I was gonna go see this in Red Bank if it had good reviews but apparently it was so bad that they canceled the entire tour just 4 cities in. Apparently it was almost more of a comedy somehow instead of a horror which you can see on the website doesn't mention anything about that

Live 'Insidious' show shuts down after stop in Detroit

Insidious may have performed its first and last live show in Detroit. The new production was performed at The Fisher Theatre over the weekend. The reviews were not great.

So a sequel of sorts as a stage play? The constant harping in that article of the price for the tickets is petty and suggests that if they paid $20 a seat they'd have been happy. I'm sure it wasn't good but other than a couple of anecdotal generalizations how can you even know? Interesting idea at least. Pity is wasn't good.

I saw this comment on Reddit about it when I was looking for reviews and it really does sound pretty bad. It's just odd they would go the comedy route when Blumhouse was one of the producers and the website mentions it's going to be scary

Have you happened to have read We Are Legion (We are Bob)? I just started that audiobook because it was so highly rated and also narrated by Ray Porter. It was published in 2017 and the Chapter 2 reveal of what happened while he was in cryo-stasis feels awfully familiar and too real right now. *nervous chuckle*

I did the audio books for the whole series, except for the most recent.

Overall, I enjoyed the series a lot. There are some parts that are better or worse but I’m still liking enough that I’ll pick up the recent book.

Good to hear. It feels like (I'm only 3 chapters in) that it's very much lighter on the nitty gritty of the tech and more about moving the story along without stopping too much to explain details. I'm ok with that - seems to have the same good wit as Hail Mary but less brainpower required which is good when I'm trying to work and listen at the same time. Hail Mary had sections where I was like wait, what and had to rewind to pick up the nuance of what the tech jargon was telling me.
