Nightfall

Nightmareland, Volume One (Nightmareland Chronicles, Book 1)

De: Daniel Barnett

Narrado por: Adam Gold

NIGHTFALL is the first volume of the NIGHTMARELAND CHRONICLES, an ongoing adventure horror epic following one man's journey to reach his estranged daughter in a world claimed by eternal night.

"Tomorrow died on the last morning of May. There were those who saw it happen, who watched the shadow fall, who felt the chop of the guillotine as the world lost its head. Everyone else witnessed only the aftermath, for the event itself lasted no longer than a moment. They stepped outside from windowless rooms, they climbed up from crowded subways, they pulled back the blinds to let in the sun, and found the nightmare waiting for them."

But the dark is only the beginning

was engaging

enjoyed the listen. pretty well put together. more dark then horror. would be interesting in listening to more.

Amazing collaboration of writing and narration

Wow!!!! Perfect combination. Daniel Barnett's writing, characters and storytelling matched with Adam Gold's performance is outstanding. I am fully immersed in this story and it is just getting started. This is going to be a wild ride. Anxiously waiting for more from this duo, I tip my cap to these two masters of their craft.

Get this one! It's worth it!

I listened to the first two books of the 'Nightmareland Chronicles' and was so hooked that I couldn't wait for more audible and bought the kindle version of three, four, five, and six. Currently on four and enjoying it immensely! The characters are relatable (some likeable, some horrible), and the premise is unusual and really believable. To put my adoration of this series in perspective, I'm over 60 and usually asleep by 9:30. Book three kept me up until 3:00am because I just had to know what was next! Loving it!

Beautifully Written, Excellent Start to Series!

Picking up Nightfall with no idea what was in store turned out to be an excellent decision. In this novella sized tidbit, Daniel Barnett did everything he needed to do to ensure I would continue reading this series. Well freaking done, sir. Well done!

I was sucked in right from the moment the sun went out. That's not the only issue though, and that's where my curiosity was piqued. Some people lost it when the sun went out. Some people are dancing naked in their front yards. Some people are staring off into space. Some people are killing themselves. Why? Usually this is where I would say, you'll have to read this to find out. This time I'm saying you'll have to read this and continue on with the series to find out and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Lastly, I'm interested in reading more of this author's writing. Some phrases really stuck with me, but not only that, the writing itself is far above the level I was expecting. For me, writing that is vivid and descriptive can be a treat on its own, over and above pushing the narrative forward and that is what I've found here. (In my mind, I'm thinking of Shirley Jackson and how her word choices and descriptive talents added more to the story of Hill House, over and above the narrative itself. "...whatever walked there, walked alone.")

The narrator's performance here was impressive and I especially liked his voicing of John Hawthorne. There were also a few audio effects which I think added to the story, overall.

Nightfall is impressive in its prose and in its vision. I can't wait to see what happens next!

A tale that will be remembered...

The author's captivating storytelling had me completely absorbed, with each word seeming meticulously chosen. The narrator's delivery only deepened the experience, perfectly complementing the author's writing. Their collaboration created a truly immersive journey that drew me in further with every moment—a mesmerizing and beautifully haunting blend of narration and story.
