Sour Candy

By: Kealan Patrick Burke

Narrated by: Andrew Gibson

At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other. They take walks in the park together, visit county fairs, museums, and zoos, and eat together overlooking the lake. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to eat candy whenever he wants and set his own bedtimes. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined.

What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life.

A new novella from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Turtle Boy and Kin.

Fantastic!

I have no idea why the rating is as low as it is. It was great! Narrator was spot on and never a dull moment. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent storytelling and perfect narration!!

Wow. This is what horror is all about! I will recommend this to everyone I know!!

Good Thriller

A really interesting short read that had me guessing at each turn. Definitely like this author’s style.

Twisted tale with great narrator !

Twisted, dark, creepy and mind bending little tale that will teach you to never take candy from a stranger ! What a wild fun ride. The narration was great and I flew through it wanting to see what craziness was going to happen next. If you’re looking for a fast, disturbing, haunted tale then look no further - this one is for YOU !

What’s real and what’s not?

Love this quick read. Keeps you guessing and questioning what is and isn’t happening. Moral: don’t eat candy?
