The Sandmen Cometh

By: Roberto Scarlato

Narrated by: Glynn Holmes Sr.

Welcome to the new and improved Joliet Prison. It has cleaner restrooms, better food and a better way of life for all it's inmates. Of course, Lyle Seigel is not impressed. He's doing a stretch for grand larceny. All he has now is time with the other degenerates that inhabit the prison. But when he gets roped into a cleanup crew, the prison starts to change in odd ways. Now Lyle must find a way to protect himself in a world he hardly recognizes.

Ohhh YES! Sooo Good!

Lyle Seigel, convicted of grand larceny, is sent to Joliet Prison … not the Joliet of days past … the new and allegedly improved Joliet of the future … it’s not long before Lyle’s stay gets … odd. When the Warden chooses Lyle for a “special” job … odd gets a whole new definition! Constantly surprising, completely engrossing and deeply mysterious, I became completely absorbed in this story! Filled with unique, convincing, beautifully defined characters, the story plays out smoothly, perfectly paced to draw this listener into an intriguing, edgy web … was it real … or was something truly nefarious afoot …. I’ll not be telling! What I will say is the writing is superb, the characters deep, the narration authentic, and beyond fabulous! This entire production is deserving of five fantastic stars. I loved it and I’m still shivering!

Prison story

Sometimes it was hard to understand the narrator. I felt that the story was thin. The characters need to be just describe a little better.

Not My Wheelhouse....Now I Want It To Be

Not My normal genre, but I LOVED it. Even wrote the author thanking him for sharing this story with us. This story was amazing, both realistic and fantastic, and not at sll how I thought it was going to go originally, definitely recommend, 10 stars if I could!
