Acerca de esta escucha

A cinematic parable about love, desire, and vengeance, Neon Lights is a thrilling short story by award-winning author Manuel Gonzales.

Nicole has wanted to own a haunted car her entire teenaged life, and when she finally finds one - a junker of a Chrysler Neon with its own tragic backstory - her best friend, Johnny, has some serious doubts. Would a demon even want to possess a Chrysler Neon? But when the two of them take it for a test drive, Johnny’s doubts begin to fade: The steering wheel burns hot, the car traps Johnny in the back seat, and is Nicole even driving? Or is the car driving itself? They soon find themselves forced to face the potential evil controlling the car, and possibly even themselves.

So, the narrator’s rendition of Nicole is reminiscent of Jimmy Fallon’s portrayal of the girl with braces saying, “ew”. It was a little distracting and maybe slightly comical, but he tried. Fortunately the story was short while also managing to be a bit disjointed, the story line tried to piece together some historical aspects within the present time. The author was attempting to provide context but I’m not sure it was necessary.

Jimmy Fallon is that you?

I especially liked the part where he said kicked him in the nutsack. Narration was good

Pretty good

This honestly sounds like the end result of a 10th grade writing assignment, but from the worst student in the class with a tenuous grasp of the English language. Yes, it’s really that bad.

Really bad

Set up and characters were interesting and had lots of potential but just tapered out at the end. A decent story that could have been really good if the author had just added five minutes or had a clear picture of where he was going with it.

Unresolved Story, Had Potential

The story has potential but the narration didn’t reel me in. I didn’t even bother finishing .

First story I won’t waste time finishing

I found this story to be intriguing especially with the mention of facts about other possessed cars. The book is decently written the only part of it that I didn't like was that it ended with so many unanswered questions.

Wicked

I know that there's a warning about language. I was aware that they would cuss, but 17-year-olds cussing like that isnt realistic. Also there was no completion to the story. What happens to Nicole?!

No completion

repeat

Candles, car parts, child ghost, back seat, hot steering wheel, ghost car parts that kills all who added to their cars.

Ghost in the machine

Hard to differentiate reality from dram/imagination in the story. I gad to listen to it twice to grasp everything.

It was...different...
