About this listen

A common cold, turning the world upside down within a short-few years; three events happening, one, from the city of Tacoma, Washington, another, coming from the city of Seattle; the last one, coming from an aircraft carrier, while being deployed out to sea, all three tales, speaking about a cold before turning people into something created by a weird outbreak, a disease; something unknown? People must try to co-exist, the ones who were not taken by the disease, compared to the people who are living with it!

Barrios and Kvirikashvili trade sharp dialogue for scenery porn, forgetting that characters need chemistry, not just a beautiful backdrop. The plot meanders like a lost tourist, failing to deliver the emotional payoff the stunning descriptions promise. It is a postcard you wish had a more interesting letter inside.

A once-celebrated painter finds his genius fading into a gray dusk, until a mysterious woman commissions a portrait of a place that exists only in her dreams. Scenic Nights is a luminous meditation on art’s power to reclaim the past. The prose itself is painterly, capturing the quiet tension between what is seen and what is remembered. It is a tender, haunting story that proves the most vivid landscapes are often the ones we carry inside us.

In their collaborative debut, Barrios and Kvirikashvili paint a Los Angeles so vivid it becomes its own character. "Scenic Nights" follows two lonely souls whose chance meetings on the iconic Angeles Crest Highway spark a slow-burning connection. The prose alternates between raw masculinity and tender observation, capturing the exhilarating fear of falling for someone. While the plot follows familiar beats, the authors' deep love for the city’s nocturnal beauty elevates this into a moody, cinematic escape that lingers like a warm summer night.
