FORGIVE ME, LEONARD PEACOCK
By Matthew Quick
Read by Noah Galvin
Published by Hachette Audio

Today is Leonard Peacock's birthday. It is also the day he hides a gun in his backpack. Because today is the day he will kill his former best friend, and then himself, with his grandfather's P-38 pistol. But first he must say good-bye to the four people who matter most to him.

"Leonard Peacock is a complicated character, and narrator Noah Galvin quickly conveys his disturbing emotions."
– AudioFile Magazine

OCTOBER MOURNING: A SONG FOR MATTHEW SHEPARD
By Lesléa Newman
Read by Emily Beresford, Luke
  Daniels, Tom Parks, Nick Podehl,
  Kate Rudd, & Christina Traister
Published by Brilliance Audio

On the night of October 6, 1998, a gay 21-year-old University of Wyoming student named Matthew Shepard was lured from a bar by two young men, then savagely beaten, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, and left to die. October Mourning is Leslea Newman's deeply personal response to the events of that tragic day and its brutal aftermath.

"The narrators expertly carry the weight of the poems, excelling on verses that combine more than one voice."
– AudioFile Magazine
