In 1691 the town of Crossfall taught the witch Thessaly how to die. They beat her, they shot her, they hung her - but nothing worked. When they finally tried to bury her alive Thessaly set the field against them. The first man died as a gust of wind harrowed the meat from his bones. A root, flung like a dirty javelin, cut a second man down. Many more deaths followed. The Preacher Fell impaled the witch upon her very own broom, but she dragged him down into the field to wait for three more centuries.
Three hundred years later, Maddy Harker will murder her bullying husband, Vic. She will bury him in the field as she buried her abusive father years before that. The very same field where the revenant spirit of Thessaly Cross lies waiting.
In three days Vic will rise again - a thing of dirt, bone, and hatred.
Men will call him the Tatterdemon.
And hell - and Thessaly - will follow.
This is the first volume of a big fat three-part novel.

I tried this book twice now thinking maybe i'd given up too early and not given it a chance but nope I really hadn't.
The witch in the first scene "Maybe it's up your bunghole" just seemed totally out of place, there's a lot of swearing and the descriptions sometimes..."like he was possessed by the spirit of an everyday bunny of destruction"...or..."Shoot the pussy out of a pregnant flea". What?
The story is mostly concerned with really unlikable characters, I couldn't really care what happened to them honestly.
The narrator tries his best but talks in a general monotone he tries to put emotion and do voices but they don't always come across that well. He does sometimes read incorrectly too, he mispronunciation of witches name in chapter 2 and i'm sure there were other bits I didn't note down. How much was him or the original text I don't know.
Lastly be thankful Audible remembers where you are because the chapters in the book don't match up to the chapters in the app so no idea whats going on there.
The blurb sounds ok but the actual book and narration just didn't do anything for me I'm afraid.
I tried it twice but just no...
