Illusions of Isolation

De: Brennan LaFaro

Narrado por: Marnie Karger

Is anyone ever really alone?

When a young man’s wife goes away for the weekend, he lies awake all night wondering what the otherworldly sound in the attic is, and why only he can hear it.

After her husband’s death, a mother who interacts with her son exclusively through stationery notes grapples with the strange ways her lost love seems to be haunting them both.

And inch by inch, room by room, a young girl’s home is overtaken by a savage jungle, even while her parents are being gradually replaced by somewhat…wilder housemates.

In this debut collection Brennan LaFaro, the author of Noose and Slattery Falls, brings you these stories of creeping dread and much, much more. Contained within are 13 tales of horror, humor, and heart, (including nine which have never before seen the light of day) and an introduction by the legendary Jonathan Janz.

Is anyone ever really alone? Or are they merely suffering....

Great collection of horror short stories!

Illusions of Isolation
By Brennan LaFaro

This was a diverse collection of short stories from various sub-genres of horror. There is something for everyone. I really enjoyed the inclusion of the author notes at the end of each story!

There were several I really liked, including "Then You Smiled for a Second" and "Dressed for Success." But, the standout story for me had to be "Just a Note." This was a found footage story that was told through notes, and it was excellent!

Overall, after rating each story, the average rating came out to be 4⭐️s. The narration for this book was great and really added to the experience. Marnie Karger's performance gets 5⭐️s!
