About this listen
The wolf is roaming the city in this Bram Stoker Award-winning tale, and he must be stopped.
Grim Marie knows far too much about the wolves of the world, a world where little girls go missing. After all, she had married one before he showed his claws, and what that wolf did to her little girl was unforgiveable. Grim Marie isn't certain if she can ever forgive herself for putting her Little Aleta in harm's way.
When Grandmother becomes ill, Aleta offers to take the bus through the concrete forest to Grandmother's house to bring her some goodies. She knows the way. What could possibly go wrong?
In this modern-day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf takes to the city streets to capture his prey, but the hunter is close behind him. With Grim Marie on the prowl, the hunter becomes the hunted. Wolves pad through the darkest kind of fairy tale - one that can come true.

Story
The dense Michigan forest. Haunting wails. The clip-clop of demon hooves on a bridge to nowhere. It’s more than a tall tale to Brenda Jennings, whose sister disappeared in those woods one fateful night. Three years later, on a solo stakeout in the dark, Brenda goes in after her. She’s desperate for answers, and terrified to find what lies waiting on the other side of that bridge.

One hot summer night, Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a séance. Their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors. Over the next few weeks, Fernanda starts acting strangely—smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rose thorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon, but Lourdes suspects it's something else—something far more ancient and powerful.

So she runs away to Portero, Texas, in search of a new home. But Portero is a stranger town than Hanna expects. She discovers secrets that would terrify any normal soul. Good thing for Hanna, she's far from normal. As this crazy girl meets an even crazier town, only two things are certain: Anything can happen, and no one is safe.

Story
It was a big lie. The biggest lie she’d ever told. It reverberated through her head as she said it, ringing eerily. “Are you in love with Noah, Mercedes?” Cora asked. “I mean...I know you love him. You’ve been friends forever. We all have. But are you in love with him?” If it had been anyone else - anyone - Mercedes would have stuck out her chest, folded her skinny arms, and let her feelings be known. She would have claimed him. But it was Cora. Brave, beautiful, broken Cora, and Cora loved Noah too. So Mercedes lied. And with that lie, she lost him.

An extraordinary debut novel, Freshwater explores the surreal experience of having a fractured self. It centers around a young Nigerian woman, Ada, who develops separate selves within her as a result of being born "with one foot on the other side". Unsettling, heart-wrenching, dark, and powerful, Freshwater is a sharp evocation of a rare way of experiencing the world, one that illuminates how we all construct our identities. Ada begins her life in the south of Nigeria as a troubled baby and a source of deep concern to her family.

A Vigilante Thriller With An Unexpected Ending
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would recommend to a friend. I like that is was short and emotionally packed. It is easy to listen to in less than a week's worth of driving to and from work.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the emotional bond built with the main character Marie and her journey of becoming a wolf to find her daughters killer.
Have you listened to any of Joe Hempel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to The Bridge Chronicles series performed by Joe Hempel. He does an excellent job with this book and is on par with past performances.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The exchanges between Marie and her incarcerated pedophile ex-husband was an interesting and unexpected emotional development.
Any additional comments?
This book is a good listen. I would've given it five stars but what put me off just a tiny bit was the extensive descriptions of Marie's emotions and thoughts. It was very artistic but I personally found it a bit distracting to the story flow on more than one occasion. That's just me though. Maybe you'd love it. The ending is great and unexpected. Totally didn't see it coming. I look forward to more works by Mercedes Yardley. She's on my radar now.

Grim tale with even narration
Mercedes Yardley has one of the loveliest, sweetest way of writing. At once whimsical, ethereal and direct, it easily transports the reader into the worlds she effortlessly weaves. What makes this all the more interesting is the hidden corners of mankind she so often depicts. Her prose contrasts with the dark subject matter, which at once brings a style of storytelling reminiscent of Tim Burton or Hayao Miyazaki. However, Mrs. Yardley's tales are generally more anchored in the possible than the fantastic. Her fairy tales are layered, and often don't come with happy endings.
Little Dead Red is a dark read, with only a few minor nods to its titular inspiration. However, it moves quickly and invests the reader in the story of Grim Marie as she seeks a resolution that balances between justice and revenge. One of the story's strong points is helping the reader get into Marie's head, even if it's one of the last places the reader wants to be. Four stars for being thought provoking and engrossing. And perhaps greater than either, for making me more aware of my own surroundings in the event I can help a struggling Marie in the future.
I tend to shy away from audiobooks as I am quite picky with narration. The narrator here provides a solid, even performance that, unfortunately, wasn't for me. Once I became used to his cadence and emphasis, I was able to roll right into the story. That is, until any of the female characters spoke or he provided added emphasis by slowly and lowly ending a sentence. I get that it's part of the performance; it just wasn't a performance within my taste. Pickiness aside, it was serviceable, so a solid three stars.

Extremely grim, but wonderfully-written
As the title says, this story was extremely grim. It revolves around a woman whose 12 year old daughter was abducted, raped, killed and dismembered. Yeah, that grim. To make it worse, the daughter had already been dealing with the trauma of having been abused by her step father.
Our protagonist, Grim Marie, heads out to catch the wolf who killed her little red riding hood. She's done feeling sorry for herself and obsessing and decides to take matters into her own hands. What follows would be too spoilery to share, but suffice to say Marie proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how dedicated she is to her cause.
The author did a great job of revealing the past and present as well as relating Marie's state of mind through eloquent prose that sprinkled knowledge into your brain as it smoothly relayed events. Unfortunately for me, I felt it did TOO good of a job in many instances and left me feeling uncomfortable.
The narrator was more than adequate. While it took a little bit to ignore the stuffy-nose quality to his voice, he did an excellent job bringing Marie's world to life.
It's a short listen, so it might be better in a collection of stories or paid for outright vs spending a credit, but it was a good one. I would recommend it so long as the reader is aware of some more graphic subject matter.

HELL YES
Any additional comments?
It is a rare occasion when a horror book (or books in general, for that matter) successfully surprise me. "Little Dead Red" accomplished this difficult feat! Without spoiling any of the fun, I'll simply say, this is an astounding modern take on the Little Red Riding hood story, set squarely in the horror genre. I loved it. Would definitely read this again!!

Stay on the path...
OK so I did not know what I was getting myself into with this one.. I am one for happy stories and such. This was a curveball... Murder, injustice, desperation... a mothers love.. All the time this story tugs at your heart strings, bashing you with all the evil in this world and at the end when you are battered and bruised.... well, you will have to read to find out. I will say I listened to it as I was at work and did not want to turn it off, it had me wanting more and more information the whole time.. That being said, I say if you have the time and want an emotional roller coaster then check this book out. If you want a fairy tale where the lil girl is saved and her grandmother bakes her cookies... this is not the tale for you...

Dark take on Little Red Riding Hood
I was given this audio book free of charge so that I could listen and provide an honest review. Enjoyable short story which takes the somewhat dark tale of Little Red Riding Hood a step further into Darkness. Well written and Joe Hempel did a wonderful job of narrating even though the main character was female. Credit worthy listen!
