The Midnight Timetable

Greta Jung’s narration is the secret weapon of this audiobook, her delivery so precise it borders on hypnotic. She nails the uncanny balance between deadpan humor and creeping horror—especially in stories like *The Bath*, where her flat, clinical tone makes the supernatural elements feel all the more disturbing. The pacing is relentless, each story a punch to the gut with no room to breathe. That said, a couple of tales (*The Window* comes to mind) leave you wanting more resolution; Chung’s love for ambiguity can sometimes feel like a cop-out rather than a deliberate artistic choice. The production quality is top-notch, with subtle atmospheric sounds that never distract from the narration. If you’re here for jump scares or tidy endings, look elsewhere—but if you want horror that lingers like a half-remembered dream, this is your book. Jung’s performance elevates it from great to unforgettable, making the 4.5 hours fly by in a blur of unease.
