Historia
Parker Stanley's family had a dream: to start a new life in the Far West. But en route, a Cheyenne band slaughters his parents and abducts his sister. Then cowboy Clay Springer rides to the rescue - and comes up with an idea. He's got a team ready to deliver goods to the Mormons in Utah, but he's short on funds for supplies. He knows that Parker managed to hold on to his family's savings, so he suggests a 50-50 partnership. With a three-wagon, seven-man team, Parker and Clay will traverse the barren land, but out in the wilderness, Parker's sister needs saving - and he has vowed to find her.

Historia
Everything Elka knows of the world she learned from the man she calls Father, the solitary hunter who took her under his wing when she was just seven years old. He has taught her how to shoot, track, set snares, and start fires - all the skills she needs to survive in a frozen, lawless land where civilization has been destroyed and men are at the mercy of the elements and each other. But the man Elka thought she knew so well is harboring a terrible secret. He's a killer. A monster.

Historia
The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Sitting in a jail cell on the eve of his hanging, April 1, 1875, freedman Persimmon "Persy" Wilson wants nothing more than to leave some record of the truth - his truth. He may be guilty but not of what he stands accused: the kidnapping and rape of his former master's wife. In 1860 Persy had been sold to Sweetmore, a Louisiana sugar plantation, alongside a striking light-skinned house slave named Chloe. Their deep and instant connection fueled a love affair and inspired plans to escape their owner, Master Wilson, who claimed Chloe as his concubine.

So Cold. So Quirky. And definitely scary!
Putting my thoughts on Phantom Canyon into words is a tough task. For starters, it’s unlike any audio drama I've heard before. Secondly, it’s “western horror.” Or to put it more bluntly, it alternates between the two genres throughout, starting off as a full blown western and concluding as an eerie horror story. Fortunately for listeners, the changes between the two genres are seamless, adding to the overall enjoyment.
I have to start out by applauding the writers and actors for their amazing work. Specifically, the characters were very well crafted, and the actors did an amazing job bringing them to life. Pete Milan and Barbra Dillon in particular get huge points from me for their roles as Sam and Clara respectively. Joe Stofko’s Mr. David is both as authoritative and humble as he is threatening. And Dave Morgan’s Billy is another shining example of how skillful he is at making the smallest of roles some of the most memorable.
On the story front, while I’m not normally a fan of horror stories, Phantom Canyon hits all of the high notes and then some. And more than once, it masterfully breaks established horror tropes and flips them on their head. The directors also did a great job creating a strong western vibe that sucks you in and makes you want to keep on listening.
Of course, that said, Phantom Canyon is not without its occasional faults. But its strengths far outweigh them.
All in all, Phantom Canyon was a highly worthwhile listen: an example of Pendant Productions at their finest. And it’s easily the best thing I’ve bought for less than $10 bucks in a very long time, which is probably the highest praise I could ever give any work. Am I right, or am I right?
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Very "PG-13"
This story pulls every punch. Well produced audio drama, but the characters were rather weak, the logic questionable, and the scares mild. Recommend for breaking in kids new to the horror genre on a road trip.

Second verse, same as the first
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The story is too much like Stephen King's Desperation. Almost too scary how similar they are alike.
Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?
I do listen to other things produced by pendantaudio.com.
Which scene was your favorite?
The end
Was Phantom Canyon worth the listening time?
No
Any additional comments?
I was bored with the story. As I mentioned before, this is too much like Stephen King's book Desperation. Since I have read and love that book, it was disappointing to know well in advance how the story ends although the last scene was a nice touch even though it was cliche. I have been a long time listener to Pendant Audio which is why I think this is so disappointing. They have much better story development with some of their other long running series. Even though I was disappointed with this first attempt, I will buy future audio books/productions from them.

Fantastic audio production!
What a fantastically done audio! It's rare when I get the pleasure of listening to an audio that is a full production and I must say I love it! There was so much that I enjoyed, the voices, the extra production noises added in, it was marvelous. I feel that all of this added so much to the story. Like for instance when they are in the mine you can hear their voices start to have that echo like quality. When people are walking or riding horses or on a carriage all those extra noises are added. It made the audio so much more enjoyable for me!
As for the story it was also quite fun. The characters are believable and I just adore Sam. He seems like the type of person that you definitely want in your corner because he is just so willing to fight for his friends. Clara was my all time favorite and seemed the most believable of them all. Although Sam is a really close second. And Edwin was also really fun to listen to. His obsession with rock candy mirrors my own! Now I'm craving it!

Sound effects overwhelm performances.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I listened while on a long drive and while the performance was entertaining I found my attention wandering. This is not an "audiobook" per se, in that you don't have 1 actor narrating the story. It's akin to old radio shows with several actors and sound effects in the background to set the mood. The performances by the actors are very well done unfortunately the sound effects drown out the performances and become very annoying toward the end. To the point where the "chimes" become painful to listen to with earbuds.
As another reviewer pointed out, the story is very reminiscent of Stephen King's Desperation with a bit of Tommyknockers thrown in sans alien space ship.
Despite that; the story was interesting though I am not a fan of so many flashbacks. The production of those elements was a bit confusing as there wasn't a clear break for a flashback scene. I found myself wondering what exactly was going on and then realized a few minutes into the flashback that I was being given background on the characters.
Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?
I would consider it; perhaps in a traditional audiobook format rather than a radio play. Or rather a radio play that used some older techniques for sound effects instead of all digital.
As I stated above there were some effects that were either too loud, too high or too low and/or didn't seem correct for the scene. The effects almost overwhelmed the story.
Do you think Phantom Canyon needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I prequel would have been better than all the flashback scenes.
Any additional comments?
I was given this book in return for an honest review. The opinions stated are my own and not influenced by the authors or production company.

The bells!
I would like to thank the people before me who wrote good reviews about this audiobook. I trusted you and I had a great time listening to this production! I won't go into any details, lest I spoil anything for anyone. Suffice to say that it's like I was part of the story. I will never be able to hear bells again without remembering this book! ☺

Not my kind of audiobook
This is a tough one for me to call because it is a very well done audio drama. The problem is I discovered I do not like that format in audiobooks. I prefer either one narrator oar two alternating between male and female characters. This style is more like listening to a tv show in another room or a radio program from days of old. There are many of people who love this style, I am just not one of them.
The overall story is entertaining but my dislike of the format made it hard to follow. I generally like to listen to my books at faster speeds, this style makes that tough. There are a lot of voices to keep track of and loads of sound effects. Sound effects are another thing I do not particularly enjoy in my audiobooks. They tend to take me out of the moment being created, I prefer to use my imagination from the descriptions.
This all comes down to how you like to listen. If you enjoy audio dramas you might love this creepy mystery.
