About this listen

Addiction is an affliction.

As you crave you endure sweats, irritations, sleepless nights. Your life suffers, your job suffers.... Your family suffers.

But you need it. You have to have your fix.

Joe O'Hara is having a bad morning, and it's just about to get worse.

A random road traffic accident sends him on the path to addiction. Crack is the only thing that can give him any relief from his living hell - but it's a far cry from the crack you might think it is.

Crack is a psychological horror from D E McCluskey, author of The Twelve.

Nope, it isn't about hard drugs.

Nope,it isn't about skating on thin ice.

Nope, it isn't about a plumber's rear end!

It is about... wait no, I'm not going to tell you that - it might spoil it for you.

I finished listening to this a couple of weeks ago.But I wanted to leave some time between finishing it and writing a review.

If you like horror books then I recommend you try this. I'm thinking of early Stephen King here - the stuff he wrote while addicted to hard drugs, not the soft stuff he produces now. Crack is sick and twisted and not an easy listen. But it is very cleverly written and very interesting as a concept.The sort of book where at times you gasp out loud while listening but you just can't stop until you know what happens next.

The narrator is perfect. It can't have been an easy book to narrate but Tim Welch totally nailed it.

I've already put some more D E McCluskey on my kindle and I am looking forward to checking those out this summer.He's definitely an author to watch.

CRACK!

Crack is a great listen for anyone who loves that horror, thrill and rush type of feeling. When I say you will be taken for a ride, I mean it! The narrator, Tim Welch did a fantastic job at really making you feel as if you were in the main character's shoes. The way in which McCluskey pulls you in and is able to make you feel as if you were losing yourself in the story was fascinating. Don’t be fooled and think you're going to be listening to a story about crack because that is far from the storyline. The story is about the main character Joe, a weird and unusual sensation he develops and desires after a life changing event thus affecting him, his home-life and those around him. You want to listen to this book with open ears because at times you may hear some things that aren’t for the faint hearted. Note that this book isn’t a read for everyone, especially if you have a soft stomach to begin with. The reason why I enjoyed this book as much as I did is because you don’t normally hear twisted, dark humored, gruesome (at times) material like this on a day to day basis. While listening to him narrate, Welch makes storytelling feel as if time isn’t real. As I was listening to him speak I was drawn in more and more and time really felt like it just disappeared, reality seemed as if it disappeared as well in a sense. Overall, a great read for those of you who are like me who have tough skin for a story like Crack.

Exciting & thrilling

I came across this book and was first of all intrigued by the title and the image of the cracked motorcycle helmet. After reading the sample of the book I decided to give it a go. The book is centred around a family, and the farthers demise after being involved in a life changing event.

Needles to say that it his family who will ultimately suffer due to the cruel twist of fate that has befallen the lead character.

this book is filled with gruesome depiction and a barrel of laughs for those of us with a dark sense of humor. there are plenty of laugh out loud moments, coupled with gory details.

of you are looking for a book that has you thirsting for blood, with laughs thrown in, then this is a read you shouldn't miss out on. Overall, I loved it. A welcome distraction of the everyday hum drum.

Crack-tastic
