PRIMAL

Stories from the Dark

By: Tanya Eby

Narrated by: Sara Sheckells, Amy McFadden, Carol Monda, Andi Arndt, Hillary Huber, Amy Landon, Siiri Scott, Tanya Eby

A storm, a lighthouse, an angry ghost. An apocalyptic cult. A strange and new plague. A woman who feeds her darkest desire, and a woman who is consumed. A haunted and hungry house. A beastly encounter in the woods.

These stories from the dark are crafted to haunt and thrill you. Each story explores what happens when someone is thrust into darkness by forces of the unnatural world.

By the author of THE TAKERS and THE KNOWING, PRIMAL pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction to areas that might seem familiar but are somehow skewed, leaving the listener with questions of what it means to be human when there’s a beast within. Performed by Sara Sheckells, Amy McFadden, Carol Monda, Andi Arndt, Hillary Huber, Amy Landon, Siiri Scott, and Tanya Eby.

Original Music by Phillip Miller. Post Production by Chicago Audiobooks.

Wonderfully crafted modern horror

Short stories are a masterclass in concise writing, plot reveals and human insight - if done well. And Eby does it well. All of her stories leave you something to chew on. To sit with. She has written a collection of modern cinematic horror set in the present day that make you question what it is to be human, to be a woman. And what you might do when faced with the dark in your own life. The audio is wonderfully narrated with a full cast of voices and the music adds the tone.

Great narration, terrific storytelling.

Want to hear more Carol Monda. All voice actors excellent, and the stories were compelling. The right degree is fright, original.
