Robert and Janet Patterson and their young daughter, Krissy, went looking for the perfect getaway vacation spot. They found it in a backwoods Florida town. Far away from civilization. Quiet and peaceful. And terribly isolated.

Robert and Janet should have listened to the local legends. They should have heeded the warnings about the blackwater lagoons. And they should have listened to their daughter when she told them about the whispers in the woods. Because now, it's too late. Krissy's disappeared, and whatever took their little girl is coming back for more....

I've been impressed by Encyclopocalypse Publications and their many eclectic releases on audio. I'd not been familiar with this offer and was pleasantly surprised by this book. The Indian lore within is type of thing that's fascinated me since I was a kid and it just seems to go perfectly with the supernatural story. It drags just a !little in a few slots but the characters somewhat make up for that. Overall, a good read.

In Evil Whispers, Owl Goingback takes us to the backwoods swamps of Florida, where the Patterson family plans to enjoy a quiet vacation before they brave the commercial insanity of Walt Disney World for their daughter, Krissy. Unfortunately, that particular swath of swamp and woodland has a horrifying and blasphemous history that doesn't appear in the tourism materials.
Innocent, relaxing days of fishing and venturing onto the river in kayaks begin transforming into a disorienting nightmare as Krissy makes a new friend. It isn't long before this friend has the young girl performing seemingly random tasks, and soon there may not be anything left of Krissy.
As the terrifying past emerges from the swamp, the haunted history of the location comes to life, and it'll take everything the Pattersons have--along with the help of a reclusive Seminole named Jimmy--to have any chance of saving Krissy from a fate worse than death.
The pacing is fantastic, as Goingback weaves a tale that incorporates elements of indigenous spirituality, Haitian magic, and the love of family into a vibrant tapestry that is impossible to put down.
Cathi Colas provides excellent narration, fully separating the characters and providing each with their own distinct personalities.

I have been meaning to read this author for a long time so when I had a chance to pick up a free audio copy of this work, I jumped all over it.

I don't know when this was originally published but it had an old school horror feel to it. By old school I mean 80's or 90's. I enjoyed it even though it was a wee predictable in parts the writing was good enough to pull me through and I am glad it did.

Mansa DuPaul reign of terror should have ended when he was killed and dismembered by Seminole Warriors for stealing and killing their children but it didn't it only festered in the dark swamp of Florida. Mansa was a very powerful voodoo practitioner and over a century later he gets a chance at resurrection after manipulating the young daughter of a vacationing family. Krissy unwittingly does his bidding because she is too young and immature to recognize true unadulterated evil.
Jimmy a Seminole man is the only one who truly understands what is going on as he is the one who helped keep the evil bound and defenseless. Mansa soon takes control of Krissy's mind and body and seeks control to bring forth his resurrection and reign of hell.
This old fashioned horror novel is not just about the supernatural but it also contains Indigenous beliefs as well as Christian beliefs about such things as possession and evil. This story is fast paced and well written with strong well developed characters and plot. I received this book for free upon my request but it has no bearing on this unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition.

EVIL WHISPERS was my very first Owl Goingback novel and certainly not my last. I consider myself pretty well read when it comes to horror authors of the past 20-30 years yet had somehow missed the treasure that is Owl Goingback. Thanks to Encyclopocalypse Publications for releasing this 2001 novel in 2022 in audiobook format so I could discover this hidden treasure.

Nothing like spending family time in nature. The Pattersons, with their young daughter Krissy, are visiting Blackwater Fish Camp with hiking trails, canoe trips on the river all surrounded by nature. Only rule is to stay away from Jimmy’s shack up the river a bit. He is a Seminole who is squatting on state land so just leave him alone.
Things are stirring under the swamp, luring an innocent girl away from her parents. They didn’t believe Krissy when she said she had an invisible friend to talk to. Will evil resurface in this tiny remote area?
This was my first Owl Goingback book and I really enjoyed it. It has all the elements of a perfect horror story.

Evil Whispers is my second, his third published, novel by Owl Goingback. I fear I slept on this man’s writing for far too long. Crota was good, but this was better. When reading I kept thinking how good a movie of this could be, the book itself kept me reading.

For fans of:
Good old fashioned horror, Bentley Little and Ronald Kelly
