Well worth the small investment of time

What made the experience of listening to The Him Deep Down the most enjoyable?

It was a well-done story that, while not exceedingly long, manages to pack in a fair bit of storytelling. The narrator's performance took me a few minutes to get into, but once I did I completely enjoyed her work.

What other book might you compare The Him Deep Down to and why?

Hard to say. I don't read a lot of books like this.

Have you listened to any of Julie Hoverson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I had not heard this narrator before. Her performance was enjoyable and immersive. She did extremely well with the material.

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

Yes and probably could.

Any additional comments?

The author is a friend of mine and honestly that's why I read the book. Having said that, he does a wonderful job telling "another zombie story" that really isn't. The closest comparison I can make is the Walking Dead comic. The zombies are a prop for telling a story about people. Well worth your time and money.

Excellent

A group of survivors underestimated their next victim
Well narrated and perfect for killing an hour

Creepy apocalyptic short story

Great creepy, gory, interesting apocalyptic short story. Enough details to get invested, but not distract from the story. The narrator did a great job.

The Him deep down

This was a gross but good book.True twisted horror! Julie Hoverson was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Great Story but...

The narrator is remarkably annoying with some of the voices. A male narrator at the beginning would have done better justice to the characters. Glad I decided to power through.

Another fine tale from Mr. West!

What did you love best about The Him Deep Down?

It was written by Terry M. West and as always Terry writes a fine tale of horror.

What did you like best about this story?

Entertaining from beginning to end.

Have you listened to any of Julie Hoverson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I did at times find her voice to be kind of nerve wracking. I believe a male narrator would have been better. But that's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

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

Yes, I listened to the whole thing from beginning to end.

Any additional comments?

The voice actor was very talented despite the times I found her to be a bit nervy.

Different Kind Of Zombie

I was given this book for free at my request and I am providing this honest review voluntarily.

A zombie apocalypse & a few survivors find that it's better to ask before you take & manners are very important in a zombie riddled world. One finds out that sometimes you need to stop protecting someone that's absolutely wrong, even if he's your brother. A lesson is learned, just because someone is old doesn't mean they are weak!

I really liked this story & wish it was longer! Really original story too with the zombie element.

The narrator did great with the voice of the old lady & the story telling narration, but the male voices lacked sounded forced to much. She did great with the southern draws too!

I definitely recommend this book!!

A zombie tale of the monster within

A zombie tale with a twist. Some of us have monsters within is. Some of us have a loved one who harbors that monster in them and since we love them we protect them and cover for their darkness. Some of us wear that monster right out in the open on our skin, what you see is what you get. This is a tale of all of those types. Well written and well narrated unique zombie story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Ugly, Stark, and Almost Perfect

Short and brutal, befitting a realistic zombie tale.
Downside: It's short. Upside: It's delightfully dark. I wish it could've gone longer, but I also can't see that adding much to the story. It's how a story should be told: long enough to tell the story you need, but not so long as to dilute its intensity. Well done, Lutzke and West.
