About this listen

The town of Stillwater has a very unwelcome resident.

The town of Stillwater has been dying - the long and painful death of a town ravaged by floods and haunted by the ghosts of all who had lived there. Yet this most recent flood has brought something with it - a creature that nests among the good folks of Stillwater...and feeds off them. The children who haven't disappeared whisper the same word - "vampire". But they're wrong. What has come to Stillwater is something much more horrific.

a great story that sadly doesn't flow very well due to sloppy writing and a narrator who would be better suited to reading children's books or making minecraft videos on Youtube. the authors repeated use of words that do not fit the context of some scenarios and some very odd and unrelateble analogies used to describe certain things, thoughts and happenings were like fingernails being raked across a chalk board to me at times (auther would have probably used something like fingers plucking at cellophane as an analogy or something equally bizarre) and the narrators voices for some characters at moments of stress or excitement made me cringe so hard I thought i may be a seizure. BUT... if you have a few unused credits and your looking for a different take on a small town horror that has some good qualities give it a shot.... you can always get a refund

an enjoyable story that kept me listening despite some some very annoying flaws

100% suggest reading if you enjoy small town horror like I do. I thought the narrator did a good job too! very much feels like a shorter,abeit smaller, Salems Lot!

Fun Little Story!

My comments:

I was unable to get into this book, if i'd not been reading for a book club I would not have finished this one. I found the pacing slow and although the description of the book drew me in it took a while to get going so by the time it got better i'd lost interest. I don't mind slow paced books however this one given its subject matter took ttime to get going. I also found I struggled to relate to the characters and did not really feel as excited as I expected given what this book was about.

found this one hard to get into.
