Publisher's Summary
A darkly comedic thriller by the New York Times best-selling author of Underground Airlines, The Last Policeman, and the Audible Originals Q&A and Inside Jobs.
Jack Diller is just one more struggling actor on the road to nowhere. He’s got an agent who barely remembers his name, his ex-girlfriend has hooked up with a Silicon Valley dude, and the milk in his fridge is so far past its sell-by date it’s historic. The only way Jack can scrape together a bare existence is by delivering food to exactly the types of successful people he wishes he could be.
Then, one day, a very strange audiobook shows up on his phone. The Killer Instinct seems to be your basic self-help guide, narrated by a washed-up action star named Hector Bruno, and brimming with cheesy advice for how to get your life together.
With so little to lose, Jack starts listening...and listening some more. He starts talking to Hector like he’s his best friend.
And then...Hector starts talking back.

A haunting tale
In the spirit of the Twilight Zone, with a believable main character. Ironic. Funny. Sad. A good listen with a great voice.

Lots of fun!
Great story, superbly performed. I always love Wil Wheaton's narration of any book, and Ron Perlman inhabited his role completely. Just a lot of fun to listen to, with a very satisfying ending.

A little “Twilight Zone”, a little “Dirk Gently”
I’ll be honest, I listened to this because I love Ron Perlman’s voice. So it was apt that his voice was the catalyst for the story; the protagonist was really secondary. Wil Wheaton did a fine job, the pacing of the story was great, and the conclusion quite satisfying.
5/5 for a dark comedy.
