Hex

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

“This is totally, brilliantly original.”—Stephen King

“HEX is creepy and gripping and original, sure to be one of the top horror novels of 2016.”—George R.R. Martin

The English language debut of the bestselling Dutch novel, Hex, from Thomas Olde Heuvelt—a Hugo and World Fantasy award nominated talent to watch

Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay 'til death. Whoever settles, never leaves.

Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's bed for nights on end. Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.

The elders of Black Spring have virtually quarantined the town by using high-tech surveillance to prevent their curse from spreading. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break their strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into dark, medieval practices of the distant past.

This chilling audiobook heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in mainstream horror and dark fantasy.

A movie worthy book

I gave this book 5 stars all around due to not being able to stop listening to what would happen next.The "witch" creeped me out,yet intrigued me at the same time.This one is right up there with Stephen King's scary books.

Stephen King recommended this book!!!!

I enjoyed the mutihorrors in this book, the elder town people, the teens, and of course the Black Rock Witch. I laughter and at points was very scared, I recommend this to any horror fan.

This book is amazing!!

I honestly couldn’t stop listening to this book it never got boring very creepy kept me wanting more and more. Jeff Harding did a awesome job made every character believable. Definitely worth getting!

Pretty good

it started out really good and held my attention throughout the book..i just didn't really like how it ended.

Mixed Opinion.

I like this book, before I say anything else. However, around the middle, and absolutely towards the end, it reads like a particularly popular novel by a completely different author. The story has a brilliant premise, and a lot of slow building tension, but it doesn't particularly feel like it goes anywhere. To a point this book builds on suspense, but the payout isn't as big as what we're promised to that point. There's a twist, but it's not hard to see coming. Overall a good book, and an interesting read (perhaps the original ending is better than the English one?).
