About this listen

The village of Saint-Ferdinand has all the trappings of a quiet life: farmhouses stretching from one main street, a small police precinct, a few diners and cafés, and a grocery store. Though if an out-of-towner stopped in, they would notice one unusual thing - a cemetery far too large and much too full for such a small town, lined with the victims of the Saint-Ferdinand Killer, who has eluded police for nearly two decades. It's not until after Inspector Stephen Crowley finally catches the killer that the town discovers even darker forces are at play. When a dark spirit reveals itself to Venus McKenzie, one of Saint-Ferdinand's teenage residents, she learns that this creature's power has a long history with her town - and that the serial murders merely scratch the surface of a past burdened by evil secrets.

Critic reviews

"Move over True Detective. A rich, gothic story of murder and mystery, A God in the Shed is quite possibly one of the most enthralling novels I've read in the last 10 years. Dubeau is a force to be reckoned with." (Jerry Smith, Fangoria Magazine and Blumhouse.com)

I bought this book thinking it was a horror story - NOT - I suppose it was meant to be a horror but I found it just silly. Three boys find a creature in a cave when they were young and used to play with it. Then the story goes to when they are older and the creature is not playful anymore. It rips people apart and consumes their souls and calls itself a god. Some of the adults belong to a type of masonic lodge and are able to do a little magic, they want to find the 'God', capture it and make it give them wishes.. A young girl traps the creature in her shed with a webcam of all things. A doctor puts nails through the eyes of a dead young girl so the creature won't get her soul and she ends up a ghost. Things goes go steadily downhill as the book progresses they become quite silly right up to the end.

Silly story, silly title

I love Stephen King, I love H P Lovecraft even more, I am a sucker for tales about secret societies, I love bit of gore also. So this was a great experience for me.
I binged listened to this, would make excuses to be able to go out on long bike journeys so I could carry on with the story. I am not saying it’s perfect, some characters were a bit uneven, and they would do one thing that would make me feel like I understood what is making them tick and then later on something would occur that would seem out of character for them. But the story itself seemed magical to me, the world felt real considering it’s about magic and monsters.
I am not the biggest fan of the Netflix show ‘stranger things’ but I do like Stephen Kings IT, or the body (Stand by me) and this book seems much influenced by such things
Last thing I would say is, buy the book as opposed to the audio. The narrator is ok, but certain characters voices he does made me teeth itch. I assumed a main character was supposed to be annoying but realised that it was the narrator’s portrayal of them that was invoking the feeling.

Great start to a trilogy
