About this listen

Jonathan Martin Delaware Deseronto is a six-foot-five serial killer with a problem. He's stuck out on I-476 in a heavy November rainstorm with two flat tires and the dead bodies of a cop and a coed named Marissa Madison in his trunk. Desperate to get off the highway, he drives his car on its back rims towards exit six. The car stalls on the ramp, and Deseronto uses the last of its momentum to plunge over the crest of a steep slope and crash into a length of concrete pipe below. The car comes to rest on the edge of a construction site where machines are positioned to tear down an old Motel 6.

For Deseronto, the worst is yet to come. Marissa Madison had been a psychic of sorts while alive, using her ability to assist people in their personal journeys. Now the ghost of Marissa will utilize her strange gift, trapping Deseronto in the abandoned motel and forcing him to live the last fatal week of her own life as a passive passenger in her body.... Soon Deseronto will experience something truly horrific: the mind-numbing terror of being stalked by himself.

Poetically dark with flowing prose and needle sharp descriptions. Unexpected and different in the best ways.

Initially found the story disjointed but gave it another try and it's actually pretty good. It does retell itself from different characters perspectives a little bit but once I really listened to it properly I got sacked into the story completely and finished the whole thing in one day.
Compelling, thrilling, horrific, masterful. I'm just sorry it took me a second turn to appreciate it, I might have missed out!
Narrator was excellent, one of my new favourites

Great narration, warmed up to story
