Publisher's Summary

Aspiring model Allison Parker finally moves into her dream apartment: a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But her perfect home quickly turns hellish. The building is filled with a cast of sinister tenants, including a reclusive blind priest, who seems to watch her day and night through an upstairs window. Eventually, Allison starts hearing strange noises from the empty apartment above hers. Before long, she uncovers the building's demonic secret and is plunged into a nightmare of sinful misdeeds and boundless evil. In the tradition of Rosemary's Baby, this gripping novel was adapted into a feature film starring Ava Gardner, Cristina Raines, and Chris Sarandon. The Sentinel is classic horror at its best.

That voice... oh that squeaky voice.

I am half-way through The Sentinel, a book I read decades ago and that scared the wits outta me back in the day. In the hope of revisiting that creepy story as it would be read to me in the wee hours, I used a credit to purchase it. As I plumped up the pillows and pulled the sheets up to my chin on this dark and stormy (yes it is storming) night, I waited for the first words to begin to creep up my spine with shivers of anticipation. Then I heard the voice; that squeaky voice of a woman who was obviously trying her best to grip the essence of this horror story but had absolutely no ability to do so. The only words that crept up my spine were annoying, especially when the narrator attempted to put voices to the characters. Oh, woe is me. Here I lay in the dark, thunder rumbling, waiting to be scared silly. But, nooooo. I am left listening to a little mouse trying her damnedest to relay a story that is so out of her reach it is, sadly, laughable. Dear Audible, will you never learn from the unending complaints from your customers about poor narration? I mean, isn't the whole point to listen?
