About this listen
The sound hits Guy in some low, forgotten part of his psyche - a part of him that understands the truth about shadows. The part of him that knows the deep, dark truth behind fairy stories and myths.
Guy is about to finish writing his breakthrough online article. He overheard the story by chance in a pub and it’s guaranteed to go viral - all he needs to do is persuade the World’s Unluckiest Man to talk to him. His best friend Larry’s quest for killer clickbait material has led him to a recently appeared shanty town in Glasgow, where he finds some kind of urban voodoo cult. Ex-cop Sam has already come face-to-face with the terrifying force behind both these phenomena, but he’s been trying to put it out of his mind.
When Larry is killed in inexplicably gruesome circumstances, Guy knows he’s also a target. The evidence of malevolent power is suddenly proliferating - but why now? Together, Sam and Guy enter a shadow world of ancient monsters and modern curses, in a battle to figure out the rules of the game and bring them to the light before it’s far too late.
From the best-selling author of the Stone Man series, You See the Monster is for fans of contemporary horror books at their most darkly inventive: a chilling, high-concept fable for our times.
©2021 Luke Smitherd (P)2021 Luke SmitherdThe story whips along at a pace that hardly falters, I would not put this in the horror genre camp, but it is unsettling and the visualisation the author is able to weave is excellent.
I was a little hesitant as to whether the author would be able to pull off doing his own narration, but again, this was excellent, and was professionally done.
This is the third book of Luke’s I have listened to, The Stone Man and The Empty Men being the other two and I’m hooked by Luke’s writing style, I’m signed up to the club! Looking forward to going through the back catalogue and future releases!

Another brilliant book

Normally when an author reads his own stuff, it is terrible. but Luke is an EXPERT narrator, and this is his best reading yet.
Smart horror from the UK's best horror author

The only disappointment... it came to an end.
As are all his stories, unusual, original and engrossing. You happily do mundane tasks whilst listening.
The last scene threw me an emotional curveball, I'll say no more, to not spoil the story for you.
Another great read from Smitherd

Excellent, as always!

I like his brand of intellectual horror.
If you've read Physics of the dead, you'll also appreciate this, as it goes after the underbelly of the unknown.
I enjoyed Luke's voice work, and look forward to what comes next.
Starve your distractions, don't feed the Monster.
