About this listen

Cathy was six when the man next door killed his wife and himself. It was early morning, and she was playing outside when she heard the first shot.

And then another shot. And another.

The sounds echoed around the neighborhood like thunder. People came out of their houses to see what was happening. Later, she saw the blood and the bodies....

Now, the house is no longer vacant. Someone new has moved in. Something terrible is happening to the neighbors. And Cathy has a secret of her own....

Death Instinct

I enjoyed this one! David Stifel was a fine narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Wow

I have listened to many Bentley Little, and this is true horror. This is not supernatural. It should be cautioned that this does use a word that is no longer acceptable. This book was written long before that, though. That is something to keep in mind.

Sure likes the R word.

I am a fan of Bentley. This is ok. Not the best though. Story with a little simplistic and relied heavily on a popular concept in 1992. I guess he watched Rain Man and said “Hey, what if a guy like that was a serial killer?”
As for the prolific use of the R Word….
I would cut him slack because it was 1992, but the main character at the beginning of the book identifies how it was not an appropriate word to use anymore…in 92…, nonetheless he decided to roll with it all the way through.

I guess if people are not bothered by that not much is changed in 30 years. It’s no reason to not listen to the book. Or is it. I have no idea. I did.

I liked it. very enjoyable

I've read other reviews. In today's society I know the word retard is not ok. However, the context, reason behind and the people using the word is a hell of a lot more believable than everyone, no matter age or upbringing using politically correct phrases. It was a decent book and I love the narrator. He does everything so well

'WHAT IF' is what this story asks.Spoilers Ahead!

what if a person who is an idiot savant, can murder instead of playing a piano masterfully or be a genius at math, what if instead he is a genius at killing is the basis of this story.Now i can see how people who have loved ones that are special needs can become offensive to this material but if that's the case why put yourself to read this novel, if you want some advice do what i do before purchasing a book check out reviews, gain a knowledge of the summarized plot.Iam a big bentley little fan and im pretty sure him using a special needs person as the vilian wasn't intended to be offensive im pretty sure he was looking to do something out of the ordinary, i mean i can think of a handful of vilians in stories who have some sort of disability wether they were abused or in a wheel chair or scarred im sure its not meant to be offensive but just to add to the uniqueness of the character. Now with that being said this wasn't as good as most of littles "THE" books but it's something different, and as always David Stifles narration is on point.

my favorite of his novels

I wasnt surprised to learn that this was written 25 yes ago. the absence of cellphones, etc was a giveaway. the story was fairly concise and marginally plausible. overall it was quite enjoyable
the plot wasn't so outlandish as his recent novels.
I like Bentley hill but have never considered his books in the horror genre due to the absurd plot lines. this is what makes his stories entertaining however. his recent novels fit more in the realm of dark comedy
