Are You Even Human: Volume 1

About This Audiobook

Are You Even Human: Volume 1 throws readers into a world unmoored—where the moon’s mysterious hatching in 2025 sets off a chain reaction of chaos, superhuman mutations, and interdimensional annihilation. Natalie Maher doesn’t ease you in; she drops you into the fray with jagged, poetic prose and a narrative that thrives on emotional volatility. This isn’t just sci-fi with powers and monsters—it’s a story about fractured identity, survival guilt, and what it means to be human when the rules of reality are rewriting themselves daily. The LGBTQ+ themes aren’t tacked on; they’re woven into the characters’ cores, shaping their choices in a world that no longer recognizes boundaries of any kind. Sarah Beth Pfeifer’s narration is a revelation—raw, urgent, and unafraid to embrace the book’s tonal extremes. She gives each character a distinct emotional signature, from trembling vulnerability to defiant snark, grounding the surreal elements in palpable humanity. Her pacing mirrors the story’s escalating tension, knowing when to linger on a quiet, introspective moment and when to rocket forward in breathless intensity. The audiobook’s immersive soundscape—subtle but effective—adds depth without overshadowing the performance. This is speculative fiction that demands to be felt, not just heard, and Pfeifer delivers it like a whispered confession in the dark.
