Stephen Fry doesn't just narrate, he acts every character consummately, which isn't surprising, given his prodigious acting skills.

Before the Vela invasion, Rhyan's biggest concern was getting through a day of school. But when she is thrust into the madness of a kill-or-be-killed world, her true strength emerges and a deadly warrior is unleashed. Stumbling through the new morals of a post-apocalyptic world, she learns to depend only on herself. As she gets closer to discovering what the aliens actually want, her lethality becomes unmatched, and she soon learns the extent she'll go to in order to survive.

It's little surprise "Girl Vs" has been such a success. This is what folks want to hear. Brave, young, distinctive female characters courageously fighting evil in a chilling dystopian, sci-fi landscape. When coupled with Tonia Blake's magnificent performance, it's a smash hit.
Here's hoping Xela Culleto keeps bringing it strong!

What did you love best about To Cut a Short Story Short: 111 Little Stories?
Very short stories can be a tremendous challenge for an author, but he consistently rises to the challenge. In a span of a few minutes, he seizes the listener’s attention, and transports the listener to an intriguing setting with intriguing characters. Sometimes the tales are remarkably brief (like “The Majorette” or “What the Devil.”) “Caravan of Nightmares,” however, delivers the goods with over twenty-five minutes of content.
The author quickly establishes himself as a master story-teller, with each tale captivating the listener. Short stories (and very short stories) like this are part of a wonderful genre that is very easy to appreciate and enjoy. The genre works extremely well in the audiobook format, where listeners may want to immerse themselves in something from beginning to end in less than five minutes (perhaps during a car ride, or while running an errand).
What does Angus Freathy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m already a huge Angus Freathy fan, which is why I selected him to narrate my historical novels. Mister Freathy is an absolutely superb voice actor. In addition to the classical British, Masterpiece Theater-esque gravitas he provides, he also demonstrates a very impressive array of accents and voices. His accents are wonderful in “A Friend in Need,” which takes the listener to a hot, sultry night in Rio. Across more than one hundred distinct tales, the dialogue is crisp and distinctive. I don’t think Mister Wood could have made a better choice for his narrator.
Any additional comments?
Five stars to Simon J. Wood and “To Cut a Short Story Short.” Literature fans and audiobook fans will love these fascinating tales, with each one delightfully interpreted by an outstanding narrator.
