Story
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Story
An ordinary family man, geologist, and Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he'll be reunited with his loved ones after death in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life. In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity.

Story
Failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife, Eudora, have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate - the Savoyard Plantation - and the horrors that occurred there. At first, the quaint, rural ways of their new neighbors seem to be everything they wanted. But there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice.

Story
Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans - though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the "Transition". Now, eating human meat - "special meat" - is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.

Story
Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Publisher's Summary
And Lucifer said, “Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down…”
The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm - that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.
Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.
As Hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels, demons, saints, and the risen dead - and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.
Christopher Buehlman is a writer and performer from St. Petersburg, Florida. The winner of the 2007 Bridport Prize for poetry, he is also the author of several plays and the acclaimed horror novel Those Across the River. He lives with his wife and his rescued dog, Duck.

Killer reader, harrowing story
Between Two Fires did a great job of ingraining the listener/reader in its seemingly hopeless world. There were great characters throughout and I found myself desperately hoping they could persevere.
The narration was excellent. Not overly complicated, but consistently earnest and well delivered.
The story is equal parts devastating, depressing, horrific, hopeful, and amazing. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for more well-crafted dread in their lives.

Shockingly entertaining and bewildering
What is this book?? I want to meet the author. It’s Greek Mythology meets Dante’s Inferno. The performance is amazing. I was captivated by the story until the final chapters. They became quite surreal.

relentlessly dark
but a worthwhile emotional endeavor. reads fast, has more than a handful of surprisingly genuine laughs considering the subject matter. just deserves to be read.

Came for the horror, stayed for the characters and world
Very dark, graphic, and downright creepy at times, but full of heart and beautiful writing. Can’t wait to check out this author’s other works. Fans of Dan Simmons and George RR Martin, listen to this!

Almost couldn't stop
I could have listened all day 14hrs straight, but my headphones were giving me pain. This is so entertaining with horror, humour, and humanity that I almost forgot that I was working. It's tied to actual events in history and it's riddled with symbolism that will have you muttering 'clever' to yourself several times, Why hasn't Christopher kept creating masterpieces like this? More Christopher more!
The Narrator was great as well, I searched for other titles he's narrated because of the great performance.

Suffering and Salvation
Buehlman draws from real life history to craft a dark thought provoking tale of both mundane and supernatural horror. What hope can there be in a world abandoned by God? One that the devil and all his ilk have mad their play thing? In the face of such a nightmare do we abandon all virtue all righteous and lastly all Hope? What do such things serve us before the Powers of Hell?
The Book tackles these questions in a subtly powerful way displaying the most horrific of circumstances navigated by Broken individuals pushed to the limits of their faith strength and reason.
A must read for any fans of historical fiction/Fantasy and Horror.

A genre splicer that works.
Medieval horror/fantasy set in France during the black plague. If you’re not sold already I’m not sure what to tell you. Its is also beautifully written, darkly comedic, epic in scope. Its also feels a little like Bloodborne/Dark Souls. Loved it

Beautiful story
Truly a really beautiful story with interesting characters and a good arc. Highly recommended if you’re interested in a journey type story with a good mix of fantastic and real situations. Definitely not horror (as I’ve seen it described), but an overall incredible book from an author that’s quickly becoming one of my favourites!

Loved this from start to finish, like a medieval tapestry turned into a horror/adventure story.
