Summary
Monsters lurk in dark places where shadows grow long. Evil prowls in quiet spaces where no one can hear your screams.
A late autumn hunt brings brothers Radu and Pavel face-to-face with an ancient evil. With no one to help them and nowhere to run, the brothers find that the prey they've been stalking is really a predator. And, they're the ones being hunted...
Fans of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice will love this terrifying novella about dark endings and terrible beginnings.

It is strangely moving and poignant and I really enjoyed it.
It follows the life of the youth Radu, a simple village boy, who out hunting with his brother is attacked by a vampire. His brother is killed, but he awakes the next morning seemingly unharmed. He returns to his village, but the villages see a change in him and want to kill him. His mother warns him and sends him away, which is when he finally realises that he has been turned.
From now on the reader follows his struggle coming to terms with his changes and powers gained and his way of dealing with this new life.
Unlike other vampire novels the story doesn’t focus on the terror and menace vampire Radu unleashes, but on the learning process he undergoes and his struggles with his new form and finally as the years pass his loneliness and desire to go home to see his mother.
I have one small critic, which is: where has the vampire who sired him has gone and why Radu didn’t set out to find him, either to revenge his brother and his fate or to learn how to live in this un-dead form.
The narrator Johsua Quillin is great, he is very clear and concise and reads at a relaxed, but not too slow pace. Johsua has a pleasant, calm voice and a nice neutral English accent.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review of my own opinion of it.
An overall fabulous listening experience.

Narration 8/10
The narration is good, except for the fact that the narrator speaks really slow. It can get annoying at some fast paced parts of the book. Fortunately the issue is easily solved by speeding up the narration speed via the app (a x1.2 speed will bring it to about a normal reading pace)
Story 7.5/10
It was a fun short story which I read after I was done with a big novel to take a break before my next lengthy book and I listened to it in one go. The story starts with the hero being attacked by a vampire while he's out hunting with his brother and goes on from there (I won't mention anything else because the story is so short I'd end up spoiling everything that happens). It's fun to read and keeps your interest for as long as it lasts.
Overall it was a fun read, would suggest for YA ages and above as a swift one go listen.
