Walking Alone

An ensemble of narrators approaches Little's work by turns, bringing a variety of characters into the fold and helping listeners differentiate between settings. Little takes everyday events and environments like road trips and suburban neighborhoods and adds twisted, violent, or supernatural elements, resulting in bizarre and inventive pieces that range from slightly unnerving to deeply disturbing. The narrators bring out the different styles of the stories, highlighting innocent, determined, and sinister characters, while the precision and empathy in their delivery serves to make Little's stories intimate, unsettling, and visceral. Listeners will be drawn into Little's work even as their feelings of dread or unease grow throughout the collection. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
