Some of these stories really had me suckered. Specifically Annie's day and The Midtown Butcher. Good mix.

Good mix.

I read a couple of Andy Weir novels a while back then noticed the short story The Egg on Audible. It was 8 mins long and could be purchased for 1 credit (!) or £2.99. I left it but looked again last week and found that The Egg is included in a short story collection and was in the Plus catalogue so was free. Happy days!

I listened to this struggling through traffic on a long tedious drive. It was ok but didn’t really grab me. 3 days later and o have just listened again whilst quietly doing a craft project. This time I enjoyed each story.

Short stories are an odd medium in some ways. You are just getting into a story then it ends. Not enough time to really build up substance

I enjoyed this collection - all a bit quirky with twists

Short and sweet

Very thought provoking stories. It is short overall but still a worthwhile listen. The End.

Short but entertaining nonetheless

Each of the stories is a bit off, each in its own way, but all of them are lovely to listen to.
A short listen, but in the Plus Catalogue.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful

This is my favourite collection of short stories!
The collection is a great mix with many unpredictable endings, some more predictable, but overall thought provoking and interesting.
Overall my only complaint is that there isn't more and aren't any longer short stories!

Great surprises and interesting short stories
