Audio Review: Borrasca by C.K. Walker

Image
Borrasca by C.K. Walker, Dark Fiction on Audio Sam Walker and his family have moved to a small town in the Ozarks.The seemingly picturesque town is a perfect place for them to settle down. Soon Sam finds friendship in some of the native children Kimber and Kyle. Unfortunately, everything is not as it seems. As Kimber and Kyle open up Sam's eyes to a local urban legend, this sleepy small town becomes much more dark. Shadows of the past are attempting to rise up into a final requiem of frightening proportions. Will everyone fall to the legend of Borrasca? 4 1/2 out of 5, here's why: I just realized that I have never reviewed a NoSleep production . That's going to have to change because they are doing some amazing work and I need to stop keeping them all to myself. I listen to a ton of podcasts but this is the one I look forward to every Sunday morning when I'm making breakfast or cleaning up someone's mess. Borrasca is a longer story than typically foun...

Fiction Review: Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates

My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked this audiobook up blind at a local library sale because I recognized the author name and, well, I’m not one to leave a cheap audio sitting on the sale table.

It’s also about the fallout that emotionally ruins the boys’ parents, who at the beginning of the story are deeply in love and very happy, but slowly begin to d...

Horror Review: Hell House by Richard Matheson

Image
This classic didn't wow me but would you look at those lovely locks on the narrator?! Hell House by Richard Matheson ,  Narrated by Ray Porter Horror Fiction ,  Audiobook  9+ Hours Released June 2009 Amazon  ♦  Goodreads Belasco House is the Mt. Everest of haunted houses. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity. But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death.   A rich guy offers to pay a group of people to stay a few nights in a haunted house to prove there is life after death. All previous attempts to do such a stupid thing at this particular house have ended very badly for the suckers brave or stupid or hard-up enough to have a sleep-over. It’s no different this time around. I read this book closely on the heels of finishing up Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House which was probably a big mistake on my p...
