ALICE ISN'T DEAD

Even if you've never listened to the podcast on which this gripping production is based, fear not: Fink's audiobook is so effectively scary that it's easy to binge-listen to on its own. Throughout, Jasika Nicole's narration is effectively subtle. Keisha is searching for her wife, Alice, who is presumed dead. Her search requires scouring a landscape of dark highways, empty parking lots, dusty motel rooms, and untrustworthy law enforcement. Along her journey, she encounters a murderous entity that seems to know where she is at every turn. Fans of horror will appreciate the simplicity of the story's premise and the skill with which the suspense builds. Nicole's performance is tense, even chilling when appropriate--but with an underlying suggestion of hope. S.P.C.
