BLACK EVENING

This compilation of horror stories from the 1980s and 1990s by David Morrell, author of FIRST BLOOD, is everything a good audiobook should be. The seven stories are well selected, providing a thrilling aural experience. The performances, by six actors, blend narration, music, and acting to create the sinister atmosphere of Morrell's tales of loss and death. The highlight is the final story, "The Beautiful Uncut Hair of Graves," an award-winning tale of a lawyer's search for his true identity, told with blood-chilling authority by Stefan Rudnicki. To complete the package, Morrell provides enlightening introductions to each story. G.M.N. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
