I really enjoyed this one, it was a fun little read.
Felt it was well structured and paced just right for a novella. I’ll definitely be checking out more by these guys.

“A Halloween treat designed to keep event the boldest of warriors awake until the early dawn.”
The Nest by Benn Errington, John Crinan, Andy Conduit-Turner and Daniel Wilcocks is the frightening story about four single parents who go missing. Taking matters into their own hands, the children begin to investigate the circumstances surrounding the disappearances and all the strange things that occurred just before. Bizarre offerings, screeching noises and seeing a creature with huge wings is just the beginning.
This story was a fun horror read which was easy to devour. It reigns in on the four children of the missing parents with their experiences prior to the disturbing discovery. Little bits of key information was dropped at the right moments bringing a focus on the mysterious atmosphere of the story. The elements of horror kick in from the beginning as the unsettling tale begins to unfold.
I read this in one sitting, its a jam packed novella where the characteristics of an unnerving horror story were paced perfectly. From the beginning to the conclusion, the reader is gripped by what they think is going to happen. The characters were easy to relate to and I enjoyed the comedy throughout, it came at the right moments and even during some dark ones.

No School. No Parents. No Way Out.
On a dark and stormy night, the disappearance of four single parents leads to an investigation by the children they leave behind. What is it they’re seeing in the rain about their town? This terror with wings! Do all their stories match up? Are they really all seeing this same supernatural force or is it just their imaginations terrifying them? And if it is real, will this motley crew of youngsters be able to stop it and save the day? Or will they fall prey to the same fate their parents did?
From Stranger Things to The Nest, I LOVE 80’s aesthetic horror. No, I did not grow up in the 80’s (I’m much, much older than that 🧛🏻♀️), but somehow the concept of being a child, fighting the dark shadows of evil to kick ass 80’s music feels strangely nostalgic. And this was no exception. The cover and the content both exude that 80’s vibe and I’m so here for it. The length of the story (70 pages) promotes a quick injection of that nostalgic horror we so love and who wouldn’t want this cover on their bookshelf? It’s a simple, straightforward story with simple kid characters but it really hits that sweet spot.
You won’t get some long epic adventure or drawn out explanation of the evil force. Like I said, it’s quick. There are a few typos I spotted but nothing to really disrupt the story telling. It’s FUN! Just go purchase it off Amazon already because it’s inexpensive, pretty, and you’ll be supporting a great group of podcasters who clearly put a lot of care and effort into their art. Do it!

A fantatastic tale that will send a chill down your spine. This talented group of authors weave their words together as if they were one. They do a beautiful job at capturing young characters. The fear seeps off the page and into the readers bones.

Nice quirky short story here. Reminds me of an edgier goosebumps. Well worth it in audio if you get chance.
