Midnight Voices

Amazon.com

In a Rosemary's Baby meets Hansel and Gretel thriller, John Saul's Midnight Voices is packed with bump-in-the-night chills that will frighten and delight readers with its nostalgic nod to urban legends and campfire tales. With short, edgy chapters and all-too-vivid imagery, Midnight Voices begs to be enjoyed in one sitting, in the dark, huddled on the corner of your couch. As usual in Saul's world, strange things are afoot in the city, and the Evans family is the target.

At the heart of this spooky tale are the children, Laurie and Ryan Evans, who are unwittingly exposed to danger when their recently widowed mother marries widower Anthony Fleming. The too-good-to-be-anything-but-evil Fleming lives in the Rockwell, a building rumored to be inhabited by witches and vampires, that has the children in the neighborhood terrified:

"Amber's eyes were still fixed on the building. They were just stories, she told herself once again. They weren't true. But even as she silently spoke the words to herself, a strange chill of apprehension ran through her and she turned away ... I'll die, she thought. If I go in there, I'll die."

Of course, the newly married Caroline does not share the anxiety of her children, despite Fleming's Bluebeard-like determination to keep everyone out of his study, not to mention the horrible whispers and strange sounds coming from empty rooms in the middle of the night. It is this tension, and Caroline's dawning realization of her new husband's shortcomings, that drives the novel to its startling conclusion.

Saul uses familiar horror images--an ancient building with even older residents, creepy neighbors that are not quite right, whispers in your room after midnight--to spin a new tale of evil that will remind readers why one should always leave the closet light on. --Daphne Durham

Book Description

When she meets and marries handsome, successful Anthony Fleming, the charismatic man of her dreams, she believes her life is destined for happiness. She and her children move into her new husband’s spacious apartment in the legendary Rockwell on Central Park West. Despite her son’s instinctive misgivings about the building and its residents, Caroline dismisses the odd behavior of her neighbors as pleasant eccentricities.

Download Description

What if insidious evil flourished in the one place where you feel most safe? The chilling answer comes from New York Times bestselling master of suspense John Saul -- in a new novel that reminds you there is no place like home... for sheer terror.

The sudden tragic death of her husband leaves Caroline Evans alone in New York City to raise an eleven-year-old son and a twelve-year-old daughter on little money and even less hope. But then she meets and marries handsome, successful Anthony Fleming, who wins her heart and embraces her children. When Caroline settles her family into Anthony's spacious apartment on Manhattan's Central Park West, her fears of an uncertain future give way to a sense of abundant happiness. But soon, new terrors will come home to roost in the luxurious, exclusive building named The Rockwell. Midnight voices whisper of a cruel and hungry presence....

First, Caroline's daughter begins to suffer from recurring nightmares of strangers in her room at night. Then her son turns sullen at home and angry at school, spreading terrifying rumors about the stepfather who has shown him nothing but kindness. And when Caroline discover a startling secret about Anthony's past, it seems she, too, is falling victim to the creeping paranoia infecting her family. Should she doubt her perfect husband, their kindly fellow tenants, or her own sanity?

Does someone -- or something -- in her new home have sinister designs on Caroline and her children? Is her new life charmed or cursed?

Hard too put down, but.............2007-08-30

'Midnight Voices' is the second book that I have read by John Saul. I found that this book was creepy enough to keep me awake, but interesting enough to keep me hooked until the end.
Simply put, it is a story about a woman named Caroline, who has been a widow for less that a year. Her husband Brad was tragically murdered, leaving her to raise her 2 children by herself.
One day, she meets two people that will change her life forever, both residents of 'The Rockwell', an old historic building close to Central Park in New York. She ends up marrying the man that she meets in the park, named Anthony, and the nightmare begins.
I found that the pace of the book was consistently steady, and that the author did a great job in the beginning to keep certain things a secret from the reader. Its not until the middle of the book that you start to see what is really going on in the building.
But there were some things that were hard to believe-at least for me. The fact that Caroline seemed really naive until the end of the book, that no one in the family thought it strange that Anthony cooked every meal, all the neighbors were prolific bakers, and that Caroline took every pill shoved into her hand like a toddler-no questions asked!
I would have liked to have seen the loose ends tied up, and there were alot of assumptions that the reader had to make. Was Anthony the killer of Brad? How did the residents become what they are? Why was the building affected by what was going on?
I didn't really like Caroline too much. Single mom or not, she could have been a little more believeable in her reactions. I found her very weak. I gave the book 3 stars because I had too many questions at the end, not enough background history on the residents of 'The Rockwell', and I didn't like Caroline. John Saul is a great writer, but this book felt hurried at the end.

