THE SCARF

by | Read by Matt Godfrey

Fiction • 5.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1947

Matt Godfrey's horrifying first-person portrayal of the serial killer Dan Morley is perfect for this first novel by Robert Bloch, author of the 1960 movie PSYCHO. Dan is molested by a teacher and later becomes a successful author/screenwriter who leaves a trail of mayhem behind him. The 1949 setting comes alive with Godfrey's dynamic delivery of timely jargon--such as "swell" and "coupe"--along with scenes of copious smoking and drinking. As Dan meets well-rendered, opportunistic "guys and gals on the make," his treatment of the women who fall for him is abominable. Most fascinating are an outspoken psychoanalyst who befriends him and confident Pat, who challenges him. Dan's diary, the many cynical conversations that take place, and our fears for each unsuspecting woman make this audiobook a chilling must-listen.
