Editorial Reviews

DECEMBER 2010 - AudioFile

This collection of "pulp fiction" includes 10 of the 20 stories that are in the print edition, edited by Michael Chabon. It features a variety of authors who contributed stories that fit the old-time style of adventure fiction. Mysteries, sci-fi, Westerns, and more fill listeners’ ears as they exude the joy of storytelling. Narrator Kevin Gray has a snarky tone that fits the works, but his reading is a bit too fast, making it hard to follow some of the plots. Those who pay close attention will enjoy an engaging selection of stories that revel in action over character. K.M. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
