SOMETHING IN THE WALLS

Ana Clements performs an engrossing story about a child psychologist, Mina, who investigates the haunting of a girl named Alice in the English countryside. A handsome journalist offers to bring Mina to the tiny town where Alice claims to be haunted by a witch. Clements imbues the characters with vibrant accents and embodies Mina with engaging earnestness. Clements also plays with volume to interesting effect--dropping to a whisper to command attention. As much of the story is told through Mina's recollections and thoughts, Clements switches between a steadfast narration and growing horror with a keen ear. Her commanding narration pulls listeners along for the creepy ride. J.M.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2025]
