About this listen
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
Every day, millions of people lie to each other. Deception can be a shield of comfort, the root of one's rage, or a means of manipulation. But regardless of what each untruth devolves into, every lie is a choice. Howard Oates is trying to make good.
After a run of horrible luck and selfish decisions turn his picturesque life into a depraved nightmare, in his mind, there is no path to redemption. It takes some unusual inspiration for him to realize that the consequences of his heinous choices have traveled far beyond his victims. All Howard wants is to face them, but will he be strong enough to?
Martha Lorraine Mosley thinks the whole world's lying to her: her cheating boyfriend, her stupid job, all the powers that be. And the fact is, she's right. But what feels like a slow painful burning inside starts to fire on all cylinders when she learns the secret truth. Looks herself in the eye. And shines a new kind of blinding light that the world will never forget.
Royce O'Riley sees himself as the ultimate truth. He believes he will shepherd the world to a utopia filled with enlightened, honest people. But while recruiting acolytes to join him on his private island and seeking vengeance on those spreading vicious rumors about him, Royce is forced to realize that even he isn't immune to the power of lies. Especially the lies we tell ourselves. Three of horror's darkest minds unite to bring you three interconnected tales of treachery. When all the lies are finally exposed, prepare yourself for The Ugly Truth.

While attempting to abduct a teenager from her home, sadistic serial killer Victor Brooks meets his match: ten 9mm bullets. In a puddle of his own blood, sprawled across a stranger’s kitchen floor, Victor’s life begins to flash before his very eyes.

Gordon's name was a joke. It was given to him by Anthony Zola, a controlling, and abusive father, to taunt his wife over her love of cheese, and the fact that she had been steadily gaining weight since their marriage. Andrea was a doting mother, and maybe a little overprotective of her boy, but she didn't see that as a bad thing. On discovering a secret, one the child had been told to keep to himself, everything changes. Now she must do whatever she needs to keep her, and her boy, alive. Needs must.

It's that special day. The day when everything's supposed to be perfect. The day when everyone is supposed to drink too much and party like it's 1999. A day when family and friends show their support for the beginning of a beautiful bond. But what if someone wasn't there just to celebrate and have fun? What if the extravagant, isolated destination was chosen for a more nefarious reason than assumed? What if most everyone at the celebration had unknowingly attended a Wedding Day Massacre?
