They are dying, one by one. Wealthy, middle-aged women in an exclusive Connecticut suburb. Their murderer remains at large. Nora Chancel, wife of publishing scion Davey Chancel, fears she may be next. After all, her past has branded her a victim.... Then Davey tells Nora a surreal story about the Hellfire Club, where years before he met an obsessed fan of Chancel House's most successful book, Night Journey - a book that has a strange history of its own.
Suddenly terror engulfs Nora: She must defend herself against fantastic accusations even as a madman lies in wait. And when he springs, she will embark on a night journey that will put her victimhood to rest forever, dead or alive....

That said the performance was spectacular and the book sets a macabre mood that makes it great fun to read.
Incredibly Detailed

What disappointed you about The Hellfire Club?
Way too long! I got bored half way through -- but was determined to finished it. The abridged version probably would have been just long enough. I generally like Straub, but this was not one of his best. Plus the narrator's tone and diction was not a good match. At first I thought I was listening to some kind of comedy or children's book -- he sounded like Winnie the Pooh.Would you ever listen to anything by Peter Straub again?
ProbablyWho would you have cast as narrator instead of Patrick Lawlor?
Not sure of a name, but someone with a deeper timbor than Lawlor.You didn???t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Some - just too long.Get the abridged version!

What disappointed you about The Hellfire Club?
I don't like reading graphic descriptions of sexual assault. I like Straub -"Shadowland" was amazing-but this book made me feel ill.What do you think your next listen will be?
Joe Hill's NOS4A2Is this necessary?

Would you try another book from Peter Straub and/or Patrick Lawlor?
I have read other Peter Straub that I enjoyed, otherwise I would say NO!What do you think your next listen will be?
How do I know?How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was nasal, flat and emotionless. Absolutely the wrong voice for the story.What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
All the above. The men were horrible abusive misogynists, the women were weak, damaged, and way to willing to put up these horrible men.Any additional comments?
This is not something I would expected from Peter Strab.Please, don't buy this!
