Mr. Cables

Written by Ronald Malfi

Narrated by Nicholas Selker

For bestselling horror novelist Wilson Paventeau, the scariest novel of his career is one he didn't write. It bears his name on the dust jacket and contains his bio near the end, but this enigmatic tome is not part of his oeuvre. And the most frightening thing about it may not be the tale between the covers, but the reason for its mysterious appearance in Paventeau's life.

What an amazing short story. Could the author have made a full novel out of this? Absolutely, but it would have been difficult to make it so hard to put down. Excellent book. I devoured it in one listen. I came across it on accident in my “suggested” reading, and I will now be reading all other works by this author.

Mysterious and intriguing enough to keep you TikTok and along but not so gripping that I’m going to write a letter home

Brilliant !! It was a really scary book....loved the Narrator of the Audio version of the book!! One of the rare horror novels ever written...

[Angela Kelly · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The overall concept was well presented but the ultimate twist is an oldie thats beaten down, worn out and tired. I didn't pay attention to actual time period of plot but conclusion of reveal to some characters was extremely unbelievable and laughable in todays society. If this had been a full sized Novel I would have rated 2 Stars max. But because it is a novella so to say I have given a few more allowances for page number constraints than I normally would.

Flowing plot, well built characters, great background on which story is based.

Short and good. The suspense was just right and the ending was full of hope.

I found this book a little hard to get into. I enjoyed the end and the payoff but didn't find it in the last bit creepy. It's about a writer, and I think I get a bit tired of writers always writing about writers as if they're the only people in the world. Anyway, it was ok

From the start, I really thought that this was going to end up something different than it did. It was still a beautiful yet mildly creepy and makes you ask yourself:
Are honest people good? Not your typical Ronald Malfi horror story. I would still recommend it...just not to someone who is looking for a horror story.
