MYSTERY LIGHTS

Narrator Jess Nahikian brings to life this collection of bizarre short stories set in the American Southwest. Whether purely human or supernatural, each of the short stories in this collection examines a woman trapped in a state of terror. Even when the supernatural element is just a metaphor, stories of a ghostly prospector haunting the bathroom of a college campus, media stunts gone horribly wrong, and horrifying experiences at a home for the elderly capture the experience of what it's like to be a woman in the United States. Nahikian's perfect pacing turns up the terror just the right amount to keep the listener on edge. V.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
