A note from the author:

Storyteller, actor, audiobook narrator, poet, singer, songwriter, screenwriter, podcast creator, and all-around lovely soul Boyd Barrett surprised me with an audio performance of my short story, The Reverend. It is astonishingly good!

Boyd Barrett’s performance is so good, in fact, that it brought out nuances and interpretations of The Reverend that even I had not been aware of. The Reverend is a companion piece to my latest book, Unseen Existences.

I urge you to give this audio performance of The Reverend a listen. And please share it with others.
