After a long day of prepping a house for painting, all Gus Berry wanted was the night off to spend some time with his girlfriend and relax before having to return to work the next morning. But that isn’t going to happen. Because Gus’s co-worker Benny has found a one-night job at the local Mollymart East, a job that has to be done by morning. If Gus and his paint crew can complete the work by then, it could mean huge business with a respected, established grocery store chain.

Suffering from writer's block, novelist Rachel Ames escapes to a lake cabin to calm her mind and regain a sense of herself. The location is perfect. Isolated. Beautiful. Inspiring. It even comes with a good-looking landlord who shows an interest in her. But she can't shake the sense that something terrible has followed her to the lake, something just beyond her consciousness, something out on the edge where the sounds of a raging fire and sirens linger whenever she slows down to listen.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

The Hospital- What a Fun Short Story!
Thanks for my first taste of the Mountain Man and his fight against “Gimps” and psycho humans alike! This story was crazy scary, funny, and a great new spin on fighting Zombies!
Also, enjoyed the preview of the Mountain Man Series! I’ll be back for more!

40 ROLLS OF ASS CLEANING GOODNESS
If my headline bothers you, stop now, you will hate this book. Augustus Berry is not the most cultured of men. He is fat, balding and loves to drink himself to a stupor. He has no military experience (how unique is that for a Zombie book.), he survives, because he has watched enough horror movies to know the correct way to behave in an apocalypse.
This is gory, scary and smelly. Yea, you will smell things you don't want to smell. It is not just bloody and gory, it is very scary. Watch out for the Stephen King's "Misery" scene, but mostly watch out for the babies!!
At the time I am writing, this is free. Get this in your library before someone changes their mind. This is the best short story I have listened to, Paid for, or otherwise in a long time.
R.C. Bray is one of those narrators that is the tipping point for a book, when you are trying to decide if you should purchase.

Hilarious. The Audiobook equivalent of "The Room"
Had Tommy Wiseu been born in Alabama, and decided to write short horror stories instead of making films, then something like this is what he would write. Its endearingly bad in that special way where a work accidentally reveals info about its creator. Its a mary sue novel, but instead of being written by some angsty tween ,its written by someone who day drinks during work and I love it

Your worse fears about hospitals and then some!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because it is a nice short and sharp story. With excellent narration and it will leave the listener wanting more!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain Man Story?
I like how the main character does a roving commentary of his plans and habits
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Another one of Bray's excellent works. I buy books now sorely because of his narration
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Attack of the blood sucking babies
Any additional comments?
Just download it! And you may as well download the followup book. I just wish the author would write the next one!

Not Sure About This Series?
I got this after listening to the Mountain Man and I get why the reviews for The Hospital are on the average side. In the Hospital you get a taste of who Gus is but just a taste. Do yourself a favor and get The Mountain Man. You'll get to know Gus better and enjoy Mr. Blackmore's fine story telling skills. I really liked that story and I am looking forward to more of the Mountain Man.

Not for me
I just couldn't like this one. While the narrator does a good job with the story, the story itself just didn't suit my tastes. It is well thought out, and very unlike most of the zombie drivel that is put out anymore. However, the parts that try to frighten merely end up being a squishy mess. The more suspenseful parts work well, but the horror turns out to be just the opposite.

The story is rather gruesome, though one wonders whether the narrative would have quite the same effect without being so graphic. On the whole I enjoyed this. The general premise is that Gus Berry is in need of supplies, and the hospital has what he wants. In his way, however, are various zombie creatures within the hospital and around, intent on feeding on his flesh.
I've put more of the 'Mountain Man' on my wish list. Recommended.

Dark zombie short story
This is quite a dark, gory zombie tale.
Darker than the Walking Dead, In my opinion. Some of the aspects of the story seem to be in there just for shock value. Not really my taste, I won't bother with any more in the series.

Very discriptive
What made the experience of listening to The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story the most enjoyable?
I thought it was very descriptive, and held my interest even though I wasn't sure what to expect next. It is not a book I should have listened to driving home on my own on a dark wet night. But saying that I then sat up in bed listening to the end because I needed to know what happened.
What other book might you compare The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to, and why?
Can honestly say it was as scarey as Dean Coombes Watchers. They are not my normal read.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
Excellent performance
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me hold my breathe in suspense. Makes your heart beat fast. Not good when driving
Any additional comments?
I needed to Finnish the book but won't be listening to it again, that is just me just not in my comfort zone.

