Residents have an unspoken pact with the island’s unnatural inhabitants: ignore them, live happily. But in New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix’s thrilling short story, one boy can’t look away—and pays the price.

Jeckle Island offers Rachel’s children the chance to spend summers roaming wild and free, as long as they follow the rules. But when her son comes face to face with a terror they dare not speak of, she must prepare for their perfect world to change. Forever.

Grady Hendrix’s The Blanks is part of The Shivers, a collection of haunting stories that reveal the otherworldly terrors all around us. Once you know, there’s no going back. Read or listen to each story in one unsettling sitting.

This was a short story, an Amazon Original about about a much sought after island vacation with a dark secret. What happens is noted in the description. Story is a good one with excellent, heartfelt narration. I knew what was going to happen, but it was still a good short listen. A quote from one of my favorite shows applies-Stargate SG1, The Nox noted that the very young do not always do as they are told. Paradise isn't all it is cracked up to be.

Grady Hendrix never disappoints. The other stories in the series were good, but this one stands head and shoulders above them all. My fave for sure.

best one in the lot

The narrator captured my mind instantly and I was able to sink into the story. I love when the narrator has that magic to help the author bring the story to life. The author is a favorite and I truly appreciate his talent. I just wish there was more !

The narrator is amazing.

Book was super intense, and kept my interest. Would not have read if I knew, it didn’t have a HEA. I don’t like books that are not happily ever after. I don’t understand how a mother would not fight for her children.

Ending will make you angry.

This was very good. Unfortunately it ended too soon and I wanted it to continue! Who is the real monster?

Wish it could continue..
