About this listen

An alcoholic teacher and father’s world spirals out of control when a former student is killed and he is left with her dog and the dark presence that follows it.

Matt Matheny teaches during the day, drinks at night, and barely hides his functioning alcoholism from his veterinarian ex-wife, Lucy, and his six-year-old son, Mikey. His world spirals out of control when a former student is killed, and he's left with her dog, Conehead. But something isn't right with Conehead. A dark presence follows him, and very soon, people around him die. Matt realizes the only way to protect his son is to sober up and work with Lucy to expose the dog’s mysterious past and face a secret so shocking—an evil so relentless—that it threatens to unleash hell on an entire town.

Critic reviews

"Taut, disturbing, and undeniably heartwrenching, Mean Spirited is a breakneck horror-thriller that pits compassion against survival. The plot is as thought-provoking as it is terrifying, and exposes the depth of soul Roberts pours into his work.”—Felix Blackwell, author of Stolen Tongues

"There's fun-scared, there's maybe-I-leave-the-lights-on scared, and then there's . . . whatever Mean Spirited does to you, which I guess I would call "don't be alone"-scared. Nick Roberts really gets his claws into your head, with this one. Enter at your own risk. Wish I'd seen that sign, before reading this one. Wish I were sleeping, I mean."—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times best-selling author of My Heart is a Chainsaw and The Only Good Indians

The ending ! YES

on top of a great story and characters and horror of course, loved how the narrator would use effects for certain "people" and would just add more to the scariness and immersing me into the book.

Awesome horror and awesome performance by the narrator!!

What a ride! If you are a dog lover / owner, trust me — you’ll look at them differently. Don’t scare yourself too bad! Woof!

another horror masterpiece

Incredible listen and creepy as hell!

Nick Robert’s has an uncanny ability to use the most simple of objects and turn them into to your greatest nightmare. A dog. Just a dog or is it?

Scared my pants off
