About the Performer

Award-winning narrator Hillary Huber has recorded hundreds of titles spanning many genres. Hillary has a BA in English Literature and is a voracious reader and listener of audiobooks. Being raised in conservative Connecticut and hippy Hawaii has given her a unique perspective, straddling two very different worlds. She now splits her time between California and New York. Most of that time is spent in a small 4x4 padded cell. Um...booth.

Short but deep, dark & real!

With a side of a sad view at the growing loss of real love in today's society & a look at what today's love resembles. The trained sociopathy of avoiding "catching feels" like the disease that Lauren Oliver's distopian Delirium society believes it to be. Also, a look at the accompanying crisis of conscience.

"What bliss,
What bliss is this,
what bliss is this void now furnished like a booth"
Decorum at the Deathbed by Josh Malerman

"Damn her, lewd minx! Oh, damn her, damn her!
Come, go with me apart. I will withdraw
To furnish me with some swift means of death
For the fair devil. Now art thou my lieutenant."
Othello by William Shakespeare

"Ah, Death, the spectre which sate at all feasts! How often, Monos, did we lose ourselves in speculations upon its nature! How mysteriously did it act as a check to human bliss, saying unto it "thus far and no further!" That earnest mutual love, my own Monos, which burned within our bosoms- how vainly did we flatter ourselves, feeling happy in its first upspringing, that our happiness would strengthen with its strength! Alas! as it grew, so grew in our hearts the dread of that evil hour which was hurrying to separate us forever! Thus, in time, it became painful to love. Hate would have been mercy then...
death-producing, a distinct intimation that knowledge was not meet for man in the infant condition of his soul. And these men, the poets, living and perishing amid the scorn of the "utilitarians"- or rough pedants, who arrogated to themselves a title which could have been properly applied only to the scorned- these men, the poets, ponder piningly, yet not unwisely, upon the ancient days when our wants were not more simple than our enjoyments were keen- days when mirth was a word unknown, so solemnly deep-toned was happiness- holy, august and blissful days, when blue rivers ran undammed, between hills unhewn, into far forest solitudes, primeval, odorous, and unexplored."
The Colloquy of Monos and Una by Edgar Allan Poe

Hmmm

Fascinating. I wish this was longer so it would explain everything. But it is a very creepy mystery all the same.

Definitely interesting

A good little story, fast paced and disconcerting. I enjoyed the way it felt more and more frantic as the story progressed.

Wordy and Dull

I didn’t care for this one. Wordy and somewhat dull. A woman who is a sociopath runs in the woods and finds a booth and is driven to confess. Can’t get back the time wasted on this.

hmmmm...

interesting premise. I would have liked to have a little more explanation or detail as the story was winding down. also, if she believes she's a sociopath then she would have no guilt.

A woman wanting her husband dead....

I have chosen 2 Audible originals in a row of a woman wanting her husband dead. Don't read...this is a spoiler alert. If you are interested in a short dark story go ahead and listen in. She confesses her guilt to this booth and feels better. I looked at it as the booth was supposed to have a religious content of a confession booth yet she was confessing this to Satan...and when she did she felt better. The end left you wondering...did her husband survive????

This is an unusual story. I enjoyed this book ver.

This story I'd definitely worth a listen. The journey will leave you questioning your over perfect friends.

Edgar Allen 2.0

Entertaining tale of a woman that slowly becomes addicted to the feeling of confessing and the accompanying forgiveness. It's sort of a twisted retelling of The Tell-tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.
