About this listen

 "If John Irving ever wrote a horror novel, it would be something like this. I loved it.” —Stephen King

Noah Turner sees monsters.

His father saw them—and built a shrine to them with The Wandering Dark, an immersive horror experience that the whole family operates.

His practical mother has caught glimpses of terrors but refuses to believe—too focused on keeping the family from falling apart.

And his eldest sister, the dramatic and vulnerable Sydney, won't admit to seeing anything but the beckoning glow of the spotlight . . . until it swallows her up.

Noah Turner sees monsters. But, unlike his family, Noah chooses to let them in . . . Dark Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Genre Fiction Scary

I dunno, maybe you have to be a hard-core Lovecraft fan to really enjoy this. The story was interesting enough, but none of it really wowed me. I mean, I finished it, so it wasn't terrible, but when it ended, I was just kinda like, "huh."

Just OK

The first parts of this book were much more enjoyable for me than the later parts. The plot follows the Turner family and culminate to centering around the youngest son, Noah. However, the female Turners I found much more interesting and compelling characters, whereas Noah seems more like a self-insert on the part of the author. Noah more or less reads as a mediocre guy who somehow has 3 different love interests faun over him at different parts of the book for basically doing nothing. The last third of the book also becomes randomly horny, and the ending ties things up just a little too neatly. First 2/3 are good enough to catch your interest at least.

Good until the main character becomes the main character
