I just know I'm going to hear Andrew Eiden say, "At dark, I become loathsome," in my dreams for weeks! 😂 He truly brought this grim poetry to life. I'll be adding more stories narrated by him to my TBR.

Eric LaRocca has been on my radar for a while. When I saw the cover of this book, I knew I had to start my journey with this one. I finished this audiobook in one sitting; there was no way I was walking away once I was immersed in this story. It oozes grief, touching on themes of mourning, mental health struggles, and self-identity acceptance. My only complaint: I felt something was missing in the final moments of Ashley with his wife, when those with his son were poetic.

If you enjoy audiobooks and horror reads, I highly recommend this one. However, do check the ❌TWs❌, as it is a dark read that really makes you reflect on the subjects of loss and grief.

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC!
