Reviews

good collection, some repetitive stories from previous collecti


(3.5 stars)

some recordings are of poor quality, absolutely understandable, but lots of pops, static and some background noise in some stories.

Great stories.

I am listening to all of the science fiction collections in numerical order so I have now listened to this story to be or not to be like five times now, this is the best recording of all of them. so much effort and care was put in this was delightful to listen to, even listening to the story for the 5th time in probably as many days

The Stoker and the Stars
