Working from home has its perks, being able to attend meetings in your pajamas chief among them. But when the house you occupy all day is empty - when the only voice you hear after work comes through television speakers, it can get a little old. Unless you like it that way. And Chris did like it that way … until the whispering started. Telecommuting is a modern psychological horror story set in what could be your town, your street, your house. The lyrical slow burn is subtle; the terror in this tale sneaks up on you before you know it.
