A small mountain town hides a dark secret....

When his father's death brings Grant Shipman to the Appalachian town of Wallen's Gap, he believes his biggest problem will be dealing with the slow pace and odd townsfolk. But something sinister is at work. A dark power rises, an echo of the town's bloody past. A book of blood magic offers an unspeakable horror a gateway into the world of the living, and only Grant stands in the way of their "Dark Rite."

This was a very good but freaky short story. Very enjoyable and well written, definitely worth reading and listening too. I highly recommend it. Waters does a great job bringing the character to life and making them spooky.

Great, freaky story

I liked this dark demon worshipping story. The ending felt a bit rushed though. But all in all it was a good story.

The storyline is well written and developed. I loved the characters and their authenticity. The twist and turns in the story are intriguing especially the one with the old witch they kept me on the edge of my seat. The only problems with the book are the narrator and the narration editing. Despite that issue I would highly recommend this book.

I loved the story but the audio should have been edited first. there were a lot of starts and stops and repeating of sentences. Theres also some really long dead air spots between chapters. The story was really good though!

Good book but audio needs some editing

Fantastic story. Plenty of mystery, murder & suspense. The creepy factor was pretty high as well, it made me shudder a few times.
Let’s talk narration, first the bad news then I’ll get to the good stuff.
There were a lot of repeated sentences and phrases throughout the book almost as if it was recorded but he forgot to go back for pick ups. (Correcting errors etc)
Okay now the good news. Jonathan Waters has a fantastic voice. He absolutely nailed each of these characters and their unique accents. He’s also very good with female voices. I’ve recently began listening to Jonathan and found him to be one of my all time favorite narrators. He has a great story telling voice that I could listen to all day. This book was done about 8 years ago when he was still pretty new. I encourage everyone that when reviewing a book whether listening or reading to be sure to take into account how old the book is or how new the author and/or narrators are before you decide to give up on them.
I recommend this book.

While the performance was good, the legion of technical difficulties (at least one per chapter) made it difficult to enjoy...

Grant comes to his estranged fathers funeral and uncovers a mysterious cult. All is not as it seems in this quiet little town.
Good character development and could have been a good novel if it was extrapolated some more.
Nice short story but I am glad I didn’t pay for it.

Fun but predictable

This was a really good story.It had strong characters and a familiar but unique storyline.I enjoyed it. Jonathan Waters was a fine narrator except for the repetition of whole lines.This happened so often I nearly gave up listening. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
