Absolutely wonderful stories made even better by Fry’s sensational storytelling and narration. Fry’s ability to draw you so deeply into every story is beyond compare.

I really relished listening to these. Stephen Fry’s narration crackles with equal measures of menace and warmth. I enjoyed the atmospheric sound effects. They added a rhythm and pace to the stories. Well done to all involved.
