Reseñas

Trigger Warning


(0.5 estrellas)

Posting a Trigger Warning - these have gross violence. esp. Poe's Black Cat. Couldn't finish it. Wish I'd not heard that part.

Marjorie Daw


(5 estrellas)

I only listened to this one story from this collection. Marjorie Daw is a really great story and that is all I will say. If I say any more it might spoil your listening pleasure. Highly recommend. Also the narrator was top notch!

The Toys of Peace


(4 estrellas)

When children pointing a finger as an imaginary weapon at another child may cause suspension from school, this is social engineering at its best. A good dramatic reading I enjoyed anyways.

Wonderful, Depressing Stories


(4 estrellas)

Some of these are all-time classic stories, but it is funny how many of them end on a really depressing note. My favorite is "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry

Young Goodman Brown


(5 estrellas)

Young Goodman Brown is an interesting but sad story full of symbolism.

Didn’t finish it


(2 estrellas)

I didn’t realise that the theme for this selection of stories was morbid plots. I listened to a few stories, and then googled the rest to confirm my suspicions that this was a sad bunch of tales. They might be well written and appreciated by others, but I like my reading it be a little more cheerful.
