For 12-year-old Garrett and his four best friends, the idyllic summer of 1989 crashes to a halt when Garrett's older brother vanishes.

Something is very wrong in Sallow Creek, Pennsylvania.

Something is turning their neighbors and relatives into unstoppable monstrosities...monsters that are coming for them.

Their small town is under siege, but the adults refuse to believe the truth. Can five young misfits and outcasts save the day?

As stated above I enjoyed the character interactions between the kids, but every other character felt kind of bland. Also the idea of a sluggish monster invading a small town but aside from its lethality & the dramatic discovery of its weakness I wished the creature could've been expanded upon. Also I wished the author didnt resort to so much crude language. Overall though it was an enjoyable listen, especially during Halloween.

Good characters but wished the story was longer.

If you love a book that sucks you in immediately and leaves you pondering the possibilities long after the epilogue is over, this is the book for you! Tony Urban has a knack for creating incredibly relatable characters that the reader can really connect to. The friendship between the characters transported me back to my own childhood and I felt like a participant in the group rather than an outside observer. The story was horrific, gory, gross, sad, nerve-wracking, frightening, and yet funny enough to have me laughing out loud many times. Reminiscent of Stranger Things, Within the Woods takes the reader along on a wild ride and leaves you hoping for a sequel when you’re finished!

Enthralled!

This is a good one! Sort of reminds me of early Stephen King. It’s well written with characters that you really like and cheer for. Sometimes you cheer, sometimes you despair, and sometimes you crack up. If you enjoy alien invasion horror, you’ll enjoy this.

Really scary!

Story 5/5
Narration - 5/5

"Within the Woods" by Tony Urban is one of the best coming-of-age tales I've read or listened to, and has to be in my top ten of the year.

The narrator is very talented.

As good as this story is, this is a case of must-listen-to if there ever was one!

Highly Recommended

I am definitely buying more books and audiobooks by Tony Urban! It reminded me of Stephen King from my early days, reading his work and with unabashed and unedited humor! I was riveted from the beginning all the way to the end! The story reminded me so much of the horror movies that I used to watch as a teenager and a young adult! And now that kind of writing style is back!

Lost Boys Like Humor in well written tale!
