Summary

A gripping literary horror novel about the death of a haunted town

On winter solstice, the birds disappeared, and the mist arrived. 

The inhabitants of Nebulah quickly learn not to venture out after dark. But it is hard to stay indoors: Cabin fever sets in, and the mist can be beguiling too. 

Eventually only six remain. Like the rest of the townspeople, Pete has nowhere else to go. After he rescues a stranded psychic from a terrible fate, he’s given a warning: He will be dead by solstice unless he leaves town - soon.

Brilliant narration

Wow!! Can't say enough about the story and David Linski's narration read with honesty and heart.
This like Duma Key will be one audio book I'll come back to many times over the years. I hope Mr Linski reads more in this genre as he brought life to each character and he never overplayed for impact the main characters struggles which echo throughout the book. I'd like to thank him and the author.

this really felt all over the place. felt like the author couldn't decide the genre of book.

two stars as intrigue made me finish book. but quite predictable.

More depth than I was expecting

I found this gripping throughout with the simple character interactions and the narrators introspection as the more direct 'action' sections. The closing two hours however had me on the of my seat. A warm and heartfelt narration made me feel I knew the residents of Nebulah myself. Loved it

Brilliant

Read this in book form and when I saw it was included decided to try it out as an audio book. Great performance, great story. Well worth a lesson especially while still included.

creepy!

the narrator has a fabulous accent that had me hooked. The main character is very believeable and the story is the perfect amount of creepy. Fans of Stephen King will love this

A great akin to King

It'd be difficult to not compare this to a King novel - a dead (or close enough) town with night time horrors building on personal demons with a pretty beautiful way with words. The few central characters have fair depth (though some peripheral ones fall quite flat) and are in no way perfect. Themes of loss, regret and unglamorous survival feel authentic. I reckon the inevitable comparisons to King (think Salem's Lot especially) might be both a curse and a blessing. Absolutely on the better end of the free-to-subscribers horror with its faults but also actual tension imho. I'd probably rate between 3.5 and 4 stars (some to be docked for the audio, I don't know why, but at times it sounds like they got another person to patch up the narration for a few seconds?)

Quite enjoyed this one.

Didn’t try and explain the phenomenon that occurred in Nebula. I liked the characters - even the unlikable/flawed ones.

Ended abruptly but that worked with the story.

A good story included in membership

Unusual and unpredictable

Interesting take on the haunted house (a haunted town) with unusual location giving freshness and a dark creepy quality... Left me with a shiver and a need to immediately listen to a bit of light comedy lest my dreams be effected.... Days later its still in my head, whereas many other novels are quickly forgotten. Recommended highly.
