About this listen

 Experience first-hand the dramatic ebb and flow of emotion as classic literature is transformed into the world of your imagination like never before. In To Build a Fire, the listener journeys alongside a hungry man and his loyal dog through the vast, bleak tundra of Alaska's Yukon Trail...a landscape so cold, time itself appears to have frozen in place.

Grand musical themes with flowing melodies and dynamic rhythms support the story. Intense, stunning atmospheres of dark, sonic textures abound. Drums and percussion fill the background as rich, symphonic movements rise and fall, teleporting the listener to a foreign yet strangely familiar land. A compelling and captivating listening experience, both dramatic and introspective...and ultimately inescapable!

It's an excellently written short story and the voice performance was really good! I was surprised by how scary a seemingly simple book can be just by how it's paced and themed.

Great horror for a book. Was on edge the whole time.
