WHITE HORSE

Emily Durante's simple, deliberate, and coldly beautiful presentation sucks listeners into this apocalyptic roller coaster ride, headed straight toward the annihilation of humanity by a virus that mutates humans into being dead—or something worse. Zoe, a 30-year-old who is passing time cleaning floors at a pharmaceutical firm, finds a jar in her apartment. Shortly thereafter everyone she knows is dying or disappearing. Her adventures and her struggle to maintain the best of being human under the most desperate circumstances pit her against the worst our species can offer. A mesmerizing story is presented to perfection. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2012]
