Book description
Cosmo's breath hitched as he pushed through the rusted gate, the Clarissa Frayne Institute's fluorescent glare vanishing behind him. That's the moment you realize The Supernaturalist isn't just a story-it's a heartbeat you feel in your bones, delivered through an audiobook that pulls you straight into Satellite City's grimy, humming reality. Eoin Colfer's world, part Blade Runner neon and part Dickensian despair, comes alive not through description, but through sound: the crackle of a failing city grid, the guttural shouts of guards, the unsettling hiss of parasites just out of sight.
The narrator, a voice layered with the right mix of urgency and weariness, makes Cosmo's escape visceral. You hear the scrape of his sneakers on wet pavement, the ragged gasps as he's pulled into the shadows by the Supernaturalists-a ragtag group who see the same monstrous parasites feeding on humanity's life force. Their leader, a girl named Kip, speaks with a quiet authority that crackles over the audio, her voice a lifeline in the chaos. You don't just learn about their mission; you feel the weight of their nightly hunts, the way the city's darkness seems to pulse with danger.
What elevates this audiobook beyond the page is how it handles the twist. As Cosmo and the Supernaturalists dig deeper, the truth about their purpose unravels-not with a bang, but with a chilling whisper. The narrator's subtle shift in tone here is masterful, turning a high-stakes chase into something profoundly unsettling. You lean in, not just to hear the next line, but to process the implications echoing in the silence between words.
The supporting cast-like the quiet, observant boy who sees the parasites' true forms-get their moments through voice alone, their personalities shaped by cadence and pause. The sound design is subtle but brilliant: distant sirens, the shush of a parasite dissolving, the frantic rhythm of a chase. You're not just listening; you're inside the world, the city's decay and hope woven into every sound.
By the end, when Cosmo confronts the horrifying secret, the audiobook doesn't just tell you it's devastating-it makes you feel the ground shift beneath you. The narrator's calm delivery of the revelation hits harder than any dramatic flourish. You're left not just with a story, but with the lingering echo of a question: What if everything you fought for was a lie?
This isn't just a dystopian adventure. It's a meticulously crafted audio experience where every whisper, gasp, and shadowed step pulls you deeper into a world that feels terrifyingly real. You'll find yourself pausing the audiobook just to sit with the weight of it, already craving the next chapter. A perfect storm of voice, sound, and story-this is how dystopian should be heard.
