À propos de cet audio

From USA Today and number-one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes a tale of mystery and horror set in Japan's ancient Suicide Forest, a place that is easy to enter but, for some, impossible to leave.

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods.

When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning - and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.

Contains mature themes.

I have read a few books about the suicide forest in Japan and this is the scariest one yet.

This Jeremy Bates story follows a group of English-as-a-Second-Language teachers in Japan deciding to hike, explore, and camp in the famed Aokigahara on the slopes of Mount Fuji. The book includes a satisfying mix of campy jump scare action-gore, moody philosophical discussions surrounding mortality and suicide, and supernatural/paranormal events.
Bates tends to draw out the drama - his pacing isn't great - and I didn't really like protagonist 'Ethan' or the snarky relationships between the stranded youths.. but the book is fun.

As to presentation: Joe Hempel is an above-average narrator. There are occasional stretches where it's quite obvious that he's reading from a text sitting open in his lap, but his diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are all exemplary.

In toto, 'Suicide Forest: World's Scariest Places Series, Book 1' merits 8 stars out of 10. It's more of a "Lost In The Woods" tale with evil villains than a macabre Ghost-infused story.. but it was a great find on the 'Plus' menu. It's worth a Credit.

Honestly a good book, but kinda slow at first. The good part doesn’t really happen until the very end but it’s so good to listen to.

Love it

I enjoyed the twist on the folklore of The Suicide Forest. I did find the story dragged at times but overall a good telling. The narrator did a great job.

Interesting twist on folklore

That was the good part of this listening experience. The rest, well, not so good. I found the plot tedious and the characters boring and one-dimensional. It was all, in my humble opinion, rather amateurish. As for Joe Hempel, his voice is just too immature to capture the nuance of voice-acting.

At least it was free.
