An Immersive Experience
Reviewed: 11-19-15
This production gets so many things right - it makes the audio drama genre relevant to modern ears. You will not find unnecessary dialogue describing the action - you will feel it viscerally (especially with great headphones/buds). All six of Hill and Garcia's Locke and Key graphic novels are presented together here as audio movies; each episode could stand alone, but it is much more fun to binge listen! A little bit of advice if this is your first experience listening to a full production like this - give it your full attention for the first half hour or so. Allow your ears and imagination acclimate to this style of storytelling, and then enjoy the ride!

Would you consider the audio edition of Molly Danger to be better than the print version?
I haven't seen the print version, but the full-cast recording is so vivid that to read the print version now might be a letdown.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Molly Danger?
The interactions among the characters are really well done. I particularly enjoyed Robin Miles' performance.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It's so much more than narration, or even full-cast narration. It really is a movie minus picture. Be prepared to feel disoriented at first - sound effects can be very, very , um, present - but when you get used to the sound design and the overall pacing, it is a total thrill ride.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I hadn't planned to listen to Molly Danger in one sitting, but time just kind of flew.
Any additional comments?
Stay close to your listening device's volume control, at least until your ears become accustomed to the richness of the sound. Some of the effects can be alarming.
