WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD

Aidan Lockwood's self-effacing first-person narrative is memorably delivered by Michael Crouch. Though this story's setting is rural and familiar, Aidan's family has secrets and grudges far beyond the ordinary. With even, unrushed pacing, Crouch highlights the characters' emotions. The main focus of the story is the relationship between Aidan and his friend, Jarrod, as well as Aidan's relationship with his strange family, especially his mother. The story is sometimes slow in developing, but Crouch's ability to build tension and depict the details of the relationships adds suspense to the supernatural threat, thereby increasing the listener's engagement.
