Book description
DEVOLUTION: A FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE RAINIER SASQUATCH MASSACRE
Max Brooks
Listen up. Really listen.
Kate Holland's voice-Brooks channels it with brutal authenticity-doesn't just tell you about the end of civilization in Greenloop. She drags you through it, claw by claw, scream by scream. When Mount Rainier blows, you're there, trapped in that luxury eco-compound with the most terrifying predators on Earth.
Not zombies this time. Something far worse.
Brooks doesn't just narrate-though his performance crackles with the same intensity that made "World War Z" unforgettable. He becomes Holland, becomes the scientists, becomes every terrified soul who faced the impossible and lived to... well, most of them lived.
The horror isn't just in the Sasquatch attacks-though Brooks describes those with stomach-turning precision. It's in the devolution of human nature itself. Cut off from the world, surrounded by creatures that shouldn't exist, the survivors tear each other apart faster than anything with fur and claws ever could.
This isn't monster porn. It's a savage examination of what happens when comfortable civilization strips away, revealing the primal beasts we've always been underneath. Brooks knows monsters-his zombie credentials are legendary-and here he's found something that makes the undead look like house pets.
The audiobook format is perfect. You need to hear the terror in Holland's voice, the scientific detachment that cracks under pressure, the raw animal fear that comes through Brooks' performance like a physical thing.
Listen in the dark. Listen when you're alone.
Just don't blame me when you check the shadows in your peripheral vision a little too carefully afterward.
Brilliant, brutal, and absolutely necessary listening.

I've become a more attentive listener thanks to the engaging audiobooks. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
