Agroland

By: Daniel Arthur Smith

Narrated by: Sam Burns

In a desolate desert, members of an isolated agricultural station discover a stranger, dehydrated, delirious, and near death from exposure. His weak frame is thin, desiccated. His blistered flesh is wooden, and in his madness a faint, raspy chant slips from his near lipless mouth: "So many, not enough. So many, not enough."

You know it's a good story when...

Captivated sitting in the car for 30mins just to hear what happens with Caruthers next!

I finished it because I paid for it.

it was okay. I was expecting more body horror, but it was pretty routine. "Oh no, we run from monster!"
Plus, the author differentiated female characters by little more than breast size.

Missing a Chapter

I liked the story, but the recording is missing chapter 20. Chapter 20 is listed, but when I play it, it’s chapter 21. The story definitely jumps into another scene as well. Dang it. Quit listening at that point.

Loved it!

This is a great story, and hearing it told after having read it several times.... it was great!

Leaves a bad taste..

Action?Yes.Suspense?some.Horror?some?Obvious bad choices?Of course.Solid ending?Hardly.Just watch any SyFy film and you've basically covered this short story.I loved the idea of you-know-what in the desert, I was pumped to see how it turned out.But events are scattered with 'victims' showing up later?Its entertaining but not much substance.The fictional team of the book was pretty solid,nearly each member could've been a challenge for the bad guy if they hadn't been taken out too quickly. I'd reccomend this to friends and family,its a great premise and I hope there is a sequel or continued confrontation with the villain.
