David Sadzin
"Downtrodden architect Glenn Washington and his none-too-bright sidekick Lennie help a crooked real estate baron flip houses in downtrodden Detroit. A house comes up that is too good to gut for parts. Too good to be true. Waaaay too good. Thing is, nothing leads where it should - go through the front door, step out the door on the back porch. Best library ever. And why are the cops nosing around? Non-Euclidian architectural petty-crime adventure, and all that implies." (Adrian Simmons, writing for Black Gate magazine)
"This is a very entertaining and readable story, and what makes it even better is the sheer amount of incidental detail that Nelson includes. At the end, just when I thought it was coming off the boil a little, there is a neat little twist that pulls it back up again, as well as allowing for sequels. One for the ‘Best of the Year’ collections." (Paul Fraser, writing for sfmagazines.com)
"Absorbing horror novella." (Rich Horton, Locus)

David Sadzin gave us a fantastic narrative performance. And I truly hope that he'll be doing more genre fiction in the future...

A surprisingly erudite, creepy story...

I liked the narration as well. It didn't detract from the story and it didn't lull me to sleep either. I have read this book twice now. I enjoyed it just as much the second time.
Enjoyable short book with paranormal elements

The narrator was perfection on a stick! This is my first book by David Sadzin and now I'm jonesing for another. He was soooooo good!
This was a fun, semi-scary, sci-fi "Twilight Zoney" type listen and was the source of some of the best laughs I've had in audiobooks all year.
I loved this book soooo much!

A haunted house story is a classic for a reason, and Nelson does great things with the premise. His characters are well-developed and engaging, the plot unfolds at a perfect rate, and information is revealed at just the right time and with the right amount of detail. I also loved the modern cultural touchstones, such as the world of flipping houses and the references to Wheaton’s law. It made the story feel unique, and added a fresh feeling to the concept. It also prompted me to look up several things that the characters mentioned, not because I needed to know more to enjoy the story, but because the great writing piqued my interest in the things they discussed. That definitely reflects a high level of engagement.
I absolutely loved David Sadzin’s narration. I love to read and definitely read more than I listen, so I’m really looking for a narrator to enhance the experience I could get from reading something on my own. Sadzin delivers a fantastic listening experience, and I’ll be looking for more from him.

This is one of those stories where what makes them great is hard to describe to someone. The characters, the atmosphere, the writing, all of it comes together to form a very enjoyable piece.
Dialogue is one of the many ways Nelson establishes and develops his characters, and Sadzin does a great job bringing them to life. There's quite a bit of swearing at certain parts, but it doesn't feel gratuitous. Indeed, it helps make all the characters feel "real".
I was provided this audiobook free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I honestly loved it and will be checking for more.
Great Standalone piece

Set in a broken down, crime ridden Detroit the story opens with our main characters almost getting arrested by police for trying to break into an old house. The house is locked and seems almost impossible to get into, almost blocking anyone from entering. This is the beginnings of the mystery that is the house. Once in, there are strange and creepy goings on that keep the reader on edge and wanting to know more about the house.
The character of Glenn Washington is an interesting one. He is well rounded, sometimes come across as uneducated and very 'street' while other times he shows his smarts - such as his deep knowledge of abstract art. It's the almost contradictory, yet working together well, pieces of the character that make him interesting.
Narration by David Sadzin is good. He is easy to listen to and engages well with the text.
David Erik Nelson's writing, along with David Sadzin's narration keep the story interesting and gripping. Well worth the time, even for someone like me who doesn't like most horror books.
