Layla

Leeds believes he's found his soulmate in Layla until a violent attack nearly claims her life. Though she survives physically, the woman who emerges from the hospital seems fundamentally changed, leaving Leeds grasping for remnants of their former connection. Desperate to reclaim what they once shared, he takes Layla to the charming bed-and-breakfast where their love story began. But instead of healing, their retreat unleashes a series of disturbing and inexplicable events that challenge everything Leeds thought he knew about love, loss, and the boundaries between life and death.

Brian Pallino delivers a haunting performance that captures both the tender romance and creeping dread at the story's heart. His nuanced portrayal distinguishes each character while maintaining the intimate, confessional tone that draws listeners deep into Leeds' psychological turmoil. Pallino's pacing builds tension masterfully, allowing Hoover's supernatural elements to unfold with organic eeriness rather than manufactured scares. The audio format amplifies the story's emotional intensity, transforming quiet moments into spine-tingling encounters and making each revelation land with visceral impact that lingers long after the final chapter.
