About this listen

Joseph Lake doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, and the answer might just be the death of him.

By day, Joseph scrubs toilets and fixes broken light fittings. By night, he looks into weird stuff: local hauntings, unexplained disappearances, and satanic cabals dancing naked around ancient stone circles. The usual.

The uncanny calls to him like a beacon, and he follows its signal wherever it leads, hoping that one day it will shine a light on who he really is. So far, the clues haven't added up to much, but now, a mad woman is stalking him, he’s tripping over dead bodies in the street, and he keeps having terrifying apocalyptic visions.

Can Joseph put the pieces together and figure out his identity? And if he does, will he be able to live with who he really is?

Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy series. Listen to Magic Eater now for a pause-resisting tale you cannot stop listening to!

Well, this is the first audiobook I have ever listened to. So I don’t know wether it was the book, the narrator or what. But I did not go for this like the other Uncanny books. Firstly like some of the other reviewers I thought it was a bit silly and being honest I didn’t think the narrator was the right choice. Still wouldn’t mind mind trying another audiobook to see the difference. Recommended.

Honestly the most enjoyable book I’ve listened to all year; it had me grinning from start to finish!
It’s a brilliant blend of peril and idiocy! The world needs more people like Joseph and we all definitely need more books about him!
The humour is done so well; maintains the perfect level of darkness and (almost) slapstick comedy. I wish I had the skills to better highlight how good a listen it is!
Oh and let’s not forget the brilliant narration. Dave does an amazing job with the pacing, character voices, intensity and the skill he puts into the character humour is perfect. He makes you feel like your right there in the book with him.
Brilliant!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

“I hoped it was something nice and not at all deathy”

Another hit in the Uncanny Kingdom.

Magic Eater has more humor than darkness, but the mystery is still there and this time we meet Joseph Lake, he is kinda stupid, but in a good fun way. And Eva made me laugh out loud so many times. I must say I adore this character and his story is wonderfully written. The pace is fast and the twist at the end broke my heart, I did not see it coming. There isn't a lot going on, but the authors have a way to tell the story that never let you bored.

Mr. Dave Jones has a variety of voices, his skills as a voice actor is incredible.

Thank you for the free promo code in exchange for a truthful review. This book was definitely not my normal listen but I really enjoyed it. The story line was a bit strange to start with but then it had me hooked, I think this had a lot to do with the fantastic voice of the narrator. If you like twitchy magic books you will like this book.

Enjoyable listen

I like that the main character doesn't take things so serious even in the face of unbelievable things that would make anyone think they are completely losing it.
