The Summoning

De: Dr. Stuart Knott, H. Everend, Jessica Huntley, Alice Stone, Shantel Brunton

Narrado por: Devon Talbott

You’re cordially invited to LaVey House….

The reclusive Howard LaVey has presented writers Frederick Brandis, Aster Callahan, Rhiannon Hughes, and Mikhail Orlov with the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to spend a week at his ominous estate and collaborate on a horror anthology.

Each of them hopes to get something out of it, ranging from riches to recognition, but egos flare and co-existing becomes a struggle as each writer battles against their own demons and self-doubts.

Soon enough, LaVey House turns out to be much more than they bargained for, and the chance of a lifetime quickly becomes a living nightmare as ancient spirits awaken and torment them at every turn. Four writers, four stories, but the true horror lies buried within the dark hallways and forgotten secrets of LaVey House just waiting to live again!

The Summoning is an intense horror collaboration from the minds of Dr. Stuart Knott, Harriet Everend, and Jessica Huntley and featuring contributions from Alice Stone, Shantel Brunton, Tom Schnipke, and Daria Lavrenteva.

Trigger Warnings for: Violence, supernatural horror, depictions of abuse (domestic, physical, and emotional), trauma, suicide, depression, panic attacks, and general terror.

Riveting

I stopped what I was doing and stood there staring at my Audible app as I listened to the ending. The creative choices regarding narration and pacing had made the hours fly by, A good plot, sympathetic (and sometimes unsympathetic) characters, an evocative setting and well developed writing combined to make me wish at times that the book wouldn’t end. The narrator is excellent at his craft, bringing the characters to life with compelling delivery and weaving special effects in for a bone chilling atmosphere.
