What to expect

Read by Sosie Bacon, Jeremy Bobb and Kyle Beltran

From the author of the horror sensations We Used to Live Here and The Caretaker comes a deliciously bingeable and perfectly unsettling audio collection of three brand new short stories, taking listeners all the way from a nightmarish flight through unfriendly skies to a submarine in the darkest depths of the ocean . . .

In Please Remain Seated, a young woman misses her flight home, and in her desperation to rebook, accepts a ticket on an airline she’s never heard of. And then discovers she is the only passenger . . .

Backroads opens with a car crash. Somewhere deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, a disoriented driver spins out off the road after hitting . . . something. Calling out to offer help, what he finds is not a creature in need, but a dangerous, inexplicable predator, and a life-or-death chase begins.

And Anomaly brings listeners on a deep-sea expedition: a first-time diver joins an experienced crew on what should be a simple mission – before all goes horribly wrong . . .

This collection of stories, all never before published, is the first original audiobook by Marcus Kliewerhailed ‘a titan of the macabre and unsettling’ by the New York Times bestselling Erin A. Craig.
