The Hole

By: William Meikle

Narrated by: David A. Wood

It starts with an odd hum that brings headaches and nosebleeds to the inhabitants of a remote, sleepy country town. Then a sinkhole begins to form...and out from that hole comes the townspeople's worst nightmares.

Facing their fears and the growing madness, a group of survivors descend into the collapsed area in an attempt to save what is left of their town. Sacrifices will be required, but will they be enough?

The hole is growing...spreading...and the horror within it is growing stronger....

it's ok

This audible was just ok for me. thought it was going a different route but it didn't. Those things saying Fred is dead got really ignoring after a while. I didn't care for the ending. Wanted the two who sacrificed themselves to have a better ending. Moving on to find another audible.

Scary and Hilarious

I can't even say how much I enjoyed this book. When I finished this story I actually grieved for the characters because I knew how much I'd miss them, I almost just started it over again! Meikle creates a world so complete with characters so fully fleshed out that I felt like I personally knew them. I fell in love with many of them and I'm hoping beyond hope that there is a sequel to 'The Hole.'

This story begins real-world-scary in that towns folk are besieged by giant holes forming in the ground that are swallowing up houses, cars and people at random. Big Man Sherif teams up with the town doctor to try and keep his townspeople safe. Along with a couple drunks and a rude old lady, these characters fight to the ends of the Earth to stay alive. I can't say more for fear of spoilers, but I can say that I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror and adventure. David A. Wood gives an absolutely phenomenal performance in this book.

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

Pretty Good Story

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first story I have heard/read from William Meikle, and I enjoyed it. The story is good, though I didn’t love the characters. They are crafted well, they just didn’t resonate with me.
The story has something of a “Tremors” vibe, with there being a subterranean mystery. The main characters too remind me of the leads in that movie, as does the setting. There are some other similarities, though for the conflict Meikle turns to the occult rather than graboids.
David A. Wood does a good job of narrating. The character voices are distinct enough and his diction is crisp.

Should have been a short story

Early on you could tell where this was going. Rehash of an old story. Wait until you get to the chant. If that had happened sooner, I would have quit listening then. Oh, yeah, another shallow ending.
