Wonderful

Each of the stories is a bit off, each in its own way, but all of them are lovely to listen to.
A short listen, but in the Plus Catalogue.
Highly recommended!

A short book of short stories

High quality short story writing excellently narrated.

Shame there weren’t more of them. I would have paid to listen to more.

Twilight Zones

I love this collection of short stores, each one like an episode of the Twilight Zone, each one with a twist in the tale! Performances generally good, especially RC Bray reading The Egg which is outstanding!

In the great tradition of short stories

Tasty, satisfying, a little short, yet, in the honorable tradition of science fiction and the lot of stories. Worth the credit, even though it is nowhere near the length I hoped for.

martians fans…

don’t expect this to provide the same entertainment - clever twists to short stories but tbh once you’re in the groove of expecting a clever twist, the rhythm at which they’re delivered makes it all a bit monotonous.Mr Weir - more martian and less short stories pls.
