Aspiring model Allison Parker finally moves into her dream apartment: a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But her perfect home quickly turns hellish. The building is filled with a cast of sinister tenants, including a reclusive blind priest, who seems to watch her day and night through an upstairs window. Eventually, Allison starts hearing strange noises from the empty apartment above hers. Before long, she uncovers the building's demonic secret and is plunged into a nightmare of sinful misdeeds.

Story3 out of 5 stars 1
The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind it a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled; for wherever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. The fog, quite simple, drives people insane.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Mr George Smiley is small, podgy, and at best, middle-aged. He is disillusioned, wrestles with idleness, and has been deserted by his beautiful wife. He is also compassionate, ruthless, and a senior British intelligence officer in short-lived retirement from the Circus, the British Secret Service organisation situated in London. But Moscow centre has infiltrated a mole into the Circus, and it's more than likely the perpetrator is Karla, Smiley's old adversary and his opposite number in Moscow.

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years. It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course.

A classic of the horror genre, Dennis Wheatley’s The Devil Rides Out pits the powers of good against the forces of evil as the Duc de Richelieu wrestles for the soul of his friend with the charming but deadly Satanist, Mocata. Mocata has the power to summon the forces of darkness and - as the Duc and his friends will find - is willing to call upon ever-increasing horror until thundering hooves herald the arrival of the Devil Himself. The book was also made into a classic cult horror film in 1968, starring Christopher Lee and Charles Gray.

A Great Listen
Would you listen to The Devil Rides Out again? Why?
Yes. I enjoy the atmosphere of the book and the slow build of suspense. In fact, I've listened to it several times. The first time I heard it was years ago as a public library check out. I was happy to find it at audible.
Have you listened to any of Nick Mercer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't.
If you could rename The Devil Rides Out, what would you call it?
The Horror Within.
Any additional comments?
This is a book that can be revisit multiple times and not lose its appeal. Bravo

classic but dated
A very enjoyable listen to a book I had trouble slogging through on paper. This book is the basis of the wonderful Hammer film of the same name. A bit uneven at times, but a fun and enjoyable romp through the terrifying world of Wheatley's imagined Satanic cult conspiracy.

Classic tale From a master storyteller
This is a classic book written in 1934 and is a occult adventure story of good versus evil - times and attitudes change and unfortunately the words within this audio version vary from the original book, in my view as a purist, it should stay true to the original form and be accepted as such by the listener with the words used, as written by the author at that time.

Something different
If you could sum up The Devil Rides Out in three words, what would they be?
Gripping, Exciting, Occult
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Devil Rides Out?
The night time in the library when the evil forces try to take Simon.
What about Nick Mercer’s performance did you like?
Brilliant reader. The characters were clearly defined by his reading and amazingly consistent.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was fascinated by the period drama aspect of the story, the aspects of occult and the pace and clarity of the writing.
Any additional comments?
I usually prefer modern crime or Agatha Christie but fancied something a little different. This was superbly written and so well read as to be a tour de force. Some aspects are a little too far fetched but that in part is the joy of the occult.

A Good Listen
This 1930`s horror story still has the power to chill. Dennis Wheatley is an excellent storyteller and despite careful explanations of occult practices, well researched by the author, one`s attention is always engaged and the adventure enjoyed. I first read this book in the late 40`s. It was a good read then and is a good listen now.

THE Only Classic Satanic Story
Exciting, fast story. Well read with a subtle delivery that adds more impact than the more overdramatic alternatives. I recommend all the Mercer readings of the Wheatley books.

Stay with it as the pace picks up
Initially I found the building up of the story a little ordinary, not bad but somewhat formulaic. At the same time I didn't initially feel sufficiently invested in the character who was in jeopardy to really feel the tension. However, once I got about a third of the way in there are some brilliant set pieces and the characters had grown on me enough that I cared about their plight. I had to listen to the last 2 hours or so in a solid block, so it had really picked up by the end. The conclusion was perhaps a little unsatisfactory, but I honestly can't think of a better way to do it, so I don't really think I can heavily criticise it for that.
The narration was a bit patchy at times, Nick Mercer sometimes seemed to be confused about which character was speaking and on at least one occasion read one of the characters names wrongly! Pretty solid overall though.

The devil rides out
First read the book in the late '60s as a young teenager. It provided plenty of enjoyment then. Like all books I like I'll read them over and over but I admit to not having read any Wheatley yarn in over 35 years. This was a thoroughly enjoyable return to this novel. The story is well paced and constructed. And while as an adult I'm a lot more sceptical on many things I once firmly believed in as a 16 year old the novel is no less captivating. Nick Mercer does a great job as reader; a wonderful performance
