About this listen

Horror is what Dan Law enjoys. He loves to read horror novels as a way to escape from his teaching job, from his loneliness, from the everyday dullness of life in Silver Lake. That’s what Dan lives for. When a new bookstore opens in town, every visitor receives a free book of their own. A book that tells their own personal story...a story they have to follow to the brutal end. As Silver Lake’s population descends into violent savagery, Dan finds he is no longer living for horror novels - he’s living inside one.

lot of running back and forth. Became tedious and boring. There was a lot of actions by the characters that didn't add to the story.

I liked the concept.

I loved the story, but I really struggled with the narrator. there was little to no emotion in his voice. it was like he was just going through the motions. I had to persevere as I loved the storyline.

What a gem!

I chose this one at random, having not heard of the author beforehand and it didn’t disappoint! Loved every minute. Only critique I’d have is how long it took Dan and Lori to clue on to what was happening but overall a great listen. Will be searching for the same author for my next listen

It was a good story, something different. Performed well with believable characters.
The main character was not without flaws. Sounds like the Author is a Stephen King fan.

I enjoyed the actual story (reminded me of older Stephen King books) but the narrators boringly monotone voice was hard to get used to. My advice is to see if you can find this somewhere else with a different narrator.

Good story but boring narration

I enjoyed this book, great characters and story line just kept you hooked to the end. I loved listening to the narrator; he reads so beautifully. Very similar to Stephen King so I will be listening to more of Davids books. Loved it.

Brillant Narration
