Noro

By: William F. Gray

Narrated by: Derek Austin

As a blizzard hits their rural Wyoming homes, Jonah Miller and his neighbor Con think the worst thing they have to worry about is being trapped and isolated with their dogs.

Then Con’s German Shepherd gets out in the middle of the storm after a mysterious meteor crashes out in the woods, forcing Jonah and Con to learn that there’s far more to fear than the cold and the snow piling up outside their doors...

John Carpenter’s THE THING meets CUJO and THE TROOP in NORO, a horror novella about two men’s fight for survival against an alien parasite searching for its perfect host.

Great audiobook

The story was dark and exciting. Of course there were dogs, so it was emotional. The gory parts were well written and squirm-inducing. There were parts where I was yelling at the characters, so I was definitely invested in what happened. The narration really brought it to life. Derek Austin really crushed it here and made you feel the emotions of the characters. I absolutely recommend the audio for this one.

Stunning

The story was absolutely gripping. Tense and atmospheric, this book had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. The performance by Derek Austin was impeccable and really brought the tale to life. He was able to capture the tone of the narrator perfectly.

Crazy Train

This short book was great! Emotionally hard at some points, but overall, an exciting read. I am a big fan of the The Thing and this held a lot of that same magic. Derek did a fabulous job narrating!

Noro is an excellent heroine

I highly recommend the audiobook narrated by Derek Austin. Listening to it was like watching a movie in my head. This book was reminiscent of Dreamcatcher, The Thing, and Cujo and I loved every second of it.

A blend of isolation and aliens

I feel like this was the perfect mashup of so many subgenres. Parts of it reminded me of The Thing, The Troop, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Dreamcatcher.

It’s fast paced and action packed! Highly recommended!
