GOING THROUGH GHOSTS

Narrator Andrea Gallo creates unique--almost familiar--voices for the many characters of Creosote, Nevada. Middle-aged Maggie Fotz is waitressing at the Crystal Casino, where she meets Sarah, a member of the Willow tribe. Maggie is such a grounded individual that she's quite unsure of how to help Sarah, though she desperately wants to. Then, Sarah is brutally murdered. Gallo brings Sojourner's well-developed characters to life with humor and pathos. She adds verisimilitude and drama to Sarah's ethereal journey to next world. The combination of mystery and mysticism is engaging, and Gallo's empathy with both Sarah and Maggie comes through to listeners. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2014]
