The Forever Show

By: Marcus Damanda

Narrated by: Jessica McEvoy

In Mayfield, Delaware, the carnival is in town. Seventeen-year-old Lexi Cartwright, daughter of the local deputy sheriff and leading lady of her high school drama club, expects nothing more from her weekend than a few hours of fun, and perhaps a kiss from Eddie Ross.

But for Lexi - and for the rest of the 11th Hour Players - the real monsters aren't in the Pavilion of the Unusuals, and the real terror isn't on the Ferris wheel. It's lurking in the Funhouse. Meet the family. Casper's family.

On Friday night, they will disobey their orders. They will incur the wrath of the Cabal, and they will be destroyed...unless, before the sun rises on Sunday morning, they can turn Lexi Cartwright into one of them. Before the night is over, Lexi will have to make a choice: die, or kill forever.

Let The Forever Show begin.

What is that in the dark?

Would you consider the audio edition of The Forever Show to be better than the print version?

I loved the audio version. Her voice could not have been better.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It was dark and twisted.

Which character – as performed by Jessica McEvoy – was your favorite?

My favorite character changed throughout the story.
Jessica gave a distinct personality to each.
Marcus wrote them very thoroughly and interesting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was too long for me to finish it in one sitting.
This took several days.

Amazing characters, best vampires ever!!!

What did you love best about The Forever Show?

Each character has a unique supernatural quality. Narrative and descriptive language very fun and different. A real breath of fresh, scary air. A great escape from a genre usually filled with pulp and soap opera nonsense. Fun to root for the bad guys for a change.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters were my favorite aspect of the storytelling. Really cool vampires.

Which character – as performed by Jessica McEvoy – was your favorite?

Summer

If you could rename The Forever Show, what would you call it?

I wouldn't rename it! Perfect title.

Any additional comments?

What an amazing ending, really leaves me wanting more!!

Always keeping the pace up

Marcus always keeps the pace going. never much of a dull moment.

Jessica and Marcus make a great author/narrator duo. love their stuff

Family's beginning

I loved Marcus' Dearest Summer story(ies) from the No Sleep podcast and was very happy to see an audio book continuing the story. Jessica McEvoy is a great narrator and voice actress that really brings the story to life. I'm glad I found this!

Sometimes I kept listening because I was scared!

If you could sum up The Forever Show in three words, what would they be?

What a ride!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes! I was sucked right in. Right away two lives were drastically changed forever. I had to keep listening after that. There were so many characters and so many things going on that I got confused from time to time. Sometimes you have to listen again after you finish to catch what you missed. Well, I do anyway.

What about Jessica McEvoy’s performance did you like?

I like Jessica's narration. I've listened hundreds of audiobooks and I can usually tell if it is a narrator for me rather quickly. She is easy to listen to. She also made characters sound really young and scared (as they should) at times.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy YA books. This one fit nicely into the kind of stories that I like. I don't usually go for horror but I am glad I did this time. New author for me to like. I will definitely get the next book.
