Unabridged Audiobook
I absolutely loved The Devil Aspect. It was genuinely creepy (if a little predictable), moody, gory at times and a fascinating story about serial killers, mental illness and slavic folklore all set in a gothic castle turned insane asylum set against the looming shadow of the Nazi takeover in Europe. What's not to love? Then we got Hyde, a really cool spin on the traditional Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story. Again, a very creepy book with occult ties with some cool detective work. Both books were historical horror, and both books had great narrators. Now we get this horrible piece of literature. It's an absolute bore fest that nearly put me to sleep so many times. The narrator is terribly annoying, and there is nothing historically interesting or creepy about this book. I won't spoil it for people, but just know that if you're a fan of Russell's other books then there is a high chance you won't like this. It has none of what made those two books interesting and creepy. This doesn't even feel like it was written by the same person that could have put out his other two fantastic reads.
