“This is my first audio book actually my first read of 2022 lol , i wanted a short thing just to see if i would like listening . Ok , i wrote this blog post as i was listening to the audio book on youtube .. now at first i was disappointed with his tone , it sounded like he really never wanted to read it ..like i cant be assed type of tone , you know what i mean ..but i dont know this guy , so i cant judge this by first impressions . But the more i listened The story was ok .. but i never found it to be a horror at all . but i suppose it depends on if you get scared easy or dont like horror altogether the tone of his voice changed as the story progressed and i felt it was bit better .. Was goodish story and was read ok by Otis Jiry, Its basically about 4 people exploring a haunted house in the dark . Where they experience spirits and ghosts in the hall ways and old rooms , and they slowly fall asleep one by one , but they cant wake them , even when they try , but its no good . then another falls asleep . Its all happening in the dark lit by candle light . you may think its scary but i never thought it was at all . overall not to bad , short , but not scary i give it 2**”
