EAT THE ONES YOU LOVE

Narrators Lauren O'Leary and Barry McStay deliver a chilling performance of this horror audiobook about a possessive orchid and the humans it wants to consume. Shell's life has fallen off the rails, and a job helping at a local flower shop, owned by the beautiful florist Neve, is exactly the change of pace she wants. O'Leary seamlessly delivers Irish and American accents, depicting Neve's ex-girlfriend with precision as she grows more suspicious of the mysterious plant's influence. McStay voices Baby, the orchid, by adopting a callous, judgmental voice as he describes the thoughts and actions of the humans around him, speaking primarily in an Irish accent. An immersive, spooky overlap of voices near the end cleverly captures Baby's slow exertion of influence upon another human. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
