Summary

Cathy was six when the man next door killed his wife and himself. It was early morning, and she was playing outside when she heard the first shot.

And then another shot. And another.

The sounds echoed around the neighborhood like thunder. People came out of their houses to see what was happening. Later, she saw the blood and the bodies....

Now, the house is no longer vacant. Someone new has moved in. Something terrible is happening to the neighbors. And Cathy has a secret of her own....

Gruesome horror novel just up my street.

As a Stephen King fan I love a classic horror story and having read everything he has done i have been looking for a new horror author to get my teeth into. I came across Bentley Little whilst browsing and read The Mailman in less than a week.

Death Instinct is gory yes, but it should be its a story of murder and terror. But there is also a good story behind the horror and Bentley Little is great at building up the characters, which you really get to love in the story and hate as there are one or two characters that are pure evil.

There were a few times I was listening to this in bed at night and had to pop the bedside lamp on as I was creeped out by the lurking shape of the psychotic killer on the loose.

I've heard bad reviews about the narrator, I admit it took a couple of chapters to get used to his voice, but I did and actually felt his voice really could have been the macho police officer Alan.

Give it a try i enjoyed it and was able to escape into a nightmare of a murderer on the loose. We're a few scary chapters and yes very bloody thirsty by why not. If you are a true horror fan then this is for you !

Too gory.

I found it to be unnecessarily graphic..... I would not have chosen this book , I feel the introduction was misleading. I will be returning it.

Typical good Bentley Little

Typical Bentley Little story well narrated as usual by David Stifel. Dramatic ending tinged with a high degree of implausibilty but entertaining all the less.

Enjoyable but the synopsis is misleading

Enjoyable book, similar in style to other books by Bentley Little; a gory, horrifying and character focused mystery thriller with an admittedly pretty wacky resolution.

But the synopsis here on Audible is so completely unrelated to the book itself that you'll feel tricked after reading it! The scene described there is just not related to the story. A more appropriate synopsis could be :

"Cathy still remembered the murders across the street from her from when she was a child, and now someone new has moved in. Across town a detective is on the hunt for a serial killer with a horrifying flare for the macabre."
