Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Listening to 'Skinned' was like stepping into a horror film. Virtual Voice's narration is eerily calm, which only serves to heighten the chilling details of Gein's crimes. The pacing is excellent, building tension like a well-crafted thriller. However, some of the more gruesome details could have been handled with a bit more sensitivity. Overall, it's a compelling listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it's definitely not for the squeamish.
