About this listen
It starts with an odd hum that brings headaches and nosebleeds to the inhabitants of a remote, sleepy country town. Then a sinkhole begins to form...and out from that hole comes the townspeople's worst nightmares.
Facing their fears and the growing madness, a group of survivors descend into the collapsed area in an attempt to save what is left of their town. Sacrifices will be required, but will they be enough?
The hole is growing...spreading...and the horror within it is growing stronger....

You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Crease is known in Weaver as ‘the bug guy', the man who takes care of insects and other critters. But what emerges from the shadows of the town's waste plant is beyond anything found in nature. Fist-sized cockroaches. Bird-sized wasps. Spiders, millipedes, ticks, all swollen to enormous bulk with vicious appetites to match. And other things, creatures that should never exist.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Die Hard Meets 28 Days Later
- By G Wallace on 01-10-14
By: D. J. Molles
This story begins real-world-scary in that towns folk are besieged by giant holes forming in the ground that are swallowing up houses, cars and people at random. Big Man Sherif teams up with the town doctor to try and keep his townspeople safe. Along with a couple drunks and a rude old lady, these characters fight to the ends of the Earth to stay alive. I can't say more for fear of spoilers, but I can say that I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror and adventure. David A. Wood gives an absolutely phenomenal performance in this book.

This is the first story I have heard/read from William Meikle, and I enjoyed it. The story is good, though I didn’t love the characters. They are crafted well, they just didn’t resonate with me.
The story has something of a “Tremors” vibe, with there being a subterranean mystery. The main characters too remind me of the leads in that movie, as does the setting. There are some other similarities, though for the conflict Meikle turns to the occult rather than graboids.
David A. Wood does a good job of narrating. The character voices are distinct enough and his diction is crisp.

This book was well written. The book moves fast, and the narrator did a fantastic job! I was skeptical about this book when I downloaded it with a free credit but I gave it a shot. I truly enjoyed this book! I am not sure if this is a book that I would buy to keep in my huge library of actual hard copies of my books, but it is worth listening to.
I do recommend this book for anyone to try. The plot was not what I was expecting, which made made the book intriguing. If I had the time, I would have listened to this book in one whole day! I enjoyed it that much!! However, I have an extremely busy schedule. Therefore, I used every bit of my downtime to listen to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed “The Hole” and I highly recommend this book.

• Growing danger but it ends up being the likable characters which really fuel the roller-coaster.
• Creatively written with smooth narration.
• Lots of adventure that gets going fast, and doesn't wait for you to catch up... because it can’t ~ things are chasing you!
• More Cleaver - Less Cliche.
I’ve not been this riveted & entertained by a horror novel since I read “Phantoms”.

Overall, I liked the personal interactions of the main characters more so than the plot. It was a fun plot, but I really liked how the characters fit into the setting, how each of them developed throughout the story, and just how each one brought a unique personality to the group. The small-town setting coupled with the small town people were really what got me into their plight and had me emotionally attached to their survival. Meikle has a great ability to describe the characters and I instantly felt like I lived in the town and knew each person first hand. Meikle’s writing in general was quite descriptive and I found myself really enjoying his style.
Wood does a great job narrating this story. His voice perfectly fit the setting and characters. He did a great job with his character voices and I really liked Bill’s and Charlie’s voice. Since I was so character focused with this story, I really think Wood’s narration solidified that aspect for me as he did a solid job bringing each individual character to life and definitely wouldn’t have liked the book as much without him.
