About this listen

 Something is punishing the people of Roanoke with blood...if you have sinned, beware. 1587, North Carolina: Agnes is a reluctant settler in Roanoke, forced to leave England with her preacher husband, Thomas, in search of a better life. But the first colony failed, and Agnes fears this one will suffer the same fate: lack of resources, frigid cold, starvation. So when a series of ritualistic murders occur in the colony, Agnes finally feels connected to a purpose: to find the monster and protect her community. That is, until people suspect that witchcraft is to blame, and question Agnes’ childlessness as well as her connection to the dead. As the killings escalate and the colony teeters on the edge of ruin, Agnes must go to impossible lengths to save herself— or she will burn. Roanoke Falls is a Realm Production written by Laura Purcell and executive produced by John Carpenter and Sandy King Carpenter. Listen Away.

I could not help but to feel vicariously the protaginist's (I hope that is spelled correctly) emotions. That may be a trigger
sometimes but to recognize a work of art you have to feel it,not just listen,read, view it. If every element of it ties together
it sings out and grabs you. This puritanical part of my possible ancestors has always angered me but it exists all the same.
I am from North Carolina and sad to say there are still (in 2025) places up here in these mountains where that clanish,
fanatical scourge still thres. The music as well was spot on. Gave me chills and held me in my place until the story
started. And John Carpenter! What an honor to work with him you must have felt. Sorry for the wordiness. I was raised
by strong women. Even in fiction I know one when I hear one!

Huzzah Agnes!!

I loved the story, voices, all of it! It's gory and gross and it's just too bad it wasn't longer.

Really good!

It was a unique story and performed very well. Although on the shorter side, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Very Good short story

The writing was weak. The performances were pretty good but the story was weak. There was no real character development. Needed to be fleshed out more.
