About this listen

“An extraordinary work of humane imagination...call it magic realism with soul.” (Locus)

“Finely honed...always engages and frequently surprises.” (New York Times Book Review)

A man risks his soul and his sanity to save his family from malevolent forces in this brilliant novel of horror and the supernatural from the award-winning pioneer of speculative fiction and author of the classic My Soul to Keep.

When Hilton was a boy, his grandmother sacrificed her life to save him from drowning. Thirty years later, he begins to suspect that he was never meant to survive that accident, and that dark forces are working to rectify that mistake.

When Hilton's wife, the only elected African American judge in Dade County, Florida, begins to receive racist hate mail from a man she once prosecuted, Hilton becomes obsessed with protecting his family. The demons lurking outside are matched by his internal terrors - macabre nightmares, more intense and disturbing than any he has ever experienced. Are these bizarre dreams the dark imaginings of a man losing his hold on sanity - or are they harbingers of terrible events to come?

As Hilton battles both the sociopath threatening to destroy his family and the even more terrifying enemy stalking his sleep, the line between reality and fantasy dissolves....

Chilling and utterly convincing, The Between is the haunting story of a man desperately trying to hold on to the people and life he loves as he slowly loses himself.

Such an original story, I was glued to this book the entire time! The detail described and the amount of effort put into the writing really makes you get in the head of Hilton. Just amazing.

I was excited to listen to this one after hearing from the author and seeing the other “2” reviews. It was disappointing. I didn’t like the ending at all.

Excellent Listen!

I found the story enticing but the narrator's voice soothing to the point it was difficult to stay awake at the less exciting parts. Overall, definitely worth the listen.

Love the story

I've read/listen to more than a few books by this author and loved them all except for this one. The audiobook is not bad at all, but it was just missing something for me. At first, the story gave me Jacob's Ladder (the movie) vibes, but toward the end, it was just a no for me. The main character's "unhinging" was a bit much for me. I won't say too much, but this book was just okay for me.

It was Ehh

This was very interesting story of not only the supernatural, but also mental health. it was both thought provoking and an emotional roller-coaster for me.

Great story

To place this book in an ethnic literature category alone would be a mistake. Besides horror, there is a spiritual journey here that reminds me of Jacob's Ladder. There is enough here also to satisfy a fantasy and sci-fi itch as well. I must also compliment the author for writing from a male point of view when facing a moral conflict so convincingly.

Spirit journeys and dimensional rifts
