About this listen

There’s something in the water in this hallucinatory short story by Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Beast You Are.

Journalist Heidi Cohen is in Cape Cod investigating the sources of recurring toxic algae blooms along the coast. A local named Jimmy has his own theory for her. Every year the fetid growth gets worse—but it’s been going on longer than anyone knows. Decades ago, something happened to Jimmy that he’s never forgotten. Is Heidi ready for the real story?

Paul Tremblay’s In Bloom is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Not Tremblay’s best

I’m not sure what was going on here but I didn’t like it. And I hate saying that because I’m a fan of the author. But this just ain’t it.

story was all over the place and ended so abruptly.

i couldn't follow or get into the story. It seems like the author had a good idea in the beginning but didn't know how to explain or find a good direction for the book

Meh

I read a sci-fi story by Paul Tremblay that i loved, so I'm really disappointed by this one. The narrators were Ugg!! The guy's voice was waaay too deep. It hurt my ears and my brain. There was waaaay too much baseball stuff in the story he told. And idk it felt like the build-up and reveal of this monster, w/e it was, could've been a lot better

That's it?

I was interested in the story but it went nowhere. Female narrator was better than the male

Good but not great

This one just didn't come together quite as well as the other stories in this collection for me. I still liked it, though

Abrupt ending

This was an okay horror story but the ending was too abrupt for my liking.

Great narration

Good quick story. The ending could have used a bit more description to turn up the creep factor

Decent

In Bloom is the fourth book I read in this collection and the least scariest IMO.

Jimmy recalls his childhood experience of toxic algae that grows near a field of America's favorite pastime. ⚾ Not a bad story but I didn't love it as much as the others.
