Consumption by Michael Patrick Hicks

4.0

I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second horror story called Consumption that I've listened to in the space of a month. I'm sure that makes a bold statement about me, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
Anyway, you know that old TV show where a bunch of strangers went to each others house for dinner, and they were all so uniformly awful, you wanted bad things to happen to them? Well, this story is kind of like that, except your deepest, darkest desires are fulfilled. It's a good read/listen, watching these people trying to figure out what's going on as their numbers gradually reduce. Bear in mind though, the author is known for his attention to detail, so if you are squeamish, you might not want to read this, well, during dinner.
