Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener who appreciates a good scare, I found 'The Cutting Room' to be an absolute gem. Alan Cumming's narration is nothing short of exceptional, his ability to switch between characters and capture their essence with just a change in tone or cadence is truly masterful. The story itself is a slow burn, but it's worth the wait as Welsh expertly builds tension, leading to a climax that's both shocking and satisfying. My only critique is that the pacing can feel slow at times, but this is a small price to pay for the rich, immersive listening experience it offers. If you're looking for a LGBTQ+ horror that's as thought-provoking as it is chilling, this is a must-listen.
