Summary

Superstitions only survive if people believe in them...

Renowned academic Dr Sparling seeks help with his project on a remote Irish village. Historical researchers Ben and Chloe are thrilled to be chosen—until they arrive...

The village is isolated and forgotten. There is no record of its history, its stories. There is no friendliness from the locals, only wary looks and whispers. The villagers lock down their homes at sundown. A nameless fear stalks the streets...

Nobody will talk—nobody except one little girl. Her story strikes dread into the hearts of the newcomers. Three times you see him. Each night he comes closer...

That night, Ben and Chloe see a sinister figure watching them. He is the Creeper. He is the nameless fear in the night. Stories keep him alive. And nothing will keep him away...

The Creeper is a masterful tale of horror and suspense, by one of Ireland's most talented emerging authors.

Fantastic!

This was creepy and scary and I thought the end was surprising! The only minor thing that bothered me was that the historian was doing a folklorist’s job, and Ireland has a lot of folklorists!

Good but fell at the final hurdle.

Great little tale. Likeable protagonists. Very creepy but petered out at the end and felt a bit unsatisfying.

The inconsistency

Although I’m a horror fan not sure I understood or could follow the storyline. Probably will have to listen to it again

Always an unexpected ending

Drawn in straight away like a moth to a flame. Anyone looking for books that give you the creeps and heaps of imagination; I highly recommend

Excellent

After reading his other book “The Watxhers” and really enjoying it, I was intrigued to see how this would be. Really excellent. Great narration, great characters, original story, scary, dark and I love the fact that it’s Irish and based in a fictional part of Ireland. So we have 2 great horror authors now here in Ireland (that I’m aware of, and I read and listen to a lot of horror)

The narration

Listened over over over and over. Great book to fall asleep with, then enjoy again in the waking hours as it was so interesting

decent all rounder

good story, well written and scary or at least gripping. the narrator is very good too. Although, the author seems to have got bored with the cop storyline.

Solid modern folk horror thriller

A very enjoyable take on folk horror tropes. Clearly defined characters, a good escalation of the tension, and a decent ending. Unlikely to blow you away, but a good tale, well told, and I'd be happy to recommend it to others.
