About this audiobook

From Chuck Tingle, USA Today bestselling author of Bury Your Gays, comes Fabulous Bodies, a supernatural joyride where Drive meets Beetlejuice.

“[Narrator Mara] Wilson creates the perfect flat affect for Poppy, keeping her voice so dry that it snaps. Whether Poppy is scrolling social media sites, lying to morgue workers, or dealing with a corpse, Wilson’s delivery is cool, calm, and collected." —Kirkus (Earphones Award Winner)

"Young mother Poppy, fully embodied by narrator [Mara] Wilson, hits all the right beats of terror and trauma as Poppy reckons with her life goals as both an influencer and a parent...[Chuck] Tingle’s fans will be pleased to see that he once again perfectly balances humor, horror, and heart."— Library Journal (Starred Review)

Even as Poppy's reality devolves into body horror, Wilson's detachment keeps listeners hooked on every word.

Poppy Stringer was born to be a star.

An aspiring fashion influencer by day, Poppy moonlights as a grave robber to make ends meet, wheeling and dealing dead bodies across Palm Springs.

When her hero, the flamboyant, piano-slamming rockstar Eddie Michaels, unexpectedly dies, Poppy gets a call to retrieve his body from the medical examiner’s office for a lucrative sum. It could be the last job she’ll ever need—if everything goes to plan. But the night’s delivery quickly veers off course when Eddie wakes up.

Now Poppy must fight for her life if she hopes to survive this blood-soaked joyride of carnage and extravagant entertainment.

I love horror that wrecks me psychologically, when I feel entrenched in the eeriness and the terror. This book was not that. At no point did I take any of this story seriously. I’d call it absurdist horror. I didn’t find it believable, and by that I don’t mean plausible. I know it’s horror and (hopefully) isn’t about to happen any time soon. But I want to be immersed in it, to believe it in the moment, and I didn’t. The vibe is similar to zombie horror, which I don’t like, so clearly it’s a me thing. I listened to the audiobook. Mara Wilson did a fantastic job of embracing Poppy’s character. *Thanks to Macmillan Audio (#MacAudioPartner) for the free audiobook download!*
