About this listen

Can you tell me how to get...out alive?

Johnny awakes. A puppet looms over his bed.

He recognizes the furry monster: Grandpa was its puppeteer on the children’s television show R-City Street. But Grandpa went missing a year ago. He disappeared from this very apartment building, which was converted from the old R-City Street studio.

Desperate to see Grandpa again, Johnny follows the puppet inside the building’s walls, ever deeper into a puppet-infested labyrinth....

I Found Puppets Living in My Apartment Walls is a horror novella from the “darkly inventive” purveyor of uncanny places and wondrous evils, Ben Farthing.

I got this book to try something short and silly and ended up getting really into the plot of what was going to happen next. Brittany irritated me a bit but it made for a good contrast to how everybody had different reactions to the puppets wandering around. Great story

I really liked this. I listen to a ton of Horror books and this one was a great way to break up all the gore and gave a good story line. I loved the campy scary plot.

This was campy

I'm not the biggest reader but at my job I have a lot of time to listen so I put on the audio book for "I found puppets in my apartment walls" and I just have to say....wow. this book had me audibly saying things like "DANG" or "NO" the ending especially had me going "HUH? WHAT?" so if you want a good read, or a great listen (whoever recorded the audio for this was also phenomenal) this is a story you won't forget, I know I won't, up next for me is more Ben Farthing stories 100%

Wow.

Puppets being exactly like they seem to be, felt and fur and plastic and moving in that familiar puppety way (one arm not doing much most of the time and the other one moving around like it’s on a thin rod; that bounce step walk and felt formed maw flapping open in shut) has never really scared me. I adore the Muppets and most forms of plush puppetry. Now ventriloquist dummies, sure: horrifying. Absolutely all of them are out to kill us. Creepy dolls? Definitely demons. But I have always thought that out of their normal context, see inside the walls of a building or appearing in rooms of some sort of old band in place, they could be scary, even if they met you no harm. The idea of them being alive and talking, and goofing off where they shouldn’t be without the aid of a human is creepy and that’s a fun idea. That’s why I immediately grabbed up this book and gave it a listen. And (in theory) I’m glad I did. Because it combines a bit of cosmic horror and the fascinating, suffocating dread filled idea of liminal spaces. For those reasons alone, I gladly went along for the ride.

And I still love them up it’s just as much. And no, I don’t think I have a newfound fear of them. But my side of the bed has a clear view of a dark hallway in our home, and I can easily, and regretfully already have, visualize a very short, furry puppet padding, its way down the hall towards me. So thanks a lot Ben Farthing, for being a really good and imaginative and thoughtful writer. He processed a primal fear that began in childhood for you and enclosed with in it, the melancholy pain and joy of memory, nostalgia, And people felt most like home. Keep it up man. I may just have to dream of my own existential nostalgia night terror novella of my own because this one hit the spot hit the spot. You monster.

And now I shall not ever, ever sleep again.

I have a lot of time on the road and I listen to a lot of audio books. This story kept my attention from start to finish. It was a lot of fun to listen to, and the story kept you wondering what was going to happen next. This book was great and I have found a new whore author to explore. Give it a try.

Surprisingly scary for a puppet story

Being such a short book, things happen fast.. like really fast.. so I need to listen again to make sure I caught everything… all that being said….
I liked it… I liked the setting… I liked the cousin more than the protagonist actually.
Here’s the thing.. I hate puppets, I hate dolls.. they scared me shitless as a kid and now that my girls are grown there are none in my house. So the opening of this book put me on edge right out of the gate, there was no warm up.. no kisses or hand holding.. the author has no time for foreplay.
So getting off to that start set my mind whirling, putting myself in this guys shoes, what I would do and how I would feel, and how would I get out… and it felt like we were on to the next scene.
A little jarring, but ok we only have 3 hours here and we gotta long way to go. And that continued until the end, an ending I’m ashamed to say I didn’t see coming, and had to listen to several times, and so yeah, I need to read it again. But I liked it,
Now I guess I’ll buy the Circus Tent.

I need to listen to this again

I relate to the fear of the muppets and the creepy dreams that came along. It was a great listen I listened to it all in one sitting. I’m ready for more!

He did a great job of explaining the reason for the events just enough to kind of understand without giving too much info which usually ruins a story like this.

Really fun short story

Honestly I wasn't sure what to think going into this book. I listened to it almost straight through. I got heavily invested and I can honestly say it's very well written.

Wow.
