About this listen

Two husbands secretly agree to a night of passion - with each other's wives; a slighted old man takes an elaborate and chilling revenge on his tormentor; a sculpture comes between a scheming wife and her put-upon husband....

Lust highlights a domestic familiarity always on the edge of something much, much darker. Collected together for the first time, stories include 'Madame Rosette', 'Neck', 'Georgy Porgy', 'The Visitor', 'The Last Act', 'The Great Switcheroo', 'Bitch', 'Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life', 'The Ratcatcher' and 'Nunc Dimittis'.

All the stories have a strange atmosphere but each is very clever, written by a master author and beautifully read.

Great selection of short stories

Outstanding!

Badly produced, however some good vocal performances, a couple of robotic voices. Brilliant stories as expected

poorly edited but brilliantly written

Riveting tales, will keep you guessing to the end and beyond- especially "The Great Switcheroo!"

Good Stuff!

Madame Rosette might be my favourite all time short story. It's performed brilliantly here. 4 stars as the others don't quite reach the same heights, although listening to Mark Heap is a treat.

Worth it for the first story alone
