Story4 out of 5 stars 20
The end is beginning. The time is just a few short years from now. But already the signs of global disaster are multiplying. Freak storms, earthquakes, floods volcanic eruptions are sweeping the earth. The last violent spasms of a dying planet. Then a series of ominous events signal the emergence of new and terrifying forces.

I hated this book!!

The author was blatantly racist against black people. His descriptions of them were cringe worthy! I mistook this book for The Portent by Marilyn Harris, a much more entertaining, creepy story. Unfortunately that book is unavailable on Audible. And if the reader referred to gushing mounts of water as "geezers" rather than geysers one more time, I think I would have thrown my phone against a wall.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 142
Brilliant summers amid golden fields. Killing winters of razorlike cold. A peaceful, neighborly village, darkened by legends of death? Who is Nathaniel? For 100 years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. Some say he is simply a folk tale - a legend created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.

The Narrator was awful!!

Her reading was robotic. I have read the paperback years ago, and loved it, but the reading ruined it. You can also tell where she took breaks, and then restarted. The tones didn't match.

A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.

My Favorite Dean Koontz Book /Third Time Reading

Mr. Hill's reading was ok, but I really hope that Audible will eventually have a woman read female characters. Or at least a male better at mimicking female voices. The falseness was very distracting, making the book less enjoyable.
