Story
On mean Harp Bittlemore’s blighted farm, hidden away in the Backhills, nothing has gone right for a very long time. Crops don’t grow, the pigs and chickens stay skinny and the three aged dairy cows, Berle, Crilla and Dally, are so desperate they are plotting an escape. The one thing holding them back is the thought of abandoning young Willa, the single bright point in their life since her older sister, Margaret, ran away. But Willa Bittlemore, just turning 14, is planning her own rebellion.

Story
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Publisher's Summary
AN INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The award-winning screenwriter and International Emmy nominee is now a literary success with this unexpectedly dark and twisted thriller.
It's 1994, and three stand-up comedians have embarked on a tour of smaller communities across a remote stretch of rural countryside. Dale is a forty-something comic from Chicago who's on the back half of a mediocre career and thinking about quitting the business. Rynn is a twenty-something fast-rising comedy star from Dublin with a big Hollywood break on her horizon. The third performer is a local act, a late addition to the bill who has agreed to open the shows and do all the driving. He goes by the name Hobie Huge, and he is, indeed, enormous. His comedic ability, however, is not. He's weirdly eager, annoyingly enthusiastic and brutally unfunny. All of which wouldn't be so bad . . . if the brutality ended there. By the time Dale and Rynn realize Hobie's true talents and disturbing motivation, it may be too late—and their tour becomes less about getting laughs and more about getting off the road alive.
What the critics say
"Fans of Corner Gas who pick up Butt's first novel may be in for a surprise. . . . Butt's knowledge of standup provides the granular detail, but his sense of pace and timing (both essential qualities for a comedian) are here well deployed in the service of much darker, nastier material. And the biggest surprise is how entertaining the whole thing is."—Toronto Star
"An incredibly propulsive read. . . . Huge is full of some great storytelling, sharp observances and authentic characters."—Winnipeg Free Press
"Butt kills with a darkly comic thriller that could only be written by someone who knows there are worse things than dying on stage."—Linwood Barclay, bestselling author of Take Your Breath Away and Find You First

A first novel home run
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Brent bring his characters to life. The story is engaging and the dialogue between the characters was pretty funny in spots, but the suspense is real.

Amazing read/listen
Greatly enjoyed this novel and was blown away by Butts’ tale of the road for a comic albeit with darker turns than most runs. Looking forward to future reads by the author.

Great Read!
Already being a Brent Butt fan from his tv series and a few fortunate laughter filled witnessing his always hilarious stand up routines, I wasn’t sure how he would transition to author (and narrator) but I was happily surprised. The story was one I hated to shut down. I enjoyed this book a great deal. Well done!!!

I guess you would call this comedy thriller and it’s great. Finished it in one day then hit restart and listened again.

This is HUGE!
I’m a fan of Brent Butt. His comedy is sharp, and clearly inspired. That being said, I had high hopes for this debut novel and wow! I was impressed with the detail, the descriptiveness of his word pictures, and most of all by the depths of darkness that he can put into a page.
It’s a great read and an even better listen as it’s read by Brent himself.
