David Morrell - Creepers - Unb
Read by: Patrick Lawler
Runtime: 8 Hours and 35 Minutes




David approached me about doing the narration for Creepers in 2004 and I
told him that I would be glad to, however when the time came to do the book
I was just recovering from a nodule being removed from my throat,
so Patrick Lawler did the narration. After reading the book and hearing
Patrick do his normal excellent job I decided that the next time i see him Im gonna
punch him in the nose, I hate missing out on a good book and this is one
of them. (Harlan Ellison)


On a chilly October night, five people gather in a run-down motel on the Jersey shore and begin preparations to break into an abandoned hotel nearby. Built during the glory days of Asbury Park by a reclusive millionaire, the magnificent structure, which foreshadowed the beauties of Art Deco architecture, is now a decrepit, boarded up edifice marked for demolition.

The five are "creepers", the slang term for urban explorers - city archaeologists of sorts who go into abandoned buildings to uncover their secrets. And, on this evening they are joined by a reporter who wants to profile them - anonymously, as this is highly illegal activity - for a New York Times piece.

Balenger, the sandy-haired, broad-shouldered reporter with a decided air of mystery about him, isn't looking for just a story, however. And, soon after the group sets forth into the rat-infested tunnel leading to the building, it is clear that he will get even more than he bargained for. Danger, terror and death are awaiting the creepers in a place ravaged by time and redolent of evil.
