Book description
Todd Bowden had good grades. Good family. A paper route.
Then he met Mr. Dussander.
The audiobook begins quietly. Just a boy's voice, curious.
A neighbor's quiet confession.
The kind of voice you'd hear down the hall.
But what he learns isn't quiet.
Dussander was a Nazi.
He helped kill.
He escaped justice.
Todd knows.
He doesn't call the police.
He wants to know more.
The way a moth flies toward a flame.
The narrator doesn't shout.
He doesn't need to.
The pauses between words are heavy.
You hear the fear in Todd's silence.
You hear Dussander's calm, terrible voice.
It's not a whisper. It's a pull.
King doesn't spell it out.
He shows you how evil can feel like a secret.
A shared thing.
Todd isn't a villain.
He's a kid.
He's fascinated.
He's scared.
He's hooked.
The audiobook makes it intimate.
You're sitting in Todd's room.
You hear the creak of his bed.
You hear the distant sound of his family.
You hear the weight of what's being said.
It's not about the past.
It's about how the past can grab you now.
How the seduction of power feels real.
How easy it is to lean into the dark.
Todd doesn't want to be the good boy.
He wants to understand the monster.
And the monster wants him to understand.
The ending isn't a shock.
It's a slow, cold realization.
You feel it in your bones.
The audiobook holds that feeling.
It lingers.
It stays.
This isn't a horror story about blood.
It's about the quiet horror of choice.
The moment you decide to listen.
To believe.
To want more.
Listen closely.
You'll hear the whisper.
You'll feel it pull you in.
It's the sound of something old and hungry.
And it's waiting for you.
