Golem

By: PD Alleva

Narrated by: Michelle Kato Sobeski

Detective. Angel. Victim. Devil.

A haunting tale of suspense, loss, isolation, contempt, and fear.

On November 1, 1951, war hero John Ashton was promoted to detective. His first assignment: find the district attorney’s missing daughter. But his only lead is Alena Francon, a high society sculptor and socialite committed to Bellevue’s psychiatric facility.

Alena has a story for the new detective. A story so outlandish John Ashton refuses to heed the warning. Alena admits to incarnating Golem, a demonic force, into her statue. A devil so profound he’s infiltrated every part of New York’s infrastructure. Even worse, he uses children to serve as bodily hosts for his demonic army, unleashing a horde of devils into our world.

When Alena’s confidant, Annette Flemming, confirms the existence of Golem, John is sent on a collision course where fate and destiny spiral into peril, and the future of the human race hangs in the balance.

The Devil Is In The Details!

Fans of The Silence of the Lambs, Clive Barker, John Connolly, Stephen King, and Anne Rice will be fascinated by this edge of your seat psychological horror novel with a story that rips out the heart of humanity and throws it on a slab to be feasted on.

Critic reviews

“Haunting, dark, and creepy—Golem is by far one of the best books I've read in years.” ~ BookeryBliss Reviews

great story poor narration

a mix of the audible guilty and poor depiction of the voice and ways certain characters talk made it a hard listen. like golem a "man" that has all women looking at him and fawning over is every word. make him sound lurch from the adam family. message to the author, if you could choose who performs your book never choose this "performer" again. other then that great story and well written.

Awesome narrative

I thought this was great! The legend of golem and how he came to be was amazing. I loved the character of Alena. I could almost feel her pain it was so well written. The narrator was for sure one of the best I’ve heard. She got voices and creepy tones down. I loved also in certain parts you can hear Chanting in the background. Can’t wait to read more of his work!

great listen!

PD Alleva did wonders with this book! I love his take on the creation of a golem. Michelle was a perfect choice for the narrator.

Starts off slow but such a finish

It took me longer than I expected to get going, but the story is solid and the characters make sense. I enjoyed the narrator but her voice was a little too soothing. This turned out to be such a great story!

A Great Read

I really like how this story was fast pace and the transactions were smooth. There are a lot of twist and turns.

This is my second read and I am looking to read more
