About this listen

In this terrifyingly twisted thriller, a young couple discovers the horror held within their newly purchased dream house.

It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.

That is, until their nearest neighbors, Dan and Lucy Steiner, come bearing more than housewarming gifts. Dan and Lucy warn Harry and Sasha of a malevolent spirit that lives in the valley, one that with every season will haunt them in fresh, ever-more-diabolical ways. At first, it seems like an old wives’ tale. But when spring arrives, so does the first evil manifestation, challenging everything Harry and Sasha thought they knew about the world.

As each season passes, the spirit grows stronger, the land more sinister, and each encounter more dangerous. Will Harry and Sasha learn the true meaning of a forever home before it’s too late? Haunting and bone-chilling, Old Country is a spellbinding debut in the horror genre.

What the critics say

“An extraordinarily assured debut: uncanny yet real, both lyrical and brutal, rich with truth about life and death.”—Michael Rutger, author of The Anomaly

This is by far one of the best books I have come by in a long time. It was well written and such a great original story. Literally took every chance I could get, to get back to listening to it!

Juliette and Kidd did a fantastic job narrating!

Fantastic!

One of my favourite listens so far! The story is well written and engaging. I would have liked to have a more concrete explanation about the mountain ‘spirit’, however; not knowing kept me interested.

Great listen!

The best kind of horror? The kind that lasts generations. What a story!!!! It’s a great turn of just the right pace fear - of nature, of the unknown, and the truths we sometimes have to be ready to acknowledge. Must listen.

I am a fan of horror, particularly Stephen King. This book played like a movie with lots of scares and an evolving story. I listened to this book in 2 days, which is impressive for me.
