Two more Shirley Jackson audiobooks:
The Lottery and Other Stories (multiple narrators) and
The Witchcraft of Salem Village (Gabrielle de Cuir).
I listened to two nonfiction books--
Sybil Exposed, by Debbie Nathan (narrated by Marguerite Gavin), and
Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, by Stephen Rebello (narrated by Paul Michael Garcia).
Sybil Exposed offered the real story of Shirley Mason, the woman who purportedly exhibited 16 different personalities, who was the subject of the book and movie
Sybil.
As a fan of Hitchcock, I enjoyed
Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The book started with more graphic detail than I needed to know about Norman Bates's real-life counterpart, but then focused on the writing of the book and then its transformation into a movie. It helped that I had recently reread the book and know the movie so well.
