Story
Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.

Story
Suffer the Children presents a terrifying tale of apocalyptic fiction, as listeners are introduced to Herod's Syndrome, a devastating illness that suddenly and swiftly kills all young children across the globe. Soon, they return from the grave, and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead. They continue to remain the children they once were, but only for a short time, as they need more blood to live. The average human body holds 10 pints of blood, so the inevitable question for parents everywhere becomes: How far would you go to bring your child back?

He's come back today to end it, no matter the cost, once and for all. Prostitute Shyla believes the stories Angel tells her can't be true. Secrets so vile, you won't want to let them inside you. But the Lonely Motel doesn't forget. It doesn't forgive. And it always claims its victim.

Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

With nothing but the clothes on his back - and something horrific snapping at his heels - Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker’s rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. Now, years later, the bright new future he’s built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead. Surviving a violent car crash seems like a miracle for Jack’s family, but Jack knows there’s nothing divine about it.

Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees.

I really wanted to like this novel.. but..

Publisher's summary
Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Blair Witch Project in this very grown-up tale of a camping trip gone horribly awry.
Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive. The Laws of the Skies tells the harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness and accidents, and of a murderous child.
Part fairy tale, part horror film, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed party, murderers and murdered alike.
Critic reviews
“The Law of the Skies is not an easy book to digest, and I’m sure it won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but I found it exhilarating to read a novel that’s this unflinching, this nihilistic, and also this deeply profound.” (Locus Magazine)
“That is what Courtois aims to do - shock and destabilize - and that is what he does in this slim novel about a children’s camping trip gone horribly wrong.” (New York Times, Summer Reads)
“Unflinching in its savagery, the nightmarish poetry of this modern Lord of the Flies is undeniable.” (Publishers Weekly)

Tragic
Like others have said, this is not for the weak of heart. (There is a lot of violence.)
In some ways, this story reminded me of Lord of the Flies and their similarities on the loss of innocence hits hard. It’s almost impossible as adults to wrap your head around the horrors of other’s terrible actions or why bad things happen, but how much more difficult is it for children to understand? This book did an excellent job exploring that concept.

Gore but hard to believe
I got this book because a tiktok recommended it haha.
The narration is eh, it takes some time to adjust to. Pleasant voice but has a tiny accent that is just noticeable enough to be distracting until adjusting to.
The story is brutal and riveting, especially in the beginning, but very difficult to believe as the story and characters progress. The maturity and logic of all of the non adult characters is next to impossible and kind of ruins the immersion. Which I suppose with this content matter is a blessing otherwise this book could be considered a crime haha.
I found myself imagining the characters as either much older or all the way to adults. Many of the plot points were predictable.
That being said, while listening and not paying attention to the time I was shocked by a story moment and figured it was the climax, only to find I was a little over a quarter into the book. Which was amazing to find.
I’m glad the book is so short because it gets old quickly and if not for the ages of the characters it would not be so devestating. Their ages is brought up enough to remind the reader it seems like a crutch.
All this being said, if you want brutality and death laid out in vivid detail, the last 15-20 minutes is a buffet of darkness unlike anything else I’ve read thus far.

It was OK….
I felt like there wasn’t much character development, so whenever something happened to a character, I didn’t feel anything. I felt like a lot of scenes were drawn out, but still lacking energy. Honestly, a book that I think is the rated R version of Laws of the Skies and recommend is the Troop by Nick Cutter

Couldn’t finish
The ending may be thrilling, but I couldn’t even finish it. It was drawn out so slow and hard to get into.

Wow
If you’re looking for overly gory crimes that reflect on humanity as a whole and individual horror from the unloved, all told from a perspective similar to lord of the flies…children with extreme amounts of gore this is the one for you. Bravo to the performance, he narrated it so perfectly!
NOT A HAPPY ENDING!!!

So scary!
Really enjoyed this one, it is very visceral and the imagery it creates is not for the faint of heart! Like lord of the flies on steroids

This story unveils true sickness and madness possessed by a young boy. Every moment you think things will turn for the better, think again.
Moral of the story? Don’t be something or someone you are not?!

Well.
Shocking & makes me terrified of 1st graders. Some parts were confusing & hard to follow. Overall not a complete waste of a credit
