About this listen

For lovers of The Strain trilogy and The Thing comes an unforgettable squeamish tale!

"Iain Rob Wright scares the hell out of me!" (J.A. Konrath)

An ancient land hides a new threat….

The Scottish Highlands; a sparse, mountainous region some say was carved by the gods themselves. Few places are as untouched as this harsh, prehistoric landscape. It is no place for man.

But nestled deep within the wilderness lies a cottage, and behind that cottage is a hill....

When a group of friends travel up from Manchester and hire the cottage for a weekend of boozy fun, they discover a threat far greater than the harsh landscape and unwelcoming weather.

Something deadly lies upon the hill.

And it’s waiting.

If you love claustrophobic horror with a dashing of body-horror then The Spread will knock your socks off.

I was very surprised by this book. There are only so many ways you can ask that skinned cat to jump, believably, through any given hoop. So, a new take on things is always very welcome. I'm not a spoiler so your going to have to read/listen to these books yourselves.
A noteworthy point is how the narration sounds as though we'll heeled thespians have decided to read for Audible. See if you get the same ideas.

good narration great story, my favourite reads are the pulpy British horrors of the 80's Herbert, Smith and like though there is little new to the story the characters and pace kept me quite entertained. The narration was clear and descriptive.

If you are a fan of fast paced, blood curdling terror that will keep you awake at nights, this isn't the book for you. That said it is a very good book with the excellent narration you would expect from Aubrey Parsons. It is a very well written book with an addictive storyline. You will definitely want books two and three when you have listened to this.

A good one of three books.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, but extremely disappointed that you are unable to buy the other audio books without signing up for them

Great story

As a North Manchester lad of 47, still trying to find my place in the world, I can definitely relate to the characters. The scenario and interactions, banter and raw energy seems somewhat familiar. Coarse, funny, brash, charming and downright crude in parts.

I've met more than a few Sean's in my time!

The narrator does a decent job on the accents, and I only cringed a few times. Bravo.

The storys premise was OK, look forward to it's development in the next audio installment.

Listened in one sitting until the early hours, and my only criticism: Too short!



Terrifying Breath of Fresh Air...
