Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to Forest, I found myself questioning the notion of sanity and the darker aspects of human nature. Joe Hempel's narration brought an unparalleled level of depth to the characters, and I was particularly impressed with the way he conveyed the inner turmoil of Professor Barlow. The production quality is top-notch, with crisp audio that immerses the listener in the world of Chaythe Asylum. My only critique is that some listeners may find the pacing a tad too slow, particularly during the initial chapters. However, I argue that this measured approach is a deliberate choice, allowing the listener to absorb the growing sense of dread. Overall, Forest is a haunting and unmissable horror audiobook that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
