A SLIVER OF DARKNESS Stories

Tudor's short story collection involves mostly persistent feelings of mounting dread rather than abject horror, although listeners will encounter terrifying moments. Her stories unfold in modern British spaces, and the narrators are consistently superb. Dakota Blue Richards captures an aching eeriness as a commercial cruise ship is forced to carry on its daily routine for decades after a mysterious mass event occurs on land. Adam Sims's gravelly voice unwinds the tale of a mysterious jazz musician with a secret. Richard Armitage dryly conveys a story about a malevolent entity encountered during a nighttime walk. Together, these stories create a creepy and engrossing listening experience. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2023]
