Sponsored by the audiobook edition of Ink by Jonathan Maberry, read by Ray Porter.
From bestselling author Jonathan Maberry comes Ink, a new standalone supernatural thriller. All through the town of Pine Deep people are having their most precious memories stolen. The monster seems to target the lonely, the disenfranchised, the people who need memories to anchor them to this world. Something cruel and evil is feeding on the memories, erasing them from the hearts and minds of people like tattoo-artist Patty Cakes and private investigator Monk Addison. When all you have are memories, there is no greater horror than forgetting. Listen to the audiobook of Ink, read by Ray Porter, now.
Hello mystery fans! Going into this weekend, I’ve got for you a bunch of “best of” lists, articles, and some Kindle deals. I plan on organizing my new ereader with all the 2021 books I can’t wait to read, and then staring at my TBR and hoping a book makes its way into my hands. Here’s hoping the final stretch of 2020 is even just the slightest bit gentler.
