A Collection of Interconnected Short Stories

Nine Bodies in a Puddle is a collection of nine interconnected short stories that follow nine characters who discover a body of water. When they step into the water, they switch places with their reflection. The stories slowly traverse from a fairy-tale/fantasy style toward the realm of horror.

If you are listening this book in the presence of other people, I need you to stop immediately.

Wait. Wait until you are completely isolated, locked away, and hidden from the world. Find someplace that is entirely silent. The sound of birds chirping, the humming of an air conditioner, the distant chatter of people a few rooms away – escape it.

Bring a mirror. Once there, isolated from the rest of the world, focus on the details of your reflection. Stare intently at the echo of your blinking. Look into the whites of your eyes.

Isn’t it wrong? It looks nothing like you.

Great intertwined series of short stories

I liked that there was a progression of a few different threads throughout the stories, and I liked the prose. I'm not used to listening to audiobooks, but found that the writing worked well with the audiobook format. I also really like that this was a collection of short stories that were intertwined with each other - it was interesting to listen to each story and find the thread of from a previous story in it.
