  In this hilarious cozy mystery, small-town police chief Arly Hanks tries to stop a right-wing militia from turning Maggody into a battlefield. 
   
   
   
  The sign welcoming travelers to Maggody, Arkansas, reads "Pop. 755," and don't expect Hizzoner Jim Bob to repaint it just because there’s someone new in town. The mayor won't go out of his way for anyone, especially someone wicked—and a woman who would open a pawnshop in Maggody must be very wicked indeed. Kayleen Smeltner decided to open the shop after her husband was killed during a burglary. She came to Maggody expecting peace and quiet, but she'll find this quaint little patch of nowhere isn't as peaceful as it seems. 
   
   
    
  When a right-wing militia takes up residence in the pasture behind the pawnshop, police chief Arly Hanks knows it's only a matter of time before the bullets start to fly. The strange citizens of Maggody are on the verge of civil war, and it will only take one spark to set the town ablaze. 
   
   
    
  There's no politics like small-town politics, and there's no town on earth like Maggody. This madcap take on right-wing militias is one of Joan Hess's most topical—and outrageous—mysteries yet.

  Step into the shadows of the human mind — where nothing is as it seems, and no one is entirely innocent.
   
  Voices in the Dark is a masterfully crafted anthology of 12 standalone psychological thrillers that will grab you by the throat and whisper secrets you were never meant to hear. From the moment the first story begins, you’re plunged into a world of subtle paranoia, dangerous memories, and eerie encounters that blur the line between reality and delusion.
   
  Each short story is a self-contained experience — tight, twisty, and impossible to pause — written by acclaimed thriller author Sam Johnson and brought to life by the immersive voices of Lucy Walker and James Goodwin. Whether it’s the woman trapped in an elevator with someone who remembers what she forgot… the man whose new phone begins syncing surveillance photos of himself… or the late-night confession that reveals the priest’s own darkest sin, every tale is a psychological maze with no guaranteed way out.
   
  This isn’t horror for the faint-hearted or simple scares with jump cuts — these are thrillers that linger, crawling under your skin and forcing you to question what you’d do in the darkest of moments.
   
  Whether you’re commuting, walking alone at dusk, or laying awake at 2 a.m., Voices in the Dark is your next unforgettable listen.
   
  Lock the door.  Press play.  And whatever you do…  don’t listen alone.
