About this listen

From USA Today and number-one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes a tale of mystery and horror set in Japan's ancient Suicide Forest, a place that is easy to enter but, for some, impossible to leave.

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods.

When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning - and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.

Contains mature themes.

I absolutely loved this book. I read this book in one sitting and I simply couldn't put it down. It captures you and it's very suspenseful. You didn't know if it was one of the friends or something else. It's a great read. I want to read the rest of the series.

Oh wow. This was very disturbing and eerie, brilliantly written. It was so taut with tension that you found yourself struggling to breathe.
Not at all gory ,definate mind games .
Really enjoyed it

So so creepy

I must’ve listened to a different book. Than the other reviewers. Sorry but to me this was not that good, this was my first Jeremy Bates novel and it will be my last. It just didn’t do anything for me. I love Supernatural horror, it was more like a teen horror movie.

Boring unfortunately

The story keeps you guessing right to the end. Very well thought out. Listened to the whole story in one sitting. Would definitely recommend.

Gripping storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Although I thought it was overly long, and a bit slow in places, the concept of a suicide forest was extremely frightening. The characters were were a great mixture of personalities and they worked well in the storyline

The fear

Culturally insensitive, illogical, nonsense, annoying main character, a male pick-me if you will, it’s like an even worse Midsommar, I don’t understand the number of good reviews

Kinda enjoyble trainwreck

Average, performance was good but had to listen at speed to stay interested, not what I expected

Listened at 1.7x

I didn't really like the characters, and their behaviour often seemed to make no sense. the story overall isn't bad but I think would have way enhanced if the character would have been more relatable.
I think other stories by the author are way better, and this was one of his weaker works

Could have been better

Wasn't expecting much, but I was wrong. Could definitely imagine being there and feeling the despair.

The atmosphere

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I enjoyed the steady start as it gave a good base to understanding each character. Giving a nice amount of background to each person, and accents where needed without being over the top or unrealistic.
Things build slowly but when they kick off they really kick off!
I listen to audio books as a bedtime wind down before sleep but regularly kept me up late as i needed to know just a bit more before i could pause, ‘just one more page,’ and for the last 3rd of the book i had to switch to daytime listening as the scene and atmosphere were set so well it was actually frightening at times! Which made the book everything i hoped it would be.
The narrator was easy to listen to and took you through the journey as if you were there.
Highly recommend this book and i will be getting others from this author.

Great listen
