Harris ("Sookie Stackhouse" series) and Kelner ("Laura Fleming" books) combine their talents for this short story anthology featuring sports or games and the paranormal. The 15 tales here are from both new and established authors, such as Scott Sigler, Jan Burke, and Brandon Sanderson. Sports range from dodgeball to lacrosse, from hide-and-seek to roller derby, and feature an assortment of paranormal elements—ghosts, the devil, witches, werewolves, and more. Todd Haberkorn and Kate Rudd provide well-paced and entertaining readings of these supernatural stories. VERDICT Of interest to fantasy fiction fans and followers of Harris and Kelner.—Denise A.

OCTOBER 2014 - AudioFile
It isn’t everyday that an audio collection of stories is this consistently strong, and its narrators so unfailingly compelling. Listeners will find tales of games and competitions of all kinds—from hide-and-seek to roller derby—played by the most fantastic of paranormal characters. Todd Haberkorn and Kate Rudd bring each of these zany, occasionally spine-tingling, and wildly creative tales to life. The range of characters is enormous, and the settings varied. Both narrators handle each tale with aplomb, creating personalities that are unique, building suspense, and reveling in each detailed description. Their energy and humor keep the plot quick and engrossing, and it’s clear throughout that they’re enjoying themselves as much as listeners surely will. B.E.K. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
