About this listen

 Seven authors enter the manor
Can they survive the story within?
When legendary horror author Mortimer Queen passes, a group of writers find themselves invited to his last will and testament reading expecting a piece of his massive fortune. Each have their own unique connection to the literary icon, some known, some soon to be discovered, and they've been waiting for their chance to step into the author’s shoes for some time.
Instead, they arrive at his grand manor and are invited to play a game. The rules are simple, solve the riddle and progress to the next room. If they don’t, the manor will take one of them for itself.
You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of Mortimer’s family, and like any true horror story, the house is still very, very hungry.
With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone with the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, How to Survive a Horror Story is a bright, biting, thrill-ride that begs us to contemplate how the best horror stories come to be.

Loved the narrating! Absolutely phenomenal with the different voices and tone setting to the story.

Story was overall fun and kept me going with every chapter - never a dull moment.

The plot twist was kind of mild but fun nonetheless!

Fun performance to a fun story

This modern day gothic horror is a masterpiece of originality whilst learning on older horror story tropes. I devoured this from beginning to end, in one sitting and I live with unmedicated ADHD so my attention span like that of a goldfish unless something really hooks me in .... and by God did this brilliant piece of literature really delivered, and hooked me in good and proper. Do yourself a favor if you enjoy horror and read this asap!

Love It. You Have to Read!
