About this listen

Dark Town

The murders were only the beginning. No one knew what went on in the sullen, dark house on the hill, but town cop Kurt Morris intended to find out. The sleepy town of Tylersville, Maryland was being stalked by an unimaginable evil, it had become the haunting-ground for horrors too grisly to be described. Young girls had vanished without a trace. Graves had been opened, corpses unearthed, and carried away. Quiet moonlit nights gave way to a mindless slaughter, and to the sounds of hysterical screams....

Dark Horizons

Time was running out. How many more would be dragged off into an endless night, and for what hideous purpose? Fear led to wild speculations about psychopaths, crazed animals, vampires, and werewolves. But Kurt knew better. Deep in the fog-shrouded woods, he had seen the nightmare figures. And the truth was much, much worse....

Ghouls!

A novel of unrelenting horror in the tradition of Dean Koontz.

necessary spoiler . . ..

There are literally no ghouls in this book till approx 30 min from the end. The human side of the story was very well written as this author always does. I enjoyed that. However, if you are shopping for a creature book, this is not it. And on a side note, I find this narrator bland. I know he is popular but leaves a lot of the exciting parts flat with his monotone presentation.

Another Wildly Inappropriate Narrator

If Audible has a flaw it's in their selection of narrators. I've heard narrators read about earthshaking events in a lethal monotone and heard them sexily coo a Splatterpunk novel in my ear. This is another dud narrator. Few authors are as gleefully amoral and gruesome as Edward Lee. I put him at the same level as Richard Laymon as an equal-opportunity offender. Yet the narrator is an amiable conversational fellow who imbues 'Ghouls' with all the horror of a nature documentary. I can't tell you if it rises to the standard of Lee's other work or not. I hope Audible or whoever makes the decisions will work more on using more appropriate narrators because I've learned the wrong one can kill a book.

bland narrator

I read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. So when I saw it as an audio book, I had to get it. I have to say, though, the narrator killed it for me. There is no difference in voices for the different characters and the same emotion/tone for all situations. It definitely breaks the immersion.

Narration

I love this genre and maybe this is a great story, but I can't tell because of the poor narration. It was hard for me differentiate between characters because the narrator did not vocally distinguish the characters from each other. The narrator also removed the emotion and the suspense from the story, it was as if the narrator was reading this book for the first time. With only an hour left of this book, I can't listen anymore.
