Well, that was a thing. I'm not sure I'm quite bright enough to know what was actually going on here. But the words and descriptions were nice. It was a quick listen.

I’ve had this sitting open on tor.com for awhile, and I somehow kept skipping over it. I found out that Vikas Adams did the audio recording, though (I am slightly obsessed with him), and I am really happy I decided to listen instead of just read. His voice was perfect for Vandermeer’s writing. Anyway. This was equally as weird and spooky as what you would expect. Not sure why the low ratings.
