About this audiobook
Three stories of unspeakable evil make up The Dead Man Volume 1, an action adventure collection full of dark humor, surprising twists, and supernatural terror:
Matthew Cahill, dead and buried in an avalanche, wakes up in a morgue three months later in Face of Evil. But now he sees things no one else can and when his friend goes on a killing spree, he realizes the evil Mr. Dark has a plan for him.
In search of Mr. Dark, Matt finds himself in Heaven, Washington, a tiny hamlet in the Cascade Mountains embroiled in a four-family blood feud in Hell in Heaven. Only Matt can stop the bloodshed, but even he is going to have a hard time figuring out why Mr. Dark brought him here.
Matt believes a madman may hold the key to defeating Mr. Dark and his rotting touch. To find him, Matt must infiltrate a lunatic asylum in Ring of Knives—and his only chance of escaping alive is to face the unspeakable terror deep in the asylum’s woods.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Yeah, this story had promise but the writer clearly doesn't like people very much. I wanted to like it but even his protagonist was written weirdly unlikeable! It feels like this writer has never been in contact with real people for any long periods of time and his character development shows it. I CERTAINLY don't think he's been around any actual black people in real life before. Were his inspirations Sheneneh from Martin and Tyler Perry's Madea? Even the most "ghetto" of us don't say "You sho is!" Or "getcho white ass away from me, crackah!"
My favorite was "you white butchu right!"
Lol what the fuuuuuuu ?. And listening to the voice actor use some weird idea of what he thinks black women sound like... I just... Jesus take the wheel. ?
And DON'T even get me started on this writer's transphobia. It's really goddamn gross.
The story idea was just ok. The way he writes people is just... no. full stop. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story... I gave it a 4 instead of 5 based on my personal preference. Some of it got a little too gory. Gross!!! Tumors/growth= extra yuck for me ?
