Forest

The Afterlife Investigations, Book 2

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

"You should not have answered its call...."

Professor Stephen Barlow is no longer a skeptic. Having faced the horrors of Chaythe Asylum, he turns his attention to the man responsible for the Third Ward Incident - the enigmatic Dr. Corvine - in the hopes of finding answers to his many questions.

But some things, he soon learns, are better left lost to history.

Traveling to a remote cabin in Michigan in search of the doctor and his research, Stephen finds himself descending deeper into a world of terror and madness. He and his students uncover the frightful truth about Corvine's experiments and realize that they may have unleashed something terrible in their meddling.

Forest is the second novel in the Afterlife Investigations trilogy.

The investigation continues.

Forest is the second volume in The Afterlife Investigation series by Ambrose Ibsen, picking up where the excellent Asylum left off. Having survived the events at the asylum, Stephen just couldn't leave well enough alone. Whatever they encountered at the asylum is now out and free and Stephen feels compelled to look further into the incident. And his investigation leads down quite the rabbit hole. I enjoyed the story quite a bit, though perhaps not as much as the first volume, mainly because of how the book ends, leaving you right after a major incident. (No spoilers) So while it does really leave you wanting to know what happens next, it just didn't feel like as a complete of a story arc as the first. (Does that make sense?) 

Joe Hempel continues the excellent narration he began in the first volume, bringing this creepy tale to life.

Great story

This is a really good story, but this book ended in what I would consider the middle of a scene. I hate it when books do that.

Awesome series!

Book 2 in a creepy series. Starting book 3 immediately. Can hardly wait to see how it ends.

Great Sequel-more investigations this time around

Forest: The Afterlife Investigations, Book 2 by Ambrose Ibsen is a great sequel to the first book. Some listeners may be disappointed that there is a little less paranormal in this volume of the story and more investigation into the past. I personally enjoyed that part of the story digging into the past and the horrible experiments by Dr. Corvine's that freed the occupant and what drove him to do these experiments. This is a great sequel and I can't wait for the next part of the story. I highly recommend this audiobook.

The narration is done by Mr. Joe Hempel. Mr. Hempel's work on these stories from Ambrose Ibsen is always a winning combination. Joe provides the prefect voice's for these characters and emotes the fear and trepidation that they experience during this story. He is just an amazing narrator.

Loved it!

This series grabbed my attention from the start, actuallt the narrator/author combination grabbed my attention from the start. In this series there's this rather pathetic college adjunct professor who's unfullfilled in life until he gets involved with a paranormal group on campus. His life changes drastically.

Some new characters are added and a secret about an original character is revealed. It's a good one too and has me edging for the next book. He's seeking and exploring this strange being encountered in the first book and more is revealed along with its possible motive and the crazy doctors motive. The characters are full and interesting. The story is intense and suspenseful. The plot continues to thicken and draw me in.

Excellent!
