About this listen

Midsommer meets All Quiet on the Western Front in this masterful blend of mystery, adventure, and folk-horror.

In the midst of the First World War, a handful of allied POWs escape the torments of Germany’s most brutal internment camp only to find themselves stranded deep in the merciless wilderness of the Alps.

The locals there are odd, and their traditions ancient. With hushed voices they whisper of a beast that roams the frozen mountains. They call it... The Sarvàn.

This is everything a folks horror story should be. Great characters with back stories that hook you in, make you care...then look out! Loved the ending. Best horror story I've listened to in a long time.

Brilliant.

it took me a couple of attempts to get into this book- only because I have an aversion to war stories. but I stuck with it on the second attempt and as usual with this author the last twist made it worth while.

another good ending

I was expecting a thrill ride, it could've been, all the ingredients were there but... not much suspense, excitement, no thrill's and not much sarvan. Disappointing.

Not what I was expecting.
