Weird Wasatch

About This Audiobook

CJ Workman’s *Weird Wasatch* isn’t just another paranormal anthology—it’s a love letter to Utah’s eerie underbelly, where legends slither behind the red rock and folklore feels uncomfortably real. These nine stories blend folklore, sci-fi, and dark fantasy into a cohesive thread that celebrates (and exploits) the state’s unique mystique. From cryptid sightings in the Uintas to government conspiracies hiding in plain sight, Workman’s knack for regional flavor elevates these tales beyond generic supernatural fare. The prose is sharp, the pacing brisk, and the worldbuilding immersive, making it easy to suspend disbelief—even when the stories flirt with absurdity.

Michael T. Bradley’s narration is the secret weapon here, giving each tale a distinct voice without resorting to gimmicks. His dry, conversational tone sells the absurd as matter-of-fact, whether recounting a UFO abduction or a cursed mining town. The audiobook’s sound design is minimal but effective, using subtle ambient cues to enhance immersion without drowning out the storytelling. It’s a masterclass in how to elevate regional horror—accessible for newcomers, but layered enough for locals to nod along at the inside jokes.
