THE SEA BEAST TAKES A LOVER Stories

by | Read by Peter Altschuler, PJ Ochlan, Michael Crouch, Mark Bramhall, Emily Rankin, Robbie Daymond, Arthur Morey, Kirby Heyborne, Cassandra Campbell, John H. Meyer, Michael Andreasen

Fiction • 7 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2018

A conventional collection of short stories this is not. Michael Andreasen's stories feature the surreal and the odd, along with a healthy dose of science fiction and the absurd. The narration for such an offbeat collection is decidedly a mixed bag. Some narrators in the cast of many well-known names do manage to capture that darkly witty element to great effect. Other narrators strike a tone that sounds overly earnest and enthusiastic, when a more deadpan and sardonic tone would have been more fitting. It may be that the unconventional nature of the stories, featuring the titular amorous sea beast and a headless girl whose brother is her caretaker, makes them difficult to categorize and, thus, results in varied success in narration.
