About this listen

“Master of the macabre” Bentley Little offers a new lesson in fear with this terrifying horror novel.

With a promise of more freedom and a chance to get out from under the thumb of a reactionary school board, the teachers of Tyler High have voted to become a charter school. Instructors and parents alike are thrilled with the prospect of independence. And yet....

The formerly laid-back principal has become unusually strict. And with her toadying secretary, she seems to be running the show. That isn’t all. The janitors no longer work nights because of what they hear. The students are frightened by what they see. And things are happening on school grounds that defy rational explanation. But there is an explanation. It’s just not anything that anyone can begin to believe — or hope to survive.

Really enjoyed this one and read by my favourite narrator. Highly recommended, Bentley has been my top author the last few years.

Excellent, creepy, entertaining and sordid

I have been on a role with Bentley Little audio books. Been loving everyone ans was excited to start this one too.

Well I am sure the book is awesome and the story a great one; sadly though, this particular audiobook has THE worst narrator ever. I tried to 'plough' on through, but just couldn't. Ironically, when he put the voices of the characters on, it was alot better, but his normal voice was just slow, and somehow irritating and wrong.

I had to stop. Hope you find it better, but try the sample first and maybe don't waste a credit.

sigh.

couldn't continue
