Dead of Night audiobook – Dead of Night, Book 1

In the dead of night, as I lay in bed with my headphones on, I was transported into a world of horror and suspense with the Dead of Night audiobook by Jonathan Maberry. The darkness outside only added to the eerie atmosphere as I listened to this chilling tale unfold.

Maberry, known for his expertise in crafting zombie stories, takes us on a terrifying journey where a prison team’s plan goes horribly wrong. Injecting a serial killer with a serum that was meant to decay his body, they unwittingly unleash a deadly virus that turns him into an unstoppable zombie. As the contagion spreads, it threatens not only the state but the entire planet, putting humanity at risk of extinction.

The novel is filled with high drama, gruesome scenes of rotting flesh and corpses. It also explores the consequences of dangerous biological experiments gone awry. Maberry skillfully weaves together elements of horror and science fiction to create a gripping narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Narrated by William Dufris, the audiobook takes on an even spookier tone. Dufris masterfully brings out the evil and menace in both the zombies and human characters through his voice modulation. His performance adds depth and intensity to the story, making it all the more immersive.

The ending is superbly executed, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction while still craving for more. The final words spoken by the characters are powerful and memorable, leaving a lasting impression.
