Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Micah Hanks' narration is a standout feature of 'Doctoring the Devil'. His slow, deliberate pace feels almost hypnotic, perfectly suited to the often ritualistic nature of the material. He masterfully captures the cadence of Appalachian speech, making the listening experience feel authentic and immersive. The stories themselves are fascinating, a mix of history, folklore, and anthropology that kept me hooked. However, some of the more academic sections can feel a bit dense at times, breaking the spell of the storytelling. Overall, though, 'Doctoring the Devil' is a unique and captivating listen that offers a rare glimpse into a little-known world.
