Slimer

By: Harry Adam Knight, John Brosnan, Leroy Kettle

Narrated by: Hannibal Hills

When a yacht being used to smuggle drugs sinks, the six smugglers must seek refuge the only place they can - an abandoned oil rig in the middle of the sea.

But there's something strange about this oil rig. For one thing, it looks more like a scientific research facility. And for another, there are no people - only piles of clothes with no bodies in them.

It soon becomes clear that something is loose on the rig. Something deadly. It's stalking them, one by one, but it's not just a horrible death they have to fear - it's what comes after....

The basis for the cult film Proteus, Harry Adam Knight's first novel, Slimer (1983), is a wild thrill ride that mixes creature feature horror, fast-paced action, and a dose of black humor.

Old School Horror

This put me in mind of the horror I grew up with, The Thing, The Fog, The Shining, etc. It was slow at first, but when the action picked up, there were enough creepy twists to keep any classic horror fan riveted. Even the ending was both satisfying and as leading as I hoped.

The narration was excellent, clear and easy to understand at all times.

The Thing...

On an oil rig! Seriously, it's pretty much the same concept. Like... exactly. But that didn't stop me from loving every single second of 'Slimer!' If you enjoy an action/adventure/body horror then this is right up your ally. I would listen to Hannibal Hills narrate the encyclopedia so... yeah this is pretty much a winner of a book. I'd recommend it to anyone at all who enjoys horror content!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

great story

I really enjoyed the time the author took introducing the characters. I had tons of fun listening to this story. The narration as well as the writing was top notch. I'll definitely be looking for more from both the author and narrator. Beware abandoned* oil rigs. I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Old School Horror Fun

Really enjoyable old school horror listen about people (a good mix that'd make sense in a movie as well as a book from semi-innocent to psychopathic) who are rescued from the proverbial frying pan by jumping into the fire. Only in this case the frying pan is a lifeboat/dingy and the fire is an abandoned? oil platform in the freezing north sea. There they'll fight for their lives against an unusual and interesting 'antagonist' for a horror novel. It's claustrophobic and the setting is dreary but it's also frenetic and fun with it's share of kills and black humor.

The narrator was a great match for this style of story and brought it to life in a great way.

I received the review code for this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

80's Horror

Pretty good story line. Authentic characters. Gripping and entertaining through out.
Left slightly open as all horrors of that time.
There is something good when you look back to TV,or Books of a past era. And this a good example of 80's horror
