Those Across the River Audiobook

" This was very different than I was expecting. The story was interesting, but I'm not altogether sure I would say it was good. It was creepy more than "horror" and I had trouble connecting with the narrator and his wife. "

" 3.5 This is written in a very sparse writing style and so the plot did not exactly flow. However, it was eerie and suspenseful and there was quite a bit of blood and horror. That said the writing style made some of the conversations rather awkward sounding and the novel as a whole not as scary as I thought it should be given the plot summary. "

" I thought it was going one way and then the story went another- not in a good way. "

" great characters, I loved the ending. I had no clue of what the book was about and I was surprised throughout. It really kept my attention! "

" It's was disturing at first but got interesting in middle of story..Suprise how end it in the..Good Story.. "

" Sigh. It started off with some genuine sense of suspense and menace, and then got, well, kind of dumb. At least in my opinion. Even if you like the occasional spooky novel, this one may not be worth your time...although the writing is okay and there were definite moments of scariness. It could have been more, I think. I was reading along, hypothesizing some kind of "Sawney Bean" thing, getting interested...and...darn. "

" Fantastic thriller--- this book really frightened me! "

" hard to read a book when you cannot stand the characters "

" Old-fashioned type horror story - very engaging! "

" Very slow. Not much horror at all. "

" This was a truly scary book which I couldn't put down until I was done. Unlike many scary stories, the characters were very real and I cared about what happened to them. This is the only book by this author. I will be watching for more. "

" Excellent debut. Will read more of this author. Great fun, truly creepy. "

" A very nice literary style. The author had a great way of describing. After the town stops sending pigs across the river every month, those across the river retaliate in gruesome ways. An author and his "bride" get caught up in the mayhem. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Thought it was suspenceful and it kept me up nights reading. "

" The pacing and unusual setting/time period for this story are the aspects of this story that really hooked me. Skilled use of description and dialogue created an absolutely believable world that stayed with me even when I closed the book. Hope the author continues to write more like this. "

" It takes a lot to suprise me expecially in horror, but, this book repeatedly suprised me. Unfortunaately I feel if I share anything other then what is on the dust cover I will ruin the adventure that is this book. "

" I really enjoyed the first half--it was deliciously creepy and impressively well-written; however, the second half took the story past the point of believability into the horror realm, and that is where it lost me. If you like the horror genre, you will love this. "

" Very scary and Southern Gothic. Good writing style, sort of langorous sentences with an interesting twist on lycanthropy. Don't read this one if you are in the house alone on a dark and stormy night! "

" Perfect creepy book for a gloomy day around Halloween - but I kept asking myself - Why don't they just feed them pigs again?! "

" It takes a little while to get really interesting, but once it does, it's down right creepy! "

" I enjoyed this gothic, creepy horror story. It is set in the south in 1935, and slowly unfolds to keep you cringeing. Interesting characters, and I listened to a fabulous reader. A great October book! "

" Spooky, quick read about a town in the middle of nowhere in the 20s and a nearby forest that is definitely hiding something bad. Lots of people haunted by the past; their own, the country's and society as a whole's. "

" Very scary! The writing style is excellent. I was immersed in the story from page 1. The ending is the kind that can be debated and discussed for a long time! "

" Some sort of WEIRD of warewolf story. :-s "

" Enjoyed this creepy story, however, the ending leaves you hanging. "

" There were certainly some spooky scenes in this book, but overall it was disappointing. The characters seemed to fall flat, the plot was unremarkable, and the ending seemed tacked on and unnatural. "
