Murmur

By: Patrick Freivald

Narrated by: Drew Adams

Violinist Davis MacArthur bound the demon Murmur to himself to keep it from escaping into the world.

Despite being plagued by hellish visions, he's beaten back mental illness and alcoholism to become a world-renowned virtuoso, until an encounter with an alluring stranger plunges him into a twisted, sexual game of cat-and-mouse filled with madness and murder.

Desperate to save his soul, he risks damnation to protect the people he loves.

Critic reviews

"Patrick Freivald's Murmur is a fantastic read for all who love the horror genre. Great characters with growth, twists and turns - frightening, totally satisfying. Loved it!" (Heather Graham, New York Times best-selling author of the Krewe of Hunters series)

"Murmur is at once magical, disturbing, erotic, elegant, smart as hell, and utterly terrifying. Who knew demons and evil could be so sexy?" (Lisa Morton, six-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author)

"Patrick Freivald’s Murmur is a richly detailed and titillating dark fantasy about one man’s struggle against more than one kind of damnation." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Children of Red Peak)

Disturbingly gory but a thrilling ride!

This story follows an untrustworthy narrator as he navigates his addictions, and tries against his inner ‘demons’ to do good in the world. Lots of gore, and sex, and difficult subject material-if easily triggered by these things, maybe better to pass.
Drew Adams brings the imagery to life beautifully, but it’s not beautiful imagery!