Even sub-par Saul is fun..........2007-06-17

As is often the case with Mr. Saul, I was grabbed by the first page. After a very short time, I was only thinking about "Rosemary's Baby". A previous reviewer also made mention of "Hansel & Gretel", which was also appropriate, to a point. Mr. Saul takes great pleasure in putting kids in peril, and, without blabbing away the plot, he is true to form. I was satisfied with the overall result, though it was never revealed why Brad was killed in the first place. Was it an accident or part of the "plan"? The subsequent references to him made him one of my favorite characters. Regardless, it was a fun read and, though I never liked Mr. Saul's penchant to make children suffer, this one kept me reading. Not the best, but clever and generally well-written. The Epilogue clears things up maybe a little too conveniently, but there were lots of crazy things going on. But I still want to know what happened to Brad...

Roman Polanski Rip-Off.......2007-05-19

MIDNIGHT VOICES is a rip-off of Roman Polanski's THE TENANT and ROSEMARY'S BABY, but without the edge, suspense, characters, or atmosphere. Although the technical writing is solid, it feels bland and generic, and, like a PG-13 movie, this title should be placed in the "young adults" section. The pace picks up a bit towards the end, but it was hard to get through the melodramatic daytime soap opera dialogue of the first two-thirds. I enjoyed reading this author when I was younger, but I guess 15 years later my taste in horror runs a little deeper and more original. Did Mr. Saul really think people wouldn't compare this with Polanski's work? He should know not to mess with perfection. Hmmm

Midnight Voices is Dark, Dreary and Dreadful Fun!.......2006-08-16

John Saul's Midnight Voices is an easy read, with a terrifying twist. When Caroline Evans' husband was killed during a mugging, she is left with two young children and a demanding job. Struggling to make ends meet, she is ecstatic when she meets the man of her dreams.

After a whirlwind courtship, she marries the handsome, wealthy Anthony Fleming and her life seems perfect. Until they move into an apartment in the Rockwell, a well-known building in New York. There she meets the denizens of the building, an eccentric and strange bunch.

Her daughter Laurie begins to experience unsettling nightmares and her son Ryan exhibits animosity toward Caroline's new husband. Excusing her children's behavior, she does everything to please her husband, including visit with the neighbors who begin to show an unhealthy interest in her children.

Before long, Caroline realizes she has made a huge mistake. Nothing is as it seems...and there might be no one she can trust. Except maybe the voices in her head--the ones that tell her that her new home hides a terrible secret.

Creepy in a Rosemary's Baby sort of way. Made me glad I don't live in an apartment. Kudos, Mr. Saul!! I'm a lifelong fan!

A tale of love,ghosts,lies and poverty!.......2006-07-13

This review is dedicated to all those women out there who are single parents and have a hard time taking care of themselves and their kids.I want them to know that they can make it just as anyone else,it just takes faith and determination and a heart full of love...Nigel.

As I write this review I am a bit disappointed with some of the other reviews I have read on this page.Simply because they don't give you a clue as to the story hidden within the book.
This is a great book,the only downfall is that it could have been longer,because as the ending approached another story was revealed which I think could have been touched on or explained in greater detail.But nevertheless this book keeps you guessing and the chapters are short and well developed.It is difficult to skip out anything in this book,because everything is connected either directly or indirectly.
There is so much suspense in this book,it leaves you dumb.It has only appromixately two murders in this book.(so,if you are looking for one of those bloody serial killer novels,then don't bother reading it)If you want a novel that would make every part of your body shiver out of fright,not because of what you are reading, but what you are going to read on the next page,then read this book,its perfect for you...

Here is the plot,as written briefly by me,recapitulated:
(I can write this plot from many angles,I would try to do at least two)
.A lawyer,Brad Evans,is murdered while jogging.
.He leaves his wife,Caroline,and two kids,Laurie and Ryan,to fend for themselves.
.Pretty soon after his death,his wife and kids start to have financial problems,leaving their house and going to live somewhere poor.

