About this listen
A college freshman finds herself stranded in Arizona with no place to stay and nowhere to run. Cabin fever closes in on an isolated park ranger, as two sinister beauties lurk in the desert outside his door. A California divorcee is starting a promising new life. But her young son knows better—because he's seen what's creeping outside the window. A cross-country traveler is on a journey of self-discovery. But one tourist trap holds its own dreadful surprises....
Four strangers with one thing in common: a mysterious train choking the sky with black smoke, charging trackless across the American night...and carrying an unstoppable evil, raised from the bowels of history, that will bring their worst fears to life.

Fear has made Sue Wing run from the darkened school and into night, a fear so powerful she can only name it using the Cantonese myths of her grandmother: Cup-hu-girngsi, the corspe who drinks blood. Reporters like Rich Carter don't believe in the supernatural, but all the signs are pointing to the same conclusion: a vampire is stalking the streets of Rio Verde.

Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under.

The formerly laid-back principal has become unusually strict. And with her toadying secretary, she seems to be running the show. That isn’t all. The janitors no longer work nights because of what they hear. The students are frightened by what they see. And things are happening on school grounds that defy rational explanation. But there is an explanation. It’s just not anything that anyone can begin to believe — or hope to survive.

Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find. Among Joan’s belongings is a prayer written on a small scroll. It’s a safeguard — and a warning — from something called The Outsiders. For Gary and his friends, it’s the only clue.

In the southwestern desert, a mysterious cult prays for the return of the Visitors. Only one creature can derail that grand and glorious event: An evil entity, known as the Duad, can keep the Visitors from arriving and prevent the transfiguration to come. Daley, who lives nearby, has a far more serious problem: an alien consciousness that has taken up residence in her head.

Story
It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Story
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mongolian Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.

Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find.

Farmers going out to their fields in the morning find their herds of goats slaughtered. Then, as the terror intensifies, the farmers themselves are massacred.

Very much enjoyed this book!
For a Bentley Little book this was very well paced and didn’t bog down as I think some of his other novels have.
I found myself waking up at night and needing to keep listening! I finished it in about 4 days! A record for me!

Very strange
I'm a huge Bentley Little fan, but this story had me perplexed. It was not scary and didn't have any of his usual "weirdness" in it. It was dull and seemed to just go on an on. There were way too many "main" characters and there didn't seem to be any cohesiveness. The narration was fine, just an odd story that I struggled to get through.

Little is a one trick pony
I've listened to quite a few of Little's books, but this is going to be the last. I think he writes well for the most part and comes up with some cool concepts (some work, some don't) and his books aren't bad, but he can't seem to write a book without shoehorning politics and race baiting into it. Maybe I'm in the minority here and most people don't mind eating every meal with a side of "white guilt", but it breaks the immersion and I think he could write better books without using racism as a crutch or throwing in some thinly veiled politics (when theres a veil at all) for some cheap confirmation bias thrills. Aside from all that, the pace is sporadic, but overall too slow. Something horrific and world-changing will occur and then the next thing you know, they've moved back to bland dialogue and forgotten about that life-altering thing. Pretty frustrating.
