Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan.
On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make....

Critic reviews
Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

i wonder too

It’s a good book with an interesting story. I feel that with it being narrated by the author, the author knows where to put emphasis and so on in his own writing. There is the occasional clicking others say in their reviews, but it’s infrequent and tolerable. Give this book a listen, it’s well written!
Chill, it’s not that bad

This story started out slow as if it was a coming of age story, I stuck with it and eventually became so engrossed in the storyline, I couldn’t stop listening & begging for it to end.
Absolutely horrific!
I am left with an overwhelming sense of loss & sadness. I feel as if I am carrying this little girl with me throughout my daily tasks.
If you see or believe there is abuse happening please speak up & for the love of God teach your children to do the same.
When will it end

This was hard to listen to. The narrator was excellent. He should be once it was read by the author. But the content is strong, and you can feel the suffering inside your mind, at least I could. I found myself unable to stop listening but at the same time found it difficult to continue. I suppose that's good considering the content. That's great for any book.
Excellent reading of an excellent book
