Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Good one!

Loved this story and the performance. Great fun just before Halloween. Characters were nicely rounded and with just enough romance that I couldn’t help rooting for them all.

HP Lovecraft fan or not it's a joy ride.

Ray Porter embodies all the characters bringing them to stunning life. And Peter Clines is like Jim Butcher and Dean Koontz rolled into one. The story is intriguing, characters are rich, and you just don't want to stop listening. I'm getting the next book right now!

Fast paced creative storyline

Engaging narration with enough mystery and twists to keep the tension going. Weaves in some historical characters and incidents to keep it real while dipping into parallel universes to add challenge.

Delightful

There are a NUMBER of excellent quotes in this book:

"Tuesday was a bandaid peeled off as slowly as possible"

"A ladder is a flag pole with delusions of grandeur "

There are more, I will not spoil but quite funny, sad, great in general. Highly recommend. Good writing, great narration!!

Not at all what I expected!

I chose this audiobook because I thought it would contain elements of supernatural and/or horror, and I was way off! BUT, I was also pleasantly surprised! I'm not a science person, but I really enjoyed listening to this story.
