About this listen
Heather, Rachel and Antonia are going to Almanby.
Heather needs to find her boyfriend who, like so many, went and never came back.
Rachel has a mysterious package to deliver, and her life depends on it.
And Antonia — poor, lovestruck Antonia just wants the chance to spend the day with Heather.
So off they set through the idyllic yet perilous English countryside, in which nature thrives in abundance and summer lasts forever, and as they travel through ever-shifting geography and encounter strange voices in the fizz of shortwave radio, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe.
Creepy, dreamlike, unsettling and unforgettable — you are about to join the privileged few who come to understand exactly why we don't go to Almanby.

In a parallel universe
Interesting in that it’s set in a world that’s 95% like our own. Most things are familiar to the reader but some things are off. It’s hard to quantify as nothing is explained much.
I have to say, up front, this just isn’t my kinda story. Nothing amounts to much and it’s very anticlimactic. The 3 main characters range from slightly annoying to unbearably annoying. The main protagonist is just childish and got on my nerves almost immediately and I was stuck with her for another 7 plus hours.
Lists are way too long, annoying songs are sung too often and for too long, conversations were often totally inane. It often felt like dialogue for the sake of dialogue but between two people who were either pathetically childish or didn’t want to talk. It was often just drivel.
The story didn’t really go anywhere and the side characters were unlikeable and often without purpose or point.
The narrator’s voice has obviously been slowed down for some reason. It just makes the whole thing tedious. I listened at x1.7 and it still felt like it dragged.
Interestingly written but not clever enough to be at all enjoyable.

Lost in the Ego
Interesting set up, some wonderfully creepy moments in the beginning but overall poorly executed. This book is the equivalent of someone telling you their dream for 9 hours. I was bored after 1 hour, annoyed after 2 and starting skipping ahead after 3. This would have been better as a short story. I really didn’t need to spend this much time with such irritating characters, nor did I need lists of dinosaurs and discussions about ice cream.

Haunting, weird and poetic
Like being caught in a nightmare, in a good way. Ghosts, anomalies, numbers stations, folk horror… all in beautiful prose with an excellent narrator.
