The Accursed Huntsman

By: Douglass Hoover

Narrated by: Dylan Wheeler

Haunted by the hunting accident that took both his leg and the life of his best friend, wilderness guide Jack Steward exists on the wooded fringes of society. When an infamously foolhardy millionaire offers Jack the means to reconcile his past wrongs in exchange for participating in a remote archaeological dig along the coast of Nova Scotia, Jack straps on his worn prosthetic and ventures forth into a world of mystery, deceit, and horror.

Little does Jack know that the mismatched gang of killers, junkies, has-beens, and frauds he is about to join will uncover an artifact that will shake the very foundation of history, and maybe even grant him the ability to defeat the demons of his past. However, the expedition also unearths a horrific truth; the artifact wasn't the only thing hiding deep under the Nova Scotian cliffs.

I’m staying out of the woods for a bit

What a thrilling ride! A cross between Indiana Jones and The Mummy with some twisted and freaky monsters added in. The setting in the remote wilderness of Nova Scotia near the rocky cliffs of the ocean made this feel like home to me being from Maine. Well developed characters that really adds to the experience of the story

Great story

Very good story, good narration, very enjoyable listen. Recommend and would read more from this author.

Stepheal Crichking

I dove in because it was advertised as King meets Crichton. Pretty high bars to meet but I think the writer did a great job of finding the criteria. High quality writing. The story stays on track more than Crichton does imo. Quite a fun small scale story that does realism 7/10, fantasy 8/10, and sci-fi 9/10. The story is well-written enough that I downloaded his other stories also. I shouldn’t forget to mention that the performer does an excellent job, and fed into my desire to download more audiobooks with him in them.

What a great story

Wow! Just Wow! What a great scary and intense story. The narrator really draws you in and you can literally feel the cold and isolation. This would make a great movie. On yo the next book.

Great Plot

This is my second book by this author, and I really like his style. The characters have written history and grabs you in from the beginning.
