What horrors live in the phone? "At the Sound of the Beep" (mp3 download) is a fine, cruel example of horror by answering machine, created by digital audio genius Julie Hoverson.
The story consists entirely of answering machine messages, played back and sometimes manipulated (the identify of the machine's operator only becomes clear towards the end). A variety of voices outline multiple plot threads, all of which coalesce into the main narrative. Its emotional power builds through a chilling climax.
Julie Hoverson has been doing fantastic work for years. Check her out, o devoted minions of Infocult.
