OK, I concede, "Mrs. Blackmore" is not completely unlistenable. But it's so, so, SO difficult. I think I'm about to tap out of this one.

I crashed headfirst into "Mrs. Blackmore" and I think I'm having the same problem with that that I did with "In the Pit." Basically, they both give the game away too early, and then the rest of the story just becomes an underdog action story against a big scary threat. Which is just boring.

I feel like I wasted my time on that stupid fucking pit. Maybe I skipped over something important but I don't care to check.

"In the Pit" is such a hard one for me. I don't give a damn about the asshole stuck in the pit but I NEED to know if Arlie is a latter-day Dunwich Horror

Snow Devils my beloved!
Also I know the prison tale isn't hitting with everyone (and some of the attitudes expressed by the characters at least are... dated) but I'm already getting a Michael Myers vibe off the creepy kid in the story with in a story. Expressionless eyes, not much of a talker, violently slaughters someone...
