GET IN TROUBLE Stories

This audio collection of short stories looks at young adults or teens dealing with diverse emotional issues. The various narrators--from Cassandra Campbell to Kirby Heyborne--read the collection in such a cohesive manner that it's almost as if there were just one narrator. Each narrator conveys the feelings of teenaged angst, the confusing issues of sexuality and promiscuity, and the despair of abandonment and betrayal--all while adding the eerie undercurrent that something isn't quite right. And sure enough, though it's sometimes confusing, something isn't right! Every story contains a supernatural aspect--which is sometimes a little amusing but often very creepy and unsettling. The many different voices add interest, but no single performance stands out. Perhaps this is the intention for the purpose of creating a consistent listening experience.
