About this listen
David and Ellen Cooper came to the lonely beachside cottage in hopes of rekindling their troubled marriage. Yet they are not alone on their second honeymoon. Marianna, a beautiful and enigmatic stranger, comes to visit David whenever Ellen is away.
Who is Marianna, and where has she come from?
Even as he succumbs to her seductive charms, David realizes that Marianna is far more than a threat to his marriage, for her secrets lie deep in the past and beyond the grave. And her unholy desires endanger the life and soul of everyone she touches.

That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Definitely not Matheson's best
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Fun listen
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The Narrator, Bronson Pinchot, is not very good. inflection misplaced constantly and some of the fight scenes are read very stiffly, as if he wasn't sure they were really shouting at each other at the time.
Not his best, but still enjoyable
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Huge matheson fan, disappointed in this one.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It has a lot of explicit details but I don't find it particularly erotic.
The main character and his wife take a vacation after their marriage is almost ended by his affair but the house is haunted by a ghost that wants to possess the sexual energy of the man.
For whatever reason the correct word succubus is never used for this spirit. It is slow moving with the man refusing to believe that his seductress a ghost for the longest time and musings about love and sex.
Not recommended but I did finish.
Matheson explores a succubus relationship
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
irritating...(spoilers)
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Bronson Pinchot, did fairly well reading the male parts, but his attempts to read the female parts were just awful. I listen to audio books often and have certainly heard male readers read female parts, and female readers read male parts. Some are better at it others, but Mr. Pinchot, sadly did not make the mark.
Loved the concept

Disappointing & frustrating
