À propos de cet audio

Hovern Bog. People live in terror of it - especially the residents of Fenchurch St. Jude, the little village located at its edge. They think of it as a living being. They've seen it reach out with sinewy tentacles... to take, entangle, and digest.

When 2,000-year-old bodies are recovered from the bog, perfectly preserved, it is the discovery of a lifetime for archaeologist David Macauley. But close examination of the corpses reveals a curious fact: all were cruelly, mysteriously murdered, gnawed to death by some unimaginable creature. Soon it becomes apparent that whatever tortured and killed the bodies from ancient times still roams the bog, and no one in Fenchurch St. Jude - especially David and his family - is safe.

In The Bog (1986), Michael Talbot (1953-1992), author of the vampire classic The Delicate Dependency and the chilling haunted house novel Night Things, delivers an exciting mix of science and the supernatural that will keep listeners guessing until the horrific climax.

"One of the better horror novels.... odd and risky mingling of pure science with fairy lore and gnashed bodies.... terrific." - Kirkus Reviews

"Exciting!" - Publishers Weekly

"Convincingly original!" - Ocala Star-Banner

This book was quite different from anything that I have read before but I have to say I quite enjoyed it for that reason. It was fantasy but not in your typical ways and that was also neat. Give it a try for something new.

Pretty unique and different story idea.

I sincerely enjoyed this book and finished it in a day. The author's incorporation of history was brilliant and a treat to read. The story was dark, authentic, and hard to put down. The beginning immediately drew me in and the core of the story was intriguing. It's definitely a great read!

An engaging and unique book.

This book's story line is ridiculous and is devoid of any thrills and chills that one expects from a horror novel. I have read many books in the genre that build to supernatural elements that are absolutely hair-raising because the authors know how to make them believable and threatening. Sadly, Michael Talbot does not have such ability: It's as if ideas would pop into his head that he would automatically include in the plot... then forget he did so. This left me yawning and bewildered by such superfluous inclusions. But worse, the characters in this book are so stiff and emotionally stilted it actually made me feel sorry for their creator. With this in mind, I advise my fellow listeners to not waste their money on "The Bog" and I advise Mr. Talbot to not - I repeat to NOT - quit his day job.

Don't waste your money.
