About this listen
“This is totally, brilliantly original.”—Stephen King
“HEX is creepy and gripping and original, sure to be one of the top horror novels of 2016.”—George R.R. Martin
The English language debut of the bestselling Dutch novel, Hex, from Thomas Olde Heuvelt—a Hugo and World Fantasy award nominated talent to watch
Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay 'til death. Whoever settles, never leaves.
Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's bed for nights on end. Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.
The elders of Black Spring have virtually quarantined the town by using high-tech surveillance to prevent their curse from spreading. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break their strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into dark, medieval practices of the distant past.
This chilling audiobook heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in mainstream horror and dark fantasy.

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.

Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. But there are rules: He cannot look inside the box. He cannot ask questions. He cannot tell anyone. They must leave immediately. He must leave all trackable devices behind. As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war.

A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?” When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

When Margaret and her husband Hal bought the large Victorian house on Hawthorn Street—for sale at a surprisingly reasonable price—they couldn’t believe they finally had a home of their own. Then they discovered the hauntings. Every September, the walls drip blood. The ghosts of former inhabitants appear, and all of them are terrified of something that lurks in the basement. Most people would flee. Margaret is not most people. Margaret is staying.

Travel journalist and mountaineer Nick Grevers awakes from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. Nick’s own injuries are as extensive as they are horrifying. His face wrapped in bandages and unable to speak, Nick claims amnesia - but he remembers everything. He remembers how he and Augustin were mysteriously drawn to the Maudit, a remote and scarcely documented peak in the Swiss Alps. He remembers how the slopes of Maudit were eerily quiet, and how, when they entered its valley, they got the ominous sense that they were not alone.

Good Story, Poor Narrator
I enjoyed the story but the narrator was brutal to listen to. Nearly quit a few times due to that.

The unholy lovechild of "Cabin in the Woods, "Pet Semetary," and your favorite witch story. Loved it start to finish.

ending was..?
was an ok book interesting characters, plot and over all story but it could of been darker or Scarier since I didn't find it scary at all but overall entertaining, one issue was the narrator would ... well it sounded like he was swallowing saliva over some parts and was extremely destracting and took me right out of the story, and he would do it all the time!!

Definitely wasn’t quite was I expected
Enjoyed it, though it wasn’t what I expected. Super unnerving story but if you’re looking for a spooky supernatural witch story this isn’t quite that.

Spooky, but uneven
The first half of this book seems like a comedy. It's so ridiculous, it's hard to imagine how creepy it will become. But sure enough, it does become creepy. There's a bit of "torture porn" but in the end, the horror is definitely grounded in human choices. Like if 1980s Stephen King wrote an episode of the X-Files.
If sexualized violence bothers you, or harm to kids or pets, maybe take a pass.

dark story for the dark days ahead
story about paranoia misogyny and hysteria in the face of accepting responsibility for past and present generational sins. w a nice helping of surveillance state trappings and what modern day responses to the truly unexplainable might look like.
the narrator's voice is among my favorites...like a combo of richard jenkins and william burroughs

Great Story, Great Ending. Move over S. King
Well crafted story with believable characters and motivations. Not so much a horror as a character drama/suspense. Very satisfying ending supported by interesting beginning and middle sections as well.

Should we fear the witch or our neighbors?
A unique reimagining of the persecution of women/witches, the town and people who perpetuate their suffering, and the harsh reality that humans are scarier than any supernatural being or force could evet be. Definitely worth reading/listening to. The modern setting makes it all the more unsettling, you find yourself believing that the people, the town, and the witch could all really exist somewhere out there in a small town like Black Rock.
