The Souls of the Ships, narrated by Joe Barrett, is a stunningly beautiful Christmas short story that is perfect for the holidays and a great story to add to your audiobook collection. The tale tells of lost love, beauty, and the magic of a foggy Christmas Eve night that leads to an unexpected event. An earlier version of this story appeared about 20 years ago in Lake Superior Magazine. Since then it has only been published in Italian and German.
