From the author of 'Murdaugh, She Wrote' and 'The Night My Husband Killed Me' ... In August of 2018, in a wealthy Denver suburb, a shocked and horrified nation learned that Christopher Lee Watts had murdered his pregnant wife, their two little girls and their unborn son. But shock was soon replaced by puzzlement. Why? And the surprising answer is that a standard Anadarko Petroleum employee policy led, unintentionally of course, to the murders. By early 2018, the Watts family finances were beyond dire again after a recent shattering bankruptcy, then Chris Watts’ employer, Anardarko ...

Just Awful
Reviewed: 12-22-23
First of all, this book is narrated by AI, so it sounds like the telephone voice from back in the 80s that told the time & temperature. Not pleasant to listen to for 9+ hours. Not only was the voice monotone & not human, but many things were not pronounced correctly.
Secondly, the murderer in this sad true crime book was not called by name, but rather was, throughout the entirety of the book, referred to by the name of a Stephen King character. Hopefully for the author Stephen King is as nice of a guy as I have always heard, because I can't imagine people are just allowed to do that.
Finally, I have to think a lot of the content in this book is just pulled out of the imagination of the author because there are situations and conversations that she could not possibly have been privy to. You might as well just read some Reddit accounts on this case because the credibility appears to be the same.

When best-selling horror author Sam McGarver is invited to spend Halloween night in one of the country's most infamous haunted houses, he reluctantly agrees. At least he won't be alone; joining him are three other masters of the macabre, writers who have helped shape modern horror. But what begins as a simple publicity stunt will become a fight for survival. The entity they have awakened will follow them, torment them, threatening to make them a part of the bloody legacy of Kill Creek.

UNUSUAL PREMISE, COULDN'T STOP LISTENING

Not Very Exciting…

I feel like this book had potential, but didn’t quite accomplish what it set out to do. It felt as though the story was constantly building up to a big scare, but then it wouldn’t materialize. It was like being on a roller coaster, always climbing slowly up a steep hill , only to never have the big, exciting drop afterward. I was disappointed.

The names of notorious serial killers are usually well-known; they echo in the news and in public consciousness. But most people have never heard of Israel Keyes, one of the most ambitious and terrifying serial killers in modern history American Predator is the ambitious culmination of years of interviews with key figures in law enforcement and in Keyes's life, and research uncovered from classified FBI files. Callahan takes us on a journey into the chilling, nightmarish mind of a relentless killer, and to the limitations of traditional law enforcement.

The children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christie Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill - the house where no children have lived for 50 years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin... When the Wind Blows the children must die!

Story dragged, narrator didn't have good inflection and I don't consider animals being murdered to be entertaining. I usually like John Saul, but I didn't like this.
