Mister Lullaby

By: J. H. Markert

Narrated by: David Bendena, Lauren Ezzo

The small town of Harrod’s Reach has seen its fair share of the macabre, especially inside the decrepit old train tunnel around which the town was built. After a young boy, Sully Dupree, is injured in the abandoned tunnel and left in a coma, the townspeople are determined to wall it up. Deputy sheriff Beth Gardner is reluctant to buy into the superstitions until she finds two corpses at the tunnel’s entrance, each left with strange calling cards inscribed with old lullabies. Soon after, Sully Dupree briefly awakens from his coma.

Before falling back into his slumber, Sully manages to give his older brother a message. Sully's mind, since the accident, has been imprisoned on the other side of the tunnel in Lalaland, a grotesque and unfamiliar world inhabited by evil mythical creatures of sleep. Sully is trapped there with hundreds of other coma patients, all desperately fighting to keep the evils of the dream world from escaping into the waking world.

Elsewhere, a man troubled by his painful youth has for years been hearing a voice in his head he calls Mr. Lullaby, and he has finally started to act on what that voice is telling him—to kill any coma patient he can find, quickly. Something is waking up in the tunnel—something is trying to get through. And Mr. Lullaby is coming.

Fast moving plot

I like how the author doesn't become mired in the details, his style of writing horror books is refreshing. This is a great story!

Good Read

I hated the ending ... it definitely left me wanting more. there should be a part 2.

so creative

I loved this book!! I loved the Nightmare Man too. The authors imagination is beyond creative. He really knows how to bring you into his world.

Awesome overall

Story was awesome. Characters well developed. Great performance on narration. Looking forward to reading authors other books.

Build up to nothing

I can’t emphasize enough how much I hated this book. It builds for a long time and the conclusion is such a let down. Avoid
