Resumen del Editor

Heart-Shaped Box meets The Haunting of Hill House in Schrader's Chord, Scott Leeds's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open a gateway to the land of the dead.

I told you they were real.

After his estranged father’s mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two parting gifts: the keys to the family record store and a strange black case containing four ancient records that, according to legend, can open a gate to the land of the dead.

When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.

With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie’s resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader’s Chord before it’s too late?

Different and good

Great storyline and plot! Ending seemed a tad difficult to comprehend what was going on, but I’d definitely recommend it.

Can't wait for more from this author!

There are so many things that I love about this book. I read and Audibled as I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It had moments of horror that were terrifying alongside really great character development. I read AND Audibled and George Newbern's narration was perfection. I'm very excited to read future books by this author.

The best story I've heard in a while.

I don't usually write reviews but I'm making an exception for this. I've been on a listening kick the past few months and have listened to dozens of books in the horror/suspense genre. This one by far has been my favorite. The characters and story really came to life in my mind's eye. The author did a superb job and I really hope he writes more.

Uniquely entertaining!

This has been on my audible “you may also enjoy” for some time now, that algorithm is rarely wrong so I went for it! Great narration really ties together a fun and thrilling story! I consume so much horror it feels like themes are always the same, so this story was refreshing and engaging start to finish! Highly recommend, especially if you are craving something different!

Excellent Spooky Tale

Really enjoyed this book from start to finish. Finished in a day. Great character development, wonderful narration. Perfect book for October. Can’t wait for this author to write MORE.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

A fresh take on cursed objects, haunted music and death. I wasn’t expecting to be hooked so fast, I have a short attention span and if it isn’t interesting from the get go I’m out. Interesting, fleshed out characters I cared about. I’m excited to see what the author comes up with in the future. I will be listening!

extremely detailed

I felt like i could see it all happening. I loved it! definitely will read more from this author.

Cool story but no one to really get behind in this one.

I hate to knock anyone’s writing because this guy is a 100x the writer I am. I loved the idea behind this book and was ready to get hooked. Unfortunately I could never get behind the main characters. The only one I could pull for meets an early demise. The initial scene where the story gets serious does not have the aura of believability you want. You are thinking- after what you just saw you are going to do this with people you supposedly care about??
And the protagonist, despite multiple efforts by the author to develop positive traits, kind of comes off as selfish and whiny. By the end, I was just ready for it to be over. Interesting and fitting ending though. The narration exacerbated the whining nature of the main character for me but certainly wasn’t bad.
