Loam

Disorder collection

By: Scott Heim

Narrated by: Jeff Cummings

When three siblings return to their hometown for their estranged father’s funeral, burying the ghosts of the past proves to be impossible in this chilling story by the author of Mysterious Skin.

Forty years ago, triplets Miriam, Louise, and Edward were swept up in a case of rural mass hysteria. Coerced into fabricating unspeakable lies about their first-grade teacher and her adult son, they were complicit in destroying two lives. Ever since, they have believed they are being followed by a presence still seeking retribution for their childhood sins. Unless their guilty consciences are conjuring as many monsters as their innocent minds once did.

Loam is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

Intriging

It was a little creepy and I wish It had went into more detail. It was a great Story though. I enjoyed it.

A creepy, short read.

A creepy, short read. I read this right before going to bed and I know I’m going to regret it.

More!

This needs to be a book! I was hooked from the start. All the elements of good a mystery, spooky supernatural, conspiracy and “someone done wrong”..or were they? So many directions this story could go. Liked the characters already, I want to go on their journey of scary discovery. Perfect narration. Darn it, I want more!

Wow…this one got me

I’m not sure what made this so creepy…there were so many subtle moving parts: the triplets in mourning…kinda, the car trip, the stop at the antique shot and the find there, the teacher and her son, the witch-hunt, the funeral….maybe the truth that was there or not there. This is the kind of dark creepy that I love…very well told.

Loam

A compelling,disturbingly spooky take well written from the points of view of triplets, who at age 6 are coerced and manipulated by their parents as well as law enforcement to tell horrific lies about their childhood.
