GUYS READ: OTHER WORLDS

While the title may suggest these stories are for “guys,” listeners of both genders are likely to enjoy this collection of science-fiction short stories. Excellent narrators are perfectly matched with the 10 stories. Listeners will laugh at the antics of Percy Jackson and his friends, groan at the absurdity of shoes trying to take over the Earth, and shudder at the thought of an enslaved ghost boy. Some stories are laugh-out-loud funny, while others are downright creepy. A couple of them might be disturbing for sensitive youngsters. The narration of each story is sublime, with not a single misstep. The narrators set the appropriate tone for each piece, making for an “out-of-this-world” listening experience! M.M.G.
