Ghost Eaters

A Novel

De: Clay McLeod Chapman

Narrado por: Elisabeth Rodgers

A terrifying supernatural audiobook that explores ghosts, grief, and god complexes

Ever since their on-again, off-again college romance, Erin hasn’t been able to set a single boundary with charismatic but reckless Silas, who has been chasing the next big high since graduation. When he texts her to spring him out of rehab, she knows enough is enough. She is ready to start a career, make new friends, and meet a great guy—even if that means cutting Silas off. But when Silas turns up dead from an overdose, Erin’s world falls apart.

When Erin learns that Silas discovered a drug that allowed him to see the dead, she doesn’t believe it’s real but agrees to a pill-popping “séance” to ease her guilt and pain. When she steps back into the real world, she starts to see ghosts everywhere from her Southern hometown’s bloody and brutal past. Are the effects pharmacological or something more sinister? And will Erin be able to shut the Pandora’s box of horrors she has opened?

With propulsive momentum, bone-chilling scares, and dark meditations on the weight of history, this Southern horror will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown.

unexpected!

what a great book! it was not what I thought and I loved it! I listened to the whole book in a day and a half. I couldn't get enough.

excellent depiction of addiction

the story is a harrowing depiction of addiction with a welcome supernatural edge to it! I wanted to bring special attention to the narration as well, it is fantastic!

utterly gut-wrenching.

So real to me that I took a week and four other interspersed books to finish it. As a horror story, this is exceptionally visceral and terrify. This is a good thing. As a story about addiction, of any kind, it is a treatise on sorrow, co-dependency and the power of self-love. The blending of these two is brilliantly done.

The narrator kept the desperation front and center and yet you can feel how rational the characters think that they are behaving.

Still crying. This is a good thing too.

soo sad

this book is really good, but not giving anything away. it describes a couple of hard hitting subjects really well, through the lens of a un traditional ghost story

nah

I was hopeful, especially intrigued by the premise but I really struggled to finish.

Topics

I agree with most of the reviews. It was great and very interesting. It is like she opened a better understanding of the dead.

Unexpectedly deep

This was definitely not what I was expecting from a ghost story. A haunting in more ways than one listen!

Let’s get Haunted !

So I was looking for a scary book.. I saw this as a recommendation on instagram.

I dig it.

It had me 1st chapter. It is a heart breaking story with a kinda… happy ending.. It went places I didn’t think we would go. I like how things she says comes back around later. There are a couple drags through the story that if it was a film would probably be cut. If that makes any sense. But all in all I enjoyed it and I’ll see what else this author has going on.

Do it! Let’s get HAUNTED!

wow! what an unexpected gem!!

In all honesty, I rarely try a book that's not been read, rated, and reviewed a lot first bc I don't have a lot of free time so I wanna get right to listening to a great book. But, this one just looked rly interested...

I'm so glad I gave it a try! It was like a Ya meets life crisis meets Nancy Drew Mystery! lol (maybe I'll come up with a better explanation later but that's what I'm going with for now 😂)

This is about the hell that accompanies drug addiction

This story wasn’t really about ghosts; it was all about the hell that accompanies drug addiction, with a smidge of “White Privilege” lamentations sprinkled throughout like spores riding an air current through a crack house. Don’t waste your time or your Audible credit unless you’re looking for encouragement to escape your addiction(s) or help a loved one do the same.
