A GRIMOIRE DARK

by D.S. Quinton

Narrated by: Allen Grunerud

Production by: Duane E. Schafer

Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe all in One!

Having spent a good portion of her life in an orphanage, Del Larouche is able to leave there and begin her life as an adult. However, she can’t just leave Jimmy behind so she visits him until she can spring him from there. Del finds herself gifted with a talent and a heritage that had remained hidden until the dark spirit made its appearance. Del now has some decisions to make, not all of them easy!

This book takes place in 1963 and has strong references to Edgar Allen Poe. Taking place in New Orleans, the listener is gifted with an authentic creole accent for every character (well done!) and tidbits of voodoo and other dark magics. The author, D.S. Quinton captures the attention of the listener and holds it from word one to the end. He weaves a carefully constructed and well-delivered horror plot. His characters are well developed and at one point he got a “YES” for how he handled the Sister!

The narrator, Allen Grunerud, gives a strong and solid performance. His creole accent is well done, realistic and at times hard to understand but in a way that one expects (specifically for the handicapped character, Jimmy). However, it is rich and authentically done.

Overall, this book was well done, it was horrifying, to say the least … and the performance was captivating. I am looking forward to more!

There were no issues with the production or quality of this book. The quality of the sound was crisp and clear.
