Summary

Get out of here, Joyce. Go home. You don't need bad news.

Joyce always had an uneasy feeling about her son, Michael. Serious baby, then a serious kid, then a serious grown-up. His large, dark eyes. He always kept everything inside. When he misses coming home for his birthday, Joyce believes the worst and takes a drive upstate, desperate to find him. What she finds will strain her sanity.

Intimate and unsettling, The Wolfs Mother Speaks is perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer, Victor LaValle, and Drew Magary. Ben Dolnick takes listeners on an unforgettable, hauntingly funny journey alongside a mother whose love takes many forms and a substantial body count.

THE VOICE OF GOD

In a recent NY Times article Edoardo Balleini was called the voice of god. A prolific narrator, his voice is incredible and he does not fail to deliver here. An unexpected werewolf story told from the mother's point of view, hence the title. It emphasizes the characters rather than the so called horror and tired cliches of the genre but still manages to be a page turner. Ballerini's characterisation of the straight talking and funny mother brings her vividly to life, he also manages to elicit a sympathy of her plight, the balance of the love for her son against the savagery of what he is. Overall a short, but packed story that is well worth adding to your library, especially as it is free at the moment.
