About this listen

Nature offers sanctuary for a woman with a violent past. But anything can happen when borderlands are crossed in a short story about the menace next door by a New York Times bestselling author.

Sam has retreated to her late father’s rental house, a safe place to commune with the animals in the greenbelt out back, tend to her garden, and keep her secrets. Her sense of security slowly returns - until an aggressive neighbor from the other side of the ravine fells a tree on her property. How little he regards nature. Or understands its darkness. How little he knows Sam.

Jeff VanderMeer’s Wildlife is part of Trespass, a collection of wild stories about animal instincts, human folly, and survival from award-winning, bestselling authors. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.

Hmm idk

I hate to give anything by JVM less than a 5 star, but I just didn't get this story. Annihilation was confusing the first time i read it, but the 2nd time I loved it.

Foreboding psychological thriller (short story)

A woman inherits her father's house in a remote town and faces off with a creepy neighbor. The narrator was perfect in expressing the rising sense of being trapped in a home that used to be a refuge.

Gripping story

I’ve not read anything by Vandermeer that I didn’t love. This being no exception. I really enjoyed this story and loved the emotion portrayed by the narrator!

Mysterious!

This was good. Good narration as well. It's different than what I normally listen to, but it held my attention, kept me alert, wondering what was next. Good job. Thank you.

it's free

I know not to expect much when you get free audio! The narrator was good. The story was not very good. As with the other free audios,they start out good and end up wonder.ing what the heck is that!

Awesome, but unknowable?

This story was gripping, but I would love to understand the ending in more detail.
