Interesting, but didn’t hit the mark

Although I really enjoyed this book, there were a few things that broke the spell for me.
The biggest issue I had was the antagonists dialogue, which without giving any spoilers, didn’t fit the character. There wasn’t a lot of character growth and there was only 2-3 characters I felt I cared about, even though there was a large handful in the story. The book started off pretty strong, but left me wanting more in the story’s end. The whole issue of the forest was wrapped up in the final 5 minutes of the book, which also left enough time for an epilogue. I can’t help but wish the book had a LITTLE more to it.

Good Book

A great whiplash fast ride from start to finish. Has plenty of gore and a mediocre story. Narrator wasn’t great imho

Lots of blood and guts

A bit of light entertainment with lots of guts and gore, and monsters galore.

I loved the prologue with the forest coming into existence, it was a really unique and interesting scene.

Lots of interesting creatures that were a bit different to the usual werewolves and vampires etc.

Aha!! Loved It

This was a great horror story!! It was a mash up between Jurassic Park and Cabin In The Woods (the movies not the books)... but unlike them as well. It was so good I will re-listen to it again and again.

A Wild Ride

This was a fun book. I've never read a Jeff Strand book that I didn't like. The collaboration here with the other author certainly proved beneficial.

interesting concept, it just fell short

as the title says, it os an interesting concept, it was just a little thin on the implementation. I was quite riveted until it came to the whys & wherefores of the Haunted Forest and that's where it got weak. I won't go into detail as thisbis just my opinion & other listeners might find it hits all the points for them.

Monster Mayhem

The Haunted Forest is a freak phenomenon occurring in rural USA which resulted in massive amount of trees springing up from the ground fully formed presumably out of nowhere. Along with the new forest came along a ton of monsters and horrific creatures.

Now there isn't just one or two type of monsters the forest is jam packed full of them from huge spiders, dragons, demons and all sorts of weird and disgusting hybrids. So of course the place is marketed as there is cash to he made selling tours to this new haunted wonderland. Our story follows a halloween haunted forest tour which promises to go further into its depths and offer sights never seen before.

We have our cast of characters and staff who we learn about as the story progresses who are all on the fateful tour when everything that could go wrong does. The tram breaks down and help does not seem to be on the way. What will our crew and passengers do with the creatures looming in the darkness coming closer and closer.

If you even remotely enjoy a creature feature type story you will love this. Its plot is stacked with lots of monster kills, fights and gore. Its relentless at times and full of tension as our characters attempt to band together to survive the night. We come to understand during the course of the night why the forest was created and where the monsters come from and ultimately who is responsible for all the carnage and it's not what you might expect.

This has massive re-read potential and its just so much fun to be there on this terrifying adventure within the haunted forest tour.

Boredom on the Haunted Forrest Tour

Modern horror is a mix of blood and guts, expendable characters, and incompetent extras. There's nothing to bind you to the characters, nothing to make you root for them, or want them to survive. Character development is not a thing as all of them are just viscera to be fed into the grinder. Unfortunately, this horror tale has all of the above in spades. Just over 4 hrs in and I'm falling asleep. I do not recommend this book.
