Wanted – stories. Anything weird will do! The dark stuff sent to Fraser and Cassie’s student newspaper is disturbing. Old tales are being rewritten. Tales of plague graves, and forbidden woods where children vanish. Hidden steps leading to a decaying underworld. Old songs used to ensnare the innocent. But they’re just horror stories – aren’t they? Then the first child is taken …©1997 Celia Rees.

Avis de l'équipe

Shirley Barthelmie offers a tension-filled performance of Celia Rees’ paranormal YA novel, The Vanished.

At their school newspaper in a small English town, three students - Alistair, Jake, Cassie - start publishing imaginary ghost stories in their school paper. Soon, readers begin to send in their own tales of the supernatural. Investigating these claims, the three friends stumble on the discovery that children have mysteriously disappeared from their hometown over the past century.

With her British accent, Barthelmie offers a brisk, emphatic performance that rises in inflection and urgency in tension-filled moments.

"Shirley Barthelmie's pleasant, even tones provide a strong narration for this chilling story of urban legends that become reality. She provides distinct voices for each of the three students, Cassie, Fraser, and Jake, who investigate the cases of children who disappear. Barthelmie maintains the rising tension of the story, despite the challenges of long descriptive passages and loose ends in the plot. An occasional slip into overly dramatic reading can be forgiven, given the creepy subterranean caverns the teens must traverse in order to rescue Jake's sister from ravenous troglodyte inhabitants. The menacing music that begins each CD sets the mood of the recording well." (AudioFile Magazine)
