About this listen

While her parents attend a work party, eighteen-year-old Ella Romero is left in charge of her two siblings—thirteen-year-old Nicholas and eight-year-old Arianna—at their secluded lake house. In her usual fashion, Ella invites her friends to hang out while her parents are away, too. It was supposed to be an easy, quiet, normal night.

But then a grizzled stranger arrives at the home. Although no one answers the front door, he knocks and talks, knocks and talks—knocks and talks. Not before long, the man’s bizarre, nonsensical ramblings turn into nasty threats.

He wants to get inside the house. He believes he’s meant to be with Ella. And he won’t let anything or anyone stop him from fulfilling his ‘destiny.’

Jon Athan, the author of Blender Babies and The Groomer, brings you a white-knuckle, high-tension, “one-shot” home invasion novel. Don't forget to lock your doors before reading...

Brutally gruesome home invasion

This book has a tired premise, reminiscent of every slasher movie from the exploitation era of the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. Not that this is a bad thing, as many a frightful film came out in that period. But if you’re expecting a refreshing, original novel this might not be the best choice.
The characters play out well, but that should always be expected in a Jon Athan novel. He has written some of the best splatter punk/extreme horror books over the last few years. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them.
The narration was on point and never slacked off,
The biggest problem with this book is that the violence felt like something out of an Aron Beauregard novel, Jon is usually more reliable in his depictions of depravity. I would recommend one of his other novels first, before venturing into this book. If you like his style, as I do, you will still enjoy the novel, as I did. It is just not one of his best. Still worthy of more stars than any Beauregard work, though.

The Intruder comes to life

Wow, Beau Thomas’s narration is *chef’s kiss*. His interpretation of The Intruder is chilling. I listened to the whole book in one day.

Are My Parents Home?

Well that's none of your darn business! I remember being left at home alone as a kid with my siblings. We were never scared and we grew up watching horror movies at a young age. This story was one for the young uns these days. I feel this is something I need to let my kids read as a good parent.
