About this listen

Underneath the library, something waits. It takes. It never lets go.

Jessica Martin has spent her life watching her town swallow women whole. It starts small—dreams dismissed, voices ignored, power quietly drained away. But when the local librarian vanishes without a trace, Jessica refuses to let her name be whispered away like all the others.

The deeper she digs, the worse it gets. No one who has ever worked in that library has been seen again. Every attempt to uncover the truth is met with knowing glances, evasive smiles, and doors quietly shutting in her face. And when one of her sources disappears too, Jessica realizes she’s running out of time.

If the town won’t give her answers, she’ll have to take them herself.

But the library is not just a building. It is a mouth. A hunger. A history of women who asked the wrong questions.

Jessica has spent her life being told to stay quiet. But she isn’t leaving without a story.

And this time, she’s the one writing the ending.

Kraulaak is the spine-chilling first book in the Frozen Wasteland series. If you crave unsettling mysteries, smoldering rage, and the terrifying power of women who refuse to disappear, then you won’t be able to put down S.R. Marks’ menacing tale.

Listen to Kraulaak today—before it swallows you whole.

This is an interesting collection of short stories that all focus on the strange things happening at the local branch library. Inside it’s always freezing cold inside even during the hottest summer months. Add to that the large turnover in staff and something feels very wrong. Could there be sinister forces at work here? If so, who in town knows what’s happening and why are they covering it up? Sara Marks writes with an easy flowing style that allows the story to flow and never get bogged down. There’s an abundance of different characters that all feel very ‘real’ and that’s before they’re thrown into this wonderful mix of stories. At the core is an interesting idea that’s as original as it is entertaining.
For me the narration is quite up to the same standard as the stories being told. The audio itself has what you might describe as a harsh edge to it making it feel a little ‘unpolished’. The narrators delivery felt quite stiff at times and didn’t really put any emotion into the characters. I’ve listened to many truly great audiobook performances and maybe that raises expectations unfairly too high as this is okay, there’s nothing bad about, it’s just not great. Personally I felt the stories deserved that kind of top reading.

As Original As It Is Entertaining.
