A terrifying supernatural audiobook that explores ghosts, grief, and god complexes

Ever since their on-again, off-again college romance, Erin hasn’t been able to set a single boundary with charismatic but reckless Silas, who has been chasing the next big high since graduation. When he texts her to spring him out of rehab, she knows enough is enough. She is ready to start a career, make new friends, and meet a great guy—even if that means cutting Silas off. But when Silas turns up dead from an overdose, Erin’s world falls apart.

When Erin learns that Silas discovered a drug that allowed him to see the dead, she doesn’t believe it’s real but agrees to a pill-popping “séance” to ease her guilt and pain. When she steps back into the real world, she starts to see ghosts everywhere from her Southern hometown’s bloody and brutal past. Are the effects pharmacological or something more sinister? And will Erin be able to shut the Pandora’s box of horrors she has opened?

With propulsive momentum, bone-chilling scares, and dark meditations on the weight of history, this Southern horror will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown.

This is a pretty good story. Not scary by any means which disappointed me. However, well worth reading and the narrator did an amazing job.

Worth reading

An easy listen. Not alot of depth. Story seems more like narration of a made for TV movie or a book based on one. I'd watch it.

Meh

Voice actor was great. This was almost a DNF. had to listen at 2x to get through it.

Waste it a credit.

Really interesting idea but not an easy read. Visceral, repellent and confronting, this is a story of ghosts, loss and addiction. One dimensional characters left me wanting more than this horror show could deliver. Sometimes very effective in that it made me shudder, but not very enjoyable.

Creepy, but ultimately a let down

Likes: the reader did a good job. They were great at expressing the anxiety, fear, and obsession that the character was experiencing. The story was unique,

Dislikes: the beginning of the book was very slow to start. There was almost nothing connection-building with the characters. The entire book is about navel gazing and obsessive thought which became incredibly tedious in the extreme. The ending of the book dragged on and on. The climax of the story was telegraphed throughout the book so there were no surprises and it was stereotypical.

Obsessive
