Unabridged Stories

By: Dennis Lehane

Narrated by: Stanley Tucci

From Dennis Lehane, the award-winning author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Kenzie-Gennaro series, comes a surprisingly different collection of five short stories:

""Running Out the Dog""
""ICU""
""Gone Down to Corpus""
""Mushrooms""
""Until Gwen""

At turns suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our national myths—about class, gender, freedom, and regeneration through violence—and reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect.

Good stories, but narration not a fit

Long time Dennis Lehane fan. Started with the movies (which he describes in the interview included with this collection as someone else’s work), then moved to his books and have enjoyed all of them that I’ve read (about 80% of his oeuvre). The stories here are mostly very good, and the last one is excellent.

I’m also a Stanley Tucci fan, as an actor, but in most of these stories, his precise diction feels detached and emotionally distant from the characters.

The interview with Mr. Lehane is a treat.

amazing stories

Dark , brutal, and doesn't hold back. Dennis always delivers a solid story. Simply beautiful. I highly recommend this!
