  • Summary

  • Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 15 short stories written in the style of a classic kid’s tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. 

    What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. A middle age man is haunted by the voices of his own aging body. 

    The stories will make you laugh, cry and probably squirm a little. All performed by actors like Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Ellen Page, Mike Birbiglia, and many more.

Not for me

Not for me at all. But it's free so why not have a
listen. Best just leave it if you don't like the first one as they are all in the same style.

Not car audio friendly

Listened to two stories in the car but have to manually skip to the next story. Good job I was in traffic! Shame as looks good.

Some stories I really enjoyed

Some of the stories are really good and cleverly play on real life. Good performances in general and I love Nick Offerman.

OK-ish

No thinking required. This is a collection of easy to listen short stories with little to nourish your intellect. But like a Mars bar is just empty calories but nice occasionally, so this audio book has its place.
