Truck Stop

De: John Penney

Narrado por: John Penney

On a lonely stretch of highway in the Utah mountains, Cedar Mountain Truck Stop awaits the unsuspecting traveler.

Over the years, it has been the setting of unspeakable acts of horror that have gone undiscovered.

It is the hunting ground for a serial killer who disposes the bodies in the junkyard behind the rambling, rundown complex.

But the long dead victims are not going quietly - their spirits haunt the dingy hallways, sleeping rooms, gift shop, and repair garage, seeking out someone who can solve their horrific deaths.

Seeking someone who is a sensitive that can hear their cries for vengeance...that someone turns out to be Roger Dalton, a young rock guitarist, traveling with his seven-year-old daughter, who stops one rainy night at the haunted compound.

What begins as a routine stop on his trip to Salt Lake City turns into a horrific nightmare when his daughter suddenly goes missing. As Roger and the handful of truck stop employees desperately search for his daughter, Roger is haunted by the long-dead mutilated victims, all trying to warn him of the serial killer who is in their midst.

The tension ratchets higher when deteriorating weather isolates the truck stop and Roger makes a grisly discovery that causes the serial killer to go on a final, desperate killing spree.

In the end it all comes down to Roger, racing to find out where the serial killer has taken his daughter before the killer can get to him.

A Chilling Audiobook Thriller

This audiobook is a great and gruesome story with a diverse set of mysterious characters. The descriptions are excellent. Especially with the various characters in the story, they are interesting enough to get you invested in them. The horror aspect is violent and gory with elements of the supernatural. It doesn't go over the top and keeps it appropriate with the atmosphere in specific chapters. Overall, a good horror audiobook that I recommend listening to if you're feeling a thriller.

What a sad and creepy story

I believe this is the first Audiobook I've listened to where the author is the narrator. He started of speaking a little too quickly, but slowed down enough as the story continued.

The description for this story didn't disappoint. Creepy truck stop, serial killer, dad looking for his missing daughter, seeing ghosts, etc. This was a good story with twists and turns. The ending was a little sad but good. It was well written and you really felt the panic in the dad. There were some weird truck drivers to add just a little more twist to the story.

I really enjoyed this story.

I absolutely loved it. I just wish....

I just wish he had more of his work on audible. This was such a nice, tight, little concise novella. I really felt myself there. Its not just the descriptions but the choice of words and thoughts. The reflections and the tone. The narrator was a perfect match for the book. I really really wish this author had more work on here.

Heart stopping

I didn't see how this ended coming. Wow what a great listen it's not very long but it keeps your attention and wondering till the end I loved the story five thumbs up from me very well worth getting.

Nicely Done

Pretty good story. Ending was very well done and unexpected. Performance by Mr. Penney was pretty good as well.
It was an enjoyable listen and pretty suspenseful. I'm new to audiobooks, so I'm unsure if 3hrs 16mins can be classified as long or short, but it went by pretty quick thanks to the story's pacing.
