Fifty people go to sleep in their own beds and wake up in a compound in the middle of the jungle. Men and women from all walks of life with only one thing in common - none of them know where they are or how they got there. Alex is a paratrooper. Yael is a mathematician. Max is a law professor. They can't leave - a lethal barrier surrounds the facility, but no one knows if it's there to keep them in, or to keep something out.

Several hundred miles away Alex Hunter’s family is holidaying in southern Italy when Mount Etna begins to shake, and ash begins to blanket the countryside....

Story
Rusty Moss has raised his niece Mia since she was a baby. Now that she's almost 18, he's worried that the life he's given her - living off the grid in a cabin deep in the woods - is holding her back from her full potential. But that angst gets pushed aside when the undead forest animals arrive. At first it's just a squirrel - shockingly violent and almost impossible to kill. Followed by a grizzly bear, also aggressive and resilient, even when point-blank shotgun blasts to the face are involved.

Paleontologist Grant Coleman and activist Janaina Silva are recruited by Thana Katsoros for a top secret expedition, one in search of a live Apatosaurus on a plateau deep in the Amazonian rain forest. But their plane crashes short of their destination, and the entire group faces a terrifying fight for survival. This isolated area hosts unknown animals more fearsome than they’d expected, including giant ants and flesh-eating pterosaurs. Even worse, Katsoros’ agenda has more to it than meets the eye, and Grant soon fears that it doesn’t include all of them getting back alive. Will any expedition members survive to be rescued, or will they be devoured by the creatures indigenous peoples call the monsters in the clouds?

A journey into the deepest, darkest jungles of the Venezuelan Amazon...and a primeval place and time that mankind was never meant to exist in. Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father, stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between author Arthur Conan Doyle and his great-great-grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908. Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor’s expedition was the basis for Doyle’s fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long-extinct creatures.

Story
It begins with a ghost story around a campfire. Teenagers out on a walking trip, trying to act brave in front of each other. But as the walk gets underway and the boys begin to fall out, odd things start to happen. Noises in the night. A severed rabbit’s foot outside someone’s tent. Soon, the boys begin to disappear. As panic sets in and a storm approaches, the remaining boys must band together to face a darkness not even the local ghost stories could help them predict.
Summary
The swamp belongs to them. Humans are only prey.
Deep in the overgrown swamps of Florida, where humans rarely dare to enter, lives a race of creatures long thought to be only the stuff of legend. They walk upright but are stronger, taller and more brutal than any man. And when a small boat of tourists, held captive by a fleeing criminal, accidentally kills one of the swamp dwellers’ young, the creatures are filled with a terrifyingly human emotion - a merciless lust for vengeance that will paint the trees red with blood.

Better Than The Title Implies...Give it A Listen
Where does Swamp Monster Massacre rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I was afraid this might be a really poorly written blood and guts splatter-fest. It was actually pretty entertaining. By no means is this a literary jewel but it entertained and held my interest. There were parts that made me laugh out loud. And the main character is memorable. I wish it was longer.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Michael Ray Davis?
Michael Ray Davis is not a bad narrator. His voice definitely gave depth to the main character. However, there are several instances where he runs over punctuation and paragraph stops. It made it unnecessarily difficult to follow who was thinking/saying what.

Perfect match of awesome story and narration.
Michael has the perfect voice for the main character Rooster. Plenty of action, bodies, and monsters to keep this story going full speed the entire book. Easily one of those 'needs a sequel' books. Would easily rate this on the same ground as Peter Clines 14.

MISTER IS FOR OLD MEN
SURRENDER PARTIES
Having read a short story by Shea called Autopsy, I was wanted to see if all his writing was as good. This was good in a different way. While Autopsy was scary, this was gory and funny. I don't know if it is Redneck, Mobster or Florida humor, I just know it is funny. This has MORE humor than THE FRENCH HAVE SURRENDER PARTIES. It is faced paced with some cool characters. Beware that it goes from funny to gory. Also beware that the language is very adult.
Narrator was good

If you are looking for a fun, short-ish, voilent adventure novel, this is a great listen. The story is exactly what it sounds like, and if that is what you are looking for, you will get it. The voice performance is strong.

Cringeworthy...and not in a good way.
Most people know that writers write, primarily, if not only, for themselves. I get that, but there are authors like Grieg Beck, Warren Fahy , Niven, Pournelle , and Barnes - and others - who have created brilliantly thrilling stories with fantastically unique terrifying creatures, all without trashing their own work with precipitously perverse endings. But Hunter Shea gets to be who he is, which certainly shouts out loud in this piece of work. Got my money back . Deleted it from my computer.

An Exciting Fast-Paced Thriller!
Would you consider the audio edition of Swamp Monster Massacre to be better than the print version?
I've not read the print version, so this is a difficult question to answer. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the audible.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Swamp Monster Massacre?
There were so many! The ending was epic and I think this book needs a sequel. The segment when Rooster goes after the final three monsters was one I won't soon forget.
Which character – as performed by Michael Ray Davis – was your favorite?
Rooster. He was a complex character - a common criminal with a heart and a past that I'd like to read more about to fully understand the man he became.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The author alternated the terror with humor that had me laughing out loud rendering needed welcome sporadic relief from the gripping tension and gore.
Any additional comments?
The author has a very engaging writing style that took me a little bit to become accustomed to, but which I grew to enjoy. I was in awe by his very entertaining use of colloquialism and colorful language. He very artfully used the setting in South Florida and specifically, in the Everglades, to intensify the suspense. He did not hold back in describing the gore from severed limbs to dismemberment.
Michael Ray Davis, the narrator, was quite good. His voice was very clear and he effortlessly captured the essence of the characters. I could hear the tension, fear and desperation in their voices, perfect for this thriller. He easily differentiated between most of the characters - a few sounded similar, but, after a few seconds, I was able to pick up who was speaking. Occasionally, his narration seemed to run-on without a pause, but, after listening for a bit, I became used to it and, that narrating style seemed to fit with the street talk aspect. I did replay a few sections more than once as I didn't want to miss anything.

B-horror movie fans rejoice
B-horror movie fans rejoice, Hunter Shea has brought you the ultimate tale of bloody terror! Starts off very quickly with lots of action. We are introduced to Rooster not a very good man at all. He kills a drug lord, in self defense of course, and is now on the run from his minions. Hijacking a tour boat full of as random a cast of colorful characters as if Shea picked them out of a hat. This is not a bad thing, but very reminiscent of my favorite B-horror flicks. Soon shipwrecked in the middle of the Everglades they find out the hard way that they are not alone.
After accidentally killing a furry ape like creature. Our band of hooligans are now in a race to survive the primal revenge of these beasts. Finding that primitive monsters have tricks up their proverbial sleeves.
With an original and engaging writing style that I enjoyed a lot Shea has created a unique and fast tour of the Everglades full of ridiculous violence, very descriptive gore, severed limbs and all. Straight up monster horror through and though. I look forward to more!

Refreshing monster story
Would you listen to Swamp Monster Massacre again? Why?
yeah, it has enough value for a 2nd go
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the story and narration, and the fact that it's a monster story that didn't involve zombies, vampires or werewolves
Have you listened to any of Michael Ray Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't think so, but he did excellent
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes, and I think I did. It kept me up most of the night
