I am deleting this dreadful thing from my Audible library. It was terrible from beginning to end. The main character is a whiny, miserable man so unhappy with the life he has made for himself that he takes it out on everyone around him - especially his family. Not recommended. Just turn on the news if you feel like killing more of your soul.

Oh, and for those who will say on the socials that "you should always say something nice because times are tough" here you go:

The wife and son deserved better than that sad sack, mess of a man and I hope he gets eaten by a bear leaving them both to live out their days in peace and happiness because he's no longer in their lives!

Final Rating: ⭐

Publisher Plot Synopsis 

He went on the road expecting the worst of America, but what if the worst of America was also in him? This is the unsettling story of a man in a midlife crisis and his unexpected awakening, by award-winning writer Emily Raboteau.

Poison-tongued film critic Reginald Wright is known for his creative insults and intolerance for the garbage culture, insufferable rudeness, and thoughtless racism of predictably common people. Now, against his better judgment, and with a marriage in crisis, he's attempting a getaway in the Poconos that quickly fulfills his every low expectation. In fact, it's becoming a nightmare. And that's just what Reginald needs to wake up.

Emily Raboteau's The Tangled Woods is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.
