I first read the book in 1988. It was my instant Stephen King novel. Audible had given it to me again with a great narrator. I love how he reads this fantastic book.

The first hour of narration is definitely grating; however, the story is rewarding if you just wait it out.

This book was a favorite of mine in my teenage years, so I thought I'd revisit it. Unfortunately I couldn't get into it, largely because of the narration. I found his voice irritating and distracting, almost a caricature. Oh well, I guess some things are best left in the past.

It’s good. But make the sequel available. I have no idea why you can’t purchase Black House on here!
