Little do they realize, the free passes to another haunted house experience they received upon exiting THE DARK SIDE OF HELL are tickets to the most horrifying times of their lives.

A tererible family goes to a haunted house and then get mandatorily invited back. Bad things happen.
Pros: neat uses of extreme/splatterpunk book titles, the first 25% of the book.
Cons: pretty much everything else.
BUT! The narration was perfection so kudos to the narrator for keeping me listening to the end.
Stay for the narration.

I was wrong lol. It’s extreme.
There’s a significant amount of gore just to be disgusting, so if that’s your jam you’ll love it. I enjoyed the actual story line, but the SA and unnecessary gore were not enjoyable (for me).
I loved the use of Indie author books as characters in this story. I haven’t read all of the books mentioned, but I recognized all of the names. Very cool Easter Egg. The narration was on point and voiced expertly.

The story is gross but strangely compelling. The Gibson family is “invited” to attend a haunted house called The Dark Side of Hell on Halloween night where they are subjected to incredible horrors and depravity that makes their own deep family problems pale in comparison. As you listen you can’t help but wonder what horrible things are going to happen next, so you keep going.
The characters are interesting, though I would have appreciated a little more depth. No one deserves the horrors visited upon them in this story, but I don’t feel like the characters really came to any realization or learned anything about themselves in the process of enduring the dark side of hell, Horror allows for self-examination and reflection even amidst body counts and gore. This is horror for the sake of horror, which is fine if that’s what you’re looking for.
The narrator does a good job of evoking the emotions in each character and upping the tensions on each scene. I have to admit that some of the voices he does add a darkly amusing air to the story, which works well I think.
Overall, a decent story but you really have to have a strong stomach to listen.
Make sure you have a strong stomach

I will start by saying that this is splatterpunk. As such, you can expect it to be loaded with vivid and graphic descriptions of gratuitous violence and vile, disgusting, and otherwise objectionable characters and situations. Don’t listen to this while you’re having dinner because you just might lose your appetite. You’ll understand when you get to the dinner scene.
This story begins with a family trip to a crappy haunted house called The Dark Side of Hell. None of the family really wants to be there, but the patriarch (Jim) is determined to spend some quality time with his wife and kids. On their way out, the old man running the place gives them tickets to return on Halloween. Jim accepts the tickets with no intention of ever returning. Their experience is completely underwhelming and they are happy to put this place in the rear view. However, the family soon finds they have no choice in the matter. One by one, they are kidnapped and brought back to The Dark Side of Hell. Each kidnapping is preceded by bloodshed. Jim’s affair partner is murdered. The old neighbor lady bites the bullet on the way to Mona (the mother). And the mission to extract Julian and Mamie from their school looks like a high casualty school shooting. The family returns to the haunted house battered and bloodied, but their injuries and humiliation are nothing compared to what Jack’s family has in store for them.
Let’s talk about the narration for a moment. Shrader Thomas is a new voice to me. I really enjoyed his performance. I appreciate narrators who can bring these levels of depravity to life without overdoing it. My only super minor nitpick is the way he pronounced Unbortion (unabortion). Otherwise solid narration.
This was a good read. It’s brutal and disgusting. It’s not your usual haunted house story in that there are no ghosts and all the violence is committed by humans, but it isn’t a humans are the real monsters story either. There is a supernatural element that plays its part in the background. Sure, there are some parts I didn’t love (wtf was that ending?!), and you don’t find yourself rooting for any of the characters except for maybe the daughter (until that ending anyway), but overall I liked it. I especially enjoyed the nods to his author friends in the form of naming characters after their books. Made my tbr just a little longer. If you like splatter and don’t mind if the story isn’t super fleshed out, you’ll love The Dark Side of Hell. Add this to your Halloween reading list.
dark is right
