O tym tytule

This program is read by David Aaron Baker, who brings the nightmare to life with his sinister narration. He has earned several AudioFile Earphones Awards and has been a three-time finalist for the prestigious Audie Award for Best Male Narrator.

The Exorcist meets Lord of the Flies, by way of Midnight Mass, in Boys in the Valley, a brilliant coming-of-age tale from award-winning author Philip Fracassi.

“A sublimely chilling story.” —Library Journal, STARRED review

St. Vincent's Orphanage for Boys.

Turn of the century, in a remote valley in Pennsylvania.

Here, under the watchful eyes of several priests, thirty boys work, learn, and worship. Peter Barlow, orphaned as a child by a gruesome murder, has made a new life here. As he approaches adulthood, he has friends, a future...a family.

Then, late one stormy night, a group of men arrive at their door, one of whom is badly wounded, occult symbols carved into his flesh. His death releases an ancient evil that spreads like sickness, infecting St. Vincent's and the children within. Soon, boys begin acting differently, forming groups. Taking sides.

Others turn up dead.

Now Peter and those dear to him must choose sides of their own, each of them knowing their lives — and perhaps their eternal souls — are at risk.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Great narrator. The development of the story is superb. Awesome characters and spooky. I’ll def give it a second listen.

Loved the story

This was my first Audiobook by Philip Fracassi and I found it because I was looking for books narrated by David Aaron Baker. As a big fan of Stephen King and Dean Koontz I really enjoyed the book. It is for sure in the same league as early King and Koontz books.
However, the best about the book is the narration by David Aaron Baker. I loved his work as Odd Thomas and this one comes really close.
Definitely a recommendation, if you are waiting for a new King novel and have to find something in the meantime.

Great story, brilliant reader

A solid book if you're into religious themes and horror. I have to admit that Peter was a slightly annoying main character.
The voice actor is great, though, and it's a great little listen. The religious themes were a bit cheese and cringy at times, but I guess that's to be expected.
