Publisher's Summary:
When washed-up priest Angela Murs and skittish ghost hunter Tim Golding are summoned to a vast country manor to help a sick little boy, they have no idea what to expect. While it's clear that young Sammie is a very disturbed child, there's surely no way he could have been behind the recent spate of accidents or the death of his father. The child is dirty, malnourished, and perhaps the victim of a negligent mother, but as Angela and Tim's investigations take them deeper into the mystery, they realize there is much more going on than they ever could have imagined. When the blood begins to flow, there will be no escape, and little Sammie will finally be forced to show his true nature.

SAM
If you could sum up Sam in three words, what would they be?
Sam is a creepy and atmospheric gem that hits on so many horror notes but then does its own thing at the end. I am still contemplating the end and may listen to it again with that in mind.
Very good book. Great twist to an old plot
Loved the book. if you like supernatural book, like the Exorcist, you'll like this book.. to me the ending makes the book. hate a good book with a standard or boring ending. love it when a book ends with a twist or a suprise. Liked how this book ended.
An updated take on the Exorcism Story
Where does Sam rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
There are two things that I should mention. As far as the story goes. It was jut okay. Wasn't terrible, but it's really been done to death. The added bit of a shadowy corporation was nice, and motivations of external persons was nice, but really, it felt just like any other exorcist story.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending was foreshadowed a mile away. While some people may find the reveal to be gasp-worthy, and the ending was a good one, it was set up long ago in the story.
What does Nigel Patterson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Nigel took a mediocre story and turned it into something to really sink your teeth into it. He creates tension and gives the characters that bit of emotion in the sub-text that people may miss just reading it.
Any additional comments?
Really enjoyed Nigel Patterson's work, and look forward to listening to more of his work.
Highly recommend
This book was creepy! Still it had its moments especially one in particular that had my laughing so very much. The characters are well written and narrated. Could not stop listening!
What a creepy little boy.
Sam has some wonderful characters in it. Angela - the lesbian ex-priest, Tim - the paranormal investigator who may just be out to make a buck, Jessica - the devoted widow and mother, who just happens to be filthy rich, and Sam - the very creepy, possessed little boy who's favorite show seems to be South Park.
There is plenty of suspense, and some of Sam's actions are cringe worthy, but Iain Rob Wright also writes in some dark humor to lighten it up a bit. Makes for a book you just can't stop listening to.
Nigel Patterson does a wonderful job as well. I have loved his narration in other books, and he definitely doesn't disappoint with this one. There are plenty of different voices to do in Sam, and Nigel really adds to the creepiness factor.
