Seriously, what bad things HAVEN'T happened to this woman? She's stuck in a cycle of abusive relationships, she's got body-image problems, she does nude and lingerie modeling and is made to feel dirty about it, and she's a trichitillomaniac? (I'm certain I misspelled that.)
I think she was far too depressing and put-upon as a narrator, and it took away from the story. The details were good, but the problem with picking a good horror story and picking a good horror story to read aloud (and this stretches across all types of reading vs acting) is that you have to beware of the length of dialogue tags and weird splits. Like, for example:
"Look, I don't think," Sarah said, her voice low and serious, "that you know what you're talking about."
This story, for whatever reasons it was selected, I think it wasn't picked because it would be a good one to read aloud.
Also, the room was introduced WAY too late. It was almost an afterthought. There was no foreshadowing at all, and I think that would've made the story more suspenseful. Instead, we're left being dragged along (by the hair, if you like) and seeing what's going to fall on this woman's head next.
The hair reminded me of the alien inside the tooth story on PP about 15 episodes ago ("Toothache", was it called?) in that it was causing pain of some kind but was ultimately benevolent. Pamela's hair was trying to save her, and as she realized, she had been fighting it.
All the really good plot stuff came way too late, is basically what I'm saying.
The reading was all right. A narrator with a non-American accent (British, Australian, even West Indies) probably would've been better, but I didn't have any problems with it.
