Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jones' narration is a standout feature of 'Lullabies for Suffering'. She effortlessly embodies each character, from the desperate addict to the jaded enabler, bringing a chilling authenticity to Kepnes' raw, unflinching prose. The stories themselves are a mixed bag, with some ('The Old Country', 'You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know') standing out for their emotional depth and unexpected twists. However, a few others ('A Year and a Day', 'The Movie in Her Head') feel more like sketches than fully realized tales. The pacing is uneven, with some stories racing to their grim conclusions while others linger painfully. Despite these minor critiques, 'Lullabies for Suffering' is a powerful, if harrowing, listen that will stay with you long after the final story ends.
