This was intensely uncomfortable. The writer was way too familiar with what child abuse feels like.

Wow! An amazing job on reading this! Very honored you took the time to read my story, might not be the best but it’s a story that’s close to me nonetheless.

Is there any(🙏) possibility of an alternate ending? Im sure you’ve glanced over the comments and its a great story, but the ending…….please?

[@comenowletusreason6330]

Bummer in the end? The entire thing was a bummer. It definitely was agony from start to finish. The writing was decent, reading great as usual. Content sucked, for me at least. If the main character had been an adult, it still would have been a downer, but it being a child was totally messed up. Wtf

Omg what a story

[@bigredninja2200]

My mother left my father and I when I was a kid. But l blamed everyone but her and all I wanted to do was live with her. So one day she calls and asked if I wanted to move in with her. I was elated and said yes, I was 14. As soon as I got there they started acting just like these two parents. Doing many of the same shaming and belittle techniques.They know I didn't like clowns and that the movie poltergeist scared the crap out of me. So they would wait till I was asleep and put a clown doll(4ft) in my arms looking into my face. One year of hell on earth and I went home. This story really hits home with me. All but the whole seeing dead people 😂. I love this channel!

The Book of Agony? More like the Book of Sadistic Torment given what Ben went through. Poor guy. 😬

[@Pinefr0st]

47:07 couldn't finish. These parents are just such trash. I'll try again later but I've got to sleep.

[@vanessaashford9203]

yeah tbh the author overdid it. There's accurate portrayals of abusive families, and then there's just making out parents to be cartoonishly, absurdly evil in a way that defies any appearance of basic human decency, and the parents in this story definitely fall into the latter category. Like after the prank and the dad unironically calling him "butthurt" I couldn't really take the story seriously anymore, like it just feels like it was a written by a rebellious 14-year-old who sees their parents this way. Also, you'd think the grandparents would have a little more recognition that their grandkid was being raised by complete sociopaths like this if they supposedly care so much about his wellbeing. EDIT: okay after watching the whole thing I guess that last part isn't entirely accurate, but otherwise I stand by this.

Well, Dr, this something I couldn’t have ever seen coming. You do us this incredible kindness by narrating such a long story, 2:42:00, and well, it fell flat. And as always, should there be an issue with the story, it isn’t ever your fault. But I can only guess that your mistake was choosing it. The real issues and blame go directly to the author, Banned In CP, for a story that left half of its listeners unable to finish. Another 25% confused when finished, and the group where I reside, the final 25% that did listen all the way through and is truly left wanting. Sure it’s amazing to have the great Dr Creepen narrate your own story, but even he can’t make chicken soup from chicken shit. (One of my Fathers favorite sayings) so bad that even the Dr was unable to save this debacle. I’ll stop there. Thanks again Dr Creepen for putting so much effort into this for our entertainment. I am sorry that it fell flat, and I’m not (by a long shot) the only one who thinks so. However your narration was great, no surprise there! But even though you did your best, the damage remains. I hope you and your family have a lovely Holiday season, and you actually take some time off! You deserve it!!! Ok, now, let’s get to the next one! 👍

[@JadedBelle]

I mean...y'all gotta think of the Good Docs position right now. Maybe he's pushed for time and thought he'd treat his people to a long narration but with a lot going on he just scanned over it and probably recognized the flaws after much work was done. Then with all the negative feedback he most likely would like to say "my bad guys...I failed to notice that it really sucks" but ya know...he really can't..because it would sound unprofessional to criticize an author that way. I surely don't envy the job he does of trying to read over an unbelievable amount of words and stories to then decide which ones to use. Imagine the time sink considering the man works a full time job outside of this. I'm not arguing with you I just happened to reply this on your comment since you were very understanding about his predicament as well. I just wanted to mention some of these hoops the Good Doc jumps through just for us. Let's hear it for the Doc! Let's give the Doc a hand! 😁

[@amyhunter83]

I'm going to be rather scalding but this is the second at best C- grade writing I've heard of from Horror Channels in the past 2 days. The owl gets halfway forgotten as if it wasn't even a relevant entity, purely used as a plot tool to force / foreshadow certain events. Ben's parents get swept to the side, father gets some jail time which is hardly satisfying, the mother seems to just fall off at the end only to be mentioned for the reader to feel pity for either Ben or his mother. Frankly this wasn't very good. It had me in the start, what with the supernatural book and a possible second entity that's benevolent but the writer wanted to lean elbow deep into edginess so badly they ruined a great story base. Shame, genuinely a shame.
