The Mobius Door

De: Andrew Najberg

Narrado por: 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.

Hard to follow

I did not enjoy this book. I felt the majority of scenes in the book went on far too long and got to be very rambling. There were a few good parts toward the end. The narrator often put pauses in the wrong place, making it even harder to follow.
I think the premise of the story is very good, it was just not executed well.

A little wordy

At its core the story is decent but the long monotonous tangents made it hard to enjoy. I can tell the author was trying to paint a picture with words but it was just too much and I would lose interest. I did finish it and it wrapped up well.

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.

First half of the book

well in short first half of the book was awesome it was a great buildup The story that performance execution the character building The second half up until about the last hour it kind of started getting dragged out as of the author lost focus so to speak and then the last 5 minutes the author totally unwound his entire story over he he tanked it He unravelled and diminished what it could have been, all that story built up to end less than 5 min to destroy what was a decent story. I hate writing negative reviews. I only do it this time in hopes the author takes it as constructive criticism cuz I think he has good talent true talent You just got to work on that finishing game.

Description

The description of "The Visitor" and all of the other characters is wonderful, which is no surprise. Andrew Najberg does an awesome job of describing everything. The Mobius Door is a definitely a good read/listen.

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.
