A great listen; creepy and thought-provoking!
Whoa, this was not what I expected, but was so so good! A fascinating story based on a True Crime I'd never heard of, I listened to this in two long chunks (though it's broken up by chapters for shorter listening, too). Made me wish there was a bookmark or highlight feature in Audible because so many parts -- about how we label people, about the difference between raw talent and privilege, etc., - were so interesting and made be go "huh!" aloud while listening.
But it was also just an entertaining and often funny story about what it's like to be a real loser in high school, the kind people are scared of. Thought the writing was so smart, and the performances great! Now I wanna see the movie or TV show based off of it, haha.
Totally recommend!

Creepy and engrossing
This is a wonderful old-school radio drama in the best way. Leah has taken a spine-tingly creepy story and adapted it for the myriad opportunities and strengths of audio storytelling. Steven Boyer’s performance is just incredible. If you’re a fan of true crime and/or psychological mysteries that investigate the dynamics of toxic masculinity (oof, or if you just want a genuinely fun and creepy yarn!) you need to get this.

Something Different
This isn’t a topic I’d normally select but with the Pandemic and Shelter in Place decided to do different. Glad I did. It’s different, eerie, and walks the lines of bullying and mental illness. The performances were top notch and really take this work to a new level. Try it!

pretty good
This was short, but definitely got my attention. I loved the story line and the different characters. So neat how the background noise kept changing. It kept it interesting to say the least. Not boring at all! Got this for free and I'm impressed.
