De: Chris Sorensen

Narrado por: Chris Sorensen

New York audiobook narrator Peter Larson and his wife Hannah head to his hometown of Maple City to help Peter's ailing father and to put a recent tragedy behind them. Though the small, Midwestern town seems like the idyllic place to start afresh, Peter and Hannah will soon learn that evil currents flow beneath its surface.

They move into an old farmhouse on the outskirts of town - a house purchased by Peter's father at auction and kept secret until now - and start to settle into their new life. But as Peter sets up his recording studio in a small basement room, disturbing things begin to occur - mysterious voices haunt audio tracks, malevolent shadows creep about the house. And when an insidious presence emerges from the woodwork, Peter must face old demons in order to save his family and himself.

Great Little Book To Find

I just randomly came upon this book but glad I did. Cant wait to see where the books will takes us readers too.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this story! I was not at all expecting the twists and turns in it! it's hard to keep me guessing, but this book did it!

Weak characters

Weak characters. Removed download after a few chapters. I could not shake the feeling that this was AI written. I wanted to like it, but I finally lost patience.

It was ok - but I didn’t finish it

I lost interest with what was happening with the characters. None of them grabbed me enough to listen to the outcome. The dialogue was a bit hokey.

Good Read!

Not the scariest audiobook ever like someone said in their review, but definitely held my interest from start to finish. Well worth reading, I finished it well within 24 hours .

Enjoyable

Very well told, great story line, great character references, as well as a ending that makes me want to read the next book

love this narrator and author!

what a great story! just enough of everything I like 👍 the author is a great narrator

More enjoyable than anticipated

When I first started this series (I didn't know it was a series), I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. The Nightmare Room started off slow, and I thought it would be predictable. By the end, my interest was peaked enough to move on to The Hungry Ones. It was free on Audible at the time, so why not. In my opinion, each book in this series is better than the last, and The Messy Man was the best one by far. Looking back, I never would have guessed these stories would have taken the turns they did. It was all very engaging and thought-provoking.
It's nice that each book picked up where the last left off. I do think it could have been made better with a different narrator, but I can understand an author wanting to narrate for themselves to complete their vision of the story.
All in all, I would definitely recommend the whole series to a friend

Authors Should Not Narrate

I really enjoyed this book. But the narration was not good. This is the fourth time where I’ve listened to a book narrated by its author. Each one of them, the narration was bad. I’ve come to the conclusion that authors should not narrate their own books. There is a reason why most authors don’t.

Fantastic reading by the author

I found the story as an examination of grief and loss better than as a scary story, and I think it is all the better for it. I liked the characters and felt genuine empathy for their situation, even prior to the scary stuff happening.
