Jon Padgett's The Secret of Ventriloquism, named the Best Fiction Book of 2016 by Rue Morgue Magazine, heralds the arrival of a significant new literary talent. With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti, and Bruno Schulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Padgett's work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence, and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both.

The precise edge I wanted
Revisado: 09-20-21
I am nearly speechless. This is precisely the book I hoped I was purchasing. Let it be known that it is indeed open ended and highly speculative, but it is beautiful. TSOV is perfect for those with highly active, vivid imaginations; also for those with any interest in the void and nihilistic philosophies.
It’s exceedingly difficult for me to choose a favorite story, but The Indoor Swamp is the one I am still ruminating on the most. Excellent work weaving the stories together in ways that are not impossible to follow, but also not so easy as to be predictable. I will be spending a lot of time reflecting on these stories and pulling out all of my favorite quotes…
10/10 HIGHLY recommend for erudite horror lovers.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 454
On July 14th, 1966, Richard Franklin Speck swept through a quiet Chicago townhouse like a summer tornado and stabbed, strangled, and killed eight young nurses in a violent sexual rampage. By morning, only one nurse, Corazon Amurao, had miraculously survived, and her scream of terror was heard around the world. As the eight bodies were carried out of the small building, the coroner, who had seen the carnage up close, told a gathering crowd: "It is the crime of the century!"

Excellent and Extensive Coverage of the Speck Trial
Revisado: 01-14-21
Overall this book was excellent — content and performance I like. I now have an unanticipated need to listen to more by this voice actor.
The trial content is unmatched. As a lay Speck expert I am happy to confirm that. I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that there are some blatant dramatizations of Speck and a LOT of his young life has been completely glazed over. That can be addressed in other publications, however.
For the purposes of the trial and its impact this book is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in criminal law and trial tactics. If you are more interested in Speck’s psychopathology there are other more thorough resources that are not so heavily and explicitly hedged against any possibility he might be anything other than a pure and detestable monster.
High praise to the narrator, I look forward to finding more by her.
