About this listen

The lone survivor of a zombie apocalypse makes a chilling discovery in an abandoned hospital in this short story in the Mountain Man universe.

A survivor of undead suburbia, mountain man Augustus “Gus” Berry is extremely careful when it comes to his actions and movements. He takes no chances and painstakingly weighs every decision—until he sets out for the hospital at the edge of town, hoping to discover a treasure trove of essential supplies. Soon, Gus will experience terror the likes of which he's never encountered before . . .

What made the experience of listening to The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story the most enjoyable?

I thought it was very descriptive, and held my interest even though I wasn't sure what to expect next. It is not a book I should have listened to driving home on my own on a dark wet night. But saying that I then sat up in bed listening to the end because I needed to know what happened.

What other book might you compare The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to, and why?

Can honestly say it was as scarey as Dean Coombes Watchers. They are not my normal read.

What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?

Excellent performance

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me hold my breathe in suspense. Makes your heart beat fast. Not good when driving

Any additional comments?

I needed to Finnish the book but won't be listening to it again, that is just me just not in my comfort zone.

Very discriptive

This was so f****** scary. It gave me the extended TWD episodes (you remember that one of the special short's with the nurse, right?), kinda vibe, but it was original in a completely different way. The sense of urgency and terror was very well written and enjoyable to read, it was both relatable and terrifying, and the characters were well fleshed out too. I was very lucky that this story was a free one, because I immediately bought the whole series, it looks like it will be quite a read, so will keep you posted!
If you want to try and see if this style of writing and exposition is your cup of tea, give it a go! You will not regret it.

babies... BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is quite a dark, gory zombie tale.

Darker than the Walking Dead, In my opinion. Some of the aspects of the story seem to be in there just for shock value. Not really my taste, I won't bother with any more in the series.

Great short story to listen to, when unwinding for bed. Started to listen and very quickly (unlike some books) I was well and truly hooked !!!!. Even continued on once the story was over, to listen to the next mountain man saga, again hooked before the end of chapter one !.

I liked the look of this book...and being free...well you can't get better than that! Lol. The narrator delivered very well, good pace and an easy voice to listen to. The story was well written and I enjoyed the characters. This type of story is very over done these days, zombie apocalypse...survival etc ...and I'm a great fan of the Walking Dead, however, I would buy the next short story as I enjoyed it BUT I just hope they keep the same narrator...I hate when a good one is changed to a crap one! Overall...worth a listen to.

Well worth a try