(The above part of the story concentrates on the problems a single mother has to face,the sacrifices she has to make to ensure that her kids are happy.This happens in the first 100 pages or so)

.While in the part watching her son play baseball,she was introduced to a man named Anthony Fleming.A rich successful man.(or was he)
This part of the story goes like a romance novel,guaranteeing a great ending...
.But soon after Caroline and her children moves in with Anthony Fleming,bad things start to happen!
Like,for example,Laurie has strange dreams in which people were sucking out fluids from her body.And Ryan starts hearing strange noises coming from a room yet unseen.
.Sometime after,Ryan wonders into his stepfather's study.Ryan then sees some pictures of his father and other neighbours which shocks him.(there is something amazing about these photographs which I would not disclose in this review,for fear that I would give away too much)
.Ryan is caught looking at these photographs by his stepfather,Anthony Fleming.He is then asked by Anthony never to go in that room again.
.Ryan tells his mother about all of this and about how the neighbours have been acting strangely.But his words weren't heard.His mother dismissed it as grief.Because Ryan still missed his real father.
.Pretty soon Caroline herself goes into the "forbidden study" and she seens for her self what the photographs contained!
.She slowly but surely starts to believe her son's story.
.Then one Night she awoke to fine her husband gone.She left the room and wondered into her daughter's room only to find her gone.She instinctively went to the study,finds a closet and enters.(what she sees here is where the story starts to get freaky).
.She sees her daughter on a bed with tubes attached to her.Her husband was there along with all the neighbours,who looked younger that usual.(there is a reason why they are looking young).And before I forget,at the start of the story these people were all old!
.Anyway,Caroline,after seeing this sight,started to scream,only to be stopped by her husband.But before her husband quelled her,she managed to scrape him,leaving rotting flesh exposed along with the scent of death!
.Now,Caroline awakes in a hospital room to find herself strapped to a bed.And her children is under the care of her husband(Anthony Fleming)...
The story gets really good from this point...

like I promised,I am going to write the above plot from Anthony Fleming's point of view.
.Anthony Fleming,along with the neighbours in this apartment building are dead,ghosts,zombies...(it is not specifically said what they were,only clues are given,it leave us wondering what they really were.One thing is certain though,and that is that Anthony and his neighbours were dead people)
.The only way they allowed themselves to materialize was to suck juices(again,the story doesn't say what kind of juices)from the human body of young people.
.These juices allowed these so called "ghosts" to remain young and maintain a youthful human,solid,physical body.
.And ever so ofter they would capture children and take their body juices.
..........And in this story,it seems as though,Anthony Fleming marries Caroline Evans for her children's juices...

So the story's main plot takes effect:The two children are faced with this horrible stepfather and his neighbours,who want nothing but the children's "youngness"...

Now,let me tell you where this story falls short:like I said,it could have been longer.Also,alot of things are obvious.And other things are vaguely written.I can't believe that the writer leaves us hanging.A suspense novel is not meant to put puzzles and leave them unsolved...
But,like I said,this novel is nevertheless good,and it is worth the read...Though I would recommend books like"The homing","Guardian"..which are much better....enjoy...Nige.

One day, Kate hears voices while she's in the graveyard putting flowers on her grandmother's grave. It was her sickly mother's request; she fulfilled it before she went to school after her visit to her mother's hospital bed. Of course she just thinks that the whispers are someone talking, since the halls are really hollow and you can hear just about anything from the graves. Well, when the days pass by she starts to hear phone conversations that talk about things that haven't happened yet, so she goes and talks to her mom, who is recovering from her illness. That same night, though, Kate hears a phone conversation that reveals a terrifying future.

Justin has gotten brand new shoes because of some random `contest' at the sneaker store -- but what he doesn't know is that even though the shoes might be really cool, what they do is not cool at all. When some incidents happens, such as when Justin's neighbor's car is covered in yellow paint, he finds that the bottom of his shoe is covered in YELLOW PAINT!!! Then some days pass and he locks his shoes in his closet -- he's sure that someone has been taking his shoes and committing these unreasonable crimes. Then he figures out that it's the shoes themselves doing the crimes! When he's had enough of the shoes, he decides to take them to the dumpster and just throw them out for good -- but something very weird happens that might just put Justin's life in jeopardy!

