The Fear Institute

The Johannes Cabal Novels, Book 3

By: Jonathan L. Howard

Narrated by: Nicholas Guy Smith

The third novel in the acclaimed cult-favorite series starring necromancer Johannes Cabal.

Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back once more. This time, his talents are purchased by the Fear Institute as they hunt for the phobic animus - the embodiment of fear. The three institute members, led by Cabal and his silver key, enter the Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that feed on human flesh, and phobias that torment and devastate. The intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic, finds himself alone with the institute's only remaining survivor, and after a shockingly violent experiment, begins to suspect that not everything is quite as it seems.

Ignore the Chimps

Seriously, there are some really stupid people in this world. Just read any of the bad reviews for his book if you need proof.

The perfect voice for Cabal

I loved this series when I read the first two. This guy has the perfect voice for Johannes, and captures the essence of the book brilliantly.

exceptional

more fun twists in this story.. sets a mind to thinking. and who doesn't love that

Good

I really liked the story, but the pacing of the narration was a bit too fast.

I've enjoyed all the books in the series thus far.

I loved it really, it pulls me in everytime this is now my favorite series I've listened to and I know I'll go back and listen again.
