NORTH CAROLINA GHOSTS AND LEGENDS

Fleet Cooper's spirited performance brings out the history and hauntings of the Carolinas. Cooper's narration is unhurried as he paints the variety of settings in these 19 stories. His assortment of animated voices and accents invokes the myriad characters, who include distressed sailors, Southern ladies, and a menacing pirate who rolls his "r"s with a gruff growl. Cooper's storytelling adds drama to the suspense while his thoughtful presentation of backstory augments the eerie atmosphere of each tale. Though spookiness abounds, there's no gore, making this a fun listen for children as well as adults. M.F. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2017]
