About this listen

Days from civilisation five men are about to experience something beyond the rational.

In the snow slaked wilds where the natives fear to tread, these men search for moose but find something more terrifying and supernatural. With a rush of wind and the smell of feral nature one of their number is whisked away, leaving them wondering: Who might be next?

Look at a message board about horrors set in the forest and this is surely one of the first to be suggested. After checking it out, I'm not sure why.

I found it boring. Very little happens and it isn't scary.
it's very short. Maybe it's just outdated, maybe fans of Blackwood's arent accustomed to good writing. I don't know, but I was quite disappointed.

The wordsmith corresponds utilizing location communication for which elis appropriate... Blackwood hits the thesaurus way too hard. To the point that he doesn't use words properly and I'm sure a few were simply made up. It reads like the essay of a high school student who's about 20 words short of the goal.

His descriptions are vague. Settings / items / characters are too often described as being indescribable or incomprehensible. Well this is a book, it relies on the author describing a setting, the characters, events, actions.

No plot develops. No characters develop. No interest is held.

Not as good as I expected
