From AudioFile:

These stand-alone stories are written by both established and newer authors. Good stories demand solid narration, and all the narrators are at the top of their game, bringing not only accents appropriate to the stories but also the tense, nervous, and suspenseful tones needed. More than two dozen narrators capture the assortment of stories, which take place in varying time periods from the Civil War to present day. Listeners are engaged by the voices of gritty, streetwise toughs, slimy villains, an innocent child, and many more. None of the writers or narrators miss their mark.
