About this listen

Traumatized by war, friends gather for a reluctant reunion.

A historic house in Jotham, Texas harbors a malevolent force, and as her fear grows, widow Maggie Smith pleads with three lifelong friends to gather in her home. But will their presence combat the darkness…or feed it?

Minister Jake Williams fears Maggie has had a breakdown.

Feeling he has no choice, Jake locates the other intended guest, Bobby Weeks, who agrees to go with him but struggles with keeping his lycanthropic curse hidden.

Jonathan Steele, a wounded veteran battling PTSD, arrives with his disgruntled wife. After drinking too much at dinner, Jonathan insults the homeless Bobby, and Bobby is missing from the house the next morning.

The dark past of Maggie's home awakens in the present.

Jake, whose faith is in doubt, confides in a local priest while he and Jonathan search for Bobby, and Ricky's ghost makes another visit to Jonathan, causing him to become fixated on saving Maggie from the evil that surrounds her.

As the danger intensifies, trust is elusive, and betrayal is certain.

Maggie might be lost, Bobby confronts a terrible choice, and Jake and Jonathan fight to save them all-before they become more victims of the horror emerging beneath the deadly house in Jotham.

A Gripping and Disturbing Tale of the Supernatural

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Another terrifying chapter in the lives of a group of friends that dared the unspeakable while still children, awakening the wrath of demonic forces, which allowed them to follow their separate destinies until they were reclaimed by evil entities. You will find in this story plenty of supernatural influences, but deep down the real evil is still man made. The horrors caused by war are what ultimately claim the lives of most of the members of the "Suicide Squad", touched in different ways, but each one of them horrific in its consequences. A suspenseful, even disturbing tale of horror, grief, and soul destruction powerfully narrated and interpreted. Not for the faint of heart....

Good story. Could've been better.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The story in this book is sort of engaging and is spooky. What could've made it much better though - is if all the horror elements had some kind of origin story or explanation. At its current form, all the supernatural creatures and aliens are simply present there. If we had learnt how they got there, I would've been more invested in it.

What could Thomas S. Flowers have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

See above.

Did Rick Gregory do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, narration was good. Each character was distinguishable. And there were no audio quality issues.

Any additional comments?

I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Emerging

This was a very fast paced, intense read ..much like Dwelling. Thomas is an amazing writer that develops his characters into people you actually would love to sit and have a conversation.

Stephen King look out! Here comes Thomas!

The first book Dwelling was good, Emerging is great! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! There small twists and turns you don't expect. It was scary, disturbing, sad, and you just can't put the book down. This book had great writing! I can see Thomas S. Flowers becoming the next Stephen King if his books stay like this! On top of all that Rick Gregory did an amazing job! He really stepped up his game from the first book! Rick did such a good job, I found it easy to lose myself in the book! They became a truly great combination in this book!

Gore and psychological horror

Second installment of the Subdue series. Maggie’s friends arrive at her place and the mood is not what was expected.

While the previous book dragged a bit for me, I found the pacing in this one a bit better. The characters are well depicted and I found the situations they found more relatable. It was easier to connect to the characters and their internal struggles, even though they were all quite different.

There’s gore but it’s mostly psychological horror, the feeling that there is something wrong but none of the characters are able to put their finger on what. That, coupled with their own issues creates a complex story where it’s sometimes difficult to know what’s true and what’s just in their heads.

Rick Gregory did a fantastic job portraying all the characters and creating the right atmosphere with his narration. There were just a couple of audio edits that I found a bit distracting but it was an enjoyable narration.

I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review.

The Suicide Squad Returns

I really enjoyed listening to this book which has it all action, paranormal/ghosts, horror and good characterization. It is about the suicide squad (5 close childhood friends) (Maggie, Rick, Jake, Jonathan and Bobby) The men enlisted into the military and went to Iraq and they returned except 1 who died (now a ghost), 1 missing extremity, 1 losing faith, 1 becoming alcoholic all have some form of PTSD. The book was also heart wrenching series with much horror. All of the squad meet up at the Maggie’s farmhouse in Texas when things happen (don’t go into the cellar). Highly recommend listening/reading to 1st book Dwelling so this book will flow better. Bring on the next one. Narration was good. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. THANK YOU

Loved it!

Great horror story! Thomas Flowers is still fairly new to me but I've enjoyed everything I've heard so far! His choice of narrators for this series is great as well. Rick Gregory does an excellent job telling the story! I recommend listening to book 1 first if you want a little history of the characters, but this also works well as a stand alone story.

Emerging was even better than Dwelling volume 1. Very well written, has a lot of action and paranormal activity. Would recommend this book to other readers.
