About this listen

Bram Stoker award-winner Bentley Little cordially invites you to The Resort.

Welcome to The Reata, an exclusive spa isolated in the Arizona desert. Please ignore the strange employees and that unspeakable thing in the pool. And when guests start disappearing, pretend it isn't happening. Enjoy your stay, and relax. Oh...and lock yourself in after dark.

Opulent doesn't begin to describe the Arizona getaway where Lowell Thurman, his wife Rachel, and their three young sons have come for one glorious week. Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under. After all, when you're in paradise, a few glitches shouldn't spoil the fun.

But the good times come to a screeching halt, when, to the Thurmans' horror, guests begin to disappear. What's happening at the resort? Evil, ancient, and cruel. And unless they can stop it, the Thurmans will be forced to sacrifice at its altar....

Explicit violence.

Awful audiobook and not what I expected at all. The story makes no sense and is there any need for the graphic sex scenarios. Very disappointing. I’m glad I didn’t waste a credit on this one.

A cleverly crafted, enjoyable story with lots of twists and turns to maintain interest and wanting to know what was going to happen next.

Really enjoyed this audio book. You could really feel the tension and the growing sense of foreboding. All the characters were very well drawn. But this would also not have been possible without the excellent narrator! Whom performed every character superbly! Yes their are a few plot holes, that you may question, but who cares! Also be warned, the book does not hold back on graphic details. But all are intrinsic to the plot. Overall this is a great listen for all fans of horror, dont listen if you are not!

Great and original story!

I am a huge fan of Little. This book was ok, not my favourite, but the narration made it hard to listen to. The stereotypical "accents" were bad, the breathy voice of the wife, the "cool and nonchalant" voices of the teens. To be honest it felt a bit embarrassing to listen to.

Painful to listen to

I could not stop listening. the narrator made the characters so real. a different kind of story.

page turner

I'm new to Little and I've noticed that in the 3 books I've listened to there always seems to be some sort of sordid, carnal sexual behaviour mentioned when characters are under influences (in the Resort, The Bank and The Store. It got all got a bit much and I couldn't listen with the kids around. I'm not a fan of the narrator either.

To much weird intimate behaviour

I'm a huge Bently Little fan, so his books always get a 5 star from me. I'm a hardcore horror fan, and even though I wouldn't exactly describe his books as horror, it stil keeps me at the edge of my seat.

Bently Little for the win!
