Classic horror, good book!

Classic horror tale that I enjoyed listening to. Good characters, interesting storyline kept me guessing and the narration was well done!

It was a solid story

I did enjoy this overall. The story tends to meander at times and I will admit I got lost a few times, but overall this story was entertaining and creepy.

Grant goes for the grave!

Grant has written another series of books that I loved, so I figured I'd give this a whirl. I've gotten them all so far and just binged the first two books on Audible. He does the old Universal-styled monsters proud with some fresh takes and ideas, so you don't feel like you're watching a 1930s flick or reading some Elizabethian yarn. He's got a great style and an obvious love for weird stuff and monsters. Hoke does an admirable job telling the tale, making you live it out in your mind.

Classic Monsters - Fresh Tales

The third in a trilogy of classic monster tales, this mummy period piece is both superbly written and skillfully narrated. If you think you've read/seen all the monster stories, give this one a shot, too ... you won't be disappointed.
