TRESPASS Take a Walk on the Wild Side

This collection of short stories spans genres from magical realism and survival fiction to Lovecraftian horror, the common factors being nature and a pervasive sense of unease. Starting off the collection is Moreno-Garcia's story, set during the Mexican Revolution and narrated by Cynthia Farrell, who employs a slight Spanish accent and conjures a determined protagonist. Next is VanderMeer's story, for which Jess Nahikian provides a thoughtful, quiet narration. Third is Graham Jones, with Charlotte Flyte narrating in a leisurely paced Native American cadence. Next is Russell's story, which is performed in a clear, casual manner by Adam Verner. Onyebuchi's story follows, with Joe Jameson providing a well-paced and reflective British-accented narration. Finally, Machado's account of children's "hand games" is performed in a reportorial tone by Frankie Corzo. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
