SHADOWS

This tale of evil genius illustrates the most horrifying powers of a twisted mind. Most of the story takes place at The Academy, a school for gifted children; the narrator, J. Charles, does a terrific job creating a variety of children's voices. Charles builds the tension as a hellish experiment to probe the limits of the human brain is exposed. Low tones at the end of sentences may be difficult for commuters to hear. However, the overall effect is a gripping and suspenseful reading of a nerve-jangling tale.
