VANISHED FROM DUST Vanished from Dust, Book 1

Narrator David Dietz authentically recreates 1980s Dust, Texas; a warm friendship; and the creepy voices of the phantoms that slowly take over the small town. Fourteen-year-old Eric Stark has been ostracized ever since he reported seeing paranormal visions. Dietz genuinely depicts new kid Kyle Barrett, who comes to Eric's rescue when he's, yet again, being bullied. The boys' evolving friendship is movingly rendered as Kyle slowly comes to believe in what Eric sees. Dietz perfectly captures the menacing atmosphere and the boys' changing roles as Eric's confidence grows. Young listeners will be mesmerized until the last second in a story that "screams" for a sequel. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2015]