Tim is over at his grandmother's house while his parents are away. He's exploring on a very nice warm day, and comes across a beautiful orchard full of apples. He's just sitting there, having a good time, when his neighbor comes out and tells him to leave. Furious, the neighbor comes barging into his house and tells Tim and his grandmother that if he's over at the orchard one more time they're going to have the worst time of their life. Tim gets so mad that the next day he goes over and does some damage to the orchard. After his satisfaction was complete, he took an apple and started munching on it. The next day, he feels sick -- and some very weird things start happening.

VOICES is a total thriller all the way to the end. These were three of the scariest stories I have read, and I give this book an absolute 5 stars!

kids review.......2007-06-04

This book was one of the worst books I ever read! But the thing I don't like about it is that it's a girl book thing. What this book is about is there are two brothers (Chad, Luke) and an older sister (Heidi). They and their family decide to have a vacation in NY. When they get to NY, they rent a 100 year old townhouse. Chad and Luke hear voices when it is time to go to bed. Soon the two brothers find out that they are hearing sounds of people that are dead. Then one day they find some old clothes, put them on and they can go or see into the past. Then they save these two people named Tyler and Emily who died in 1888 because of a blizzard. Then the kids help Tyler and Emily survive the blizzard from the past. All the stuff about dance, balls, and weddings is sooo girl!

One of Pecks best.......2007-04-09

Voices after Midnight was the first Richard Peck book I read and out of the ones I have read so far it is the best. I read this first as a kid then again as an adult and I never stopped liking it. The different characters weave in and out of time till they get to the right time and accomplish what they need to do. Also if you like this book I think you might also like Time for Andrew by Mary Downing Hahn.

I would recoment this book this book for young kids at the ages of 11-14 i think it is a good book because it is adventurous and exciting to read

Voices After Midnight.......2004-03-29

I think that is a good book to read because it is about adventure and science fiction.
It keeps you interested because you don't know what is going to happen until the end. I would
recommend that people read this book because if they like science fiction they will like this

Customer Reviews:

Fun read.......2007-04-17

Of the three stories, I enjoyed the first (Indulge Me) and third (And When They Were Bad) the most and give them 4 stars. In the second story (Naughty By Night), the girl's actions annoyed me. She was mean in the way she treated him for three nights. I give that story 3 stars. Indulge Me is part of an excellent series that would have been nicer if published together in one book. The series is about three girls who are friends and work together in a factory. The group decides that each one of them must visit a nearby porn shop and make a date with a guy they meet there. The girls didn't know it in advance, but the three guys who met the girls at the porn shop knew about it before hand and had planned to be there to make the first date. The 1st story is called Satisfy Me (part of the book: All Through The Night") about a girl named Asia. The 2nd story is Indulge Me (here) about Becky. The 3rd story is Drive Me Wild (part of the book: I Brake For Bad Boys) about Erica. Sexual content: strong.

Simply Sexy.......2006-09-14

I had originally got this because I had read Bad Boys Online...this was a wonderful anthology of stories. Each one had its on seperate plot and theme but they all had a common theme that was great fun to read. I would recommend this book to a firend in a heart beat!

feeling HOT....HOT....HOT.......2006-02-05

This book is hot from start to finish. Have a cold drink and a fan ready before you sit down and indulge in the book. All three stories are great. Although, I would have loved for all of the stories to be longer.

Lori Foster's characterizations=too shallow for me.......2003-10-03

This anthology definitely had some entertaining/sexy moments. My least favorite story was the first one "Indulge Me" by Lori Foster. The only character who wasn't painfully one-dimensional was Becky. I'd say she had about one and a half dimensions. The portrayal of Becky's supposedly closest friends was ridiculous. Asia and Erica existed as nothing more than cardboard cut-outs who walked on stage for some bad oneliners, and then walked off (literally still giggling at their un-witty repartee).

Also, Erica continues flirting and making blatant sexual innuendos with the man Becky's building a relationship with--even after she sees how upset it's making Becky. Hello??! What kind of "best friend" is this? Yet as the reader, it's clear (because Foster beats us over the head with it relentlessly) that we're supposed to regard Erica as the tough-as-nails sassy modern woman. No, I call her a pathetically selfish, hurtful person. And I'm afraid no amount of un-funny oneliners can save her.

But with the exception of Lori Foster's irritating and shallow tale, the other stories in this anthology did succeed as sexy, escapist fun.

Liked first and last.......2003-09-16

All three stories were steamy. The first and third had something of a storyline and a sense of humor.

IMHO Janelle Denison should stick with historical romances- the male character actually uses the word 'vixen'.
