Alexandra Wood
It’s Christmas Eve, and Lara anxiously anticipates the arrival of her sister, Cleo, so she can reveal a shocking family secret that has been haunting Lara since their mother’s death. By confronting revelations about their grandfather’s shameful past, Lara is hopeful that she and Cleo can make reparations and exorcise this ghost from their lives. The ghost, however, won’t be appeased so easily....

Anyone who doesn’t like this story because it is a “jumbled mess,” something “without any kind of resolution,” etc., are likely young, poorly read, and/or blissfully ignorant of what this storyteller(s) is actually attempting to relate.
Anything more, would ruin what “that is,” but rest assured you’re in good hands. If it were that bad, the storyteller would not have received a grant to develop and distribute it on Audible, in the fantastic spatial audio formats.
Very clever

The audio is very good if you actually listen to the instructions in the introduction. Many complained about the sound quality being “up and down” and that at times they “had to lean in to hear”. Well if they had leaned a little closer during the Intro and actually listened they would have heard that this audio drama was recorded binaurally and is best listened to on headphones! Ironic they weren’t listening while listening to an audiobook.
As far as the story goes, at first blush this dramatization seems like a very simplistic yet confusing ghost story that just kind of happens, but the story is allegorical and I think that concept just flew over the head of many of the listeners that were critical of the story. When you realize it is allegory for a real life struggle many face, the story just comes alive in a very heart breaking and terrifying way. That’s as far as I go. I don’t want to give it away. Bravo!
