HOW WE DISAPPEAR Novella & Stories

Six talented narrators work together to deliver these immersive short stories, which explore the lasting effect of absence or disappearance upon people's lives. Each well-crafted story evokes a particular place and time, and highlights strongly imagined characters. In the arresting "What You Can't See in the Picture,'' Siiri Scott heightens the tension as she depicts the meticulous work of a police "super recognizer" who searches video images to identify the abductor of a 10-year-old girl. In "Fleeing Gravity," Shaun Taylor-Corbett portrays the fully realized world of Brandy, who works in a ghost town attraction after the loss of his parents. In the moving "Delight," Kyla Garcia transports listeners to Puerto Rico to witness an unexpected romance between a candy shop owner and a tenderhearted surfer.
