About this listen

David Boone, a man with a perfect life, a nice house, a beautiful wife, and a beloved dog.

With the house to himself for a week, David is thrilled to have time to pursue his dreams of becoming a successful writer. But as the hours tick by in his dark and empty home, solitude begins to feel suffocating and his grip on reality starts to slip.

Suddenly plagued by nightmarish visions and hallucinations, David begins to wonder just how much of what he is seeing is only his imagination. Would you even know if you were losing your mind?

This was a short surreal and wild journey and I loved every bit of it! I enjoyed this author’s work before, so I was excited to jump onto this one! Also, great narration by Tony Deurmier, making me visualise the story perfectly.

Through nightmarish visions, horrific twists and an overall mindwarp, this story would leave you asking yourself “Is any of this real? Is reality true?”. Although it’s not a slow burn by any means, it starts quite mild, with David’s wife leaving for work and reminding him to take his antibiotics for his sickness. But after missing one dose David’s hellish journey begins, where he encounters all sorts of messed up people and places!
For real, this author’s imagination is untamed and I’m here for it.

I love how this story plays on some of the conspiracy theories out there creating something truly mad in the best possible way. And the imagery? So lucid and expressive, cinematic even.

I want to stop here before I reveal too much of the plot, but believe me, if you love surreal and deranged, then you’d want to jump on it too!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

Be ready to experience a nightmare!
