Johannes Cabal the Necromancer

Johannes Cabal exchanged his soul for the secret to resurrecting the dead. As "pay day" draws near, he wants to renegotiate the terms, but they're binding--unless he can recruit 100 souls in exchange for his. With an entertaining flair Christopher Cazenove delivers a darkly humorous tale of retribution. His alto pitch and British-accented English demonstrate expert storytelling skills. Although Cazenove maintains an even tone, he manages to expertly create the chills necessary to make this horror tale effective. Between the necromancer's heartless acts of soul snatching, listeners will laugh at Cazenove's renditions of a bored cribbage-playing Satan, demonic zombies, and criminally insane fairies. Cazenove delivers a wickedly clever, macabre tale of horror and suspense. A.L.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
