About this listen
JEKYLL & HYDE meets THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE in this dark and twisting thriller from the author of Bad Parts.
Kelly O’Neill hates many things—her dead-end job, her passionless marriage, her strained relationship with her daughter—but none more than the month of September.
Each year, a sinister letter arrives in her mailbox, a chilling reminder of her past misdeeds sent by a grieving mother. But this year, as the message reaches Kelly, a nightmarish entity attacks her daughter Emma within the confines of an eerie abandoned house. Though physically unharmed, Emma is left mysteriously unable to walk after the incident.
As Emma struggles to recover, Kelly ventures into the house's attic, desperate to unravel the source of the horror. To her astonishment, she encounters a doppelganger—an exact replica of herself, with the same appearance, voice, and mannerisms.
Determined to understand her daughter’s worsening condition, Kelly captures the doppelganger and demands answers. But instead of answers, she receives another vengeful letter in the mail. This time, the threat is clear—Kelly must confront her own dark past or risk losing her daughter forever.
In a heart-pounding race against time, Kelly must navigate a treacherous alliance with her doppelganger and piece together the connection between the house, the letters, and their malevolent sender. Will Kelly uncover the truth and save her daughter before they both succumb to a morbid fate?

Story5 out of 5 stars 173,969
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4 out of 5 stars 122
Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Well paced and addictive from start to finish
I listened to the entire novel in less than 72 hours. It’s gripping in a way that had me making excuses to drive or cut grass or engage in literally any solitary activity in order to listen to another chapter and advance the story! The performance is excellent and I like how there’s such definite distinctions between all of the voices that make it easy for a listener to discern who’s speaking. The story itself was full of twists and turns. I’m usually pretty good at predicting where a story will go but I was way off this time. This is a 5 out of 5 star work. Highly recommended!

Engaging Story and Narration
The story is gripping and unique. the characters are relatable. The pacing is perfect and each scene moves seamlessly. The narrator captures the feel, and provides a distinct voice to each character without sounding cartoonish.

Perhaps the most thrilling and terrifying…
…is the self reflection of seeing the characters in yourself as you read/listen. McNulty’s latest delves into places I shudder to think about and I love it.

The slow burn of things spiraling out of control more and more is fantastic
Enjoyed the zoomed in perspective on the main characters, bad decision-making, plus there are some great ideas and twists

So creative and unexpectedly deep
A wonderfully inventive thriller with a lot of deep delving into the souls of the characters. In the end I think this is a tale that will haunt you long after the ending with the deeper meanings behind what is going on.
