(2007-02-18) Banjo Strings: New Horror/Fantasy Podcast Novel
New serialized audiobook by Chicago saloon poet and LA Podcaster Larry Winfield
A pair of plantation slave ghosts are carrying out a mission of vengeance against the first-born sons of two old and prominent plantation families in Wainwright County, Mississippi. This tightly kept secret is exposed in a letter to a new cable and internet show sponsored by a recently exposed secret organization that has monitored and policed the supernatural world for over a century.
The show's producer, a descendant of the agency's founder, discovers evidence pointing to a renegade band within the agency, helping keep the families' dark secret. He is forced to recruit an old friend, a disgraced former TV reporter, sending him undercover to the post-Katrina landscape of Wainwright County. Dodging the local sherrif and the families was one thing, dealing with the unpredictable and deadly ghost Polly was another...
Banjo Strings is the latest artistic experiment from Chicago Saloon Poet and LA Podcaster Larry Winfield. What began as a NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) project in 2005 has become a serialized audiobook being released in episodic form. This is the first podcast novel that isn't an adaptation of a previously published story - it's being written and published live.
