Tormented

By: Lee Mountford

Narrated by: Hannibal Hills

Welcome to Arlington Asylum, a place where the insane and the forgotten are brought to die

Adrian James is running from his past with nothing left to live for. At rock bottom, with a blade to his wrist, a mysterious stranger intervenes and offers him a chance at salvation.

Adrian accepts, and he enters Arlington Asylum of his own free will. Once inside, however, he soon learns that he will never escape. And worse, there are strange experiments taking place here, and a secretive medicine is being administered, one that causes certain…changes…in the patients.

The insidious secrets within the halls of Arlington Asylum are slowly revealed, and it is beyond anything Adrian could have possibly imagined. A literal hell is unleashed as impossible and terrifying creatures indulge their sadistic desires.

Adrian and his friends must escape this nightmarish place and warn the outside world before it’s too late, but they must face down the demons of hell to do so.

Tormented is a gruesome and violent horror story, influenced by such greats as John Carpenter’s The Thing, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, and Jeremy Gillespie’s The Void.

Do you dare enter the Asylum?

Not Bad

My opinion of this book kind of vacillated between thinking it was great and thinking it was okay/not the worst. Over all, I don't consider Tormented to be a waste of time for a horror lover. The narration is pretty good, although at times it was a bit lifeless. However, Hannibal Hills really shines at making the different characters come to life by using different accents and intonations. I am not sure if this book would be as good being read as a physical copy, because Mr. Hills really captures anger and aggression to the point where it becomes unsettling- perfect for this genre! I do hope he will read more horror in the future.

I think this book is worth picking up if you like disturbing characters and a story set in an asylum. I am definitely interested in listening to more Hannibal Hills- he has a lot of potential.

Mr. Hills takes you on a ride with Mr. Mountford’s

Tormented is set in the 1950’s in England. We get an up close look at an asylum where there’s odd happenings going on… is it supernatural or the doctors? Perhaps a bit of both! I was fascinated with the electroshock therapy sessions, the trans-orbital lobotomies, ice baths, and off blood transfers. This book is cruel and gruesome! The gore in this book was just an explosion of blood and ick! The orderlies aren’t the only monsters walking the floors. Watch out behind you! Don’t go to sleep! Pick a scary euphemism… it works here!

Hannibal Hills tells a scary story like no one else does! That British accent just gives me chills with the way he retells these horror stories. His voice is so full of fear and fascination. It’s hard not to get pulled into whatever story he’s telling. Mr. Hills takes you on a ride with Mr. Mountford’s words!

Great horror story

A great horror story. Loved it. The suspenseful and creepy story held my interest throughout. The narration was very well done. I pretty much devoured this book and binge listened to it because I didn't want to wait to find out what happens.

Awesome!

Loved it from beginning to end. Well written without a boring moment. For horror fan this is filled with blood guts and fire. Not for the weak stomachs!

The performance of Hannibal Hills is flawless. His reading gives reality to the story.

So Good!

Excellent horror story! Honestly I have to say this story was not what I was expecting it was better than I expected. For me horror stories are usually a hit or miss but this one was really good. It held my attention and there was so much detail when describing the “monster” mutation that patients were going through. It was so interesting and it definitely was not your average horror story. I liked the fact that it was a paranormal horror because that wasn’t what I was expecting. It caught me off guard but intrigued me too. I would recommend it if you’re looking for an out of the ordinary horror book that’s actually good.
