KING OF DEAD THINGS

Narrator Troy Glasgow is a gift--a natural storyteller who knows how to pace this dynamic debut. Glasgow's acting prowess is on full display as his baritone voice seeps into listeners' ears--and into their souls. He carries listeners into, as described in this book, "the secret side of [London], full of winding, serpentine streets and back-alley bargains . . . It was the outer crust . . . [E]veryone here knew what it was to be on the outside." Glasgow's narration nimbly shifts between London English and Jamaican accents. This thrilling fantasy with its allusions to Caribbean mythology and legends is well suited for Glasgow's voice. Listeners will feel fully satisfied with his performance and will eagerly search for more of his work. P.P.C.
