About this listen

The star of truTV’s hit show Impractical Jokers - alongside veteran sci-fi and horror writer Darren Wearmouth - delivers a chilling and wickedly fun supernatural novel in the vein of The Strain, in which a beautiful new subway line in New York City unearths an ancient dark horror that threatens the city’s utter destruction and the balance of civilization itself.

After years of waiting, New York's newest subway line is finally ready, an express train that connects the city with the burgeoning communities across the Hudson River. The shining jewel of this state-of-the-art line is a breathtaking visitors’ pavilion beneath the river. Major dignitaries, including New York City’s Mayor and the President of the United States, are in attendance for the inaugural run, as the first train slowly pulls in.

Under the station’s bright ceiling lights, the shiny silver cars gleam. But as the train comes closer into view, a far different scene becomes visible.

All the train’s cars are empty.

All the cars’ interiors are drenched in blood.

As chaos descends, all those in the pavilion scramble to get out. But the horror is only beginning. High levels of deadly methane fill the tunnels. The structure begins to flood. For those who don’t drown, choke or spark an explosion, another terrifying danger awaits - the thing that killed all those people on the train. It’s out there...and it’s coming.

There's something living beneath New York City, and it's not happy we've woken it up.

the story is pretty cliche. all the tropes we've seen before. Murray needs a bit more practice on his narration also. learn when to emphasize and speak without breaks and pauses.

decent

Yep, and arch villains too. If you put them together in one package I’m hooked! The story was engaging. I liked and cared what happened to the characters. I will listen to the next book.

The narrator was not my favorite. To be fair, his voice was tolerable or I never would have bought the book. I listen to previews before buying a book with a narrator I’m not familiar with. He passes the purchase test, but the story would have been better with a different narrator.

This is worth a credit. Enjoy!

I like monster flix…

I love his book I've read it repeatedly as for audible itself I won't be buying it because I don't like the service it constantly wants to send me back several chapters when I posit that is not supposed to happen if you posit it supposed to start back where you paused it from

love the book hate this service

James Murray has not only proven himself as a television/stage entertainer but now as a bestselling author. Everything he does is pure perfection This book is nothing short of Excellence.

Highly recommended!

I love creature horror in all mediums. This book most definitely delivered. It was pretty original and kept me interested. It's a long way from Impractical jokers for James Murray but he did a great job! I look forward to hearing/reading more.

Great Book

Kudos to James S. Murray and Darren Wearmouth on a very suspenseful story. The narration by one of the authors was perfect. This reading made me want to be on my commute and I hated to turn the car off at the end of my drive. Thank goodness my commute was not by subway!

Well done!
