That was the worst choice for a narrator! Puts you right to sleep! I really wanted to love this book but I couldn’t enjoy it at all.
worst narration ever!

Some of the body horror scenes were creepy, but overall this is an unrewarding book. Don’t be fooled by the blurbs – this is decidedly *not* cosmic horror. The narrator’s attempts at various foreign accents are the real horror here. Also, I don’t have the capacity to suspend disbelief enough to accept that radiation works..
Had to give up on it

It doI could not like a single one of the main characters, just could not relate to any of them at all. Every time the father opened his mouth I lost more interest. The painting itself was very interesting and creepy, props for that. I got halfway through the book when a character died and..
Too weird for me!

overall I did not enjoy this book. I had such a hard time finishing it. it was very hard to maintain my focus or interest especially in the end. the way the book ended didn’t make sense to me and it left questions to be answered. the guy reading the book did a fantastic job!..
I wanted to love it, I was hopeful to be transported to a 90’s tale of horror. Instead I listened to the rambling of a story that was too far fetched and poorly developed to be scary. The random pops of 90’s references did not help build the plot and seemed forced.
Not my cup of anything

I didn’t like story at all. Too predictable and it’s not a horror from my perspective. Thought it will improve by the end, but nope. Spoilers alert!! Firstly, thanks to the author for separating Ukraine and russia. While I do appreciate it as a Ukrainian, at the end he still got all mixed up into..
Mehhh

If you’re fairly new to horror then you might like this one. Atmospheric and creepy, made even more so by the skilled narrator, it’s not bad. The problem for me is I’ve read this story many times before, done far better than this. I didn’t dislike it but I’ve spent more than 30 years reading..
Confusing

I am a big fan of horror, but this book confused the hell out of me. I read all the reviews, and everyone seemed to love it, but I still can’t figure out what the hell was going on.
Gory and Not Scary

This book was not for me. I was hoping for something scary, and while there was tons of violence and gore, that doesn’t give me a fun creepy feeling. It was just gross and I was not hooked by the well-trodden premise of a dude trying to save his wife. *small spoiler for first chapter*..
