Over the past year, Andrew Van Wey has quickly become one of my favorite authors. My introduction to his work was By the Light of Dead Stars during the Books of Horror Indie brawl, which served as my first real dive into cosmic horror—and I absolutely loved it. I devoured the sequel, Tides of Darkness, as soon as it was released. So when Tom Jordan, the talented narrator of Van Wey’s audiobooks, offered codes for Head like a Hole, I jumped at the chance. And let me tell you—this book did not disappoint.
The story begins with the grisly discovery of a young woman’s torso and head pulled from the ocean by a fisherman. From that moment, darkness creeps onto the shore, threatening Megan Monroe and her group of friends. As the sinister events unfold, buried memories and long-hidden secrets begin to resurface, forcing Megan to confront the fractures in their friendship before its too late.
Head Like a Hole feels like a perfect blend of I Know What You Did Last Summer, It, and The Thing. Van Wey weaves a chilling narrative filled with visceral body horror, graphic gore, and relentless terror. It’s a story that pulls no punches, making it a thrilling, albeit intense, read that’s certainly not for the faint of heart.
Overall, Head Like a Hole is a dark and unforgettable journey into the heart of fear and fractured friendships. Andrew Van Wey’s storytelling prowess continues to impress, and this book earns a well-deserved spot on my bookshelf.
Tom Jordan has also outdone himself with this story as well. Each character was unique and brought to life with his narration. There was never a question of which character was talking, each character was flawlessly brought to life.
If you are a fan of unrelenting horror, this one’s for you.
