About this listen

No one knows where he came from. No one knows what he wants. No one dares ask about his strange physical abnormalities. For a quiet suburban neighborhood, things are about to change. And it starts with a knock at the door.

Follow his rules. Don't call the police. Listen to his lessons. That's what Jack and his family were told. Held captive in their own house, they must face a growing storm of mental and physical trauma as they try to just stay alive.

But even if Jack can survive the horror of his childhood, will his tormentor ever leave him alone? And who is he really?

Who is Tommy Taffy?

Loved the narration from David D’Andrea

The character of Tommy Taffy is truly terrifying villain, who seems that not one spot of goodness has even been in his body. The terror he leaves behind him.
Maybe listen in the day time.

This is definitely not my usual genre but what a great book to listen to during this spooky season!! Tommy Taffy barged in to the family home and took over…for years. The psychological torment was vivid and the action non-stop. The author does a great job making you care for these characters, and then takes you on a roller coaster of emotional upheaval. And what an epic conclusion!!

David D’Andrea was outstanding as the solo narrator in this story. He really acted out these scenes with high emotion!! I never had one issue with keeping characters straight, no matter how many were in a scene. And that laugh….perfection!!!

Perfect for the season!
