About this listen

 “Old-school creepy… a five-star horror novel.” STEPHEN KING

A mind-bending speculative thriller in which the sudden appearance of a mountain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean leads a group of scientists to a series of jaw-dropping revelations that challenge the notion of what it means to be human.

IF YOU EVER READ THIS,

TELL OTHERS.

DON’T COME HERE.

When a mountain mysteriously appears in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a group of scientists are sent to investigate.

Explorer Harry Tunmore agrees to join the secret mission – and he has his own reasons beyond scientific curiosity . . .

But the higher the team ascend, the stranger things become. Time moves differently. Memories of their lives before the mountain begin to fade.

What, or who, will they discover at the top?

Another wonderful narration by the master Peter Kenny, a delight to listen to.

The story of Harold embarking on an adventure that becomes both fantastical and driven by unseen forces. The letters to his niece are a nice way of storytelling, so you only ever understand what is happening through Harold’s interpretations.
