About this listen

Whoever is born here is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay never leaves.

Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a 17th-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she's there. Or what a threat she poses. Because if the stitches are ever cut open, the story goes, the whole town will die.

The curse must not be allowed to spread. The elders of Black Spring have used high-tech surveillance to quarantine the town. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break the strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But in so doing, they send the town spiraling into a dark nightmare.

What made the experience of listening to HEX the most enjoyable?

I loved this book. I would never, ever watch a horror film but somehow its alot less scary when you listen to an audible book.

Amazing story!!!! Amazing narration too!!

I had high hopes for this story after reading recommendations for it, but I really struggled with the narrator’s performance - I found his tone to be nasally and bland (to the point that I sped up the audio to change the pitch!)

It’s such a shame that this has been re-written and re-set in American - I would have much preferred to read a translation of the original Dutch script. I think the overall experience would have been far more authentic and enjoyable.

I did enjoy the story, overall - it is worth a listen (once you get used to the voice!)

Good plot, disappointing narration

The author draws you in slowly but carefully as not to spoil or rush too many character's. The story is quietly built from a small sleepy town that appears to all American and apple pie to a hate filled and archaic vengeful society that ends very badly. Your initial thoughts about Katherine should wait until part 2 if the novel because is she really evil and vengeful?
You really care about the characters and whgwhgat hgappens to them...good or bad. This is a story about fear and misconceptions so ingrained that they obscure and tarnish what is hidden in plain sight. It also deals with humans over urging cyclic pattern to return to its basic instinct to survive at whatever cost. Fear, ignorance and mans ability to delve into the darkest reaches of our psyche

Wow...!

What did you like most about HEX?

The concept of this story is simply original.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes. And I can't say what. Trust me.

Any additional comments?

Recommended this book unexpectedly, and it didn't disappoint. The story is innovative and cleverly constructed. The characters are real, their lives believable. The witch is terrifying.
Wonderfully performed by Jeff Harding; one of his best.

Horror firing on all cylinders

Both the story and the story-telling have a real Stephen King feel about them. An original storyline that is narrated really well. My only complaint is a few dodgy edits, where separate narrations run into each other making the narration unintelligible. This is well worth a credit though.

Original & Entertaining
