SHADOWS FROM BOOT HILL

This audiobook contains three Western short stories written during the 1940s. The writing fits the genre, and the audio production is excellent. Voice casting is perfect for each character, music sets the mood, and sound effects complete the package. The title story finds a hired killer being haunted by the shadow of a voodoo witch doctor. “The Gunner from Gehenna” has a twist at the end that will make listeners smile. “Gunman” is a more traditional Western, with the right man winning the fight. Listeners will appreciate the voice acting as well as the realistic sound effects. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
