Gateways to Abomination

By: Matthew M. Bartlett

Narrated by: Jon Padgett

Bizarre radio broadcasts luring dissolute souls into the dark woods of Western Massachusetts. Sinister old men in topcoats gathered at corners and in playgrounds. A long-dead sorcerer returning to obscene life in the form of an old buck goat.

Welcome to Leeds, Massachusetts, where the drowned walk, where winged leeches blast angry static, where black magic casts a shadow over a cringing populace. You've tuned in to WXXT. The fracture in the stanchion. The drop of blood in your morning milk. The viper in the veins of the Pioneer Valley.

Crazy creative book

Loved the names of all the strange characters of WXXT but will have to read it again. Feels like this is abstract writing and it was super cool but it didn’t have much of a point i don’t think. Again, one more reading. Jon Padgett is one of the best readers I’ve ever heard! Definitely gonna find more books he’s narrated and listen. The dude is a pro!

Wild Ride

Fantastic story. I still have no idea what I listened to, but I loved every minute of it.

Interesting

An interesting anthologies of the dark and twisted side of human thoughts and actions. You will not get bored as you listen to all the dark ways many think and are capable of.

A Match Made in Leeds

Jon Padgett breathes new and grotesque life into Bartlett's modern classic collection/mosaic novel of whimsical nightmares. You will NOT be disappointed.

Well I’ll tell you this much...

...a whole day later and I’m still thinking about it, even if I haven’t decided what I think yet. That’s worth the $10.
