About this listen
There's No Place Like Home. A new, terrifying serial from author Ambrose Ibsen.
Kim and Julian Taylor are in the market for their first home, and a visit to the secluded Beacon estate finds them enamored. It's a peculiar home, rather large and in need of some renovations. The price is right however, and after a tour, they snap the house up without hesitation.
The man who sells them the house has one last detail to share before they sign on the dotted line. The previous owners of the home disappeared under mysterious circumstances nearly eight years ago and have recently been declared dead in absentia. Unperturbed by this fact, Kim and Julian set about making the home their own.
It quickly becomes clear that the two of them are not alone there, however.
In Absentia is the first novella in the Black Acres serial by Ambrose Ibsen. It is approximately 25,000 words and contains adult language, scenes of horror, and a cliffhanger ending. Reader discretion is heavily advised.

Story
College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. He puts his skepticism aside and signs on to a paranormal research organization in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus. Enter Chaythe Asylum: a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students. But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building.

Nothing is off-limits in their little circle - anything, no matter how depraved, is welcome...so long as it's frightening.

This was a short but well done and creep story. It is well written and narrated. If you are a fan of Ambrose Ibsen and/or Joe Hempel, this is worth your time.
Ambrose Ibsen and Joe Hempel for the win

I have some experience writing horror, be it in short story, novel, or novella form. So it does take a lot to draw me in. I have become pickier over time, but this book delivered for me. It does end on a very noticable cliffhanger, and I have to admit that I would read the followups, perhaps due to the nature of the cliffhanger. Overall, it had just the right amount of creepy for me with a few key plot points that hit my buttons. I enjoyed it and would continue in the series, something I don't say lightly.
Suitably creepy

Joe does such a good job. My internal voice would never be as good as his and anyone who has ever listened to him knows that he brings the story to life and without him it is just a book and not a story.

Mr. Joe Hempel, the narrator, did an amazing job!! It always astonishes me that there are so many emotions that a voice can show. I love listening to Mr. Hempel read scary stories to me. His tone carries and the way he portrays the fear Kim shows was perfect! I felt s bit nervous for her. Good job Joe!! Can’t wait for the second part of this!!
Sets it all up!
