In her own snowy landscape, narrator Aven Shore tells listeners about performing FRONTIER by Grace Curtis. The genre-bending queer sci-fi Western follows The Stranger, who has crash landed on a post-apocalyptic Earth and begins the long journey to reunite with her love.

"It's a hero's journey, and there's a nod to Agatha Christie, and there's this one big thematic literal inversion that comments on our belief systems that the listener can discover for themselves. It's so good!"—Narrator Aven Shore

Aven Shore offers a deft, versatile, immersive performance. After crashing, The Stranger encounters a train car murder mystery, a quest to deliver a drug-toting tortoise, a run-in with a seasoned con woman, a shoot-out with a deadly assassin. All the while, a ruthless gunslinging sheriff’s deputy is on the Stranger’s heels, itching for a standoff. Despite the Stranger’s mysterious background, Shore’s powerful narration makes listeners feel like they know—have always known—the depths of this nameless traveler. Equally funny, tragic, hopeful, and romantic, Shore’s performance is an absolute must-listen.
