Christopher Ragland delivers a story featuring three unreliable narrators, all keeping secrets. The shifting tale suggests that no one can be trusted. Ted is a broken man who spends his nights drinking and struggling with his fractured memory; his daughter Lauren, who isn't allowed outside; and their family cat, Olivia, who reads the Bible and prays. Ragland's boyish voice adds to the unsettling nature of the story. His performance of Olivia the cat stands out as he perfectly captures the unique voice of a devout cat with aspirations of fame. Ragland’s story is a discomforting listen that is difficult to pause. J.M.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive read perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House.
In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.
A teenage girl who isn't allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.
An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
“The new face of literary dark fiction.” -Sarah Pinborough
