About This Audiobook
When residents at Autumn Springs Retirement Home begin dying under suspicious circumstances, septuagenarian Rose DuBois refuses to accept these deaths as mere accidents of old age. What starts as concern for departed friends quickly escalates into a deadly game of cat and mouse as Rose and her companion Miller uncover evidence of a methodical killer stalking the halls of their supposedly peaceful facility. Fracassi transforms the retirement home setting into a claustrophobic hunting ground where walkers become weapons and pill dispensers hide sinister secrets.
January LaVoy delivers a masterful performance that captures both the vulnerability and steely determination of Rose's unconventional final girl. Her nuanced portrayal brings authentic gravitas to the elderly residents while maintaining the story's darkly comedic undertones. LaVoy's pacing builds tension expertly through whispered conversations and sudden bursts of violence, making each creak of the facility's floors feel ominous through headphones. The narrator's ability to shift seamlessly between moments of genuine pathos and shocking brutality elevates Fracassi's subversive take on slasher fiction into a gripping audio experience.
