Flying dark, a plane carrying a team of mercenaries crash-lands on a remote snowy summit. When they come across a mazelike stone fortress, it’s no refuge from the wolves and the freezing wind. It’s more like a trap. What they discover can stop the heart—or worse. As terror takes a new shape, the real battle for survival begins in this unrelenting serialized novel from Academy Award–winning filmmaker and writer Guillermo del Toro.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“With his gritty brogue, narrator Ralph Ineson welcomes listeners to an icy summit where a plane has just crashed.… Ineson's delivery is punctuated by an unnerving soundtrack and realistic sound effects that bring the urgency of the scenario to life. Though she has less of a presence in this six-part serial, narrator Nina Yndis delivers a powerhouse performance that falls perfectly in line with del Toro's unsettling narrative landscape. Together, the narrators' inspired delivery creates an almost cinematic experience that never ceases to entertain.” —AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

A brilliant new horror story. I can’t wait for sequels! And the narrators super deep voice, once I grew accustomed to it, was absolutely perfect for the story.

A new horror monster!

I should have listened to other reviews about the narrator, while for some I can definitely see his voice enhancing the story for myself not at all his thick accent and gravel to his voice mixed with at times clearly a good amount of phlegm made it very difficult to understand and follow the story.

With that said what I could gleam of the story it's an interesting take on the vampire story that I will have to get a physical version of to fully appreciate.

Not for everyone

I enjoy the different sound effects added to this narration. They aren’t many, but they are subtle and simple enough to add a nice layer of storytelling not found in most audiobooks. The ending’s potential is great!

Short, sweet, and sinister

Pure emotional and visceral horror like only Del Torro can create. No one does vampire lore as well as these two creatives.

The atmosphere was perfect.

nothing new here. stock vampire fare. I thought the main characters dull and I found the readers super gruff voice to detract from the performance.

finally talking to the villain after 90% of the book
