Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Recensies van critici

"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)
"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)

I liked the excellent buildup, the likeable characters and the time spent on developing their relationships. I also liked the cosmic horror aspect, but it was too...let's call it blunt. Nothing unfathomable and madness inducing as you would expect from the genre. That's all I'm gonna say, as I don't want to spoil the story that's definitely worth a listen.
The narrator's performance is outstanding. Ray Porter is a master at what he does.

Good, but not as Lovecraftian as I'd hoped.

mir hat eigentlich alles gefallen. Selbst nach dem zweiten mal hören hat es die Spannung nicht verloren.

Das Mysterium rund um das Haus und dessen Geheimnisse ist wirklich interrssant

At the core of 14 lies a great idea. I won't spoil the fun by revealing the mystery. Around its ingenious framework the execution is mostly well done, but sometimes feels a bit flat. The characters are a little too innocent, and a bit too witty in their banter. However, I personally did not find the witticisms so jarring that they failed their job of lightening the mood and increasing my investment in the characters. I would recommend this to any fans of the lovecraftian horror/mystery structure of a "big reveal" tale.

As for the reading; Ray Porter does a very solid job of narrating Clines' story and giving each character a unique voice. My only complaints are that he overdid with the accent of a female protagonist and sometimes, the most random times, sounded like he "zoned out" for a few seconds and was listing words, rather than reading a story. However, these are minor complaints, and I prefer his slightly inconsistant, yet dynamic style to the grim monotone of some horror recordings.

An Interesting Take on Lovecraftian Mystery

Robert Porter did an amazing job on the narration, the story was well delivered and entertaining throughout, sad its finished 😢, I'm buying the fold next II have high hopes 🙂 honestly if you like fiction and Sci fi you'll lap this right up it,

In my opinion it deserves 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome, get this one listened too

This was exactly as entertaining as I hoped it would be. Got the audiobook because the actual book is (at least at the moment) extremely hard to get, and I wasn't disappointed. Ok, I saw the twists and turns coming from a mile away, but then I read a ton of horror and sci-fi and am not easily surprised. Nevertheless, the story is compelling, the characters well written. The only thing I didn't like were the female voices by the narrator. To me they all sounded alike: either breathless and whiny or unreasonably annoyed. But of course it isn't easy giving such a big cast different voices, and overall I enjoyed the performance.

Meet the tenants and their weird flats - it's fun!
