Beneath the Skin

Private investigator Sam Hunter prowls the shadowy streets of a city where supernatural threats lurk behind everyday facades. As a benandanti, an ancient breed of werewolf dedicated to fighting darkness, Sam operates between two worlds, using both his investigative skills and preternatural abilities to protect those who cannot protect themselves. His cases draw him into a web of genetic experiments, otherworldly predators, and malevolent forces that prey on the innocent, forcing him to confront enemies that conventional law enforcement could never handle.

Ray Porter delivers a masterful performance that captures Sam's gruff exterior and hidden vulnerability with remarkable nuance. His voice work seamlessly shifts between the protagonist's internal monologue and the diverse cast of characters inhabiting Maberry's urban fantasy landscape. Porter's pacing heightens the tension during supernatural encounters while allowing quieter character moments to breathe naturally. The relatively compact runtime keeps the narrative taut, making this collection of interconnected cases particularly well-suited for audio consumption, where Porter's atmospheric delivery transforms each investigation into an immersive nocturnal journey through a world where monsters are real.
