About this listen

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.

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

Quite enjoyed this one.

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

creepy!

The horror is minimal, more of a human drama but my God it ticks every box.
Unforgiving and relentless.
Written so well and with such detail it leaves you hooked despite its long chapters.
You really feel for every character.
Ignore the comment on the bad Scottish accent, that happens only once.
My only critique is that there is a lot of resubmission recordings where the audio quality drops and it’s noticeable and quite frequent but other than that, this story is that of true terror and tragedy; especially the last 3 chapters.

Heartbreaking and Gripping

I do love a subtle horror and this book scratches that itch. In particular I like how the exposition is drop fed throughout, adding pieces to the puzzle right up to the end. The protagonist is also very well developed; flawed but unpretentious and likeable which is what I need from a main character.

I will knock one mark off just because I feel like the ending left me feeling a bit short changed, wanting some kind of explanation of what had happened and not getting it.

Compelling story with great pacing

For me - the story was not memorable chapter to chapter, I did not store the story in my head and each listen I had to read the the blurb to remember what the story was about. It just did not roll right, no middle structure and the last two chapters were a blur.
The narrator had the lovely old drawl that promised more than the book delivered.
It wasn’t a terrible story just a bit jumbled in places and not captivating enough for me, if I had bought it as a hard copy paper book then I probably would have passed it to someone else by chapter four.
