Chattanooga is a dangerous place when it’s dark outside. At least, that’s the way fantasy author Gil Hough envisions it.
In his fictitious interpretation of the Scenic City, vampires lurk in an industrial site down by the Tennessee River, criminal justice students at UTC take classes like “Paranormal Disposal,” and the Chattanooga Police Department has a budget set aside to help officers deal with the city’s supernatural threat.
Hough’s thriller “The Dark Heart of Power” follows UTC student Jessie as he uncovers the dark secrets hidden among Chattanooga’s streets – and thanks to the growing popularity of audiobooks, you can hear it all unfold while driving past the Choo Choo on your way to work or taking off across the Walnut Street Bridge for your evening run.
Over the last decade, e-books may have reigned supreme, but now, audiobooks are on the rise and e-book sales are beginning to falter.
In 2017, audiobooks generated more than $2.5 billion in sales in the U.S., versus the $2.1 billion in 2016, the Audio Publishers Association reports.
