Acerca de esta escucha
One of Literary Hub’s Favorite Books of the Year
“Seethingly assured...like all the best horror, [Follow Me to Ground] is an impressive balancing act between judicious withholding and unnerving reveals.” (The Guardian)
A “legitimately frightening” (The New York Times Book Review) debut novel about an otherworldly young woman, her father, and her lover that culminates in a shocking moment of betrayal.
“You’ve never encountered a father-daughter story like Rainsford’s slim debut.” (Entertainment Weekly)
Ada and her father, touched by the power to heal illness, live on the edge of a village where they help sick locals - or “Cures” - by cracking open their damaged bodies or temporarily burying them in the reviving, dangerous Ground nearby. Ada, a being both more and less than human, is mostly uninterested in the Cures, until she meets a man named Samson - and they quickly strike up an affair. Soon, Ada is torn between her old way of life and new possibilities with her lover, and eventually she comes to a decision that will forever change Samson, the town, and the Ground itself.
“Visceral in its descriptions...this unworldly story is a well-crafted and eerie exploration of desire...beautifully intoxicating.” (Shelf Awareness)
In Ada, award-winning author Sue Rainsford has created an utterly bewitching heroine, one who challenges conventional ideas of womanhood and the secrets of the body.
“A triumph of imagination and myth-bending...equal parts beauty and horror [Follow Me to Ground is] unlike anything you will read this year.” (Téa Obreht)

Historia
Opal is a lot of things—orphan, high school dropout, full-time cynic and part-time cashier—but above all, she's a determined to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets them out of Eden, Kentucky, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luck and E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underland, who disappeared over a hundred years ago. All she left behind were dark rumors—and her home. Everyone agrees that it’s best to ignore the uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir, Arthur. Almost everyone, anyway.

Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

Soon, they return from the grave, and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead.

Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative flows like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

One hot summer night, Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a séance. Their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors. Over the next few weeks, Fernanda starts acting strangely—smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rose thorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon, but Lourdes suspects it's something else—something far more ancient and powerful.

Historia
For many children, the summer of 1988 was filled with sunshine and laughter. But for ten-year-old Kris Barlow, it was her chance to say goodbye to her dying mother. Three decades later, loss returns - her husband killed in a car accident. And so, Kris goes home to the place where she first knew pain - to that summer house overlooking the crystal waters of Lost Lake. It’s there that Kris and her eight-year-old daughter will make a stand against grief. But a shadow has fallen over the quiet lake town of Pacington, Kansas. Beneath its surface, an evil has grown.

Loved it! Great performances and very enthralling.
This book is so different and original. It grabs you and keeps you interested throughout. I loved the writing style and the performances really brought it to life.

Great story!
And it flows well.
Downloaded this after seeing a Stephen King tweet about the book.
As I stated, story flows well, characters are realistic and relatable. Reminds me of various types of folk I grew up with, much like “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”

TRIGGER WARNING
I enjoyed the story and narration. But - the underlying subject matter is disturbing. There are themes of pedophilia.

Like nothing you have read before
If you read the reviews here, you’ll find two types: one group states this is like nothing they’ve read before, 5 stars. And another group which mostly hates the whole work.
Count me into the first group, then, because for me literature is adventure. I may not want continuous adventure, like being trapped in Jumanjii, because that’s too exhausting.
But without adventure, what’s there? Boredom. I am a sci-fi reader/listener/watcher for 50 years - most of my life. And I cannot tell you how bored I am of the current endless wave of mind-numbing rants and inter-planetary stomps.
This is different - this was great!!!!!
Maybe audible should allow a search for the most extreme split-opinion reviews of a book. I’d check this out, for sure!

Mythical
I loved this Novel. If you are looking for a book that reads like a TV mini-series or another predictable movie, skip it. If you want a book that touches all your senses and transports you to a new reality, listen to this book. Close your eyes and relax into it. It is like listening to art. The story is mythical. With themes similar to Greek mythology: The father-daughter conflict. The desire to consume and be consumed by love. The continuum of lies that exist in sexually inappropriate relationships. As a surgeon, I loved how they looked inside people for healing but knew that they could never truly enter the mind or psyche. Thank you for writing, Sue Rainsford. I can’t wait to read more.

Interesting premise
I enjoyed the complexity of this book. It takes concentration, though. It is probably one of those books that is better read than listened to, I did find myself going back if I was distracted while listening. That being said, it's one I'm going to be mulling over, which I enjoy. It reminds me most of Michael McDowell, particularly the Blackwater saga. The performance was excellent.

What?!
I didn’t get this plot at all. The whole story was so far fetched — if it wasn’t for the narrator I would have stopped listening. Thumbs down.

I'm torn
The uniqueness of its nature was captivating and alien at the same time. The story plays with you like a proper wild thing, showing only what and when it wants. It gives you nothing you want till the end and beyond. I'm torn between satisfaction and longing to watch it in more wholesome way.

Unique, unlike anything I’ve read.
I liked it, but didn’t love it. It wasn’t as creepy or as horrifying as the reviews say. It would make a really cool movie.
