The Revelation

By: Bentley Little

Narrated by: David Stifel

For the town of Randall, Arizona, the terror starts quietly, oddly - a senile woman in her 80s becomes pregnant. Then the town's beloved minister mysteriously disappears, leaving his church and home hideously defiled by blasphemous obscenities scrawled in blood. Farmers going out to their fields in the morning find their herds of goats slaughtered. Then, as the terror intensifies, the farmers themselves are massacred. The town begins to smell of death, and the trust which has bound neighbors to one another turns to ashes. But the relentless tide of death is only an augury of a far more unspeakable cataclysm. A stranger arrives, an itinerant preacher with mad eyes and an elemental presence named Brother Elias. He seeks out three men: The sheriff, tough, no nonsense Jim Weldon; the new minister, a gentle God-fearing soul named Father Andrews; and Gordon Lewis, a young newlywed whose pregnant wife Marina is the unknowing center of the coming fury. Together, these people must face an implacable force of evil as old as the world and as relentless as the desert sun....

Descent Horror Novel

This is the first Bentley Little book that I've listened to. The author has a fruitful imagination and a gift for writing pulp horror. I enjoyed the story and all of the disturbing imagery within. The author kept a good pace and I never found myself to be bored. The narration was solid, but I found the narrator to be a bit monotonic.

Riveting right up to the end!

Love that once again evil was defeated by good! Moved thru very quickly. Kept interest throughout the story. Worth a listen/read if you love good horror!

definitely different

Surprised me with story defently a new take on the oldest story .Good vs evil.

The Revelation

This was good,not great,but good and gross.Churches are being desecrated,a pastor and his family have dissapeared.So many theories,but the real cause goes back eons and will only be battled by old magic.David Stifel was a terrific narrator.
