This collection of lush stories is brought to life by narrator Bernadette Dunn. Whether she is a clueless matron in Malaysia, the disillusioned daughter of a right-to-life crusader, or the lovesick fire-eater of the title, Dunne hits just the right mood and voice, giving each character dignity and giving the listener a real treat.

Skulduggery is the ultimate undead; in fact, he’s just a skeleton. Rupert Degas's deadpan delivery of this snappy and dark comedy (with an appropriate hint of laughter) proves how well young adult fantasy can work as audio entertainment. Reviewed by Liz Hannegan

This dark thiller doubles as a stunning elegy to New Orleans' cultural losses suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Will Patton captures the visceral and vivid prose that makes this title so memorable, from the gruff Detective Robicheaux to the psychopath Ronald Bledsoe, whose bland, warm-custard voice will scare your socks off.

In this collection of stories gathered by Dave Isay and the StoryCorps project, Americans tell the story of American life with plainspoken honesty and affection. Isay’s narration introduces each speaker and gives just a bit of background to help listeners connect with the storytellers. Reviewed by Randy O'Brien.
