About this listen

When three siblings return to their hometown for their estranged father’s funeral, burying the ghosts of the past proves to be impossible in this chilling story by the author of Mysterious Skin.

Forty years ago, triplets Miriam, Louise, and Edward were swept up in a case of rural mass hysteria. Coerced into fabricating unspeakable lies about their first-grade teacher and her adult son, they were complicit in destroying two lives. Ever since, they have believed they are being followed by a presence still seeking retribution for their childhood sins. Unless their guilty consciences are conjuring as many monsters as their innocent minds once did.

Loam is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

A brilliant and brave story because of its subject matter. Only one other story made me so squirmy. That was Rose Madder by Stephen King. Unlike Mr Kings story I ploughed on through to the end on this one. There’s no incredible or unexpected destination here, this story is about the journey. Enjoy this journey and I’ll head off to check this author out for my next one. Perfect narration

Disturbing brave and brilliant

There was clearly a minimum time limit the author of this book had to reach. A lot of words used but no story told. Characters were unconvincing and it felt like a very wishy washy imitation of a nightmare on elm street and IT.

Dull and creepy in a non horror way
