À propos de cet audio

Bryan and Ellie Stockton hope they left behind their demons when they move to their idyllic new home in southern West Virginia. Above all, they want a fresh start for their young son, Derrick, who witnessed the tumultuous first years of their marriage—years that were rife with substance abuse, rage, and resentment. Their bright hope for the future is darkened when a child disappears from their neighborhood. The couple becomes suspicious of a reclusive resident with a degenerative brain disorder. Strange events begin to happen in their house just as Derrick tells them about a new friend who visits him at night. Their son may be acting out from the trauma he endured, or he could be the obsession of something much more sinister.

The pacing in this Nick Roberts story about a horrible succubus is admittedly subpar. When the author finally gets to the sex- and drugs-tinged torture-murders of a struggling family by a straight-up embodiment-of-evil neighbor, however - about half-way through - the result is chilling. Robertson has a somewhat odd preoccupation with the smell of sh*t as an element in the atrocities and his characterization is overdone + unrealistic, but with his description skills, I could easily visualize the can't-look-away demonic obscenity.

As to presentation: reader Joe Hempel reads the book with creditable diction/timbre/cadence.. but unspectacular voice-acting and an occasionally disinterested tone. Tantor Media Inc. could have gotten equally effective results from any professional in their stable of narrators. This is a solidly "average" listening product overall.

In toto, I give this recording of 'Anathema' 7.5 stars out of 10. Despite the plodding overly-detailed set-up, it's good enough that I will listen to more from this author (and can recommend the audiobook if you can get it from the 'Plus' menu).. but wouldn't invest a Credit on it, should they ask for one.

This is my second book from this author and I actually like this one more than the Exorcist house and I think it’s because we are left wondering if the demon is really a demon or just an awful, sick and deranged human (young woman here).

Demon or not

The characters behave in ways too stupid to believe making it impossible to care or to get into the story. Skip this one.
