The Withering

House of Souls, Book 3

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

A string of kidnappings has the village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, on edge.
Longtime resident Edgar August thinks he knows who's behind them.

Edgar has a secret. In his spare time, he enjoys looking into his neighbors' windows, observing their private lives and spreading gossip. The old doctor who lives behind him has been acting strangely as of late, and witnessing his erratic behaviors over the course of weeks, Edgar begins to suspect that the retired physician, Marcel Dubois, is the kidnapper.

As his snooping gets more invasive, Edgar becomes convinced that his neighbor is up to something.

But that something, it turns out, is more horrifying than a mere kidnapping.

The Withering is the third novel in the House of Souls series.

Disappointed After a Long Wait

Can I just say that this book is just a snooze fest. I've been waiting for the third book and was thoroughly disappointed upon finishing. I feel like this book was just thrown together for something to release. A bad follow 3book in a series I had enjoyed.

Enjoyable.

I have now listening to all 3books, and have enjoyed them all. This was a good story. Ambrose really has a talent for creating horror stories. I have two little complaints, I wish it had been more of a extremely scary story, the kind of story that you couldn't listen to it with your lights off.. I could.. I think Joe Hempel and his narration of bringing characters to life, awesome. The next little complaint is it takes entirely to long for his next books to become available to us adubile listener. Seems like to me this book took forever to come to adubile. Saying this, I still recommend you listen to all books.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏽that this is not the end of this series, and that we get it soon!🙂

Loved this series

I loved it! The end gave me chills!! This was a good series. I’m really glad I read the third book.

Really

so women are disappearing and you go into a neighbors house to where you hear a women crying and he's acting extremely weird and his house is in disarray. Yet you don't suspect him because he's a old nice man.

This book ruined my day.

Today I expected to spend the day listening to this book and cleaning my storage shed. However, I am 2 hours into this book and I've needed to pause it already because it's too creepy. I can't work today because it's dimly lit in the shed and this book has made me so paranoid I swear I am hearing things. That yawning open maw of a mouth in the shadows, the draping billowing curtain......Ugh! Instead of cleaning today and tomorrow, I am likely going to be listening to this book inside of my house with all the lights on. Thanks Ambrose.


I love Ambrose's books so much when will he go viral so that I can read these with people instead of alone in the semi dark....
