About this listen

A stand-alone paranormal murder mystery inspired by a disturbing true story....

Two years ago, Gloria Cline had the worst night of her life. A music festival deep in the woods near the Porcupine Mountains turned deadly when Gloria and her best friend, Wren, went for a night walk.

Twenty-four hours later, Gloria was found barely clinging to life with a horrific story of being abducted and nearly murdered.

No trace of Wren was ever found.

Today, Gloria has walled herself into a safe world that relies on routine and familiarity. She doesn’t leave her apartment—ever.

But somehow evil has gotten in....

When another young woman vanishes, Gloria realizes her hazy recollection of her own near-murder may hold the keys to finding the woman before she suffers a similar fate.

Don't miss this chilling paranormal murder mystery.

Though it seems to be a slow start, don't let that fool you. The story is laid out in a way that you might tell a child about death - carefully, slowly, not too detailed but just enough to understand the gravity of it. Light supernatural themes, not in your face, but still there enough to send shivers down your spine. The main character is relateable in that she is flawed, moments where you go "why don't you do this?" or "why didn't she say that?" but then you remember that she is a victim of trauma, she is human and therefore relatable, especially if one has been through trauma themselves.
At no point was I 100% sure who the perpetrator could be, and the ending revelations were more gasps and wide-mouth reactions than they were "uh huh" moments.
Finding out it was written in inspiration of actual circumstances made it all the more deep. Worth the listen to, the narrator does an amazing job at portraying the feelings of the characters.

not gripping, but seeping
