I think I understand what this was trying to do, it just wasn't successful for me.

This is a very short audiobook, but I had to keep rewinding because I wasn't engaging with the story or the characters. The narration is well done, but since the characters feel a bit flat, that does come through in the narration.

Still, I think it's a good premise and maybe other readers will get more out of it.

Where do I start?
Dead Animals looks pretty mundane with its pretty coloured cover and interesting title but once you get started, you will not be able to stop.
The writing is so simple, yet so gripping and the suspense and intrigue that builds leaves your skin crawling.
Stuckes has written an incredible short horror and I wish I could read it again for the first time. The violence of the novel is balanced with wit and an almost self-conscious innocence that drawers you in and keeps you hooked.

The narrator was also a great fit, such a calming voice narrating such eery horror!

Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for the audio ARC

This book will captivate you with its gorgeous cover (hello pink + green, millennial dream) and intriguing title. Once you start, you won't be able to put it down, Get ready to be creeped out! For fans of Rouge and Natural Beauty.

Anna Burnett is an engaging narrator who brought the unnamed narrator to life and I would happily listen to an audiobook narrated by Anna in the future.
