Please Remain Seated: Spine-chilling stories from the sky, land, and sea from the bestselling author of We Used to Live Here
About this audiobook
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 . . .
“The way I blasted through this audiobook was insane! Honestly we are talking earphones in, do not disturb on, and volunteering to go for a drive just to listen!” – NetGalley reviewer
“This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this! My only thing is that I wish it was longer as I was just enjoying it so much. Listening to it was such a different experience for me and it made it all the more creepier.” – NetGalley Reviewer
“I absolutely loved 'Please Remain Seated' it was fantastic. Eerie, tense, proper 'make your arm hairs stand up' kind of stuff - SO, SO good in audio as a horror book. No notes.” – NetGalley Reviewer
