This audiobook elevates parasitic terror to an art form. The narrator's dual performance - alternating between the host's panicked gasps and the parasite's clinical detachment - creates unbearable tension. Subtle biological sound effects (wet squelches, rapid heartbeats) amplify the grotesque transformation without overpowering the story. While the middle section drags slightly, the finale's whispered payoff justifies the journey. A masterclass in audio horror that will make your skin crawl for days. Not for the squeamish.
