🎧 In some ways this was a simple format executed flawlessly. It’s a (mainly) one-narrator performance by the utterly charming Seth Numrich. He’s likeable, expressive, and all the good things. No notes.

🎧 One aspect that I found so innovative and evocative was the use of sound effects. Nothing frivolous or distracting. Just the odd one here or there at just the right moments, and always employed to add to the sense of magic or foreboding. It was, in a word, masterful.

🎧 And let’s not forget the fun and games when Stephen King performs his cameo. This too incorporates a sound effect of sorts, emulating the rough quality of a tape recording. It was very atmospheric and lifted the whole section. Loved the performance and the production of it. Haven’t mentioned details in case it counts as a spoiler.

🎧 One thing: I’d have liked the audiobook chapter subheadings to reflect the lists in the paper/hardback versions.
