Pure entertainment!
Need something a little different in your ears? Check out this compilation of audio plays by the talented Erin Mallon. Her quick listens will captivate you, make you think and best of all have you laughing.
Skin Hungry: I saw this performed live and fell in love with it. Four people. completely different, but somehow find solace and companionship together. An unexpected senior female approached by a twenty something man who will have you in stitches! And the second couple just looking for that human touch. Mallon easily takes their loneliness and creates a happiness for both with love and humor. And the cast is incredible.
Come Find Me: Creepy, eerie, with a touch of humor, this audio play is the perfect listen for Halloween! Erin Mallon takes us through Tillie's crazy childhood living with her eccentric father. He is a doctor in an insane asylum, though it seems like he should be a patient. Mallon masterfully switches to time periods, keeping us wondering what is real, what is in your mind and just how impressionable we all are.
Branched: Laugh out loud funny. That is what this audio play is! Erin Mallon has introduced me to a whole new genre with her witty audio plays, and this one had me in stitches! It's a family of 4 and a kindergarten teacher with over the top personalities bringing out all their eccentricities. Mallon has captured the essence of each person and and given them traits we all can relate to, just not quite that excessive!
The Narwahl Strikes Back: You know when you need a good laugh that you can count on Erin Mallon. Could it be funnier than the first book? I think it just might be. This audio play brings us back to our good friends in the studio and lets us live in a day in the life of a group of authors and narrators. This quirky bunch plays out all the things we think they would be as listeners! The banter, the eccentricities, the writer's block, their own relationships, each making me laugh and just lighting up my day. The sound effects and stage direction treat us to a play in our minds and it's nothing short of pure magic.
Mallon chooses her narrators that fit the parts so well, you would swear they are real. These seasoned performers work so well together, bouncing the comedy back and forth and bring the story alive. I loved every one, and the bloopers are hysterical. Give me these casts anytime! Add in violin by Zachary Webber and it's a one click purchase for sure!

Unique blend of drama and humor
SKIN HUNGRY
Wow. Just wow. The author definitely knows how to make you go from the highest high to the lowest low.
Her typical humor–with lots of sarcasm and quirky personalities–is ever present. The conversations are fast paced and captivating. But you also get some heavy feelings of grief and loss and regret, that’ll probably bring a few tears.
The age gap romance made me think of Harold and Maud. It’s the connection of two lost souls and it’s beautiful. I loved that you get a glimpse of every character’s background but not too many details. You’re left guessing what brought them here, at that moment in their life where they connect with each other.
As for the narration, it’s perfection. The casting choices are spot on and all the narrators give their best to convey the deep emotions of their character. It’s definitely a play you want to listen to, instead of just reading the words.
COME FIND ME
How many times can I be surprised by the same author? It’s like she’s always where I didn’t expect her.
This time, it’s with an eerie haunting story, with a little more drama and a little less humor. Not that there isn’t any–the characters offer sarcasm like candies. I say story, but I should say ‘stories’. Two sets of characters, two time periods, two difficult relationships between a parent and their child. Sprinkled with mental illness and abuse, and with an underlying feminist discourse.
To precipitate the mixture, 5 extraordinary talents give their voice to the characters. The result is an immersive audioplay that you should definitely listen to in the dark. If you dare.
BRANCHED
That was so unexpected, and yet so incredible! In the end, everything sort of makes sense, though you’ll have to think about it a lot to get to a conclusion. Don’t worry, you WILL be thinking about it a lot.
As usual with the author, the play is a delicious mix of humor, drama, original situations and unforgettable characters. Here she tackles weird family dynamics, cheating, and child abuse. And yet you’ll laugh, and feel for the characters–even the deranged mother, because in the end, she only wants the best for her family, in her very weird way.
The narrators play their role perfectly, and the addition of noises gives another dimension. Close your eyes, and let the words sweep you away.
THE NET WILL APPEAR
One more unforgettable play by this author. This unexpected friendship between an old man and a little girl will bring you to tears between two bouts of laughter.
The life dramas they talk about are of the tragic kind, but their interactions are full of humor and energy–thanks to Rory who’s sharp but too new to life to understand what’s happening around her, while poor Bernard, who’s been kind of removed from life for too long, learns again how to let someone in. It was fascinating to see their relationship change and move forward in just 4 incredible encounters.
Characters, situations and dialogues were up to par for the author. Witty, unique and with lots of genuine emotions. The bubbly energy of the young child and the gruff demeanor of the old man were interpreted amazingly by two talented actors. Their performance was so good that you could practically see them, just by listening to them.
IN CONCLUSION
Combining the author’s unique blend of drama and humor, a superior writing, and amazing full casts, those 4 plays deserved to appear as a box set to appreciate the full extent of the author’s talent.
