The New Madrid Horror

Steel Tale Series

By: Aaron Hollingsworth

Narrated by: Danny Montooth

Based on the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and true historical events, The New Madrid Horror details the dastardly deeds which triggered a massive earthquake that devastated the state of Missouri along the Mississippi River. This is a story of family-gone-wrong, a tale of piracy, murder, and cannibalism. Worst of all, it reveals the cosmic horror derived from numerology. What is the true number of that great river? What happens when that number, that name, is called out?

This story originally appeared in Folded Steel: More Tales of the Weird and Woeful.

Madrid Horror

It has a horror story enough to keep you interesting and it can be listened in one sitting because it's only 25 minutes.

Horrific

I'm unsure where to take this without revealing too much. Once again I appreciated Hollingsworth's rich vocabulary and clever wordplay as he unravels a nightmare of devastating ramifications. Having traveled this area of the country only made it that much more horrifying. This was a smart tale from an exceptional writer that shouldn't be missed.

Horror on the Mississippi River.

Audible US: Danny Montooth brought even more creepiness into this short read. A new take on the Missouri/Mississippi river earthquakes. Twins having twins! Yes, incest. Twin brothers. Robbery. Cannibalism. Horror. Pure creepy horror.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Another great short for Lovecraft fans

Things wait in the wings and shadows of our world and when they are revealed and they come in to our world to play. Things will never be the same. Numerology and history collide to create a chilling tale of terror and destruction. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
