Paul Tremblay’s terrifying twist to the home invasion novel—inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture from Universal Pictures
“Tremblay’s personal best. It’s that good.” — Stephen King
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.
One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen, but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault.” Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.”
Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.

Jammer dat de stem en manier van voorlezen voor mij niet vol te houden is om 9uur aan te horen

na twee uur luisteren, hopende dat ik aan de voorleesstem zou kunnen wennen, of dat het verha zo pakkend was dat ik de intonatie omlaag aan het einde van elke,elke elke zin niet meer zou horen heb ik het opgegeven omdat dat dus niet gebeurde...

Het idee is hoogst origineel maar de uitwerking laat te wensen over. Het verhaal gaat gewoonweg nergens heen! Dik drie uur in het verhaal is er nog niets gebeurd, ik heb het maar uitgezet.

Terrible narrator. Meh story.

Liked the story but the narrator was… let’s say: not my style. I listened it at 1.1x speed, which made it bearable!

Good premise, interesting execution but horrible narration.

The daughter gets shot dead in a struggle for the gun. From phycotic people who think that the end of the world is coming. Who harass the two gay fathers. A story that keeps you at the edge of your seat for sure. Pist me off though. What a twist to the story with the little girl.

Niet door heen te komen. Meerdere keren geprobeerd, stem voorlezer is echt verschrikkelijk. Na twee uur luisteren gestopt… helaas. Film blijkt wel leuk te zijn.
