About this listen

Lynn’s always heard voices, but what if she’s not the crazy one?

Hell is a real place, and it’s in Michigan.

Lynn spent her life trying to escape the tourist trap of her hometown of Hell, Michigan. After a failed semester at college, she had no choice but to return home. Usually, she made a habit of hanging out in the woods around her mother’s home and avoiding the tourists. When a voice calls to her from the woods, she follows it.

Hearing voices is nothing new to her but hearing one outside of her regulars isn’t. The voice leads her down a rabbit hole of the town’s secrets. West Gate Hospital was an urban legend she’d heard about since she was a kid. Except legends don’t leave buildings behind.

nice horror story spotlighting mental illness

Such a nice story and a brutal insight into the stigma still attached to mental illness, and the inevitable isolation and loneliness people affected by it are forced into. I listened to this as an audiobook and really appreciated both the narrator and the whole production, with the addition of external sounds really enhancing the listening experience.

Through the story of Lynn and her diagnosis of schizophrenia (due to her hearing voices), we explore also the hidden and tainted history of Hell, a small town in Michigan where she grew up with her mum and sister. It hasn't been easy for Lynn living in Hell (what a perfect name for that place!) and no matter for how long she tried to escape from it, she finds herself with no other choice than to come back.

When suddenly she starts hearing an unfamiliar voice that brings her to the town's abandoned asylum, she realises that her mental illness might not be the worst that happened to her. Especially after meeting Jayden, in town on holiday with his friends, drawn into the asylum by a different voice and visions of someone else's life. As they try to make sense of that horrible place and the horrors they are forced to face, they find they can rely on each other. But even that might not be enough to put an end to what's inside the asylum.

I have to say I really liked the spotlight on mental illness and how people affected by it, are suddenly viewed differently, not trusted and treated as always in need of protection. I think this story is for a YA audience, with the dialogues and the relationship between the characters reflecting this. I was a bit disappointed by the ending but all in all I liked the story and found doubting myself about hearing voices during my walks with my dog Dora!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

a haunting story

What happens when you start hearing voices in your head?
New voices.
Not the ones you're already used to.

Lynn has schizophrenia and hearing voices is an everyday thing. But when new voices suddenly join in, coaxing her to an abandoned mental hospital, things get less than clear. Is she losing it worse than ever, or is it something different?

The book was a fun listen (with the audio narrator getting very creative with sound effects), a typical romp through some dark woods and an an abandoned creepy hospital which has a sorbid history - and that history is still alive.

The book was good, probably could have been tidied up more for loose ends but overall an enjoyable story and a heavy atmosphere.
