Story3.5 out of 5 stars 49
The Dark Net is real. An anonymous and often criminal arena that exists in the secret, far reaches of the web, some use it to manage Bitcoins, pirate movies and music, or traffic in drugs and stolen goods. And now an ancient darkness is gathering there as well. These demons are threatening to spread virally into the real world unless they can be stopped by members of a ragtag crew.

Predictable and Overwrought
Reviewed: 11-07-18
I wanted to like this book -- it had everything I could have wanted for a binge-listen. But the narration is dull and overly emphatic and the story is predictable and lackluster. Good try, but not for me.

Story4 out of 5 stars 530
Randy and Jason Sklar have a knack for exploring what makes America’s cities unique and wonderful, whether it’s finding out who in San Diego serves the best burritos, why basketball is so popular among those in Bloomington, or why the people of Portland can't let go of their old airport carpeting.

A lot of potential but no real payoff
Reviewed: 05-04-18
The Sklar Brothers set this up like it was going to be an exploration of the country, post-2016 election. Like somehow they were exploring the root of our division and then writing comedy about it. But basically they went to a bunch of liberal cities with liberal audiences and riffed on local attractions. Add in a few obvious jokes about burritos and diarrhea and that's basically what you'll get. I don't think I laughed once when they performed their sets.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 992
Failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife, Eudora, have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate - the Savoyard Plantation - and the horrors that occurred there. At first, the quaint, rural ways of their new neighbors seem to be everything they wanted. But there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice.

Recording glitches, but a great gruesome tale

Narrator = awesome. Story = not bad.

Mark Bramhall is fantastic as a narrator. The story is not bad, either and genuinely creepy in parts. Recommended for some good Southern horror.

Probably a good story...ruined by narrator.
Reviewed: 04-19-12
Would you be willing to try another one of Coleen Marlo and Paul Boehmer ’s performances?
No. Maybe this just wasn't their usual material, but Boehmer's narration was almost laughable. He single-handedly ruined this audiobook for me. I couldn't get past his ridiculous tone and grandiose way of speaking. No subtlety here, whatsoever. Marlo's narration was simply passable.
First time I've ever had a book ruined by a narrator so this is a new experience for me. Maybe read this one in paperback.
