others would say, loved the first book and felt as if the second book was not a true successor to the first. It lacked the dark mystery and anti-heroism of the first Cabal story. I am happy to say that I loved the third installment and can’t wait to get to the next one!

Excellent story, excellent performance

This series is complex, entertaining, and endlessly enjoyable in print, and while the first 2 as audiobooks are great, NGS will forever remain the voice of Johannes Cabal in my head. Excellent job all around if you have a taste for hilarious Lovecraftian indulgences.
