About this listen

All across the world, people suddenly vanish in the blink of an eye. From their cars during the rush hour commute. From shopping malls. Their homes. Their beds. Even from the arms of their loved ones. Airline pilots. World leaders. Teachers. Parents. Children. Gone.

Steve, Charlie, and Frank were just trying to get home when it happened. Now they find themselves left behind and wishing they'd disappeared, too. Trapped in the ultimate traffic jam, they watch as civilization collapses, claiming the souls of those around them. God has called his faithful home, but the invitations for Steve, Charlie, and Frank got lost. Now they must set off on foot through a nightmarish postapocalyptic landscape in search of answers. In search of God. In search of their loved ones. And in search of home.

Take the Long Way Home is an entertaining short story from one of the best modern writers of horror. Like most of Keene's work, it is paced perfectly with lots of relatable and interesting characters.
Chet Williamson is always a pleasure to listen to. His characterisation is spot on. I think he and Keene make a great team.
Another quality presentation from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.
