Dream Woods

By: Patrick Lacey

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

When Vince Carter takes a shortcut to work, he notices a billboard that nearly sends him into an oncoming van.

The ad is for Dream Woods, New England's answer to Disney World. It closed decades ago, but now that it's back in business, Vince is eager to take his whole family, hoping the magic he remembers will save his failing marriage.

His wife, Audra, isn't so sure. She's heard the rumors of why the place closed. Murder. Sacrifice. Torture. But those are just urban legends. Surely there's nothing evil about a family tourist attraction.

The Carters are about to discover that the park's employees aren't concerned with their guests' enjoyment. They're interested in something else. Something much more sinister.

I would try!

Any additional comments?

I did receive this audiobook from Audioblast in exchange for this review. This is a unique, fun and actually at times creepy offering. It rocks along, has some good humor and some good horror, and is well worth a credit and the time to listen.
Recommended highly.

Very good horror novel

The horror novel is my favorite genre of books. I have read almost everything that Dean Koontz,John Saul, And of course the master Stephen King has ever written. If you are able to overlook a few minor inconsistencies this is a very creepy read and I found it to be very enjoyable. I was voluntarily provided this copy at no cost by the author publisher or narrator

Creepy amusement park

Dream Woods was definitely one of the creepiest books I have ever read about what should be fun an amusement park. The book is really descriptive and fast paced. The book deals with family dysfunction, fear, and learning from the past. I loved how the author broached these subjects. Dream Woods is creative and imaginative with a lot of intrigue. I was hooked and could not stop listening.
I highly recommend this book if you love twisted horror stories. I asked for and received this review audio book copy and I am leaving an honest review of my own volition.

Wild idea!

A really great idea for a novel; got my gears spinning. Good cast of characters. As usual, Joe Hempel put on a perfect performance. If you're looking for a unique bit of horror, check this one out!

This would be Disney if run by demons

Great for any theme park enthusiast. A wonderfully written macabre tale of theme parks gone horribly wrong. I loved every second of it and wished there was more to it. Great at restoring the nostalgia of childhood visits to theme parks and capturing the way life doesn't always work out as planned and the attempts to recapture that childhood feeling. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
