Listeners are in for an experience of 22 “amuse-oreille” (small sound bites of delight to amuse the ear) in this anthology, which pairs award-winning narrators with varying stories on the theme of taking a wrong turn—sometimes literal, other times metaphorical. A standout is Jim Shaffer’s “All That The Case Is,” in which narrator Peter Berkrot brings to life a small town of characters—male, female, old, and teenage. Laird Long’s “Fairy Dusted” demonstrates how audio can effectively dramatize a story. Narrators Renee Chamblis and Julie McKay present a story of alternating text messages, with each narrator’s voice perfectly projecting her character. Audiobook fans of mysteries, horror, and fantasy will find appealing listening to appreciate in this anthology. E.Q. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2019]
