a very creepy read. loved the movie Antlers that took it's idea from this story. the background noise makes this audiobook fly by and gives a very professional feel to the whole experience.

Achieving the feat of writing a story with this kind of sustained suspense and dread without annoying your audience is fn HARD. I was fully riveted from start to finish. I've also watched the movie and there are enough differences where you can enjoy both equally. Any changes between original & movie felt like seeing how the story could play out if a character makes a different choice here or there - not changes just for sake of surprising the audience. (I'm looking at you season 8 of GOT. lol)

Really intriguing beginning, but the ending was unsatisfying. No answers or explanations just , nothing.
