Underwood and Flinch

By: Mike Bennett

Narrated by: Mike Bennett

All David Flinch ever wanted was a normal life. But when you're a member of the Flinch family, normal has never been easy.

For hundreds of years, the eldest-born male of each generation of the Flinch family has been servant and guardian to the vampire, Lord Underwood. While the Flinches have changed through the generations, Underwood has remained eternal. David had hoped to be spared the horror of serving his family's lord and master, but when he is summoned to the Flinch home in Spain by his dying older brother, he knows his luck has run out.

After 50 years of slumber, Underwood is to be resurrected from the grave in a ritual of human sacrifice, and David, by right of succession, is to be his resurrector. But there is another Flinch, one who craves the role of guardian to the vampire: David’s sister, Lydia. It’s a job she means to have, even if it means making David’s the first blood shed in this new age of Underwood and Flinch.

Underwood and Flinch is a blackly humourous thriller of sibling rivalry and vampire horror set in a British expat community in rural Spain, with a sub-plot involving Russian mobsters on the Costa del Sol.

Underwood and Flinch was podcast from 2008 - 2012, winning the coveted Parsec Award for Best Small Cast Story (Long Form) in 2012 and 2013. This audiobook is the original podcast audio minus music and remastered for audiobook release. It also includes the short story, "Night Crossing", which serves as a short introduction to Underwood and Flinch.

I can not recommend this enough

I have been waiting to buy this book on audible for YEARS. I listened to it back when it was coming out chapter by chapter in podcast format. It has everything you could want in a modern vampire horror type story. The action is well balanced with horror, humor, and emotion. Mike Bennett narrates his own book and he does a fantastic job as a narrator. I’m always a fan of when authors narrate their own work and Mike absolutely crushes it. It’s a fantastic story and has something in it for everyone!

It has it all!!!

The more you fall into this story the more it gives. It has all of my favorite genres wrapped up in this tale and I cant get enough!

Great Spin on the Typical Horror Icon

The first time I heard this audiobook was in the public domain of Librivox. I could not wait to purchase it from audible.
The story is amazing and the characters are easy to relate too. it's rare to find a book where the vampire isn't the antagonist but
Mike Bennett pulls it off in spades. When you complete this title look for his other works. One Among the Sleepless and Blood and Smoke.

One of my all time favorites

I really feel this is one of the best vampire stories ever. Masterfully done Mr. Bennett

Just buy it!

One of the best books ever written. The characters are incredibly engaging. The story is well put together and fresh. The narration is absolutely masterful. … and I am picky, so that’s saying a lot.
