Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was immediately drawn to The Pelbunkin's unique blend of eerie atmosphere and childlike wonder. Stephen Hogan's performance is a key factor in the audiobook's success, bringing a depth and nuance to Benny's character that's both endearing and terrifying. One minor critique is that the pacing can feel a tad rushed at times, with Hogan's rapid-fire delivery occasionally sacrificing some of the narrative's emotional resonance. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent production.
