  • Summary

  • If you drive past the lights of downtown Roswell, north on Route 285 into the darkness of the New Mexico desert, you'll run across a little radio station with a single tower. This is the home of WKLEN talk-radio, broadcast through Tower #57.

    Fresh out of the local community college and eager to start his career in radio production, Luther Stenson arrives for his first shift as an intern on Evening Sands, a late-night radio show focused on the unexplainable and broadcast throughout the lower forty-eight.

    Luther’s first night in radio quickly becomes one he’ll never forget, when a mysterious caller known only as "Magnolia" begins to interfere with the station’s broadcast. As the night progresses, Luther and the station crew are pushed to their psychological and emotional limits as they uncover a life-threatening secret and deal with forces beyond their control. The desert is lonely at night...

    In the city known for attracting millions to the uncanny, tonight the uncanny is attracted to the only light in the desert... The blinking red crown of Tower 57.

    Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

A solid Twilight-zone like radio drama

I am absolutely hooked on this, it has a twilight zone like radio drama feel to it with solid voice acting.

Interesting ideas, uneven execution.

This mostly played out like a B grade radio drama. However, the third episode- the night in the desert - was like something else entirely- genuinely terrifying in parts. The skinwalker should have played a bigger part throughout, as the next episodes were quite weak by comparison. It was free and, overall, worth listening to.

Meh.

Great idea, decent storytelling, and interesting main characters. The flip-flopping of motivations and attitudes was horrible though. What could possibly have been the Bad Guy's motivation in either foiling the plan, _or_ in tipping off the good guys once they had succeeded? Why are the calm and collected characters suddenly in panic in one scene, and calm and controlled again in the next? Also, most of the sound effects seemed unpolished and subtracted from the experience rather than adding to it.

Quite good but with some cringe

I did like the atmosphere.
Mix between Stranger things and The Vast of Night.
Has a campfire story that could become an entire book.

I did not like the whyning of some characters and many interactions are forced and cringeful.

The main bad guys are underused.

Good listen

Good short story ,narration was good with being a full cast makes it that more interesting when your imagination takes over . all in all good book and I think more books should be narrated with a cast although some lone narrators are great at what they do.

Very enjoyable

This would not have been my cup of tea, but I like taking a few chances and listening to something I would not normally listen to. And this was fantastic, well written it kept me listening a real inteaguing story line. Well worth a listen. xxx
