About this listen

The legendary writer Patricia Highsmith is best remembered today for her chilling psychological thrillers The Talented Mr. Ripley and Strangers on a Train. A critically acclaimed, best-selling author in Europe, Highsmith has for too long been underappreciated in the United States.

Eleven is Highsmith's first collection of short stories, an arresting group of dark masterpieces of obsession and foreboding, violence and instability. Here naturalists meet gruesome ends and unhinged heroes disturb our sympathies. This is a captivating, important collection from "one of the truly brilliant short-story writers of the 20th century" (Otto Penzler). Includes an introduction by Graham Greene.

5 stars aren’t enough for Patricia Highsmith. Getting being indifferent to snails, which I liked too much:)

I thought the reader had the perfect voice and pacing for these stories and I enjoyed most of them. Some were just a little too creepy for me!

Deliciously creepy

This was an excellent selection of short and creepy stories by one of the masters of horror, Each one of them enough to send shivers down your spine. Very good choice of narrator. I thought he nicely fit the bill for these types of stories.

Excellent Selection!

it seems to me that these particular short stories aren't meant to be complete. They made methink and sort of creep me out a little bit. But I liked most of them and I think Highsmith has a very interesting imagination! 

I liked most of them

This is a fantastic collection of stories. They’re all different but have a common thread of unsettling eeriness running through them. I found it curious that two of the stories dealt with murderous snails and after a quick search discovered that Patricia Highsmith kept snails as a pet. A perfect fit for this collection.

Eerie Tension

I hope that more people will read Patricia’s books, not just Ripley. Because they are all fantastic !!! I can’t get enough of them!!!!!

EVERYTHING !!!!!

While some of these stories have interesting themes, there are no actual endings to any of them. They just continue the end of the story, with no finale or any satisfaction. Most of the time I wasn’t even aware of the switch to the beginning of the next story. They seem like just some musings or unfinished ideas. Decent narration.

Meh

I think I would’ve liked this better and enjoyed the stories more if the narrator hadn’t been so monotonous.

Mediocre narration
