The Walking Audiobook by Bentley Little: A Chilling Odyssey into the Unknown
Huddled under a cozy blanket on a stormy night, the pitter-patter of rain against the window set the stage for my latest audiobook adventure. With the lights dimmed and the outside world a blur, I plugged into “The Walking” audiobook by Bentley Little, narrated by John Pirhalla. As an ex-book author turned blogger, I’ve always had a soft spot for tales that push the boundaries of reality, and this one promised a foray into a chilling unknown that piqued my curiosity.
The story unfolds with an eerie premise—people are dying, and the dead are walking in a manner that defies explanation. Bentley Little crafts a world teetering on the brink of despair, reminiscent of his haunting narratives in “Gloria” and “The Policy.” His writing conjures images so vivid that they linger in your mind, like shadows flitting at the edge of your vision.
Miles Huerdeen, our protagonist, is driven by a personal vendetta to understand the fate that has befallen his father, now one of these enigmatic Walkers. As Miles trails them into the abyss, we’re taken on a journey that’s as much about confronting inner demons as it is about facing literal ones. It’s an exploration of loss, determination, and the lengths one will go to for answers.
John Pirhalla doesn’t just read; he performs. His narration doesn’t succumb to melancholy but elevates the tale to an epic saga. Each word is infused with a sense of urgency and resolve that compels you to listen, to root for Miles amidst the creeping dread.
