About this listen

Somewhere just off the interstate, in the heart of the American Midwest, there's a quaint, quirky town where the stars in the sky circle a hypnotic void...where magnetic fields play havoc with time and perception...where metallic rain and plasma rivers and tentacles in the plumbing are simply part of the unsettling charm.

Mallory Jenkins is about to experience the unique properties of this place for herself - she'll have no choice, considering the collapsed bridge that rerouted her urgent and mysterious trip to Saskatchewan, forcing her straight into the heart of town, where her Impala has an inexplicable breakdown. She intends to stay overnight - just until the auto repair shop can make the fix in the morning and send her on her way. But Mallory will soon encounter Dr. Lewis Burnish, a scientist who's studied the town for a dozen years and knows more about its strangeness than even the locals do. And when she accidentally-on-purpose creates his evil clone, she'll set off a series of events that could unleash the ultimate evil upon the town and wreak havoc on the world at large. Life in a small town is like that sometimes.

Welcome to Anomaly Flats. Have some waffles, meet the folks, and enjoy the scenery...and if you happen to be in Walmart, whatever you do, don't go down aisle eight. Don't ever go down aisle eight.

I really enjoyed it

Wow! I really didn’t know what to expect! A good story that’s extremely odd. The narrator does well for male and female voices and I had no idea how it was going to end. Listened to it in two listens.

Not what I’d expected!!!!

Started a little slow, but clearly that was needed for the story line; needs to be a film! Laugh out loud funny!!!

Weird, fun and well-written

I bought this on a whim while browsing for the second WtNV book, and let's get this out of the way from the start - if you're a fan of WtNV, yes, this is basically the same genre and the comparisons are inevitable. It's not a clone however - WtNV doesn't have exclusive rights to the spooky, weird little town in the back of nowhere genre after all - and Anomaly Flats stands firmly on its own two feet.

The narrator is great, the characters are not predictable stereotypes, and there's a thread of humour throughout the whole thing that in places actually made me laugh out loud. The plot really did not go where I was expecting it to, and that alone makes me strongly recommend it. And that ending - very good! :D

I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series and will definitely be picking it up.

Amazing

Not my usual sort of book as I veer towards horror but this was an excellent story and a great listen.
Think Twin Peaks with demons thrown in.

I was really nicely surprised listening to this. It is a dark comedy, that had me laughing out loud several times! I plan to listen again!

Starts well but descends into annoying ‘perkiness’

The start is fine but the story soon descends into what I can only describe as a kind of perky, self satisfied ridiculousness. It’s almost like slapstick. Reminded me a bit of Becky chambers’ writing but tips, for me, was worse.
