About this listen

They slime, they ooze, they kill....

One female slug can lay one and half million eggs a year, a fact which holds terrifying consequences for the people of Merton. As the town basks in the summer heat, a new breed of slug is growing and multiplying. In the waist-high grass, in the dank, dark cellars, they are acquiring new tastes, new cravings. For blood. For flesh. Human flesh....

I read Slugs when I was 14 & was intrigued to revisit a story I remember being gruesome & idiosyncratic. I was not disappointed! The story itself is engaging, macabre, disgusting with the perfect dash of raunch. However, Simon Aitchison’s narration took the book to a whole new level. His baritone voice just delivers. It’s the kind of voice that makes you want to settle down with a whisky in front of a fire & listen to stories. His accents, character portrayals, one liners are seamless & comically brilliant. It was just delicious, grisly, guilty pleasure. Please give him a Detective series with an evil serial killer. I will settle in for the rest of the winter :)

What a sublime delight!

Woeful reading and ‘voices’ of characters spoils a semi decent story. I won’t purchase another audio book with this narrator

Appalling narration

A good story, well read, would recommend if you enjoy good horror and/or Shaun Hutson.

This is a brilliantly written story with plenty of stomach turning gore, especially where the worms are coming out of his eyes! Yuck! Quite funny in places but edge of the seat listening from start to finish. Definitely not for bedtime so leave plenty of time to finish it as you will want to get to the end and see what happens.. Highly recommended. Simon Aitchison's narration was second to none bringing the characters and whole story to life, well worth it's 5 star rating.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Put me off gardening for a while!

I first read this as a paperback way back in the mid 1980's (showing my age) and enjoyed it then as I was a big horror fan at the time. Seeing this released as an audiobook I couldn't resist as it meant I could listen while working and driving the work van.
The story itself is quite dated but still entertaining. The narration is excellent and adds to the story, the suspense and the overall enjoyment of this 40+ year old classic.

Dated but fun