Easy reading
If you just want something to while the hours away then this will do you fine.... It lacks the elegance of others in its genre but the basics are there and it's very easy to get into the main character..

Excellent - have already download Mountain Man!
Any additional comments?
A very gripping intro to the series introducing the main character and environment. I have already bought Mountain Man before my credits rolled over as I couldn't wait to get stuck in.

Brilliant Marketing Strategy
If you could sum up The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story in three words, what would they be?
It made buying the Mountain Man Saga "a must".
What other book might you compare The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to, and why?
This was my first book in this genre (even though I love The Walking Dead TV series). This book is superbly written and narrated and is very similar to the Mountain Man series.
Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favourite?
Crazy Alice. R.C. Bray is by far my favourite audio book "narrator" - when he performs a character I actually forget it's the same guy narrating and start to "buy into" the character as a real person. Bray's portrayal of crazy Alice was amazing. I really believed it was a woman and a crazy one at that. Just brilliant.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Definitely.
Any additional comments?
I don't know who's idea it was to give away for free this chapter/scene from the Mountain Man saga but it is a piece of marketing genius. This is not the type of book I would read or listen to but I thought I'd give it a try as it was free and R.C.Bray was narrating it (a brilliant narrator). Not only did this free sample force me into getting the first 3 books but it actually introduced me to this genre.

babies... BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was so f****** scary. It gave me the extended TWD episodes (you remember that one of the special short's with the nurse, right?), kinda vibe, but it was original in a completely different way. The sense of urgency and terror was very well written and enjoyable to read, it was both relatable and terrifying, and the characters were well fleshed out too. I was very lucky that this story was a free one, because I immediately bought the whole series, it looks like it will be quite a read, so will keep you posted!
If you want to try and see if this style of writing and exposition is your cup of tea, give it a go! You will not regret it.

A dark and gory zombie survivor tale
What did you like best about The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story? What did you like least?
I love zombie apocalypse/outbreak films so this was pretty much like every one of those types of films. It was dark, atmospheric and I felt on edge listening to the description of the hospital. The bit I liked the least was some of the gore; at least on film this is over and done fairly quickly and you can look away but some of the detailed descriptions were a bit overwhelming for me.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I liked that for ONCE, the central character actually has some brains and has made themselves a bite-proof outfit that particularly guards the neck and limbs. My god, after all the zombie films I've seen over the years, mountain man gets it right. It gets taken off him at one point but the fact is, he had it. I also liked that he's built his house in the tree tops in a totally remote area far away from the zombie infected city. This guy is serious about survival.
Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favourite?
I liked the narration, I thought it was well-suited to this type of novella.
Did The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to think about my zombie apocalypse survival plan.
Any additional comments?
This was a decent offering for free. It's just over an hour long and it gives you a very very generous look in to the next book in the series. It's very different to my normal reading fare but I enjoyed it.

the hospital by kieth c. Blackmore. narrated by R.C. Bray
Its a story that takes you into a nowhere land of a post apocalyptic knightmare of one mans struggle against insurmountable odds. Maniac nurses, zombie babies and zombie's . I enjoyed evey minute of the journey in this mans company. I felt his fear and frustration of being the only sane person in this chaotic post apocalyptic world. I can't wait to read or listen to the rest of the story.

Great
Would you consider the audio edition of The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to be better than the print version?
Yes. I love that the story gets told so well
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Keeps up the momentum through the other stories
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The gore factor and the way he describes so was but so gross but great narration throughout the book. I was intrigued to know more of this story
Any additional comments?
I brought the 2nd one because I need to know what happens

Over the top gore
It's a zombie book so I guess... what do you expect? Not truly brutal or shocking, just gore and cliche horror type character/monsters to the point where it's cheesy. It's a bit of a pity because it was OK before it went over the top.

Tries too hard to be gruff and manly, still good
Basic writing skills clearly demonstrated by the choice of stories / adventures the character goes through. Everything you would expect from a survival zombies book. I still enjoy it nonetheless. I guess the choice of performer is suited to the main character. I'd probably pick up the next in the series if there is any.

Thrilling and gripping
Kept me wanting more and kept me guessing. Bits of humour helped break up the darkness. Narration was great. Helped keep the suspense alive.
