Why we are afraid of the dark. Why a dark basement scares us even as adults. Why we see shapes in the dark that are not there in the light. Read until the end and you'll see the truth.

I was enthralled with this narrative. I could see everything in my mind. Like I was there. I was, the asteroid is on its way! Later losers!

A lighthearted end of the world scenario. Of course you know they will save the world (Spoiler Alert) the question is how. I'm still not entirely sure.

Interesting characters, a little heavy on the Egyptian metaphors for me. Still a good read.

What did you love best about Hell's Super?

I like the mix of fiction and information about the famous characters. I think the author needs to write an appendix so that the younger people will know who these people are!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I'd have to say my favorite character is "Boo" the bat out of Hell. It's a bad bat turned good story!

Which character – as performed by Michael Gilboe – was your favorite?

He does a very credible Beelzebub. Have you checked to see if you didn't hire the genuine article?

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

In Hell you never know who you will meet!

Any additional comments?

The vocal sound effects are as fun as hearing the character's voices! Oh and I got this book for free so I could review it and other small lawyer type stuff. See my description if you like lawyer type stuff. :D

Would you consider the audio edition of Cold Hollow to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version but shouldn't they be the same thing?

If you’ve listened to books by Emilie J. Howard before, how does this one compare?

Never read one by Emilie J. Howard before but I might give the author another go.

What does J. Scott Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He's a good reader but I have voices in my head that I can assign to characters so it's like making a meal, great to have it cooked for me but I can manage fine in the kitchen.

Who was the most memorable character of Cold Hollow and why?

I liked "Artie" because as a vision impaired person I could relate to him.

Any additional comments?

I have some but I'd have to put **SPOILER ALERT ** in front of the comments.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Well yes I would if I had friends who read or use audio books. Sadly I have no such friends (unless you count the maybe friends on the websites I interact with)

What other book might you compare SIMPOC to and why?

This is a unique twist on the whole apocalyptic epoch. If all humanity dies (or most of it) will the computers take over, will they do what is necessary to survive and will they all be on the same side or will there be good and evil or at least different perceptions of right and wrong?

What about Zachary Johnson’s performance did you like?

I liked that they used a bit of sound effect to make it seem like the computers are all saying things at once. I am a bedtime listener to books rather than having them play in the background during my daily activities (although some tempt me more than others) and so I enjoy the pace and cadence of Mr. Johnson's performance. (Not to say he puts me to sleep by any means!)

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

When the humans go the way of the dinosaurs the computers reign begins but will the human frailties of the past become SIMPOC's downfall?

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to hear the next installment!

This is a great adventure with a new take on the zombie theme. With plot twists no one expects. I hope I get to review part 3 soon!

I am not going with this book. I expected an "under the dome" thing.This is not that.
