WE CAME TO WELCOME YOU A Novel of Suburban Horror

Narrator iiKane shows astounding vocal versatility in this suburban horror audiobook about a bizarre Homeowners Association. Sol and her wife, Alice, finally purchased a home in a gated community. But nosy neighbors, microaggressions, and tree roots growing where they don't belong unsettle Sol, who is stuck at home on probation after a plagiarism accusation at work. iiKane seamlessly narrates Sol's Black vernacular, her homophobic father's Spanish accent, and the occasional words in Spanish and Korean. She perfectly captures the neighbors' unsettling friendliness and Sol's mental unraveling as her depression and alcoholism worsen. iiKane engrosses listeners in Sol's experience as she starts hearing a variety of voices in her head and sees creatures moving around her new home.
