Head on the High Road: Ghost Stories From the Southwest (American Storytelling Series)

Product Description A collection of sixteen ghost stories from the American Southwest, including Hispanic and Native American selections. From AudioFile The eighteen stories included in this collection vary in length from four minutes to twenty. They were originally published in Scary Stories & Ghost Stories from the Southwest. The stories have an eerie, haunting quality but shouldn't keep youngsters up at night. "It Has No Face" is effectively told and might be a candidatefor dramatization if The Twilight Zone is ever revived. The Youngs' experienced storytelling voices effectively contrast with one another: hers clear and strong, his resonant and smooth. Occasionally, the tellers seem detached and don't draw the listeners in effectively. The telling is expressive but not overcharacterized. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
