American Cannibal

By: Maenad Press

Narrated by: Mark Johannes

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to (rep)eat it.

A mother and daughter negotiate the Oregon Trail with grisly results; an elementary teacher watches the carnage of the Challenger explosion spill over into her own classroom. A possible prospector traveling west is drawn to an isolated inn where no one walks away hungry; a 1950s housewife shares the gruesome repertoire of behavior expected of a proper lady. Prohibition and women’s suffrage, the Civil War and the Vietnam War, the JFK assassination conspiracy and the Y2K hysteria: The annals of American history are reimagined with a side order of cannibalism by 20 of the biggest names writing horror fiction today.

Forget what you learned in the textbooks.

Everything you were taught about the Land of Liberty is about to be history.

Hit n miss

There were few decent stories and some that I felt were just boring. Never thought a cannibal story could be boring but I was wrong lol. I’d say maybe 50/50 were good and bad. If you buy it on sale then it is worth it but a waste of a credit

Likely the best performance on Audible

Mark Johannes is a veteran actor, and it shows in his delivery. Despite sharing a commons theme, each story in American Cannibal is vastly different from the others in voice, tone, sub-genre, and setting, and Mark takes those distinctions and runs with them, changing his accent, volume, and speed to align with the plot and characters. As a result, the writing in this horror anthology is A+ and so is the narration. If you are a horror fan, history buff, or both, don’t hesitate to grab it!
