The Dark

Another great read by Jeremy Robinson! The Dark grabbed me from the start and kept on going, faster and faster as the story progressed. Likeable characters, humour, creepy creatures - with a surprising twist and all out adrenaline action that kept me reading furiously. It's a fun, creepy, nerve-wracking, action packed read. All one would expect from a Jeremy Robinson book - and Jeremy never disappoints!

Sometimes you just need a well written, entertaining, creepy read and The Dark by Jeremy Robinson delivers on all fronts. It's been a while since I've listened to a ten hour book in a day, but once I started this book, I was captivated and couldn't put it down. It has the usual JR blend of action, suspense, and humour...not to mention creepiness. This book will leave you feeling like you've just been on a wide ride but rather than needing a break, you want to dive back in and do it all over again. I loved the little parallels to the state of the world for the past year and for those suffering with chronic illnesses. Not to mention the pop culture references and Easter eggs for Jeremy's other books. (Must go listen to Tribe now)
RC Bray was perfect for this story. He does creepy so well. He gives each character their own unique voice and each scene it's own tone that works perfectly for what is happening. The bloopers at the end were a brilliant addition. Production was great with no issues.

The Master Turns To Horror. With this book, Jeremy Robinson – The Modern Day Master of Science Fiction – again attempts a horror book... before bringing it back to the scifi action that is his bread and butter. He first establishes a loveable galoof of an anti-hero: an Army veteran who has PTSD from his experiences in Afghanistan who can't quite fit in with his suburban civilian “normal” life. Then, he begins building in the mystery and the horror, slowly ramping it up to truly horrific levels across several different types of horror, finally culminating in a truly utterly horrific sequence that, arguably, hard core fans of Mass Effect who are familiar with Mass Effect 2 in particular may be at least somewhat jaded to. And then, the actual scifi action conclusion – almost as though Robinson has made us see hell, and now wants to leave us on a more interesting/ happier note. Long time fans of Robinson may see at least a few similarities to his 2010 “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God” retelling, TORMENT, though for me that particular book was so horrific because it was essentially a modern day version of that famous sermon (which was, in itself, essentially a then-modern retelling of Dante's Inferno). For those like me who literally had nightmares for years after reading that book, I can tell you that this one isn't anywhere near that bad – at least not in the same ways. It truly is utterly horrific in a couple of sequences in particular, and these new horrors may indeed haunt your nightmares for quite some time. But dammit, that is what makes Robinson the Master.
