Reviews
"STRANGE" IS INADEQUATE
AVID READER
Undeniably imaginative, it is, as one comment states, creepy. The author does manage to tidy up the tale at the end, but he leaves far too many loose ends (the keyholes for example). Nevertheless, it is a good read.
very good group of readers
Ms. Elizabeth
2018 I forgot how queer this story was. It gave me the creeps several times. The readers are great. The recording on the last chapter has a hollow, tinny sound.
Not bad
KAB
Not a bad stories. Most readers did a good job. It might help future listeners to know that each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character in the story.
