Story4.5 out of 5 stars 645
When Brian Holloway (Jack Quaid, The Boys) was hired by famous horror author Paul Robinette (Titus Welliver, Bosch) to crack an antique safe in his home, he had no idea what he was about to encounter. Opening that safe door unleashed something sinister — something that continues to haunt him. But what exactly? And can whatever slipped through that threshold be stopped?

Great series! So much so that I hope Connelly writes a new book in this genre. The story was way better than a lot of horror / ghosts books I've listened to by authors who specialize in this genre. The acting and sound design were top notch as well.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

I can't figure out the popularity of this book.

This book has all the depth of a bad 80's action film. You can tell it really wants to be dark and twisted, but it reads like the work of a teenage goth kid. I couldn’t even finish it. I felt the narration was a distraction as well. The woman was tolerable, but the guy was trying way too hard. Didn’t feel natural at all. In their defense, they weren’t working with good material.

One of the most annoying books I have attempted to listen to in a long time.

About 10 hours too long.

The title may refer to most listeners passing away from old age before being able to finish the book.

The narrator makes it tough to get through.

It's tough to judge the value of the stories due to the narrator. Maybe it's just me, but I found the performance to be very distracting.

Joy Osmanski's narration is very distracting.

Would you try another book from Paul Tremblay and/or Joy Osmanski?
I would try another Tremblay book, but will not listen to another Osmanski narrated book.
How could the performance have been better?
Osmanski's male voices completely pull me out of the story. They sound comical. The overall tone of the narration comes off as bratty and I feel it is a really bad match for the story. I would love to hear the story again with another narrator.
