Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque Volume 1


Read by Mike Bennett

(4.5 stars; 77 reviews)

A second helping of podcast fiction from 'One Among the Sleepless' author, Mike Bennett. 'Hall of Mirrors' is a short story collection featuring tales of horror, the grotesque and people in... 'unusual' circumstances.

Delivered in a style that pays homage to Night Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the old British horror anthology movies of the 1960s, this is a collection of modern gothic tales with a nail of dark humour hammered through its heart. So roll up, ladies and gentlemen, and enter the Hall of Mirrors – if you dare.

"This is the way horror audio should be done: Mike Bennett's podcast storytelling is an exceptionally generous free treat for the ears and the mind. Listen to the Hall of Mirrors, and you'll feel his dark and twisted imaginations fingering their way into your ear canals, his remarkable voice prying into your brain in the most creepiest and unforgettable of ways. Hall of Mirrors is a refreshingly fun experience, that's well worth downloading -- you'll love every strange and grotesque moment!"

-- Michael A. Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Proverbs for Monsters

Reviews


I really enjoyed Hall of Mirrors - Volume 1. The style of the intros reminded me of those old Hammer Horror films where they linked 4 or 5 stories with a device like someone reading tarot cards. The stories themselves were a balance between humour & horror. Hair & Skin ...


I just discovered this series and I'm glad I did! Intriguing stories and excellent narration. Each story is so descriptive it’s easy to have a clear mental image of the scenes. And now I see many more Mike Bennett recordings in the library . . . can’t wait to download ...


Part 2 of Hair and Skin scared the crap out of me! Yes I would like a cup of tea or something. lol That was awesome. No story has ever captivated me the way that story has. I've got to get to part 3 finale to find out what happens ...


On trolls ep: for a second I thought you would twist it and have Martin be skitzo and be murdering kids. I still dont get why Janice said what she did. I am still shaking from that ep. Move over Stephen King. ... On to the grave. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.


With Halloween 4 weeks away, I was in the mood for some creepy stories. Found this online and have been thoroughly entertained! Also really enjoy the humor Mr. Bennett injects in his stories and his banter before and after a reading. GREAT WORK!


A fantastic collection of stories! I've just finished vol. 1 and am so glad I was behind on finding Podiobooks because now I won't have to wait weeks or months for vol. 2 to be posted. God, now THAT would have been scary - no more Mike Bennett story-time! I ...

Great work


(5 stars)

A wonderful collection of dark sometimes hilarious stories beautifully written and read by the great Mike Bennett audio books at their best if you enjoyed these please go check out Underwood and Flinch, One among the sleepless and his other work you won't be disappointed 5stars


More great work from Mike. Top notch writing and narration (think full-cast, all in one talented fella). The master of macabre/humour, he really is in a league of his own. Do yourself a favour, download all of Mike's work, I promise you, you will not regret it.
