First of all, the narrator is wonderful.

Now, to the book - very weird. It seems to be a whole bunch of anecdotes from people who have witnessed weird stuff. If there was some logic to how they were grouped, it wasn’t apparent.

The book appears to be claiming to be non-fiction. To be fair, although some of the stories were far fetched, to say the least, they were quite terrifying as a work of pure fiction. I’m struggling to take this book seriously, but I did enjoy it.

What have I just read?

I very much enjoyed this audio book and the style of Keek's writing. The film of the film version only really scratches the surface of does not reflect the weird things that were happening in the run up to the collapse of the bridge at Pount Pleasant. The narration is very good by Craig Wasson and I will look out for other titles where he is the narrator.

Keel describes events and characters that come alive in this presentation and the story caputered my imagination despite my skeptical view point.

Forget the film
