About this listen
They were three teenagers with the power to reanimate dead bodies, students at an elite and secretive school where they learned to hone their abilities and command the dead. And they just wanted to get laid. Because even teenagers with powers over the dead have hormones. What starts as an innocent booty call with a seemingly normal girl turns deadly as they unwittingly summon a dark force bent on slaughter. And as they try to fight the demons of their own conjuring, they find that commanding the dead just might be the easy part.... It's commanding the living that's infinitely more complicated.

No - the narrator's voice is very dull. The performance is lackluster at best.Any additional comments?
For what it is (a novella about teenage necromancers fighting midget demons), Chomp is very good, fun and quirky. The first part is very awkward teenage hijinx, and the latter part is good ol' fashioned demonslaying. Each part is paced well, transitioned nicely, and the three characters are consistent and reasonable.On the downside, it is short; we don't get a lot of detail about the world, the Order the characters are in, the Enemy (other demons), or really a whole lot of anything - the story is tightly focused on the events as they happen. The author has a habit of using certain words repeatedly, sometimes in the same paragraph, which can be tedious.Quirky and Fun
