In his reading of this sequel to Stoneheart (2007), Dale displays his mastery of vocal characterizations ranging from a blustery, sputtering friar to an imperiously proud Roman-era queen. Intrepid heroes George and Edie, caught in a world of warring Spits (statues representing humans) and Taints (statues of monsters and mythical creatures), attempt to rescue their friend, who is in the clutches of a supernatural figure. Dale’s voice is appropriately creepy and evil when depicting this supernatural character.
