About this listen

For the town of Randall, Arizona, the terror starts quietly, oddly - a senile woman in her 80s becomes pregnant. Then the town's beloved minister mysteriously disappears, leaving his church and home hideously defiled by blasphemous obscenities scrawled in blood. Farmers going out to their fields in the morning find their herds of goats slaughtered. Then, as the terror intensifies, the farmers themselves are massacred. The town begins to smell of death, and the trust which has bound neighbors to one another turns to ashes. But the relentless tide of death is only an augury of a far more unspeakable cataclysm. A stranger arrives, an itinerant preacher with mad eyes and an elemental presence named Brother Elias. He seeks out three men: The sheriff, tough, no nonsense Jim Weldon; the new minister, a gentle God-fearing soul named Father Andrews; and Gordon Lewis, a young newlywed whose pregnant wife Marina is the unknowing center of the coming fury. Together, these people must face an implacable force of evil as old as the world and as relentless as the desert sun....

Interesting book. The first 90% is good - building a good picture of the town and the creepy events befalling its citizens. The ending is just too abrupt. The final confrontation is over in a few moments, it feels like. Otherwise, we’ll read, of a little dramatic, and some parts are a bit dated but I enjoyed it.

Great atmosphere, Abrupt finish

Another brilliant story by Bentley Little…. Utterly terrifying, I think my face has shown a level of disgust for most of this book!

This one could really do with a trigger warning though as it’s quite emotive for baby loss

Can’t wait to listen to the next… but which to pick???

Utterly Terrifying

Another good story from Bentley Little, with many parallels with others he has written. Quite a few similarities to The Town. Well narrated by David Stifel. Nothing more to add despite being prompted to add more text to satisfy the review requirements.

Enjoyable story
