THE GALLOWS LAND

by Bill Pronzini ; Read by Richard Ferrone ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2003

Southwestern Arizona more than a hundred years ago, "the gallows land," was a place where a man could die just as sure as if he had a rope around his neck. Into the sun-baked desert wanders Roy Boone, headed west, anywhere west. His beloved young wife has died of exhaustion, and a big part of Roy died with her. Weary and thirsty, he happens upon an out-of-the-way ranch, where he meets Jennifer, the victim of an abusive husband. Then two mysterious men try to kill him. There's a bank robbery. A posse. And a dusty stage ride to Yuma in hopes of escape. Richard Ferrone's voice is as gritty as the desert sand. His sharp, crisp delivery energizes the action as Roy and Jennifer flee the villains and grapple with the need to do right.

    WHEN THE LEGENDS DIE

    by Hal rland ; Read by Norman Dietz ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

    In this fascinating coming-of-age portrait, Thomas Black Bull's journey from the child, Bear's Brother, to the fearsome rodeo rider, Killer Tom Black, is painted with compassion and insight. Forced to learn the White Man's ways, Tom reaches adulthood consumed by rage. Read with great vigor by Norman Dietz, the recording bursts with the energy of rodeo circuit and transports the listener to the southwest. The accurate portrayal of Tom's Ute ancestry and way of life, the sorrow and frustration of losing his heritage, and his angry retaliation at the world make this an excellent listening choice for adults and teenagers. It would also be a wonderful addition to high school units on the Native American experience.

      RUBBER LEGS AND WHITE TAIL-HAIRS

      by Patrick F. McManus ; Read by George S. Irving ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

      George S. Irving adopts Patrick McManus's characters with gusto. Sit back and listen to yarn after yarn. Irving relishes each story, whether it's fishing stories, such as "Claw of the Sea-Puss" or "To Filet or Not to Filet," or the escapades with McManus's wary but vulnerable neighbors. Irving has the jocular chuckle down pat, and the low comedy satire comes off without a hitch. Listeners can imagine Irving tipping back a chair at the country store swapping lies with cronies and entertaining any comers with these hilarious tales. His repertoire of more than eight collections of McManus stories encourages this kind of ownership!
