The End of the Sentence Audiobook (Free)

It begins using a letter from a prisoner …

As he attempts to rebuild his existence in rural Oregon after a tragic accident, Malcolm Mays sees himself corresponding with Dusha Chuchonnyhoof, a mysterious entity who promises to be the owner of Malcolm’s house, jailed unjustly for 117 years. The prisoner needs that Malcolm execute a gory, bewildering job for him. As the clock ticks toward Dusha’s discharge, Malcolm must attempt to find out whether he’s assisting a murderer or an innocent. THE FINISH of about The End of the Phrase the Word combines Kalapuya, Welsh, Scottish, and Norse mythology, having a dark thought background of the hidden corners from the American West.

Maria Dahvana Headley and Kat Howard have forged a fairytale of spirits and guilt, literary horror blended using the visuals of Jean Cocteau, failed executions, shapeshifting goblins, and magical blacksmithery. In Chuchonnyhoof, they’ve produced a new sort of Beast, longing, generations later on, for Beauty.

“Headley and Howard have the ability to throw Malcolm and the reader headfirst in to the darkness while rendering it feel like a progressive, incremental journey…Also the pleasant things-the friendly librarian Lischen, the house spirits who keep Malcolm food and drinks-feel ominous in the coauthors’ stark but lyrical prose. Ultimately Malcolm as well as the audience must determine whether this is dark magic or something stranger altogether.”-Publishers Weekly
