About this listen
Jack Buckley always admired his father. even after he found out he was a serial killer. As Jack grows older, and he begins helping his father, he begins to develop an unhealthy obsession with him; an obsession that would send both of their lives crumbling into decay.
From Jason Nickey, Author of ‘Wreckage’, comes a new story of extreme horror.

This author always manages to pull me into the story from the beginning, not just from a plot point of view, but because of how nuanced the characters are. Whilst the story is disturbing for so many reasons, I also felt emotional towards both the father and son and their relationship. Although the father is a heinous character, I couldn’t fully hate him and I hated myself for that as I was listening to the audiobook. This I believe is down to the author’s skills for writing characters that are flawed like we are.
There is such a twist in the story that changes everything and that had me pause to reflect on human behaviour and morality. I can’t elaborate more as I don’t want to spoil it, but I’d definitely want to talk about it if you read/listened to it.
The narration of the audiobook was really great and Mark Royse’s voice was so good! I highly recommend you listen to it.
If you want to be challenged with a story that is as good as it’s dark, this author is THE one, and this novella is one of the best examples.
Please check the triggers as there are so many in this book!
Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.
A brutal story with a message!
