Publisher's summary

Hal Kapernaum brings his son to the company town of Seco, Arizona, where he hopes a new plant manager job will provide a fresh start, but the small Arizona town shares Hal’s same fear: SILENCE. The town is convinced the SILENCE is killing people. Nine have died in the last few weeks. Speakers of all models, shapes and sizes dot the roofs of the downtown buildings like nervous gargoyles. Because this fear is affecting production at the plant, Hal’s boss wants him to investigate and stop it, but soon Hal must face his biggest fear.

Really, really good book! Very much in the vein of The Screwtape Letters.

This was such a refreshingly good book to read! I heard about it online for Apple Books I think & decided to check if my Audible had it….and here we are!
If you enjoyed the Screwtape Letters, you’ll love this! It wasn’t the exact story but the same vein

The Sound & The Story - wow!

I have never enjoyed listening to a book more…
The story came alive through the sound of the author’s expressive voice…. What a talent!
Ironically appropriate given the subject matter: silence.

The story, like many of Stephen King’s works, transports us to a supernatural world that offers a message or meaning. And, with a literary nod to C.S. Lewis, the evil character crawls into the reader’s own psyche as he weaves his web within the characters’ minds. I enjoyed the author’s use of words to set the atmosphere. Creative and palpable. Great writing.

Pleasantly surprised how much I liked this

I’m definitely a fan of horror and suspense and I really enjoyed this story. Great amount of suspense and intrigue, the characters were interesting and I felt like the pace of the story was perfect. Definitely along the vein of King-esque storytelling, but definitely stands out as a great writer in his own right. Definitely recommend the read.
