Please note this audiobook contains strong language and content that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.

As they recount the events surrounding the disappearance of their toddler—one with a tendency to bite—two parents cope with grief in vastly different ways. While the father wrestles with feelings of guilt, the mother is convinced she’s spotted the boy in frightening TV news reports...though let’s just say he looks nothing like the precocious little boy they remember from a decade ago. A heart-pounding, psychological journey of unimaginable proportions thrillingly brought to life by Arian Moayed, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and Stephanie Hsu (as a young doctor in the midst of disaster), James Fritz’s Skyscraper Lullaby is a haunting examination of the ways we cope with tragedy, complicity, and remorse… or the lack thereof.

Playwright James Fritz was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop Skyscraper Lullaby.

Sound design and composition by Max Perryment.

Editorial Review

Uncompromising and fantastic
As a rule, I don't do horror, but I was intrigued by the premise of this one so I went for it and within minutes I was hooked. (My dog got an extra-long walk out of this one-and-done listening binge!) An Audible Emerging Playwrights' commission from James Fritz, this experimental piece employs audacious storytelling and sophisticated sound engineering to create a horrific but also incredibly beautiful production. Amid the backdrop of madness and horror there's so much humanity here. The father in the story is 100 percent Nick in Gone Girl. He's guileless but untrustworthy, with that “aw shucks, who me?” quality that’s both enraging and endearing. And the two women in the story are so recognizable, so sympathetic—even if their stories push the boundaries of believability—that your heart will hurt for them. My verdict: Skyscraper Lullaby is the most bizarre and compelling thing I've listened to all year. I love that this story didn’t hold back, it just went for it. And so should you. —Emily C., Audible Editor

At first, as you’re listening, you might think, as I did that this is a ridiculous, modern-day, fairytale, and who, in heavens name could ever believe any of it. But by the end, you may, as I did, and hopefully the author intended, to recognize it as a statement of the times we are living in. definitely worth a listen. I enjoyed it, and it made me think.

A great allegory for our times

It’s actually been a long time since I was actually scared of a horror anything I feel as if a lot of horror is drawn more into comedy than actually making the audience member scared now this terrified me ,the sound design, the acting ,the story, some scary shit.

Holy crap now that is horror

This is a good listen, an interesting story that will leave you wondering whose account is correct, and wanting more. I found it well worth my time.

Take a Chance

I loved this. It’s somehow a modern fairy tale and super-realistic story about parenting. And the acting was amazing: Arian Moayed (Stewy from Succession!!) and Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once). Can’t recommend enough.

Such a gripping, addictive listen!

Yikes. Weird. I’m not even sure how someone could have come up with this story. Mushrooms…?

What the heck did I just listen to?

Love that Audible is supporting an emerging writer who's tackling the zeitgeist (end times anxiety, parental neuroses) with a sci-fi spin. Outlandish and suitably over-the-top.

The Parent Trap?

Like the headline says, this story is so far-fetched it is 100% unbelievable. And yet, it was amazing. The cast did a wonderful job at keeping my attention through the entire book. Way to go!

It was so ridiculous, I five starred.
