Walkers

By: Graham Masterton

Narrated by: Andy Ingalls

An idyllic retreat? Or a madhouse soaked in blood? Only the Walkers can tell you...

The Oaks is an idyllic, up-market country club—but its ornately carved walls hide a horrific past. Sixty years ago the house was an asylum, home to crazed psychopaths. One night all of them disappeared, never to be seen again.

Jack Reed, the owner of The Oaks, has no idea about the building's terrible history. It is only when Jack's son is dragged into the walls of the mansion that he realises what happened sixty years ago—and just where the inmates have been living all this time...

Dated misogynistic writing

this is the third book of Graham Masterson's that I have read. In these books, women are only included as sexual objects, conniving/tricksters, or wives who cheat/leave.

I do recognize that these were written in the 1980s, but found myself continually frustrated by the overly descriptive sections describing the breasts, legs, and shapeliness of female characters. All male characters just look at women as sex objects. there are no similar descriptions of men's rippling muscles or plump bodies. just descriptions of women's plump breasts and creamy flesh

I actually have enjoyed the overall plot lines of this book, as well as others Masterson has written. this book, and his others, are not repetitive or similar to other thriller/horror tropes. I really enjoyed the stories, but the representation of women is gross

excellent

really good horror story. easy listen and will keep you on the edge. the ending wasn't bad.

Great quick story amazing voice acting!

Story has some great twist and turns. A bit of a weak ending in my opinion but still very good nonetheless.

questioned the writer several times.

idk it was okay. worth it I guess intwrestimg concept but I couldn't figure out if the writer was making the main character out to be a good guy, shtty guy, or just a "regular" guy, but he was a crap dad and unrealistic reaction to his kid getting sucked into the walls with a bunch of psychos. x
caught some contradictions and things that didn't make sense.. it was definitely a good concept tho. worth it if you catch it on sale or something.

Maybe the best narrator I’ve heard

Ok before I review the book, I just have to state for the record that this narrator is 12/10. I was really impressed at the quality of the different voices he used for various characters, particularly the female characters.
The book was awesome, unexpected and included in my prime( though honestly I would not have been disappointed if I had used a credit). Fast paced, interesting story, not stock standard haunted house at all. A very pleasant surprise all the way around.

Great story, pace and narration!

This was a great horror suspense. You cannot go wrong with this one. I was on the edge of my seat. I felt like I was along for the ride, enmeshed with the characters.

Blew me away

This story is very captivating. It's intense from beginning to end. The main character stumbles upon a structure in the middle of the Wisconsin Woods. Little did the main character know his life would be forever changed.

Loved It

Thoroughly enjoyed the story, the characters, and the narrator. I added this author to my favorites list. Highly recommend.

Scary Movie Potential

This would make a great movie even though or because the MC is so unlikeable. That said, it was fascinating and scary. Will be checking out more from this author. Reader did a great job.
