About this listen

A mythical man known as Nightmare haunted young children for years. Until he became real. DCI Harry McNeil knows the legend all too well. Growing up in the Highlands, Nightmare was on his and every other child's mind as they went to sleep. Then, Nightmare claimed his first victim. A young girl, found dead in an abandoned cemetery with the words, I am Nightmare, carved into her chest. Two more victims, the same words carved into them. Then Nightmare disappears. Now, years later, there have been reports of graffiti being sprayed around Inverness and on graves in old cemeteries. Is Nightmare back? The question is on the lips of residents who are starting to feel uneasy. Initially dismissed as a prank, things start to get all too real. A Glasgow couple are talking to their adult daughter on Zoom. She is a reporter for an online magazine and is in the Highlands reporting on Nightmare. She is being chased through the woods. The couple don't know if their daughter is spooked or if somebody is really chasing her. The call is cut and they call the police. The next morning, her body is found in a cemetery. I am Nightmare is carved into her chest. Harry McNeil is sent to the Highlands with a team from Glasgow. Their job is to hunt down a killer who once only existed in fevered minds. Once again, he's all too real. I am Nightmare. Catch me if you can...

exciting

I could do without Stewart's swearing mouth but this series is really good. I like the way they weave old characters back in to new stories. This one was devastating, no spoilers.

Too Short

I have listened to this series and the books are always a lot shorter that other audiobooks, but this one was ridiculous. I even had to rewind a couple of times b/c I thought I had missed a chapter or two. The "big twist" is just revealed with no little lead up clues or red herrings like one might find in a NORMAL book. Oh, so it's NOT the creepy neighbor, or I thought for SURE it as going to be the weird Superintendent! No misdirects, nothing. Just BAM! This is what's up. I am on the next book now and it is just as short and just as bad. Do better John Carson. Angus King's amazing narration deserves better quality to perform.

There are also a plot (?) element with which I vehemently disagreed.

The depth of the characters deepens each book in the series. This one was fantastic.
