THE BLACK ORB

Earl T. Kim performs a sci-fi story about an orb that appears in Seoul and absorbs any human it touches. Jeong-su watches as his neighbor is taken and somehow made to split, multiply, and spread across South Korea. Jeong-su is not a hero, but he's driven to reach and protect his elderly parents. Kim shifts among colorful voices that never edge into comical extremes. As the crisis mounts and the unstoppable force brings out the worst in humanity, Kim's earnest narration keeps the horror coming. Dark intrigue, an unusual narrative, and ear-catching voices combine for an exciting audiobook. J.M.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
