- Older Stories are Better
I have tried to continue listening but it seems as the voice changed, so did the type of story. Now they seem more gory than scary. The older stories made you think a bit, settle in to the creepiness. Now they just seem more violent.

I discovered Otis and now am trying to figure out how to break into the voice acting world. His ability to connect the audience to the story is uncanny. Love the stories that make your skin crawl. Thank you Otis.
Edit: changed my rating from 5 star to an unfortunate 1 star. Jiry was AMAZING. Blackwell isn’t a very good storyteller though. He ends by explaining the story as if the listener isn’t smart enough to grasp the story itself. It’s like telling a joke, not getting a laugh, and thinking t... more
