THE ROAD
Eleven tales of folk-horror from the mainlandBy Ivory F. Wild
Length7h 4m
About this audiobook
The road is red — the red of laterite earth, the red of the dry season.
Ahead of you: a cart, a small horse, and an old man walking at its head, who has made this crossing so many times that the road and the walking have become the same thing. Eleven miles to the other end, and at each one he reaches into the dark at the roadside and adds something to the cart — a cloth bag, a string of beads, a pair of reading glasses, a child's sandal. The last, smallest thing someone was holding when they didn't make it the rest of the way.
Across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia, eleven lives come apart at the seams of what they kept quiet: a hunger fed too long, a debt of luck never repaid, a courtesy owed to something too tall to look at. Each story closes with one more object in the cart, one more name said without judgment — because judgment was never the old man's to give.
The Road is the third and final crossing of the Tabi-Tabi trilogy: eleven tales of folk-horror from the mainland.
