The narration by Mr. Ketchum is fantastic as well. Listening to Jack Ketchum speak is like being told a story by an old friend over a glass of whiskey by the fire.
Overall, another fantastic story by Jack Ketchum. 5 stars.

I really enjoy listening to audiobooks read by their author, as the writer knows the intricacies of the text intimately and can adapt their reading accordingly. Ketchum was an excellent narrator, his warm and softly-spoken voice kept my attention throughout the short runtime and conveyed the nuances of the text.
However, at the end of the audiobook I felt confused regarding the actual plot and the message of the story. I felt as if I had been given all the jigsaw pieces, but that I had missed some key information as to how they all fit together. I’m afraid I missed any allegory or symbolism, but this is no doubt due to my lack of intelligence rather than the writing! The audiobook deserves a repeat listen, and maybe I will ‘get it’ next time. And regardless of any such criticism regarding the story, Ketchum’s writing talent is beyond doubt.
In conclusion, I recommend this audiobook to people who like their horror low-key and ambiguous.
Rest in peace Mr. Ketchum, you are sorely missed.
