About this listen
At Broth House our soups are made from only the finest fresh ingredients, sourced locally through donations. Our charitable restaurant believes that even the homeless and downtrodden deserve a good meal. A gourmet meal. The meats are sourced locally too. Made from only the best stock. Everyone deserves a warm meal in their belly.
Bon appetit!
Brad and Jeffery are having the night of their lives when tragedy strikes like a slaughtering hammer to a cow's skull. After a fatal meeting with the Butter Boys, they will never be the same.
Investigative reporter Veronica Hensley works on facts and instinct. After being taken off of her story following the strange abductions in the San Diego town of Hillcrest, she goes rogue, and what she finds is a bloody mess no one could have unraveled.
Mayor Muller will do anything to get his numbers up, especially in a reelection year. He'll kiss a baby, shake some hands, even agree to appear at a state chili cook off with that Fontaine guy who runs the Broth House soup kitchen. Ol' greasy Muller will do whatever it takes to win.
Will the missing be found, and what will be left of them?
Here at Broth House, we thank you for your contribution. Everything you give helps feed the needy and the underprivileged. We cannot express how much we appreciate your generous donation.
Ciao!

Would you pay to watch babies fight to the death? Only the wealthy and privileged have the kind of money that can pay for such vile entertainment. The first rule of Baby Fights is there are no rules. Babies can't follow rules. But with a certain persuasion they turn into rabid little monsters, and oh what a spectacle it is to see.

Story
Tanner thought church camp would be boring. That this summer would be forgettable, uneventful, and lifeless. Then, he was surprised to make two friends, both of whom share his interests and anxieties. Together, maybe the three of them have a chance of surviving this long, hot summer. But all is not what it seems at Creston Camps.

Story
The world is overpopulated. Resources are running out. In an effort to balance things out, the government has stepped in with a radical new lottery system. All names are put into a computer, with 200 names being drawn at random. Of those people, 100 will get one color (red) token and 100 will get another color token (white). Whatever color they received, they had to go to the government-run club for the night. Of those who received the white token, they would be going home the following day. For those who received the red tokens? They would be leaving in a body bag.

Who could possibly be miserable while vacationing on a beautiful sunny island with his best friends, surrounded by people having a wonderful time? Brandon. Brandon could. He hated everything about his life, himself most of all. Hated it so much, he’d begun contemplating just ending it rather than dragging himself through another boring day of being a nothing and a nobody and a pathetic loser.

There's a movie marathon happening at the Miller Cinema. Everyone is there, including young Georgie Prince. Georgie is a horror fan, and he's excited to see some flicks he's never heard of. He doesn't realize that there is something wrong with the movies. It was an old tradition. A mix of cinema and stage show, where actors playing monsters leapt out of the screen and rampaged through the audience. The only problem is that this time ... they aren't acting!

A skeleton crew of desperate men looks to capitalize on a handsome reward offered by an eerie outsider. But when they brave the harsh winter waters to transport an ominous crate, their food supply mysteriously spoils, forcing them to stray off course.

Story
It's that special day. The day when everything's supposed to be perfect. The day when everyone is supposed to drink too much and party like it's 1999. A day when family and friends show their support for the beginning of a beautiful bond. But what if someone wasn't there just to celebrate and have fun? What if the extravagant, isolated destination was chosen for a more nefarious reason than assumed? What if most everyone at the celebration had unknowingly attended a Wedding Day Massacre?

Critic reviews
"Robert Essig excels at creating an ominous atmosphere leading to a sense of impending doom. He allows his audience to grasp a well written storyline before feeding a heaping spoonful of humiliation, torture and death."—Horror Bookworm Reviews

Wild & intense!!
Broth House by Robert Essig
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Who doesn’t love a good soup?
What a wildly unique & extreme horror story!
Broth House is a restaurant, which is set up to provide delicious soup to the homeless and those in need.
Jeffrey and Bradley, decide to go out for the night and end up getting invited to an after party. They sure won’t be the same after this party!
Is there a connection to the missing men and this restaurant? Veronica, a reporter is determined to find answers!
This story is definitely a crazy one with cannibalism, torture, excitement and intensity! 🍲🩸🥄
The narrator did a great job too!!
*It’s out now and is a fun and fast read!*

Loving Gibson and Essig!! Recommend 100%
I binge listened this one. So much fun and perfectly narrated by Drew Gibson - he's one of my favorites in this genre. Essig is a new author to me, and now I want to check out all his stuff.
*This is a great title if you don't want the grossest cannibal murder lit out there, or if you want a nice introduction to the more gruesome side of horror lit... or I'm just disgusting.

Good Soup
This audible was provided to me free for an honest review. Deliciously gruesome romp of entertainment. The entire narrative is the verbal depiction of, “is this a decomp stain?” Would recommend.

What a ride
A man hunts men, and makes soup for the needy.....what more could you ask for? Robert Essig knocked this one out of the park. This story is well thought out and never lets up.

Delicious extreme horror brought to life
There’s a lot of heart being served up here, and I don’t just mean at the Broth House soup kitchen! I was enraptured by Jeffrey’s harrowing journey and loved how the narration brought the story to life. Robert Essig knows how to write a story and pack a punch in a novella.
