About this listen

There is something lurking in the trees....

A winter storm has buried North Dakota in snow and ice. With accidents being reported across the region, Deputy Ron Weller must patrol along the main road through a normally tranquil forest in Beeman County. The night grows menacing as he discovers vehicles that have been run off the road, their drivers mysteriously missing. Strange tracks lead through a region of thick forest known as Devil's Rock. There, Weller makes a horrifying discovery.

A monster has awakened. Its hunger is insatiable, and its ferocity has no limits.

Protected by an armored exoskeleton, the beast is relentless in its pursuit of prey. It must feed or face starvation. What has started as a search for a missing driver has now become a fight for survival, as Ron Weller is hunted by the Beast of Devil's Rock.

Do not download this Michael Cole story looking to be frightened. The tone of the tale about a giant murderous arachnid slaughtering motorists living through a North Dakota snowstorm is appropriately lighthearted (the whole premise is pretty ridiculous, honestly).
Despite awful pacing, Cole writes capably enough with a firm understanding of the ludicrousness of his narrative (he doesn't take himself too seriously). The book is noticeably sophomoric, but fortuitously, Cole has commendable description skills (the gore is satisfyingly cinematic).

As to presentation: Reader Matt Godfrey delivers a creditable - if unspectacular - narration, too. Tantor Audio Inc. cast the project adequately.. although any professional voice actor in their stable could have been equally effective.

Altogether, 'The Beast of Devil's Rock' was a passable distraction for a quiet afternoon. If you set your expectations appropriately, this 6/10-star monster story is a serviceable 'Plus' selection. Spend your Credit elsewhere if they ask for one - better options beckon - but check it out if you can get it for free.
