About this listen
Subject B’s terrifying ordeal continues. And this time, he may have met his match.
When Marcus Holt is kidnapped by the brilliant and sadistic Professor Worthe, the battle-hardened Vietnam veteran is forced to endure a never-ending gauntlet of terror. He thought his days of death and horror were over, but Worthe’s village promises only more of the same. And his next horrific encounter is about to begin.
There is a new test subject in Worthe’s haunted village: Subject G. A Roman Catholic priest in the outside world, this new victim’s faith and devotion are put to the test when the group is hunted by a vicious ghost called the "Butcher". Seething with anger and rage, the Butcher haunts the crumbling remains of an abandoned taxi station. She is capable of tearing flesh and shattering bones with the unnatural strength in her ghostly hands.
As Professor Worthe watches his latest experiment unfold, the vindictive wrath is set loose against the terrified subjects. Marcus possesses an iron will, and years of combat experience, but will it be enough to lead his team to survival and defeat the unholy killer stalking them from the shadows?

Best yet.
Book 3 sees Worthe adding an abandoned Taxi Station to the village, but the inhabitant is one of the most viscous. The Butcher likes to rip people, especially men, apart. Worthe isn't going to stop there though, he decides the next "subject" should be a priest. Worthe doesn't even stop there!! He torments the priest with live footage of Marcus interacting with the others. Plus the priest doesn't believe in the supernatural.
I seem to say it every time I finish a book by this other, but this one is even better than the last 2. There is so much going on, not just in the village but also with Worthe himself and with his staff. Marcus has his hands full trying to save the priest, but this ghost could be his match because it's unnaturally strong. The plot is fast paced and intense and it was impossible to put down. It isn't hard to become invested in this series and it has quickly become my favourite.
This author has never failed to deliver a well written and intense read. This series is an amazing one and one I highly recommend.
Thom Bowers performs this book brilliantly. He has an impressive array of tones and voices and always captures the atmosphere perfectly. I highly recommend you check him out.
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Another Great Book
This is book number three in the trilogy. Ron has a way to introduce new characters who face his supernatural challenges. You always impatiently await for the next edge of seat moment. This book expands some of the characters and helps you put it together. Marcus and our good guys continue on surviving. He brings some of hisolder characters in to help you follow and enjoy his books. I love his twists and turns. The Haunted Village has you stuck again. This is a must read enjoy.

Allowing The Screams To Continue
As the third book kicks off, the dynamics are changing from the second book. As Marcus and his small band work together, they watch as another home is brought into the village, and a new ghost that they are going to have to deal with.
As a new member is brought in, the group tries in vain to save him ... but time will tell if they are going to be successful or not.
Absolutely enjoyed this one! I could not put it down until I had finished! For horror fans, this is a series that you are going to want to read!

The Best
Ron Ripley doesn’t write fast enough for me to get to the next story. The characters are very likable, loving and brave. Not the usual gratuitous violent scary stuff. A little humor thrown in, too.

Great Creepy Series
I absolutely love this series especially the characters and ghosts. My favorite characters are Marcus, Alex, Timmy, Joyce, Philip and Elaine. Hate Abel Worthe, Kimberley and David with the experiments they do in the village. I really felt sad about the priest who does not believe in ghosts but believes in demons. It leaves you impatiently waiting for next book. Highly recommend this series but need to start Worthe’s Village to get the full effect of the characters. I read back in January but absolutely loved listening with the great narration. Cannot wait until Soul Harvest comes on audible!
