About this audiobook
A wayward seminarian is summoned to a remote Ukrainian estate to pray over a colonel’s dying daughter—only to face three midnights of unholy terror. Each night, as candles gutter in a long-deserted church, the coffin creaks, the dead rise, and the air swarms with clawed, whispering things. Armed with a chalked circle and desperate exorcisms, Thomas holds his ground while the witch hunts blindly for him—until she summons the Viy, the ancient being whose iron gaze sees all. Nikolai Gogol’s folk‑rooted masterpiece blends bone‑deep dread, earthy humor, and the haunted beauty of the steppe into a relentless crescendo of fear. Ryan Darcy’s vivid performance brings every detail to life: the rattle of windows in a midnight storm, the swagger of Cossacks in the yard, and the final, breathless confrontation when courage and faith are tested to the breaking point. A cornerstone of classic horror, The Viy is a compact, heart‑pounding descent into the supernatural—and a perfect listen after dark.
