What happens when temperatures flare between a mother and son? A few degrees make all the difference in this New York Times bestselling author’s blazingly chilling story of psychological terror.

It’s the hottest winter on record, but Raymond’s demanding, bedridden mother doesn’t mind. She likes it warm. Lately, however, control over the thermostat has become a nasty struggle. And each morning that she’s still alive is a suffocating new challenge for Raymond. How high can the mercury climb before he boils over?

Jesse Kellerman’s Controller is part of Warmer, a collection of seven visions of a conceivable tomorrow by today’s most thought-provoking authors. Alarming, inventive, intimate, and frightening, each story can be read, or listened to, in a single breathtaking sitting.

So far the only book in the series that has enough structure to keep your interest. It at least has a story line that you want to hear out. Even though it doesn’t really play out to the story line in the end.

Humm... My pet peeve, is a book where I hate the two main characters... I hated the old lady, the mom, such a needy bitch. Oh gods, and her voice was just... jarring... (I myself am an older woman, I hope to god to never sound like this.) and the adult son, wow, that's another thing to have allowed his life to go so far out of control... I don't care how hot it gets outside...
The book is well written... And I thought the narration was good as Chris Andrew Ciulla preformed each character well...

Not for me...

An annoying listen about an abusive mother and her son that was drove to madness.

Dramatic Narrator and Annoying Arguement

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A psycho mother and a totally inept almost-psycho son fight for control over their house's thermostat during a crazy winter-time heat wave. She wants it hot, he wants the air conditioning. A weird. sick relationship. Now that you know this, you don't have to waste your time listening to this if you don't want to.

Pathological and Depressing

Even if the storyline was interesting; which it wasn’t, the narrator has the most distracting and irritating voice on the planet.

No. Just no.
