About this listen
When reality unravels, the monsters you create may be more real than you think…
What would you do if the world around you crumbled—and the villains you invented came to life?
Jake, once a rising star in the literary world, is now a man on the edge of madness. His mother’s death shattered him, grief clouding his every thought. Then came the rejections, each one a stab to his pride and sanity. But it was the ultimate betrayal that broke him—his trusted agent, Mark, twisted his words, stole his ideas, and took everything from him. The pain of betrayal has unlocked something dark within Jake.
Now, the characters he created—once confined to the pages of his stories—are haunting his every waking moment. Victor Black, the cold-blooded villain. The Butcher, pure evil incarnate. Eliza Nightshade, deadly and seductive. The eerie Twins, laughing in the shadows. And Mr. Snuggles, the sarcastic talking cat, now a chilling figure of Jake's spiraling mind, stalking him with yellow eyes and a grin that promises terror.
But these aren’t just figments of his imagination anymore…They’re real.
And they want something from him.

Story
It's 1974, and four students—Tom, Danny, JoJo, and Lara—move into a grand but decaying country residence near their university, attracted by its low rent. Whilst none of them love the place, Tom is the most unsettled. From the moment he enters the property, called Beulah, he imagines being alone there, engulfed by its shadows. On the run up to their first Christmas, JoJo finds a Ouija board, and they decide to use it—encouraged by Danny's drugs. In the midst of the game, Tom makes contact with something, possibly the spirit for which the house is named.

Relatable character
“Jake” by Victor Peter is a relatable and engaging look at identity, self-discovery, and mental health. The story follows Jake as he navigates personal challenges and societal pressures, diving deep into his struggles with anxiety and self-doubt. While the writing feels authentic and captures the ups and downs of Jake’s journey, it can feel a bit repetitive at times. However, the well-drawn characters add depth and make his experiences impactful. With a smooth flow and a mix of introspection and plot twists, “Jake” is a heartfelt read that resonates with anyone trying to find their way while dealing with mental health issues. Overall, it’s a good read worth picking up.
The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the story to life and making me feel like Jake’s struggles were my own!

Wow, the plot thickens
This is my first psychological thriller, and wow. This book kept me on my toes and wanting to know what was real, and what was in his head. The author kept me guessing the entire time until the very end when I realized what really happened. If you love psychological thrillers, you’ll definitely like this book. I highly recommend.

What’s fair?
This audiobook had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I kept wanting to know what happened and why it was happening! I kept thinking this poor guy! He worked so hard on something only to be let down by a hero but then when all of his characters kept talking to him? And in the audiobook they all had their own voice? Very well done and it was brought to life for me! Thank you to the author who let me listen to this!! It won’t be my last audiobook I listen to by this author!

Descent Into Madness
Whoa! I needed some time after finishing this book to decompress. Unwittingly becoming a passenger in Jake's mind was a roller coaster ride - never sure what was real or what was just "fiction." The characters were quite a diverse cast and Sawyer Varvel did an excellent job in distinguishing each one in his narration. I have to say that Mr. Snuggles was my favorite, "Good luck with that."
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommend
I loved the characters . they were so perfect for this storyline. I could have kept reading more but the story ended (great ending too!), a definite page turner. Creepy but not gory . I greatly enjoyed this Novel . Hunter is next up .

Gripping, Dark, and Utterly Unforgettable
JAKE by Victor Peter is a mind-bending psychological thriller, packed with tension, betrayal, and a creeping sense of dread that never lets up. If you love thrillers with a dark, surreal edge and a protagonist you can’t help but root for—even as he loses his grip on reality—this book is a must-read. Brilliantly written and chilling in all the right ways!
The narration by Sawyer Varvel is phenomenal!
