Wavedancer Benefit Header (Abridged) Audiobook

Four blockbuster authors captured live at New York's Town Hall

On February 2, 2002, Stephen King, Pat Conroy, John Grisham, and Peter Straub gathered at New York's Town Hall for a very special evening. These four bestselling authors stepped up to the microphone to raise money for one of the most recognizable voices in audiobooks, Frank Muller, an actor who sustained terrible injuries from a motorcycle accident. Muller, who has recorded hundreds of novels, including many by these authors, may never work again.

This once-in-a-lifetime event is captured here, and 100 percent of all profits will be donated to the Wavedancer Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports Frank Muller and other artists who fall victim to illness or injury and can no longer perform.

Grisham kicks off the evening with a heartfelt reading of an excerpt from his blockbuster bestseller The Summons. He's followed by Straub, who captivates the audience with a hair-raising episode from Black House, the latest thriller he coauthored with Stephen King. King changes pace with a joyful reading of his classic short story The Revenge of Lardass Hogan. Finally, Conroy engages the audience in a hilarious chat on the art of writing.

A unique program that pays tribute to a true master craftsman, this audiobook is an unforgettable listening experience.

“In a touching tribute to the voice Stephen King says he hears in his head as he writes—that of renowned voice artist Frank Muller—these four solid-gold authors jest, jibe, and deliver live readings of their own short stories. Muller sustained serious injuries in a motorcycle accident last year. In response, The Wavedancer Project—which this recording benefits—was launched to help Muller and other performing artists too ill or injured to perform. All authors deliver spirited renditions of their work…A fitting tribute to a gifted artist.”
