Thrilling horror novel The Wild Dark by Katherine Silva, available now as audiobook narrated by award-winning actor Lisa Roumain
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! Today’s spotlight article is dedicated to The Wild Dark, the first book in The Wild Oblivion Series by horror author Katherine Silva. The 14 hours long audio production is brought to life by Los Angeles-based award-winning actor and narrator Lisa Roumain.
I am always game for a good horror story with a healthy dose of the paranormal thrown in, so I can’t wait to embark on this dark adventure.
Let’s take a look at the Publisher’s Summary and after that, I will introduce you to our award-winning author and narrator.
“Katherine Silva spins a unique apocalypse in her new novel The Wild Dark—a book that asks: What happens to humanity when the gates to the afterlife start to swing the wrong way? A darkly imaginative world combines with a story of love beyond death to keep the pages turning.” (Wendy N. Wagner, author of The Deer Kings and An Oath of Dogs)
Ghosts. Soul-eating wolves. World-consuming woods. A friendship that defies death.
Elizabeth “Liz” Raleigh has lost everything: her job as a police detective, her partner, her fiancé, and her peace of mind. After a month of solitude at a cabin in the woods, she finally feels as though she’s ready to move on.
But in one terrifying night, everything changes. Liz’s partner, Brody, appears in the form of a ghost. He’s one of millions that have returned to haunt their loved ones. Brody can’t remember how he died and Liz is determined to keep the secret of it buried, for it means dredging up crushing memories. Along with him comes an unearthly forest purgatory that swallows up every sign of human civilization across the world. The woods are fraught with disturbing architecture and monstrous wolves hungry for human souls. Brody says he escaped from them and that the wolves are trying to drag him and others ghosts back.
As winter closes in and chaos erupts across New England, Liz fights desolation, resurfacing guilt, and absolute terror as she tries to survive one of the most brutal winters she’s ever seen.
Lisa Roumain is an award-winning actress based in Los Angeles. She has appeared in TV & films such as Yellowstone, Blindspotting, Westworld, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, & Avatar. Books were her first love, and she is thrilled to collaborate with authors as an audiobook narrator. She is also a proud wife and mom of 2 hilarious daughters and 4 furry children.
Katherine Silva is a Maine horror author, a connoisseur of coffee, and victim of cat shenanigans. She is a two-time Maine Literary Award finalist for speculative fiction and a member of the Horror Writers of Maine, The Horror Writers Association, and New England Horror Writers Association.
Katherine is also editor-in-chief of Strange Wilds Press and Dark Taiga Creative Writing Consultations. Her latest works, Orchards, Hallowed Oblivion and Dan & Andy’s Scary-oke Holiday, are all novelettes within The Wild Dark universe and are now available wherever books are sold. A sequel to The Wild Dark is due out in August 2023.
I will return with a full review for The Wild Dark in late August or early September, but until then, take care, stay safe, and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
