The Necromancer

De: Tom Lewis

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

“If this book doesn’t scare you, I’m not sure anything can.”

Then Jesus demanded the demon give its name. And it responded, “I am Legion, for we are many.” – Mark 5:9

As a wave of grisly, ritualistic killings sweeps across Los Angeles, the police have only one lead – a mysterious girl caught at one of the crime scenes. But something’s wrong with her beyond the feral rage in her eyes. It’s something deep inside her. Taken to prison, the guards and police learn she hides terrifying secrets even the prison walls can’t contain. Powers to move objects and compel people. To invade thoughts and dreams with grotesque horrors. And to raise the dead.

And she’s picking them off, one by one.

From the best-selling author of ‘Hell: The Possession and Exorcism of Cassie Stevens,’ comes a terrifying new tale of supernatural horror. Sometimes evil has a child’s face.

What readers are saying:

“This was a book that invoked horror at its most basic iteration. The story got under my skin, and I couldn’t stop thinking about.”

“This is possibly the best thriller I’ve ever read. Gave me goosebumps throughout.”

“I could not put it down! Read it in two days! If you want a fantastic read! Read this.”

“Chilling! So good it’s hard to put it down.”

“Haven’t read a scary book in a while and I couldn’t have picked a better one to read!!!! Grabs your imagination immediately and doesn’t let it go.”

“As others have said, this is a very fast paced book which jumps right in and doesn’t stop! It truly embodies the “horror” genre, including murder-mystery, psychic abilities, the supernatural, gore and mutilation, the occult, the undead…”

“It’s one of the best books I have read in a long time.”

Great Possession Story

Enjoyed it - original and “moderately” scary but story was interesting and good pacing. Would have give 5 stars if had a person narrator.

Excellent horror

Definitely extreme horror not for the feint. The author is very talented I would say, I was really pulling for the good guys here. I believe this book and his book ‘Hell’ is related but I read that one earlier this year. It may be a sequel to this. I will certainly follow this Author to see what else he brings.

Excellent Book!

What a fantastic book and in the Plus Library too! Took a chance on this and couldn’t be more pleased. The only con is that the Virtual Voice is very good but not yet perfect. By that I mean in some cases where a human narrator would use certain amounts of emotion in the reading, the virtual voice doesn’t do it well. But, it’s not frequent enough to discourage me from listening again.

I liked it

the virtual voice thing isn't perfect, but is getting a lot better. good story, really well written.

Narration sucks

While the narration is better than I thought it would be it’s not good. It’s narrated with AI and it shows, feels like being read to by a robot with a human voice. Please support human narrators by giving narration 1 star, don’t let the bots take yet more jobs. Story is ok but not good enough to make up for flat narration. I didn’t realize it was read by a bot, if I had I wouldn’t have bought it.

Robo voice ruins it for me

An absolutely amazing story that I would have loved to have been sucked into, but the flat robot narration completely killed the book for me

very good

this was a very good story, the scary aspect is a bit of a slow burn, but worth the wait. my only complaint was virtual voice narration, but on the plus side of that there's a few instances where virtual voice mispronounced a word (pronouncing Wind like winding a clock, when it should have been wind like the wind is blowing) which is pretty finny

A great read.

Virtual voice was okay some of the inflection etc. wasn't that great but overall the story was amazing and I'm happy with my purchase.

Alexa narration - poorly done

AI narration at it's worst plus a mediocre plot! Get a different title, don't waste your time with this one.

Great story but would be better with an actual narrator

Excellent story and writing, but the virtual voice was odd too listen too and didn't give much variety or emotion to the characters
