Historia
For over 20 years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mt. Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity.
But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all. For one night, they will investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House.

It starts with the dogs. They won’t stop barking. And then the earth shrugs - 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755, and it doesn’t hit California or Japan or Mexico, but New Madrid, Missouri, a sleepy town on the Mississippi River. Seismologists had predicted the scope of the disaster - but no one listened. For hundreds of miles around, dams burst, engulfing entire counties in tidal waves of mud and debris. Within minutes, there is nothing but chaos and ruin from St. Louis to Vicksburg, from Kansas City to Louisville.

Fred Daniels, a Black man, is picked up by the police after a brutal double murder and tortured until he confesses to a crime he did not commit. After signing a confession, he escapes from custody and flees into the city’s sewer system. This is the devastating premise of this scorching novel, a never-before-seen masterpiece by Richard Wright. Written at the height of his creative powers, it would see publication in Wright's lifetime only in drastically condensed and truncated form, and ultimately be included in the posthumous short story collection Eight Men.

Historia
Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

Wyatt Gwyon's desire to forge is not driven by larceny but from love. Exactingly faithful to the spirit and letter of the Flemish masters, he produces uncannily accurate "originals" - pictures the painters themselves might have envied. In an age of counterfeit emotion and taste, the real and fake have become indistinguishable; yet Gwyon's forgeries reflect a truth that others cannot touch - cannot even recognize.

On December 26, 1973, The Exorcist was released. Within days it had become legend. Moviegoers braved hours-long lines in winter weather to see it. Some audience members famously fainted or vomited. Half a century later, the movie that both inspired and transcends the modern horror genre has lost none of its power to terrify and unsettle. The Exorcist Legacy reveals the complete story of this cultural phenomenon, from the real-life exorcism in 1949 Maryland that inspired William Peter Blatty's bestselling novel on which the movie is based, to its many sequels, prequels, TV series, and homages.

The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

Fantastically narrated.
Very well narrated. Regarding the book itself, I found that it follows the book to a T more or less. The parts where it goes deeper into the stories or adds more lore are few and far between.

Satisfied by the story, not so much the narratorr
The Omen is a great story, and while I was satisfied by the story itself, the narrator got on my nerves. Every Englishman had a default Cockney accent, or would swap between Cockney and posh, and that inconsistency was annoying and reductive, as if Americans only know two speeds of English accents. Another example of that - the nanny sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire. Not a lot of originality there. I feel like if you’re going to do accents in a book, you should strive to do them correctly. Also, there wasn’t much emotional range or difference between characters in that sense. Panic or anger sounded the same in everyone. So! If you can get past the narrator, it really is a great story.

Not bad at all
I’ve seen the movie several times and have always been intrigued by the story. The book closely follows the movie so no big Surprises by straying away from what you may have already seen. The box however does go in to other details that can’t be expressed on the big screen. Such as what Thorne was thinking or how they came about certain information. I Thoroughly enjoyed listening and thought it was a solid book. You won’t be disappointed.

It’s pretty much the same plot as the movie but with additional background details about the characters that help to explain their behavior and humanize or devilize them more than the movie.

A great listen of a classic horror
Who could forget the film, The Omen?! Listening to the novel after all this time was quite something. Good tension and fast plot. The narrating by Holly Palance was/is superb and really greatly enhanced the atmospherics:). Not sure why “Mark Owen” was also listed as “narrator” as he didn’t narrate any of the book? but just gave add on comments at the end. Anyhow, Enjoy if you like this genre!

Good creepy fun.
I've been listening to some horror classics lately and they wouldn't have been complete without The Omen. This was a fast-paced listen that made seven hours speed by. The narration was good, the men’s voices a little contrived sometimes, but not off-putting, just a little humorous. Some of the content is a little dated, as far as the attitudes towards psychiatry and mental health issues go, but it didn't distract. I’ve never watched the film in its entirety, so I found some of the scenes very descriptive and detailed to the point I could picture them clearly. The cemetery in Italy and Katherine v. Blaylock in the hospital scenes were particularly exciting. It reminded me of those mass-produced horror paperbacks from the 80’s I loved so much and went through voraciously: exciting, gruesome, and horrifying. It was just an enjoyable creepy devil story with that ‘gotcha’ kind of ending.

Exceptional
Really enjoyed it. First of all couple words about performance - I usually don't like a narration with a female voice - just a matter of preference I guess (usually can't follow it for long). But this one... Oh my God. If all of the female narrators did such an outstanding job I'd never have a bias in the first place. Holly is amazing, and she really did amazing job separating characters and giving a chilling atmosphere. Story was great as well - I've never seen the movie but now I want to!
If you enjoy Exorcist and master King's horror stories, you'll love this book. Highly recommend!

One of my favorites
I've alwayd loved the movies and wondered if the book was any better, but the movie actually follows it very closely.
