Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'Seven Empty Houses' is like stepping into a shadowy nightmare. The narration by Yareli Arizmendi, Gisela Chipe, Ines del Castillo, Daisy Guevara, Lee Osorio, Elena Rey, and Victoria Villarreal is impeccable; each voice perfectly conveys the tension and unease of Schweblin’s prose. However, a few stories feel slightly disjointed in their pacing, which can disrupt the overall eerie atmosphere. Despite this minor critique, the anthology's ability to make your heart race and your skin crawl is undeniable. A must-listen for fans of short, impactful horror fiction.
