THE STEPHEN KING KILLER

A serial killer with a taste for horror

By: Aaron R. Tyler

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In his authorial debut Aaron R. Tyler produced this edge of your seat crime thriller that you can't put down. There is a serial killer terrorizing the largely rural twin tiers region of Pennsylvania and upstate New York. He enjoys conversation and torture, and leaves behind a calling card. Each of his victims are marked with the letters CR. He is always one step ahead of the police as he kills those who have names from characters in Stephen King novels. When the FBI gets involved, he now has to outsmart the elite team of agents hand picked for the task force trying to track him down. The question is, can they stop him before he makes another brutal and gruesome murder?

Great Story!

Great Story! No HATE the killer and his arrogant, self righteous, narcissist ways but then that’s what makes a good writer and a good character when you forget they’re not real and hate or love them as though they are real. The AI narrative was the only negative thing I can say. I miss a person and the feeling, compassion and mood of their reading. The AI is just not the same, I don’t care for them at all. Keep the AI where it belongs in the computer. But the story and novel is great! A very good read/listen!!

Did not care for the AI reader

AI reader lacked many things to make this mystery novel a lot better. Such as inflection, change in cadence, among other things. I can read books! Hire me!!!

Stephen King Fans are gonna LOVE this!!

I found this gem and I absolutely loved every minute. Hopefully there is, or will be, a Part 2!

I HATE VIRTUAL VOICE

As a Stephen King fan, I appreciated the story. However, the Virtual Voice made it somewhat difficult to understand. A human performer would understand the title and name "S.A.I.C. Tessler" and would not pause after the period as though Tessler started a sentence. Also, the Virtual Voice does not know which pronunciation to use for a word such as "live", which would be understood by a human based on context.

I'm sure it's cheaper than an actor, but you get what you pay for!!!!

An enjoyable easy read for those who like thrillers!

I was looking for a fun, easy read and this filled the need. It was exciting to listen to the detectives piece together the case and there were some unexpected moments as everything unraveled.

The AI narration was better than I expected, but the program had trouble pronouncing some words (I had to stop and Google titles for FBI agents, and realized that the AI was pronouncing SAC Tessler as Sayek Tessler. It took me out of the story until I figured out what it was trying to say).

Overall if you are a fan of crime novels, Stephen King, and whodunnit stories, you will enjoy this!

Virtual Voice

Overall story was excellent. Ending was left a little disappointing. The virtual voice had MANY glitches as if was not able to distinguish between calling Teslar Special Agent In Charge vs. SAIC. Most of the time this character was referenced there was a garbled word I could not dicifer. Calling a 40 or 357 caliber pistol a .40 or .357 was a bit odd as well. Little fluctuation in voice. Needed some other character voices as well

Cool concept

This was a really cool concept for a book. I loved the story. I love how it all ties back to Stephen Kings characters. I HATED the AI narration. It has little emotion and has wrong pauses in parts so the sentence doesn’t make sense. Hopefully Audible does not make AI narration a new normal.

The story left me completely unsatisfied,

At times, the story was extremely interesting, but ultimately it was not worth being related to Stephen King in any way, shape or form, and on top of that the AI Reading of the text was completely unsatisfying. No inflection no  emotion completely generic

Great Story

the plot was intriguing, love the Stephen King motivation. The VR reading had some hiccups

The virtual voice

I didn’t like the virtual voice it kept screwing up on the SAIC Tessler name
