What to expect

Read by Sosie Bacon, Jeremy Bobb and Kyle Beltran

From the author of the horror sensations We Used to Live Here and The Caretaker comes a deliciously bingeable and perfectly unsettling audio collection of three brand new short stories, taking listeners all the way from a nightmarish flight through unfriendly skies to a submarine in the darkest depths of the ocean . . .

In Please Remain Seated, a young woman misses her flight home, and in her desperation to rebook, accepts a ticket on an airline she’s never heard of. And then discovers she is the only passenger . . .

Backroads opens with a car crash. Somewhere deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, a disoriented driver spins out off the road after hitting . . . something. Calling out to offer help, what he finds is not a creature in need, but a dangerous, inexplicable predator, and a life-or-death chase begins.

And Anomaly brings listeners on a deep-sea expedition: a first-time diver joins an experienced crew on what should be a simple mission – before all goes horribly wrong . . .

“The way I blasted through this audiobook was insane! Honestly we are talking earphones in, do not disturb on, and volunteering to go for a drive just to listen!” – NetGalley reviewer

“This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this! My only thing is that I wish it was longer as I was just enjoying it so much. Listening to it was such a different experience for me and it made it all the more creepier.” – NetGalley Reviewer

“I absolutely loved 'Please Remain Seated' it was fantastic. Eerie, tense, proper 'make your arm hairs stand up' kind of stuff - SO, SO good in audio as a horror book. No notes.” – NetGalley Reviewer

This collection of stories, all never before published, is the first original audiobook by Marcus Kliewer – hailed ‘a titan of the macabre and unsettling’ by the New York Times bestselling Erin A. Craig.
