Reseñas de la Crítica

"With Borderline, Poff carries the reader on waves of poetic prose through the liminal spaces of the mind. This novella bends time and space, blurring the sense of self, the idea of others, and the security of reality. A beautifully evocative and surreal trip through the landscape of the bizarre and terrifying." –Mary SanGiovanni, author of Thrall and The Everywhere House

Incredibly skillful audio narrator, with many voices and emotion.

This book is an intense ride to the borderline of reality and consciousness made crackling by the superb narration which deftly conveys the drama and various voices of the characters' passions, agonies and horrors. The gore and discordant reality are balanced by the depth of characterizations that are made so vivid by the skillful narrator. In fact, it would be difficult to imagine enjoying this book as much if I merely read it, rather than listened to it. This audio feels more like a "radio play" than a reading of a book.

Chilling Horror Experience

This audiobook delivers a gripping and chilling horror experience that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The story centers around a group of college students who consume mysterious drugs. Through this shared experience, they meet a terrifying creature capable of inhabiting corpses, turning their lives into a nightmare of survival and dread.

What truly elevates this audiobook is the narration. The voice actor is phenomenal. Each character is distinct and vividly brought to life through nuanced vocal performances. The emotions conveyed are palpable, making every moment of fear, confusion, and desperation feel incredibly real. The narrator's skill in capturing the eerie atmosphere and building suspense adds layers of tension that kept me hooked throughout.

The story itself is engaging, blending mythological horror with modern settings seamlessly. The pacing is tight, with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. This thrilling ride explores the unknown horrors lurking just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Overall, if you're a fan of horror with a supernatural twist and exceptional narration, this audiobook is a must-listen. It’s a haunting tale that lingers long after the final chapter.

Not for me

I got to end of chapter 19 and just couldn’t do it anymore. Not my cup of tea. Lost interest.
