About this listen

The dead spot: a corner drenched in shadow; an earthquake's epicenter; the part of a roller coaster ride where the car rounds the final curve and all force dissipates, leaving those trapped beneath the safety bar feeling sick and hollow.

From the beloved author of Frost Bite and Chopping Spree comes this heartbreaking horror collection about girls and women trapped by circumstance, manipulation, and obsession. The book includes a moving introduction by J. A. W. McCarthy (Shirley Jackson Award finalist for Sometimes We're Cruel) and seventeen stories by Sylvaine.

The stories include: Astronaut Dreams, The Bride, New Hue, Playing Tricks, Sorry, We're Open, Antifreeze and Sweet Peas, If Heard, Please Call, Starved, Return of The Wilderness Girls, Night Maere, The Dead Spot, Burnt Embers and Bluebirds, Mr. Chew, Crimson Clover, Unrestful Dogs, Clutching Air, Edge of Decay.

The stories were ok, but the audio really wasn't. Much mispronunciation, and for some reason the narrator kept pronouncing "doll" like "Dall", which really grated.
Loud swallowing, shuffling of paper and loads of repeated lines. Needs a much better audio edit at the very least.

Stories ok, audio narration/production not so much
