About this listen
Four teenagers awaken in a scorched cornfield with no memory of how they got there. All they know is that there were five of them when they found the carcass of the mutilated cow.
Forty years later, Eric Devlin sends a cryptic email to the other three survivors: I remember everything.
Karl Doering has spent the majority of his life trying to understand what happened that night and learn the fate of his missing friend. He responds to the mysterious message and finds that Eric has killed himself in a decrepit barn, behind which is a cornfield filled with mutilated cattle.
When a local girl goes missing, Karl realizes he and the other two survivors are her only hope. To find her, they must confront repressed memories so traumatic they'd driven Eric to take his own life...and creatures straight out of their worst nightmares.

They call it the Bone Box. A collection of old cases, solved and unsolved, that continue to haunt forensic pathologist Birdy Waterman. None is more disturbing than the first. After two decades, Birdy still remembers the screaming. The blood on the boy's hands. The body of a girl, butchered in the woods. Birdy's testimony helped put her own cousin behind bars. It was a sacrifice for what she thought was right - but now, 20 years later, she wants to reopen the box.

Story
100,000 years ago the object hit the lake at the deepest point, quickly sinking into its mile-deep Stygian darkness. The sheets of ice closed, time moved on and the land forgot. But over the centuries, legends grew of people vanishing, of strange, deformed animals and of an unexplained luminescence down in the lake depths. When Marcus Stenson won the lucrative contract to create a sturgeon fish farm on the site of disused paper mill on the shore of Lake Baikal, he thought he had won the lottery and refused to listen to the chilling folktales....

Story
Like the "Dark Continent" of Africa, the dark island of Madagascar holds many chilling secrets. One of them is a long-thought extinct species of dinosaurs living at the country's core. A massive earthquake rocks the mountain range within the Andringitra National Park. The splitting Earth reveals a network of tunnels, hidden away for millennia. Responding to the series of violent upheavals, a pack of hypersensitive predators flee their subterranean home; frenzied and hungry, they head for the surface.

When a sink hole opens up near the Australian outback town of Pintalba, it uncovers a pristine cave system. Sam joins an expedition to explore the subterranean passages as paramedic support, hoping to remain unneeded at base camp. But, when one of the cavers is injured, he must overcome paralyzing claustrophobia to dive pitch-black waters and squeeze through the bowels of the earth. Soon he will find there are fates worse than being buried alive, for in the abandoned mines and caves beneath Pintalba, there are ravenous teeth in the dark.

Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health. First Ben's fiancée leaves him; then his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine's noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben.

A solid read for sci-fi nerds
A worthy read, if you're a sci-fi nerd who appreciates a bit of ripped-from-the-headlines reality inspiring your stories.
It strikes him that the memories he recalls belong to a boy who has been gone for such a long time, he no longer feels real.
Jumping from teen years to middle age, we follow a group of kids (now grandparents) who experience something so horrifying it defines their lives, even if they try to forget what happened.
You'll be glad to know Unidentified accomplishes in 193 pages what Summer of Night danced around for a whopping 634. Something evil is stalking a rural town, and things get insane while people try to deal with it, or tragically decide not to.
The ending was shockingly abrupt, but the epilogue gives you a bit to chew on so you don't leave hungry. And the nice little dessert in the author's notes satisfies the nerd in you who simply has to go check his research, and see if it all really adds up.

Scary!
Scary from the get-go. Don’t read it at night. Glad it was short. Couldn’t have taken much more. Thoughts to ponder as well that last past the book.

Great First Contact book
Unidentified by Michael McBride and narrated by the great How Hempel is a terrific and terrifying short story about friends that met the unknown when they were young. This event brought about this story, the second meeting! Wow! Very unique!
Wonderful narration that kept the tension tight! Great job as usual!!!

Finish it...
This novella has a few slow moments, but if you’re a fan of alien-related science fiction you will enjoy this. Just be sure to listen to the epilogue as others have mentioned. I am a big fan of McBride’s writing and if you enjoy this and haven’t started the 51 trilogy, you should. The narrator says in Unidentified isn’t as good as the 51 trilogy, but is still good. Give this one a try.

Interesting....
I went into this completely blind so I had absolutely NO idea what this book was about.
It is actually a short story that takes us back in forth between 2 different timelines - 20+ years ago and the present. We go back and forth as the author slowly unfolds the story.
Apparently, there were 5 teenagers involved in an event (20+ years ago) and for some reason, NO ONE can remember a period of 24 hours. All they know id that only 4 of them came out of the experience. Wyatt was missing.
Karl, one of the kids (now an adult), is now a specialist in the field of study directly related to that past event. He comes back to town after he receives an odd email from one of the other kids involved.
The email states "I remember everything". The story takes off from there.......

Good but not great
I like the premise, the narration was pretty good, but in terms of the overall story I could not, for the life of me, focus on it. Ultimately it just did not appeal to me.

a whole lot of nothing
for a short book, there isn't much movement with the plot. there's a eerie mystery here, but it's a bunch of jumping around, back and forth, only vaguely touching on what's happening. i got about a third of the way through before i decided to stop wasting my time
