About this listen

Based on the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and true historical events, The New Madrid Horror details the dastardly deeds which triggered a massive earthquake that devastated the state of Missouri along the Mississippi River. This is a story of family-gone-wrong, a tale of piracy, murder, and cannibalism. Worst of all, it reveals the cosmic horror derived from numerology. What is the true number of that great river? What happens when that number, that name, is called out?

This story originally appeared in Folded Steel: More Tales of the Weird and Woeful.

Horror on the Mississippi River.

Audible US: Danny Montooth brought even more creepiness into this short read. A new take on the Missouri/Mississippi river earthquakes. Twins having twins! Yes, incest. Twin brothers. Robbery. Cannibalism. Horror. Pure creepy horror.

Horrific

I'm unsure where to take this without revealing too much. Once again I appreciated Hollingsworth's rich vocabulary and clever wordplay as he unravels a nightmare of devastating ramifications. Having traveled this area of the country only made it that much more horrifying. This was a smart tale from an exceptional writer that shouldn't be missed.

Another great short for Lovecraft fans

Things wait in the wings and shadows of our world and when they are revealed and they come in to our world to play. Things will never be the same. Numerology and history collide to create a chilling tale of terror and destruction. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

The New Madrid Horror

What a weird and crazy story. Cosmic horror where brothers deal in magic and pursue evil devices to the point that one twin decides he must eat his brother to gain back in the bloodline. Things don’t go the way you may expect. I really liked it. It was a really well done tale.

Danny Montooth is awesome!

This is a messed up Lovecraftian tale. I liked it! It's really short but it packs a punch. I would listen or read more from this author. I listened to this one. It's narrated by Danny Montooth and wow! He is really, really good!
I requested this audio book in exchange for a honest review.
