Killing It

By: Mike Bockoven

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

From the twisted and imaginative mind of Mike Bockoven, author of the cult classic FANTASTICLAND, comes a wholly original and witty new novel of terror, perfect for fans of FROM DUSK TIL DAWN and SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

Since the late 1980's, The Square had been one of the most important clubs in New York for the alt-comedy scene. But before that it was something much darker and is now a place where evil lingers, waiting for a chance to spill blood.

After a night of killing on stage, four comics find themselves in a desperate situation as the spirits of the past come out to play, and a fight for laughs becomes a fight for survival in the most unlikely of places.

Great storytelling

I love this author! The way he tells a story keeps you entertained and wanting more.

Story Just Doesn’t Make It

This wasn’t what I was hoping for from Bockoven. The story wasn’t tight, and none of the characters were compelling. Just a meh ghost story that doesn’t really go anywhere. Leaving a review to boost Bockoven through because I’ll read anything he writes after Fantasticaland.

Enjoyable but just okay.

My expectations were high because of how much I love Fantasticland. This isn't that. it's decent. fast-paced, bloody and fun, but it lacks a strong message.

I'd group it with novels like Horrorstor and the Troop. it's a bit pulpy but fans of those novels will enjoy it.

Great Story

I loved every book he’s written so far. This one was really good too. Would definitely listen again.

I do Fantasticland every year. It doesn’t get any better

Good tale in a unexpected environment

This book takes place in a comedy club and I enjoyed how the comics were these damaged and mostly likable people in a doozy of a situation. There were some interesting little comedy club/open mike insider information sprinkled in the story that was cool to learn. I liked this book and the narration was nicely done.
