Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Cynthia Farrell's narration is the perfect vehicle for Preston's intricate and chilling narrative. Her delivery is both controlled and intense, making each chapter feel as though you're listening to an ancient curse being whispered into existence. The story itself is a thrilling blend of archaeology and horror, with plot twists that are both unexpected and satisfying. However, some listeners might find the pacing slightly slow in parts, which can be challenging during quieter moments. Despite this, 'Badlands' remains a compelling listen, especially for fans of Preston’s work or those who enjoy stories where the supernatural intertwines with real-world mysteries.
