The Disappearance

Written by Bentley Little

Narrated by John Pirhalla

A haunting tale of a missing girl that could only have come from the mind of Bram Stoker Award-winning author Bentley Little. The festival was intended as a getaway from UCLA for Gary, his girlfriend, Joan, and their friends. But soon after they arrive, Joan vanishes. Calls to her parents’ home yield only dead air. Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find. Among Joan’s belongings is a prayer written on a small scroll. It’s a safeguard—and a warning—from something called The Outsiders. For Gary and his friends it’s the only clue. Now, if they want to find out exactly what happened to Joan, they must follow it. But they may not like what they find....

Reviews for The Disappearance

[Wendy · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I am enjoying his books but the “Deformed offspring” trope is becoming a bit overdone

[John Water · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good book with lots of twist and turns. However one thing I hate are plot holes and unanswered questions. There were several. Enjoy but don’t expect all the answers.

[Nina Quartuccio · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not my favorite book by Bentley Little. Comparatively to the others, it was a little flat. Usually his books have an air of excitement and suspense. Although, this book had a little of both not enough to make me give it more than 3 stars. This novel Is still well written, characters are well developed in potentially a decent storyline. I feel it could have been elevated with more graphic and violent scenes to bring more excitement into the story. Not a bad read, just not what I expect from Bentley Little.

[James Edwards · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Good book, but pathetic audio book.
Hopefully you have a good imagination as it’s missing over an hour of audio in 5-30 second increments.

I usually like his books. However, this one not at all. I did not enjoy it. It was just a bunch of stuff that happened. And the characters are flat.
