Fantastic, as always

Revisado: 03-29-25

The story MacGuire weaves is always enjoyable, filled with imagery easily brought to life by one’s imagination.

The narrator helped through his performance.

I thoroughly loved it. We’ll hope future for performances of the story are not lessened as some of his stories have been.

Sure would have been nice to have had this…

…35 years ago…

But I’m not sure all of the suggestions would have worked, as I tried them constantly.

Spectacular!

Both the story and the performance kept me intrigued. I plan to listen again and listen to others.

Some of the stories weren’t great. Some of the narrators were horrible.

Just know there are some hidden beauties. Listen for them. And watch out for the stinkers.

Balki does Poe, but better

Revisado: 09-17-20

Except for the faux French accent, which is fine although sometimes distracting, the performance was enjoyable. Not Balki, but yet that is what drew me to this performance. Because I’m a Perfect Stranger’s fan. (You children should look it up.)

As for Poe, his work is timelessly dark like delicious rich chocolate...with a touch of arsenic.

Come for the story, stay for the performance, but wince at the overuse of music and the slightly grating French accent.

It is still an enjoyable time.

But seriously...could the people mastering these please cut back on the music a bit? PLEASE?

Narrators breathing heavily = HUGE DISTRACTION

Revisado: 08-13-20

Butcher rocks. Dresden is my jam. Period. He is why I listened. Certainly wish he’d get Marsters to do his shorts because this guy was annoying.

Then the following story, by Rachel Caine, was amazing. Something I’d love to read a series with. Sadly she only has three short stories to offer in the “series”.

Charlaine Harris’ tangentially related True Blood-ish story, Bacon, was pretty good. Although the narrator was far too chipper. Plus nasal is not sexy. And 1940s noir has its place, but this was not it.

Vegas Odds...Had to stop...I could not get past the wheezing and heavy breathing from the narrator. I’m asthmatic, so I understand breathiness is sometimes unavoidable, but dang... just suck on the oxygen and let someone else narrate.

I’m trying to get through the other stories, although it isn’t easy at times.

And I know that tastes differ.

If it weren’t for Harry Dresden, I’d have passed in it. Honestly.

Utterly enthralling

Revisado: 08-08-20

The storytelling is so personal. It grabs you and takes you through the nightmare with the author. It is an amazing work and should be required reading for high school history classes. Maybe we could have less of this mess going on now if people truly understood what was going on.
