About this listen
Can you imagine what it would be like not to have any memory of your first 10 years of life?
Jake Howard knows how that feels. He's a successful psychiatrist and writer. He has an apparently adoring lover and the respect of his peers. But he also has a huge gap where his childhood memories should be. What's more, Jake is tormented by the worst kind of nightmares. Nightmares he's not even sure are his.
Tormented by dreams and visions that threaten his sanity, he must find their source in order to understand and banish them.
His hunt will take him to a run-down seaside town, to the place where he was raised and also 40 years back in time, to what he must confront to release himself from the grip of the visions and also to discover the hidden memories.
However, he will discover things about himself he did not dare imagine. Things he really didn't want to know.
And he will also discover that not everyone is what they appear to be. Those revelations will expose a darkness and horror that no one should have to confront.
Sometimes a lie is preferable.
Some truth is best left undiscovered....

This, however, is a let down. The story itself is sort of half decent, but the delivery in the prose is awful and plain lazy in many places. For example, the main male character's surname changes about 3/4 of the way through (!!!) and his age seems to chop and change numerous times. As does the age of the main female character, as well as the male character's daughter. Surely a writer should know these very simple facts about their character's, and failing that, surely their editor should pick up on things like that?
It ends very suddenly, as if he's just run out of steam/ideas, and it was only the link to his earlier and far superior book, Spawn, that I carried on to the aforementioned lacklustre end.
The narration is pretty bad compared to the many other audiobooks I've read. There is hardly any (if any at all) variation in the tones and accents of the characters, which at times made it quite hard to tell who was saying what during conversations, and overall made it quite boring to listen to. Also, a lot of the inflection and intonation in the characters' speech was unnatural and unauthentic. I think the narrator would do fine with non-fiction, but if this book is anything to go by, I don't think he's much of an actor.
Not the best Shaun Hutson book on here by far. Renegades and it's sequel Testament, plus this one's prequel, Spawn, are much better listens.
Lazy writing, boring delivery, ok story

I can't believe that I am saying this about the 'Master of Gore' Shaun Hutson. But don't let me sway you from reading/listening to Progeny. Make up your own mind.
Worst ever.
