Afraid

By: Jack Kilborn

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907...

Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...

A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it's headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.

Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven's only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying—maybe death hasn't come to his little town by accident...

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907... 906... 905...

What Kind of Sick F&%#...

What did you love best about Afraid?

So I told my girlfriend to recommend a book that would "shock me"; a book that would make me think "what kind of sick f&%# would come up with something so disturbing?!"

Well I didn't have that exact reaction from Afraid. One theory is because maybe I'm already some kind of sick f&%# myself. :) That's actually a pretty solid theory...

With that said, what I will say is that I discovered a really creative and gripping story. Yes, there is some serious gore, but the author only gives enough detail about those situations to allow your imagination to take it to the next sick level. He doesn't dwell on those details and that keeps the story moving at a great pace.

Scary Stuff

I agree with Barry from Vancouver 100%. This is an outrageously scary story and one of these days, I will work up the courage to listen to the whole thing! (I'm still checking that my doors and windows are locked, and peeking through the curtains!)
Dick Hill would have been a much better narrator. He can do "menacing" very well but I probably would have had a heart attack in the first chapter!

Afraid

This is a KILLER Book, I cant wait for another by this authur !!!!!

GREAT BOOK

What made the experience of listening to Afraid the most enjoyable?

It kept me riveted. The story line is plausable when you hear bits and pieces of information the government has kept hidden for "national security"

What was one of the most memorable moments of Afraid?

The final round up od escape.

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No But I will

Awesome read!!

This book is not for the faint of heart! Having said that, I loved it! It's very detailed and you get to know the characters well. The narrator used wonderful different bpices for each character and I found it very entertaining, both the story and the narration
