  • Outstanding!

    The listener is transported to the myriad worlds of terribly interesting authors by the sublime narration rendered by Mr Spike. These are stories from other times and places, brought to vivid life, or death, with flair and gravity, ever revering in the prose and poetry, befitting these wondrous stories. Mr Spike’s sonorous voice is the perfect delivery for these stories of eldritch tales.
