About this listen

About 15 miles west of Stauford, Kentucky, lies Devil's Creek. According to local legend, there used to be a church out there, home to the Lord's Church of Holy Voices - a death cult where Jacob Masters preached the gospel of a nameless god.

And like most legends, there's truth buried among the roots and bones.

In 1983, the church burned to the ground following a mass suicide. Among the survivors were Jacob's six children and their grandparents, who banded together to defy their former minister. Dubbed the "Stauford Six," these children grew up amid scrutiny and ridicule, but their infamy has faded over the last 30 years.

Now their ordeal is all but forgotten, and Jacob Masters is nothing more than a scary story told around campfires.

For Jack Tremly, one of the Six, memories of that fateful night have fueled a successful art career - and a lifetime of nightmares. When his grandmother Imogene dies, Jack returns to Stauford to settle her estate. What he finds waiting for him are secrets Imogene kept in his youth, secrets about his father and the church. Secrets that can no longer stay buried.

Contains mature themes.

I was taken in by the synopsis. The fact that this was free on Audible Plus was a bonus. This went straight to the top of my TBR pile for Spooktober and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the characterisation and some of the later scenes were very scary.

Give me that old-time religion... It's good enough for me.

The story starts with fast action, and then becomes a slow burn as it works its way to an inevitable conclusion. Focused on a religious cult and the supernatural, the characters are well written, with some you like and others to like to hate. The narrator is ok, and delivers an enjoyable story.
