Riding the Ghost Train is finally on audio. (You don’t need an account to listen. Just x out of the login prompt)
This is the full story as I wrote it and read by Alissa Palmer. I was sitting with my guitar, listening to her narration, and the music began forming around her voice — around her energy — as if the sound knew where it needed to go the moment she spoke.
Alissa’s voice came to me through Between Two Mouths and How Many Strokes Does It Take. My first thought was: this is how Ghost Train should sound. If you haven’t checked out her audio, get over there now.
Uploaded in high resolution on SoundCloud (just because Lush refused to take the file, even after I beat it senseless with compression to get it under the size limit).
If you’ve read the story, you know what it is. If you haven’t, you’re missing one of the rawest, dirtiest, most broken, and breathing characters I’ve ever written. And now she has a voice.
Audio link and original story are both posted. Enjoy the ride.
Just a heads-up: it’s an hour and a little over two minutes. Settle in — or Seattle in, if you like.
