Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque Volume 1
Mike Bennett
Read by Mike Bennett
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

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 ...

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.
