Abner Cray, a photographer, comes to New York City to work on a new coffee table book about Manhattan. An old acquaintance has offered to let him use his apartment while in the city, and though the two never really got along, Abner accepts. In the apartment he finds that a woman named Phyllis Pellaprat is alredy in residence, and over a short period of time, Abner falls in love. But Phyllis has some strange habits - and there is something odd about her that he can't put his finger on. When Abner learns Phyllis' strange secret, he is drawn into another world, a world that threatens to cave in the walls of his own and those of his mind and sanity as well. An amazing, haunting tale.

A haunting tale quickly embeds itself in the listener's mind. Dick Hill's narration is by turns soothing, menacing, and poignant as he portrays photographer Abner Crane's confusion over the strangeness of the woman he falls in love with. It does seem to take Abner an inordinate amount of time to realize that the woman is dead. Furthermore, the story ends with the listener feeling that little has been resolved. This latter effect is intentional, however, as in Wright's fictional worlds resolution us usually lacking. It is perhaps this lack of resolution, as well as Hill's beautiful narration, that gives this production its emotional power. C.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
