"Cat Person" and Other Stories

In this often twisted short story collection, the talented narrators capture the willful discomfort of women as they destroy others or find themselves destroyed. The performances have an anxiously expectant tone that keeps the listener wondering where each story is headed. The authors' sometimes surreal works are blessed with the talents of many familiar voices, including the well-known Aubrey Plaza, from "Parks and Recreation." Plaza's deadpan tone captures the detachment of a couple who find that their sexual desires lead to a destructive game with their accidental roommate. The audiobook also includes powerful performances by Will Damron, Jayme Mattler, and Amy Ryan, along with several others, including author Kristen Roupenian herself.
