The Mobius Door

By: Andrew Najberg

Narrated by: Brian Telestai

Tucked away in the foothills, surrounded by pine forests, loaded with kids who still play outside, Millwood is the small town everyone knows. The local deputies grapple with petty vandalism and local drunks. The local teachers know the name of every kid in town. For Heather Bradley, it's a place that keeps her family safe and their lives in order; her biggest worries are the daily grind of her job and the kids coming home late. She doesn't know that unfathomable forces are set to converge on her town and thrust their neat lives into darkness, but when her oldest son Stuart opens a one-sided door in the woods and a black cloud pours out, the Bradleys and their whole town find themselves locked in a desperate struggle for survival. As the chaos grows and the nature of the real threat emerges, the only question becomes whether or not come morning the town will exist at all.

Contains mature themes.

Annoying narrator, disjointing story

The narrator’s reading style is choppy. Which is almost as annoying as how half of this book is characters who are going nowhere before dying -simply not having the words to describe the dark cloud descending on them. A huge part of this book is indeed irrelevant characters describing a thing they have no words for. And then, there is a deus ex machina moment followed by the worst cliche of genre.

Grade A fast paced horror!

Fun story where a town comes under attack from the darkness on the other side of a door that shouldn’t be there. Exactly what it says on the tin and more.

Bleak yet Hopeful

Andrew Najberg has done it again with this great book. in my opinion, this book was even better than the last one I read, Golitok.

One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is getting to know all the many characters in this small town. It almost had the slice of life that is often so present in Stephen King books.

Speaking of King, the premise of this book almost reminds me of the book The Drawing of the Three.

When a young boy, Stewart, finds a door in the forest, he contemplates opening it. He discovers that both sides of the door are the same side, but when he leaves it open, something comes crawling out.

I give this book ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kids don’t sound like cartoons

The story seems fine but is overwhelmed by the reader. Narration is great until the dialogue. Everyone sounds like a sarcastic looney tunes animation. It ruins the mood and overwhelms the story.

Pretty convoluted

Flipped from charactor to
others without a smooth
connection. Not much said of the father. I was confused at times.

Our Relationship with Darkness

Some of us resist, while others run headfirst into the darkness. Join it, wait for it to reclaim the darkness within you, or fight back… but you must choose.
I normally don’t listen to horror or thriller, but this story kept me on edge of my seat from the beginning. Highly recommend.

Just listened to Mobius Door

This book had me. What a trip. I almost cried near the end. Beware strange doors.

so familiar yet....

it's weird enough to take you in from the very beginning.

The story itself is almost across between The Mist by Stephen King and Teacup, the series which is based on a book titled Stinger by Robert McCammon.

With that idea in mind, meshing the plot lines together, you get this story which I felt like was pretty good and entertaining. Did I want more from all characters and storyline, absolutely, but I am not mad at all.

Poorly written and narrated

Interesting concept and not the worst story ever told but the writing screams unpolished first draft. The narrator doesnt do a great job either. Give super weird creepy voices to all the kids. This whole thing seemsnlike both the author, and narrator’s first attempt at a book.

11 hours and 18 minutes of my life wasted.

I've read countless books in my 59 years, but this one was by far the biggest waste of time of any book I have ever read. It was just plain old stupid. It's almost like there never really was a story. I found myself wishing it would be over. Don't bog yourself down in this nonsense.
