Story
In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down, and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.

Story
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Ten years ago, four young men shot some elk and then went on with their lives. It happens every year; it's been happening forever; it's the way it's always been. But this time it's different. Ten years after that fateful hunt, these men are being stalked themselves. Soaked with a powerful Gothic atmosphere, the endless expanses of the landscape press down on these men - and their children - as the ferocious spirit comes for them one at a time.

At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

Summary
The Bram Stoker award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King’s Misery, Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum’s cult hit The Girl Next Door.
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.
One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, "None of what’s going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."
Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.
Critic reviews
“A tremendous book - thought-provoking and terrifying, with tension that winds up like a chain. The Cabin at the End of the World is Tremblay’s personal best. It’s that good.” (Stephen King)

Narrator Problems
Decent story, but the voice that the narrator used for all the male characters sounded like Barney the Dinosaur. This was not something I could grow used to like a bad smell, instead its effect on me grew worse by the the hour. By the conclusion of the book, I couldn't wait for the end.

Can't even finish listening
At the start of the book I found the narration really annoying, but tried to continue to listen for an hour or so. I can't continue due to the breathiness and flatness of the narration. I may decide to read the book at some point, but this was a waste of a credit.

Mixed Bag
It was a struggle to keep listening to the story due to the narration. I agree with another reviewer’s assessment that all the male characters sounded like Barney, it was distracting and frustrating. The story however was good enough that I was able to listen through to the end. I recommend buying the book and reading it rather than listening to it.

Omg I don’t even know where to begin with this book... not to give things away but it was never explained why them? Why now? What is the point of this ending... what happened? Skip this one and spend your money or credit on something else.

Worst Narrator I have ever heard
If you are considering buying this, get the kindle or book version. The audible narrator is so, so, so, so, bad it will ruin the story. It did for me and many others apparently. I had to end up skipping over half of the book bc I couldn’t stand the pathetic performance but I was invested enough in the story to want to hear the end. First time I have ever done that! The entire performance sounds like someone trying to impersonate a sexy robot or something. I can’t even describe how awful it is!

Turn right after 300 yards
I pre-ordered this title, so I was unable to listen to the sample before I bought it. Otherwise I would have known that the narrator sounds exactly like my GPS. The droning of her voice is completely artificial, with every sentence ending in the same flat, uninflected tone. Why anyone would try to sound like this, I cannot say, but I do know that no human being speaks like this without real effort. I'm three hours in, but I just can't get used to it. I think I will return it and buy the Kindle version. If I'm in the mood for audio, I will have my Amazon Alexa read it to me. It would sound less robotic and have more personality than this. (Actually, Alexa has a great personality once you get used to her . . . but now I digress!) I will avoid this narrator in the future.

Patrick Star
Ok premise - execution falls from interesting to tedious, perhaps a ruthless editor could have salvaged the story, but doubtful. I bailed out a little over halfway through. What pushed it over the edge for me? Yep, what everyone else reports: horrendous narration! - just read the other reviews, they are right. The review that called out the female narrator's "interpretation" of all the male voices as the cartoon character Patrick Star is spot on. Run away! Before it's too late!

Incredible Thriller, Annoying Voices
This book is the tightest and most gripping thriller I've read. Its a page-turner all the way to the end. You'll want to talk about it when you finish, "I promise." I'll say that the voice acting was very distracting. The actor had a very nice, soothing voice... for women. All the men's voices sounded identical, like Patrick from SpongeBob.

Different read - not a fan of the narrator
This was thought provoking throughout the entire book - but I just was not a fan of the narrator. Or the last page. Just a tad more at the end would have made this book one of my faves.
