Punch

By: J R Park

Narrated by: James Deverell

It's carnival night in the seaside town of Stanswick Sands and tonight blood will stain the beach red.

Punch and Judy man, Martin Powell, returns after 10 years with a dark secret. As his past is revealed Martin must face the anger of the hostile townsfolk, pushing him to the very edge of sanity.

Humiliated and stripped of everything he holds dear, Martin embarks on a campaign of murderous revenge, seeking to settle scores both old and new. The police force of this once sleepy town can't react quick enough as they watch the body count grow at the hands of a costumed killer.

Can they do enough to halt the malicious mayhem of the twisted Punch?

Smack the baby

Love the Narration of Mr. Sinister aka James Deverell! Not my cup of tea, but I was bound by its grip!

hooboy that ending

I was about to be pissed with how it ended, but was pleasantly surprised! that's a bit morbid but I'm a sucker for both revenge gone right and Mr Deverell's voice!

Riveting, a conquest of literature and narration.

Listening to the narrator, James Deverell, speaking is like hearing for the first time.

His accent and enunciation capture the ear and embolden the minds eye to truly envision the story being unfolded before you.

I highly recommend downloading and treating yourself and your senses to a fantastical story.

-DR

Highly enjoyable story and narration

I enjoyed the story quite a bit (though I’m not usually a fan or horror stories). There were times where it seemed that the author refused to use any fewer than four adjectives for each noun in the story, but it never became cumbersome. It was just highly detailed. I think this was what helped me enjoy the story more than I usually do, because I was better able to visualize the world of Punch.

As for the narration, I really liked the performance. The pacing was perfect for the highly detailed story. I have moments when listening to audiobooks that I feel like some of the descriptions turn into a jumbled mess that I can’t follow. I’m assuming it’s because I’m always driving when I listen to them, and I’m not paying 100% attention. This was paced well enough that I didn’t really have that issue.

Overall, this is an excellent audiobook.

Great Narration

The book did a great job developing the character and keeping the suspense.

James did a wonderful job narrating. A lot of the suspense was from his vocal inflections, and he kept me wanting to listen more. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and I hope to hear more from the narrator soon.
