DELICATE CONDITION

Hillary Huber delivers a delightfully creepy rendition of this graphic, fast-paced horror story about pregnancy and infertility. Anna Alcott is a famous actress who's been going through IVF treatments and finally becomes pregnant. Unexplained odd things start happening: Anna's appointments get switched, her medicines go missing, and she receives strange messages. Things get even weirder after she suffers a miscarriage but still feels and believes she is pregnant. Reality is further blurred as she experiences terrifying hallucinations that seem incredibly real. Huber masterfully captures Anna's desperation while evoking the story's disturbing mood. Forming the basis for the latest season of the "American Horror Story" television show, this dark story takes listeners on a compulsively entertaining, twisty ride.
