Summary

"Shocking...terrifying." (Entertainment Weekly)

From USA Today and number one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new World's Scariest Legends series.

In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for 14 days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.

None survived.

In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.

What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined - with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.

Cool story. Ending was a little weak.

Had to listen too it on 1.25x speed to make it more bearable. Accents and inflections were also a little rough but overall id recommend it.

Not bad not bad

It's slow, like at the start I could hardly listen for more than 10 minutes at a time. The character accents make it awkward to listen, but you can tell the narrator is trying. As for the story itself in my opinion it's an overall lack luster version of the now overused sleep deprivation experiment horror story. I can hardly classify it as horror, there is no real scares or gore. At best it is slightly creepy but mostly just awkward. I would not recommend buying this.

Very very BLEH
