Joe works at a facility that performs human experimentation.

His work just followed him home.

The government wanted to unlock hidden abilities in the human mind.

They put subjects in extreme sensory deprivation.

All the test subjects went violently insane.

But the research continued.

Today it has been perfected.

Almost perfected.

From the author of In My Father’s Basement comes another chilling novel that's a must-listen for fans of horror. Gruesome, gripping, and terrifyingly real!

I have so many horror titles in my library, but this one has just soared to my list of favorites. For the sensitive listener, sorry it’s not for you! R-rated!! But as a fierce parent, I am so on board here. This is a story of a great father that would move heaven and earth for his daughter. We go through his struggles with his job and his family... everything is upended. Everything is revealed! The whole “what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light” in the worst possible way... yeah... this book has it. This book had me listening everywhere I went and I couldn’t get enough. I’m glad I bought it. It’s not your usual scary story and I look forward to seeing more from this author. The delivery from this narrator was awesome as well!! I’ll be looking for more from both of these guys in the future!!

So many reasons to listen to this one...

This is a really neat story. At first, I was a little skeptical because the prologue was a bit weird, but once the story started it really got good and I couldn’t stop listening. I would say after you listen to the story you should go back and listen to the prologue again as that made a lot more sense after I understood what that was all about. Other than the paranormal aspects and some of the gory details, I didn’t really think of this as a horror story. Nothing about it really scared me outside of the government doing shady stuff which should scare everyone. I felt like this was more of a thriller with some supernatural elements. Regardless of what you classify this as, it was an excellent story that kept me on the edge of my seat and one I would recommend.

The plot was quite interesting, had a Stargate Project feel. I don’t think the concept was all that new but the implementation of it was spectacular. Throughout the story I often was questioning if the reality we are being presented was indeed reality. As Riley started questioning her visions, I too started feeling the need to question things. The ending was amazing, definitely was exactly how the book should have ended and provided the silver lining to the otherwise tragic story.

I really liked the characters. Even though Joe is a workaholic who chose his work over his family, I thought he was a decent guy who truly cared about his daughter. I liked his development throughout the story as he realizes how poor of a father he is and how he finally steps up. The antenna’s reminded me a bit of the precogs from Minority Report crossed with the creepy girl from the ring.

Joe Hempel did a fantastic job. His ability to bring the words to life and really make you feel them is second to none. The tension he brings to this story was perfect and he definitely lulls you into a need to keep listening.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

I absolutely loved this book. It kinda reminded me of the movie Martyrs (french version, aka, the good—and original—one). So it you enjoyed that movie, you’ll enjoy this book. This was definitely a credit well spent 🤌

Now this is horror!

I got the book on one of the 2 books for 1 credit sales, sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you understand why it was on sale. Intercepts was a gem, it was almost like an old school stephen king book.

Amazing deal

Wasn’t sure if this would be of interest to me. I was intrigued after 20 minutes and hooked after the end of chapter one. The story is intense and captivating. You feel for the characters; even the Antennae’s. The epilogue was mind blowing (and shameful, TBH).

The narration was superb. I’m a freak for tone and the voice actor was on point. Overall, a fantastic listen!

The ease of the flow of the storyline, characters and events.

This was a pretty scary listen in places and even had me cringing at times, however it does contain the typical sci-fi horror tropes. Overall, it kept me engaged the whole time with excellent descriptions and narration. The ending was somewhat predictable, but still very satisfying. This one is definitely worth a listen. I will be checking out other stories by this author soon.

You can't trust your senses!
